A/N thanks again for all the reviews. love hearing from you.
Sam's pregnancy was progressing smoothly. At almost three months pregnant the morning sickness had not abated, and she was already beginning to show. A fact she found disturbing.
"Jack, come look at this!" Walking into their bedroom the last thing he expected to find was his fiancé completely naked and standing in front of a mirror.
"Wow, you can call me in here to look at this anytime." He replied in a silky voice, wrapping his arms around her from behind and putting his large hands on her stomach.
"I'm starting to show. Isn't it too early? I mean, I'm only two and half months along!"
Coming around in front of her and bending down to her belly he whispered, "Gracie, what do you think? Do you think mommy is starting to show too early?"
She smiled, not only because of the adorable-ness of the scene in front of her, but also his serious face while staring at her belly button as if waiting for an answer. He then leaned forward kissed her stomach stating, "Yeah, Gracie, that's what I thought too."
Standing back up to meet her eye to eye, he said, "Gracie says she might have company."
Looking at him confused momentarily, Sam suddenly got his meaning, and she gasped.
"Twins? Jack? Do they run in your family, cause they certainly don't in mine!"
"My father was a twin, and his grandfather was a twin. So, if it's going in order… then yeah, there's a possibility. I guess we'll find out tomorrow when we go to see Carolyn."

They were nervous. Walking into the mountain, heading for the infirmary, they both knew the implications of this exam. It was the first exam where they would be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. Babies, maybe.
Laying back on the table and lifting her shirt, she watched, fascinated, as Carolyn prepped the ultrasound machine. It was a new 3-D machine where they would actually see a holographic image of the baby.
Putting the heartbeat monitor low on her belly, Carolyn began the examination explaining that a full sweep of the abdomen was required before anything visual was displayed.
An agonizing five minutes later, something finally appeared.
With a large gasp, Sam, once again, began crying muttering, "Damn hormones." Jack squeezed her hand in an almost vice-like grip as he tried to catch his breath, as Carolyn turned around and faced the couple with a beaming smile.
There was no mistaking, it was definitely twins.

The most wonderful thing in the universe to Sam was when Carolyn turned on that machine and she heard her baby's heartbeat.
The second most wonderful thing in the universe to Sam was when she saw her babies on that hologram. She was having twins. Wow.
The most frightening thing in the universe to Sam was when she saw Carolyn start typing quickly on the computer, and start moving around the heartbeat monitor.
The most painful thing in the universe to Sam was when she realized that she could see two babies, and only hear one heartbeat.
The second most painful thing in the universe to Sam was when she watched Jack realize it too.
A/N Don't hate me.
