Two months have passed since Sora and Kairi got married and it was now July. They decided to wait on their honeymoon until after Skye was born and things were more settled down. By that time, Kairi had her named legally changed from McCormick to Hart. She went and got an ultrasound to find out if the baby was a boy or a girl, since she was now seven months pregnant, but the doctor couldn't quite tell, but she did give them a big surprise.
"So, how's the baby?" asked Kairi.
"The baby, or should I say, babies, are fine." said the doctor with a smile on her face.
Sora and Kairi turned and looked at each other in shock.
"We're-we're having twins?" stammered Kairi.
The doctor nodded.
Sora and Kairi smiled and hugged each other.
The next day, Sora and Kairi decided to put together the babies' room. All that was in there was the changing table and a bassinet, which were wedding gifts from Riku and Ryo.
Sora and Kairi drove to a baby furniture store to check out the cribs.
"What do you think of this one?" asked Kairi as she pointed to a wooden crib with one hand and holding her now large stomach with the other hand.
Sora examined it. "I don't know." he said. "It looks a little dull and a little small."
He turned and saw a white crib on the other side of the store. "Or how about that one over there?" he asked. "It's more interesting and it has more room."
He and Kairi walked over to the crib and took a good, long look at it. Then, they turned to each other and nodded.
Sora called over the salesman.
"May I help you?" he asked.
"Yeah, we're going to get this crib, but two of them." said Sora with a smile on his face.
"Excellent choice." said the salesman. "Are you having twins?"
Kairi nodded.
"Well congratulations." said the salesman. "Anything else?"
Sora went to go get a second bassinet since Ryo only gave them one. It wasn't her fault. No one knew Sora and Kairi were going to have twins. He came back with not only a bassinet, but also a double stroller. The items were paid for, and the cribs would be delivered to their house the next day, but Sora took the stroller and the bassinet home.
As they rode home, Kairi turned to Sora.
"Sora, we need to come up with three more names." she said. "We have Skye, but what if there's another boy or the twins are girls?"
Sora stopped at a stop light and turned to Kairi.
"Well, I was thinking that if Skye has a twin brother, I was thinking of naming the other boy Joshua." he said.
"That's sounds like a good name." said Kairi in an approving voice. "But what if they're girls?"
"How about we give her your middle name as her first name." suggested Sora. "I like your middle name, so if we have twin girls, they could be named Skye and Chantelle."
"Wow, you really know how to think!" laughed Kairi.
"Hey, is that an insult?" asked Sora.
Kairi looked ahead. "Light's green!" she said.
Sora drove off when the other cars in front of him sped off...
Later that afternoon, Riku, Ryo, Alexa, and Hurky gathered at Sora and Kairi's house just to hang out. That was when Sora and Kairi announced their news.
"So I went in for an ultrasound today." began Kairi. "And the doctor said that she couldn't find a gender yet, but she said that I'm going to have twins!"
"OMG, twins!" squealed Ryo.
"That's awesome!" said Hurky.
"Congrats!" said Alexa.
"Nice!" said Riku as he slapped Kairi a high five.
"Did you decide any more names?" asked Hurky.
"Skye and Joshua if they're boys, and Skye and Chantelle if they're girls." answered Sora.
"Those are cute names." said Alexa.
"I know, aren't they?" asked Kairi. "Sora came up with them himself!"
"Awwww..." cooed the girls in the room.
"Just one thing, Sora, Kairi." said Riku. "Make sure one's not evil!"
Riku himself was a twin. He was the younger twin and also the good one since Rep was older and more evil.
"We won't know for another few years, Riku." said Sora.
Ryo sighed dreamily. "I can't wait to get married." she said.
Everyone remembered that Riku accidentally caught the bouquet when Kairi threw it at the reception two months earlier.
"I would get married," said Riku. "But I'm just not ready yet."
Kairi took a sip of her lemon water when she felt something kicking inside her stomach.
"Oof! OMG, I think the babies are kicking!" she said.
Sora put his hand on Kairi's stomach and felt the kicking, too.
"Yeah, and they can't wait to get out!" joked Sora.
"Let me feel it!" said Hurky as she got up and put her hand on Kairi's stomach and also felt the kicking. "Whoa."
Riku stood up and also put a hand on Kairi's stomach. Then Alexa, and finally Ryo.
"Wow..." said Riku with a laugh. "Pregancy is sure a crazy thing!"
"Okay, but no offense, but I think the babies need some room!" said Kairi.
"Whoops." said Alexa. "Sorry!"
"It's alright." said Kairi. She picked up her water and took a sip.
That night, Sora slept soundly next to Kairi in their large bed, but Kairi couldn't. She was sleepy, but she used to sleep on her side, back and her stomach before she was pregnant. She now had to sleep on her back all the time, especially since she was carrying two babies and they were due in two or three months. She didn't mind sleeping on her back, but she couldn't stay on her back all the time. She finally drifted off to sleep, but all during the night, she had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom, which luckily was next to their bedroom.
When Kairi got back from the bathroom a fourth time and slowly got into bed, trying not to disturb Sora, she sighed. Is it going to be like this every night until I have the babies? thought Kairi. Sora had to go to work tomorrow, so he needed the sleep. Kairi was officially on maternity leave, so she didn't have to go back to work until at least the beginning of December. Six weeks before the babies were born, and six weeks after the babies were born, so she'd have time to take care of them.
This was going to be the longest two or three months of Kairi's 23 and a half years of her life.
