Chapter 8

One morning, a few months later, Jack woke up and looked at the clock that read 7 a.m. Noticing that Audrey was awake also, he rolled over on top of her, meeting her eyes as he leaned down to kiss her.

"Mhmm, morning," she said as their kiss ended.

"Morning, beautiful,"Jack replied running his hand over her swelling belly, "how's our little one doing in there?"

"Kicking a lot," Audrey replied with a smile on her face as Jack smiled, feeling the baby kicking.

"What time's your doctor appointment?" he asked.

"It's at 11:30," she replied.

"Ok I have a meeting at 9, but I'll be home by then," he explained.

"Jack, it's just a routine check-up. You don't have come home from work to go with me."

"I know, but I was never home while Teri was pregnant with Kim. I was away on a mission from her third month till a month after Kim was born. I've always regretted not being there to help her or see the birth of my own daughter. I'm gonna be there with you every step of the way and more importantly I want to be there," Jack explained to her.

"Well when you put it that way, how can I say no?" she replied, grateful that Jack wanted to go with her.

Smiling down at her he said, "It's still early, go back to sleep and I'll see you when I get back from meeting ok?"

"Ok, I love you," she said leaning up to give him a quick kiss.

"I love you too, sweetheart," he replied, climbing out of bed and heading over to the bathroom, "I'll see you later."

After Jack closed the bathroom door, Audrey rolled over onto her side and buried her head in Jack's pillow, inhaling his scent, and drifting off to sleep.

At 10:45, Jack walked in the door to find Audrey sitting in the kitchen, sipping a glass of orange juice while watching the news. Walking over behind her, he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hey," she greeted, looking up to meet him in the eyes.

"Hey, how long have you been up?" he said taking a seat across from her.

"Since 10," she replied, "I love being able to sleep late on my day off."

"I glad you enjoyed it," he said, "while you were sleeping, I was sitting in conference listening to 10 senators argue for an hour and a half."

"O you must have loved that," she replied, teasing him.

"O yeah," he said, sarcastically, "so, you ready to go?"

"Yup," she said, washing out her glass and pulling on her shoes. Audrey walked over into the hallway, followed by Jack, and grabbed her purse. The couple then headed out to Jack's car and drove off in the direction of the doctor's office.

At 11:25, Jack and Audrey walked into the office and were greeted by the receptionist.

"Good morning," the woman greeted.

"Good morning, I'm Audrey Bauer, I have an appointment at 11:30."

Typing Audrey's name into the computer the woman said, "Ah, yes, Mrs. Bauer, if you could just take a seat, Dr. White, will be with you shortly."

"Thank you," Jack said, as he placed his hand on small of his wife's back and guided her over towards two chairs.

Ten minutes later, a doctor in his mid-forties emerged into the waiting room and called the couple back into the examining room.

"Audrey, it's good to see you again. I assume this is your husband, Jack, right?"the doctor inquired.

"Yes this is Jack Bauer," she introduced him, "Jack this is Dr. Kevin White."

The two men shook hands, and then the doctor turned back to Audrey and asked, "So how are you feeling?"

"Fine, no more morning sickness, and the baby is definitely kicking a lot," she replied with a smile.

"Well why don't we take a look?" he said as he said up the monitor and an image came up on the screen.

As the doctor checked to make sure everything was ok, Jack and Audrey both sat there in awe as they gazed at the image of their baby on the screen.

"Well, everything looks healthy. Would you like to know the sex of the babies?"

"I'm sorry, did you say babies?" Audrey asked, completely dumbstruck.

"Yes, there are two distinct heartbeats and fetuses in there. You're having twins."

"Twins?" Jack repeated, looking as shocked as Audrey.

"Yes, and I can tell by your reactions that you didn't know."

"No, no not exactly," Audrey responded, "You said you could tell us the sexes?"

"Yes, if you'd like to know."

Looking over at Jack, she asked, "Do you want to know now?"

Taking her hand, he replied, "Yeah."

Turning back to Dr. White, she said, "Yes, we'd like to know."

"You're having twin boys," he said, excusing himself from the room to give the couple some time to process the new information.

Looking back over at Jack, Audrey said, "Twin boys, I can't believe it."

"I know," Jack replied with a smile on his face, "You're happy about this right?"

"Of course," she said, matching his smile, "are you?"

"Definitely," he said, leaning down and kissing her on the lips.

"You know this means we're gonna need to buy a bigger house, right?" she said.

"Yeah, but we'd probably would have ended up buying one anyway, so this just gives us more of a reason to."

"Good point," she responded, smiling as Jack leaned down and planted a kiss on her belly and then her forehead. As he placed his hand on her stomach, she covered it with her own and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Wrapping his arm around her and pulling her close, he whispered in her ear, "I love you, baby."

"I love you too, Jack," she replied, leaning into his touch.
