Squid looked around and then looked at his watch. They had been in there a long time. He started to get butterflies in his stomach. He had been in this waiting room before, only this time it was exciting instead of scary. Kandy was having another baby. It was being born on time and the doctor said everything was going well.
Squid looked at everyone in the room. There was another guy who had a wife in labor and they talked for a while until the man found out that the birth was not going well, and then he fell silent. There was an older woman who was waiting for her name to be called she had a large bruise on her arm and he figured she fell or something and needed to make sure everything was ok. There were a few small children running around and Squid's thoughts switched from the people in the waiting room to his daughter back home. She was being baby-sat by X-ray. Before they left Nevaeh stopped her dad and pulled him down to her height. She was almost four and was incredibly smart for her age.

"Daddy, I want a baby sister."
Squid hugged his daughter.
"We don't know if it is a boy or a girl."
"Daddy please, I want a baby sister!"
"Ok I will do my best."
He kissed his daughter and rushed out of the door and jumped into the car. He drove to the hospital and helped his wife into a wheelchair.
End of flashback
The doctor came out of the big doors and shook Squid's hand.
"We made a mistake last time you were in to see us. You see Smith is a very common last name and well…instead of one baby…you got two. Your file was mixed up with another Smith."
Squid stared at the doctor.
"There are two of them?"
"Yes one boy and one girl. Would you like to see your wife now?"
Squid nodded and followed the doctor into his wife's room. He rushed over to her and looked into the faces of his new son and daughter.
"Squid look! Twins!"
Squid half smiled and half laughed. He was over come with shock and happiness.
"Are they healthy?"
"Yah! Really healthy!"
Squid took his son from Kandy's arms and held him.
"Baby, I was thinking, you know how we had one boy name and one girl name picked out? Well why don't we use them both?"
"Sounds good to me!"
Squid leaned over and kissed Kandy. She looked into his eyes, into her daughter's eyes, and then back at Squid.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
2 days later:
Kandy finally returned home late that night. Nevaeh was waiting for her.
"Is it a girl?"
She kneeled down next to her daughter.
"A boy and a girl; we had twins Nevaeh! Look!"
"I get a brother and a sister?"
Squid smiled and nodded.
"Yup. So what do you think? Do they look good?"
Nevaeh nodded.
"Perfect!"
