Callen and Joelle looked at each other surprised. A little girl? They had a little girl? The doctor told them that they were expecting a little boy and they even saw it on the monitor.

"A girl?" Joelle spoke surprised. "You sure doctor?"

"Yes, I'm positive." The doctor held the baby up so Callen and Joelle could see the now crying baby. It really was a little baby girl. "Would you like to do the honors dad?"

Callen was handed the scissors and Callen cut the umbilical cord. The nurse went to check the baby and clean her up. The doctor grabbed the ultrasound machine and fired it up.

"I was for sure it was a boy," the doctor spoke. The doctor put some gel on the wand and put it on Joelle's stomach. "Ah I see it now."

"What?" Joelle asked concerned. "Is something wrong?"

"No, not wrong and you are in fact having a little boy."

"She is? Wait, does that mean twins?" Callen asked astonished.

"Yes twins. There is still a little baby boy inside waiting to come out."

"How can that be doctor?" Joelle asked. "Shouldn't the other baby have shown up on the ultrasounds as well."

"I've never experienced it before but I have heard stories about there being a surprise baby at birth. Sometimes the babies hide behind each other or one is so deep in the uterus that it doesn't show up on the ultrasounds. It doesn't happen very often but it does happen."

"Is everything still okay?"

"Yes don't worry. Everything is perfectly fine. I'm just gonna check you to see how far you're dilated." The doctor felt in between Joelle's legs. "You're seven centimeters right now, so we'll just have to wait. Don't worry, it's perfectly common with twins."

The nurse was done with cleaning and checking out the little girl. She had wrapped her up in a blanket and brought her over to Joelle.

"She's perfectly healthy mommy."

Joelle took the little girl from the nurse. She couldn't believe that she actually had a little girl and she would have a little boy shortly too. She had never thought about it being twins.

"Guess this little girl was very good at hiding," Joelle spoke.

"Yeah guess she was but she's beautiful, just like her mommy."

Callen looked down at the little girl lying in Joelle's arms. She was just perfect. She was a red-head just like Joelle but she had Callen's blue eyes. Callen counted ten little perfect fingers and ten little perfect toes and a cute button-nose.

"She's just perfect."

"Yes she is."

About five minutes later Joelle had the urge to push again. The nurse took the baby and put her in the crib as the doctor took her position in between Joelle's legs.

"Alright Joelle, here we go again. When the contraction comes I want you to push."

Callen held Joelle's hand as Joelle gave it everything she got. This baby was out faster.

"Relax honey, he's out," Callen told her and wiped her head once the baby was out.

Immediately the room was filled with his cries. Callen cut the umbilical cord and the nurse went to clean the baby up and check him out.

"No more babies hiding out in there right doctor," Joelle said.

"No, no more babies."

"Good, cus I don't think I could go again."

"You did great honey, I love you," Callen spoke and gave Joelle a soft kiss on her head. "You did great Jo, I love you."

"I love you too."

"He's doing very well, he's perfectly healthy." The nurse handed the little boy to Joelle.

Callen looked at the little boy. He was just perfect, ten perfect fingers and toes, a cute little nose, blond hair and piercing blue eyes.

"Hey there little guy," Joelle said to the baby. "So you had a little sister in there too huh. You couldn't have told mommy about that huh?"

Callen moved over to the crib and picked the little girl up, his little girl. He couldn't believe it. All this time they thought they were going to have a little boy and now they had a little boy AND a little girl. He was now holding his little girl, a little girl who they were not expecting but were very happy to have. Callen sat down next to Joelle on the bed.

"Look at that, we have two now," Callen said.

"Yeah we do. I can't believe we have a boy and a girl."

"Yeah me neither, but they are perfect."

"Yes they are," Joelle smiled as she looked up to Callen. "Thank you for making me a mommy."

"Thank you for making me a daddy." Callen leaned forward and gave Joelle a kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Do you have a name for the little babies?" The doctor asked.

"For the boy we do, but for the girl not yet. We weren't expecting a little girl so we never discussed girl names."

"That's okay, you can let the nurse know later. I'll be back later to check on you. Enjoy it."

"Thank you doctor, for everything."

"You're welcome."

The medical staff left the room and Callen and Joelle sat there with their two kids.

"So, I guess we better come up with a name for this little girl," Callen said.

"Yeah I guess we should."

They discussed names for a while. They each named a few names but the other didn't like them.

"How about Nora, Nora Callen?" Joelle suggested.

"Nora….. I like it. It sounds nice. Nora Callen. How about Nora Amelia Callen?"

"That sounds beautiful."

"What do you think little girl? Do you like Nora?" The little girl smiled up to Callen a little bit.

"I think she likes it."

"Alright, girl name settled and for the little boy we already had one."

"Yeah Jack, Jack Lucas Callen."

"Look at us now here, we have a little boy and a little girl."

"Yeah I can't believe it, but I'm very happy."

"Yeah me too."

Callen and Joelle looked at the little babies lying in their arms. This moment was just perfect. Sam was right. This was the most beautiful moment. And now Callen had two babies, a little boy and a little girl. He was very happy but also scared. He was still a bit scared about becoming a dad when it was just one baby but now it were two. He wondered how they would handle two little babies at home.

"Oh shoot," Joelle suddenly spoke. "We only have enough stuff for one baby and we don't have any clothes for the little girl."

"Yeah but don't worry about it honey. I will make sure everything is taken care off."

"Hi there," the nurse spoke as she walked in. "How's everything going here?"

"It's going very well," Joelle answered.

"Do you have names picked out already?"

"Yeah, we agreed on both names."

Joelle gave the names to the nurse who wrote the names on the wrist bands, on the cards in the cribs and on the birth papers. Callen and Joelle both signed the papers.

"Do you perhaps have a gift shop here where I can buy some baby clothes?" Callen asked. "We weren't expecting two babies so we have nothing for the little girl."

"Yes we do have a gift shop here where you can buy baby clothes. It's down in the lobby."

"Great thank you."

"I'll be back shortly to take the babies for their baths," the nurse spoke and left the room.

"I'll be right back honey, I'll just go pick out some clothes for the little girl. Will you be okay here?"

"Yes I'll be fine."

"Alright, be right back." Callen gave Joelle a kiss and quickly went down to the lobby.

Callen looked through the gift shop. They had some gift packages here for newborns. It contained a bodysuit, socks and a hat. They also had onesies. Callen picked out a white with pink stars bodysuit, a pink with white stars onesie with pink socks and a pink hat. Callen paid for it and quickly went upstairs.

"Those are cute G, she'll look great in them."

"They didn't have much here so I just took these. I will go to the store later and get some clothes for her."

"That's fine. But now we can at least dress her too."

"Well, it's time for their baths," the nurse spoke as she walked in. "Would you like to help us daddy?"

"Yeah of course. Can Joelle help too?"

"Sorry, she can't leave the bed just yet."

"It's okay G, you can do it yourself. You'll do great."

"Don't worry sir, I'll be there to help you."

"Alright." Callen gave Joelle a kiss. "I'll be back shortly, you just get some rest while I'm gone okay."

Callen grabbed the bag with the baby clothes and diapers and pushed the two cribs and followed the nurse. A bath was already waiting. Callen first picked up Nora. He put her on the changing table and took the blanket off of her.

"Alright, now slowly put the baby in the water." Callen first checked the water to make sure it wasn't too hot. "Keep your hand under her neck and with the other hand gently splash some water over her." Callen did as the nurse said. As Callen washed her the nurse took some pictures. "Alright very good. You can take her out now."

Callen took Nora out of the bath and put her on a towel on the changing table. He dried her off and then grabbed a diaper.

"Alright, now how does this go?"

"The first one is always tricky."

The nurse told Callen how to do it and then Callen dressed her. It was a bit tricky getting her arms in but Callen managed. He was actually quite proud of himself for dressing her.

"You look so cute," Callen spoke as he picked Nora up. "And you smell so nice."

Callen gave Nora a soft kiss on her head and put her down in her crib. He then did the same process with Jack. Jack cried a bit when Callen put him in the bath.

"It's okay buddy, daddy is just gonna wash you. It's okay buddy."

Callen slowly put Jack in the bath and just let him lay there for a second before washing him. Callen dried him off as well and dressed him too. He dressed Jack in a blue bodysuit and a Mickey Mouse onesie with matching hat and socks. He put Jack in his crib and took the babies back to the room.

"Hey mommy, here were are again. All freshly washed and dressed."

"Aww look at them. They look so cute."

"Yeah that they do."

"How did they do?"

"They both did fine. Jack cried a bit when I put him in first but he was okay after that. The nurse took some pictures for us."

Callen pulled out the camera and showed Joelle the pictures."

"Aww G, these are so cute. You really are a cute daddy."

"I hope I'll be a good daddy. I was scared enough as it was with one baby but now we have two."

"You'll do fine G. I can see that you already love them so much. You'll be a great daddy."

"I hope so."

"I know you will."

The babies had fallen asleep in their cribs so they just let them lay there.

"I'm just gonna make some calls," Callen softly spoke.

"Will you call my parents?"

"Yeah sure, unless you wanna call them yourself."

"No, it's okay. You can do it. I'm just gonna get some rest."

"Alright."

Callen gave her a soft kiss on hear head before walking into the hallway. He pulled his phone out and called Sam.

"Hey G," Sam answered the phone.

"Hey Sam, you busy?"

"Nah, we're just waiting for some new intel. What's up? Is the baby here?"

"Yes. We have a little boy."

"That's great G, congrats."

"And a little girl."

Sam wasn't sure he heard it right. "You have a boy and a girl? You have twins?"

"Yes we have, twins."

"Wow, I had no idea. You never said anything about twins."

"We didn't know about it. We thought we were getting a boy but the little girl was deep in the uterus so the doctor didn't see her."

"Wow that's something. Is everything okay with the both of them?"

"Yes everything is perfectly fine. They are both perfectly healthy and they are so cute."

"I told you this would be a perfect moment."

"Yes you did. It's amazing seeing your kids for the first time."

"I'm happy for you two G. What are their names?"

"Nora and Jack."

"Nice names. I'll tell the others and we'll come by after work."

"That's fine Sam."

"Take care of them."

"I will."

Callen hung up the phone and called Joelle's parents. They couldn't believe that Callen and Joelle had twins either. They would come by later too. Callen called Joelle's sister and brother too before going back into the room. Joelle had fallen asleep. Callen sat next to the bed on the chair and just looked at his two babies. They were so freaking adorable. Callen was totally in love with them already. They were just perfect and he loved their mommy more than anything. He finally had a family of his own now, a perfect little family.

About thirty minutes later Joelle woke up when Nora had decided to start crying.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Callen asked as he tried to calm her down but nothing was working.

"It think she's hungry G."

"You're hungry little girl? How about we go see mommy for some milk then?"

Callen handed her to Joelle. Joelle exposed her breast and Nora immediately latched on.

"There's a good girl," Joelle spoke to her. "G, could you grab a bib from the bag please?"

Callen grabbed a bib and handed it to Joelle. "She's a hungry little girl."

"Yes she is."

Callen grabbed the camera and took a picture of Joelle feeding Nora. As Joelle was feeding Nora Jack decided to start crying too. Callen moved to pick him up.

"It's okay buddy. Guess you're hungry too huh. But mommy is just feeding your sister so you'll just have to wait a little. Shhhh. It's okay buddy."

Callen tried to calm him down but it wasn't really working.

"Here G, why don't you take Nora so I can feed Jack," Joelle spoke once she was done feeding Nora. Callen handed Jack to Joelle and took Nora from her. "You need to burp her G."

"Uh…. Uhm…"

"Just put her on your chest with her head over your shoulder and gently rub and pad her back."

Callen did as Joelle told him. This was all so new to him but he was doing okay in his eyes. Callen sat down on the chair once Nora had burped. Callen grabbed the camera as he was holding Nora and took a picture of Joelle feeding Jack as well.

In the evening visiting hours Joelle's parents were the first to drop by.

"Hey you," Joelle's mother, Ellen, spoke as she walked into the room. "Congratulations sweetie."

"Thank you mom."

"Congratulations Greg."

"Thank you."

Joelle's father, Luke, congratulated them too.

"Wow twins, I didn't know you were having twins," Ellen said.

"We didn't either. The little girl was playing hide and seek so the doctor didn't see her."

"Oh was she now?" Ellen stood over their cribs. "They are so adorable. What are their names?"

"The little girl is named Nora Amelia and the little boy is named Jack Lucas."

"Aww cute names."

"You gave the boy the middle name of his grandpa?" Luke replied touched.

"Yes we did dad. We thought that would be nice."

"Thank you sweetie."

"You're welcome dad."

"And Amelia? Is that your mother Greg?" Ellen asked.

"No she was my sister. She died when we were young."

"I'm so sorry. They are so cute. I'm so happy for you two."

"Thanks mom," Joelle said.

"We brought you a little something," Ellen spoke as she handed Joelle two packages.

"Thank you mom."

"May I pick her up?"

"Of course mom."

Ellen picked Nora up and Luke picked Jack up. Callen took some pictures of his kids being held by their grandparents as Joelle opened the packages. In the first package was a navy blue dress with pink floral print, a pink cardigan and a navy blue diaper coverer and pink slippers.

"Aww, this is so cute. Thank you. Look at that G."

"Aww, she'll look so cute in that."

In the other package was a grey and white stripped overalls with Mickey Mouse on it and a blue short sleeved t-shirt under it.

"Thank mom and dad. These are so cute."

A little later Callen's team and Joelle's brother and sister arrived as well. From Sam they got a red shirt with Mickey Mouse on it with a pair of black shorts, a white bodysuit with blue ends with dogs on it and a pair of blue joggers, a blue bodysuit with monkeys on it and a pair of dark blue joggers and a pack of three navy nautical socks for Jack and for Nora a dark pink bodysuit with daisies and a pair of light pink joggers, a white bodysuit with pink ends and pink hearts on it with a dark pink pair of joggers, a pack with three pink navy nautical socks and a red chiffon tiered tunic with white hearts on it and white leggings. From Kensi and Deeks they got a white dress with multi colored butterflies on it with a pink cardigan and in the same print a sun hat and pink butterfly sandals for Nora, for Jack they got a white, blue, grey and dark blue plaid shirt with plaid cuff jeans and grey crib sneakers. From Nell and Eric they got grey pajamas with red ends with Mickey Mouse on it, white pajamas with blue ends and stars and moons on it and a navy blue sunhat for Jack, for Nora they got a blue denim sunhat with bow on it, light pink pajamas with dark pink ends and Minnie Mouse on it and white pajamas with pink dots and pink ends with Winnie the Pooh and Piglet on it and Sweet & cuddly.

"Thank you guys for everything," Callen said. "I'm sure the kids will love it."

"I still can't believe you have twins G," Sam replied.

"Yeah I know, me neither. But look at them, they are so cute."

"That they are. I told you this would be magical," Sam replied and squeezed his partner's shoulder.

"Yeah, it really is. I love them so much already."

Everyone got a chance to hold Jack and Nora. They didn't mind at all. They were content as long as they were being held. Once the visiting hours were over everyone went back home. Joelle fed both babies before Callen placed them in their cribs. They were peacefully sucking on their pacifiers and they soon fell asleep. Callen sat next to Joelle on the bed and they looked at their little babies sleeping. They were so cute and adorable. They could look at them forever. They were so in love with them already. Callen now had a little family of his own. He would do everything he could to protect them and give them a good home. He just hoped he would be a good daddy and that they wouldn't get hurt.
