AN: Thanks to all who reviewed! Sorry about the docter's name. It is just coincidence. This chapter takes place four months after the previous one. There will probably be about one our two chapters after this one.

Chapter 5

I sat up in bed with some difficulty. I was now four months pregnant and my stomach was pretty big, if I do say so myself. I had gained quite a few pounds but I was as happy as I had ever been. Troy was at practice for the morning so I had the house to myself.

I got up and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. I looked in the refridgerator and smiled. Troy...I thought, while rolling my eyes. He had left me a prepared cheese omlette, my favorite, and toast for my breakfast. When I took the plate out of the fridge, I noticed a note attached.

I didn't want you to cook today, you should rest. Don't forget the appointment this afternoon. Relax for the day and I'll be home by two. Lunch is there as well so don't worry 'As if I would.'I continued to read. 'about it. Have a great day without me!

- Love and miss you already,

Troy

I smiled at his thoughtfulness and went to the table to eat. After I put my dishes in the dishwasher, I went back upstairs to take a shower and prepare for the appointment. I put on a pair of jeans, red shirt and a brown jacket. When I was finished, I looked at the clock. It was 11:30am. I decided to read a book until I was hungry enough to eat my lunch. An hour later, I went to the fridge to find a turkey sandwich. I ate it and then continued with my book. At 1:55, Troy walked in the door.

"Honey I'm home!" He yelled through the house. I laughed at him. Only Troy would do something like that. He must have heard me laughing because he appered in the doorway of the library a few seconds later.

"Hello" He said as he came in the room and sat next to me.

"Hello to you to." I said, marking my place in my book, setting it down and facing him. It was then that I took in his appearence. He was in dark jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. His hair was still wet from his shower and was hanging into his eyes. He looked so cute! He leaned over to give me a light kiss before pulling away and looking at me.

"How was your day so far?" He asked.

"Quiet and a bit lonely without without you. I also found a note in my breakfast this morning. Do you have any idea how that got there?" I said with a fake puzzled expression on my face and in my voice.

"Hmmm... I don't know. Was there a name on this note?" He asked, also faking curiousness.

"Yeah it was... What was the name again? Oh yeah. It was you." I said looking him in the eye.

"Really?" He said faking shock, "I had no idea." I lauged at him and he joined me. For the next hour, we sat in the den and watched tv.

Then, at 3:00pm, we turned off the tv and Troy took my hand, helping me off the couch. We walked to the car, hand in hand, and Troy opened the door for me as I climbed in. He got in the other side and we drove to the docter's office. We walked in, checked in and before we new it, we were sitting in the office, waiting for the docter.

"Are you excited?" I asked Troy from my lying position on the hospital bed.

"Yes. I can't wait to find out what our children are. I only hope one of them likes basketball." I laughed, 'although it would be nice to have another Wildcat star in the family', I thought. A few seconds later, the docter walked in.

"Hello. Are you ready to see your children?" She asked, setting up the machine.

"Yes we are. We can find out the sexes today, right?" Troy asked.

"Yes", She said, looking at the screen. "And... there it is. This is wonderful. You will be giving birth to a boy and a girl. Congradulations, one of each. I'll get the pictures and then come back." She walked out of the room and Troy and I grined at eachother.

"This is just what I've always wanted. I little boy and a little girl. This is wonderful."

"I know. This is wonderful!" Troy told me, kissing me on the lips. "So...", He continued," when do you want to tell everyone?"

"What if we call everyone and invite them over for lunch tommorrow. We can announce it then." I suggested.

"Good idea." He responded as the docter came back into the room with the photos. We thanked her as she handed them to us and then, we left for home. Once we got there, Troy and I called everyone to invite them over, saying that we had an announcement to make.

"What is it?" Taylor asked, curious, on the other side of the line. I had called her last, knowing she would pick for information.

"You'll just have to wait and see." I said teasingly. She let it go and we talked for a bit. After a bit, I glanced at the clock, 6:00pm. "Umm Tay? I have to go help Troy make dinner... Alright. I'll see you tommorrow, bye."

I hung up the phone and walked from the study to the kitchen. As I opened the door, my nose was filled with a delissious odour. I looked over to the stove to see Troy standing in front of it, cooking up a storm.

"What are you making?" I asked Troy in disbelief.

"Well, there is a salad, roast chicken, baked potatoes, and corn on the cob." He replied, pecking me on the cheek before going back to the stove.

"Wow, how long was I talking to Taylor?" I asked.

"About an hour. The chicken is almost ready." He said in a carefree manner. I laughed and decided to set the table. I was walking to the dining room when Troy yelled, "STOP!"

I froze, dead in my tracks, and turned to look at Troy, with a questioning expression on my face.

"What? It's a surprise. Now go sit in the den. I'll come get you when dinner is ready." I looked at him, puzzled. He just smiled and waved me out. I went out, curious as to what he had planned.

Fifteen minutes later, he came into the den, telling me to close my eyes. I did so apprehensively and he took my hand. I was led to the dining room and told to open my eyes. He really out did himself this time. It was a romantic dinner for two with candles, flowers, everything. I smiled to myself, 'Troy is so sweet'.

"Do you like it?" He asked, slightly apprehensive.

"I love it, thank-you." I said kissing him as he pulled out my chair and I sat down. We enjoyed a nice dinner, talking about us and the nurseries, before going to bed, needing rest to prepare for the next day.

The following morning, we both slept in. At 11:00am, I began to stir and Troy, arms around me, began to stir also. We got out of bed and went down to the kitchen for breakfast. I got us both some cereal. We ate and then Troy went to get a shower while I started took the stakes and ribs out of the freezer and placed them on the counter. I then wiped the table and headed upstairs to pick out my clothes. I showered after Troy and then dried my hair. He waited for me and then we went down to the kitchen to prepare the dinner.

We decided to make desert first. I took out the things needed and started to make a lemon marangue(?) pie. Meanwhile, Troy started to make a fruit salad. At 1:00pm, we ate a quick lunch before continuing with the preperations.

At five o'clock, I went upstairs to change, the salads, stir fry, and vegetables cooked and warming. When I came downstairs 45 minutes later, I was dressed in a black, nee-high dress, with a bit of make-up and my hair in curls. I looked out the back door to see Troy putting the stakes on the BBQ. He came in and gave me a light, yet passionate, kiss.

"You look wonderful." He said, whan we broke apart.

"Thank-you. Now go get ready before the gang gets here."

At 7:00pm, everyone began to arrive. We talked for a bit before sitting down to dinner. After desert was finished, Troy spoke up.

"We have invited you all here for dinner and to make an announcement. As you all know, Gabi is having a baby. Well, she is not only having one... We are having twins. A boy and a girl."

At this announcement the table broke out into congradulations and questions. By the time we answered them all, it was nearing 1am. It was them that everyone decided to call it a night. We said good-bye to the gang and our parents before turning in ourselves.
