Authors Note: See disclaimer way back in Chapter 1. This chapter starts after Sarah's and Ruthie's conversation in Secrets.

Chapter 7: Secrets and Fights

Sarah sighed as she hung up the phone. She had just finished her short chat with Ruthie. She knew that she had revealed the biggest secret she carried right now to Ruthie. The only thing that made it okay was that she knew that Ruthie wouldn't reveal it to anyone.

The only thing that she knew she would have to tell Matt was the fact that she had let Ruthie out of keeping their long-standing secret. It still amazed her to this day that the only three people who knew their real wedding anniversary were her, Matt and Ruthie.

All of the sudden, her hand reached down to her stomach. She had just felt a swift kick. She smiled as the other twin followed with a gentler kick. It seemed that this was the beginning of the competition between the two of them for her attention. As she began to feel them move, she noticed that the one on the left tended to dominate the amount of kicking.

As Sarah picked up her purse to head to the hospital, she noticed the envelope. At her last doctor's appointment, she had asked the doctor to write down the sex of the babies and place it in an envelope. Matt had been called to assist with a delivery and therefore been unable to stay for the appointment. The doctor had told Sarah that she could tell today about the babies' sex, but Sarah had wanted to find out with her husband. The envelope was still in her purse, itching to be opened. It would have to wait since she and Matt would not see each other until the next night.

At the hospital

Matt walked up to the nurse's station. He smiled when he heard a familiar voice calling out his name.

Sarah walked up to Matt and said, "I need to talk to you. Do you think we could meet for lunch?"

Matt eyed the clock and said, "Give me another hour and I'll meet you down there."

Sarah gave him a quick kiss and headed down to her floor. She knew that she could get off since her supervisors had pretty much given her more lean-to since she had told the dean of the school that she was pregnant.

At the Cafeteria

Matt hurried into the cafeteria. He was already running ten minutes late, and he knew that he could only stay for thirty minutes. He spotted his wife already downing a sandwich. He was pretty sure that the sandwich was load with mayo. If he learned one thing in the past month, his wife was craving mayo. He usually stopped by the local market on his way home to pick up an extra jar or two of may.

"Hey," Matt whispered. "I'm sorry I'm late. I ran into Dr. Charles and he updated me on a couple of patients of ours."

"It's okay. I just got here. The cafeteria guy knows me pretty well. As soon as he saw me, he fixed me my sandwich. He forgot the no mustard policy though," Sarah said with a slight gag at the taste of it.

"You want me to finish it?" Matt asked. Sarah nodded and handed him the sandwich. As he ate, Sarah recounted the conversation that she had with Ruthie.

"YOU told her to tell my parents the truth?" Matt exclaimed. Sarah slightly jumped at his tone. Matt looked at her and said, "So, NOW my parents are going to know the truth that we eloped on our first date!"

"What's wrong with them knowing? I mean, I felt bad for Ruthie. Since we decided to keep the pregnancy a secret, I've been having a hard time hiding it from my parents, and"..Sarah started crying and couldn't finish.

Matt groaned. Since he had experienced so many pregnant women, including his own mother, he found the experience even more difficult since he was dealing with his own wife! Sarah was naturally stubborn, but the pregnacy brought out the stubborness along with an emotional side.

"Listen, I didn't mean to get upset. I was just suprised that the news came out this way. I just hope my parents aren't too mad at us," Matt whispered as he reached out to wipe away her tears.

Sarah nodded and blew her nose on a nearby napkin. "Oh," she whispered as her hand automatically reached toward her growing stomach.

"What?" Matt asked.

"Twin A apparently didn't like me sneezing. It just kicked really hard," Sarah said. "Give me your hand." As Matt did, the twin once again kicked, but this time was following by its sibling. "And, yes, they have been doing that all day long."

"Wow. This is amazing. That's our kids kicking around in there," Matt whispered as he gently caressed her stomach. He leaned in and gave Sarah a gentle kiss on the lips. "I've gotta head back to work. I'll come say goodbye before I head home."

Sarah sighed as she watched him walk off. She smiled as she thought of the fact that now she and Matt could tell their kids the fact that she and Matt had eloped on their first date.

Preview: revealing the babies sex

Author's Note: Okay you guys, as of right now i could probably spit out one more chapter. I need some ideas. Also, how long is it Camden time between Secrets and the actual wedding? Leave me a review and give me a rough idea. I would greatly appreciate it.

On another note, "The Newlyweds" should be completed no later than Monday. All I have to do is tweak Chapter 5. Chapter 6 is pretty much ready to go.
