Prompt #24:Baby shower for the twins.

The day had come. Through the years they had had many surprise moments but this the only pregnancy they had actually chosen to not find sexes about. First time they had been excited to know as this time they were excited to have kept the two secrets. Tonight they were to find out the sexes and Lexie and Carter the fact that there were two babies. Throughout the months she had had to face several double injections,catap,cures over cures and extra ultrasounds to make sure the kids were fine,and at the end of the day,it had worked out. At 7 months she's already so fat she couldn't see her feet anymore,and both the kids were pretty active. Apparently,just like their big sister,they were true kickers.

Rounded up all the family and friends they were sitting side by side on the couch,with butterflies in the stomach,and seriously nervous. They felt pretty much like kids.

Tiny socks,and shoes. Onesies. Every kind of thing they were receiving. Their extended family truly knew how to hand out gifts. These two babies could've lived years with all those gifts hadn't it been for the fact that they would've grown out of them in a few months,so it was useless to hope for otherwise.

They set the boxes on the table couch,after having put all the other presents aside.

"You gave us so many gifts,and we're thankful,so now we'd like to give you one as well. "

"Carter,Lexie open those boxes up."

Lexie opened hers first. She was pretty excited to find out what the sex of the baby was. Her mothers had been all hush about it,and she wanted to find out if she was gonna have a sister to teach everything to and make her as mischevious as she was,or a brother who had to be either a responsible little copy of Carter,or as extravagant as Adam was. Only recently he had finally started dating again after years of traveling around for work. He was getting old,and he wanted to settle down. Everybody was happy. More grandkids for her moms,and nieces and nephews for her to play with in the house,and at family gatherings.

At first,when she opened,it didn't seem to be filled with anything,but under the bubblewrap she had liked to pop as a child,she found a blue onesie and an as blue ribbon.

A boy. It was a boy.

"It's a boy. Everybody,it's a boy"

"Woah well done Kara"boomed Winn with a laughter of happiness. There were rounds of congrats to the mothers and siblings,and even Carter's daughter cooed,probably affected by the shared surprise.

"How come this box?"questioned Carter.

Everybody's attention was caught by the man's voice and their focus returned on the second box still sitting on the couch table.

"Yeah what about that?"added J'onn.

"Don't hide things from me Danvers,how many rascals are we welcoming?". Between all of them,Hank was the first to have the feeling that they were dealing with more than one kid. Kara had a way to surprise him suddenly. Her liveliness and sense of surprise were two of the reasons why he had risked white hair,even if he was a martian and he doubted he would've gotten them,ever.

What he fell didn't fall on deaf ears,as Carter picke it up and opened up the second box quickly,before lifting up in his hands,a pink onesie,with a ribbon of the same colour close to it.

"It..there's two. We're having twins?"

The two women smiled at his gleeful face. Even being not so much of a child anymore he could still get as excited as one.

"Honey,they're having two."he added,kissing his wife.

He stood up and nudged his daughter for a bit.

"You're having an uncle and an auntie,baby. What do you say?Twice the fun"

Many of them were left there speechless,some talking animatedly about it. Hank was still counting on how to deal with two other grandkids,whereas Adam stood up,and went to them.

"Mom,Kara,congrats about the rascals"

"Oh c'mon Adam. They're two very good kids. They're never too mischevious"said Kara.

"Tell me again,when we'll have to wake up at two in the morning because they're crying"

None of them could avoid laughing at that.


At night,in their room,they spent hours going about the party. They were glad the surprise had worked out.

"You're fine. Are you sure?"

"I'm okay"

"Everytime you say it,something happens,Kara…"

"Yeah"her wife sounded pretty worried.

"Kara,are you okay for real?"

"I don't know."

Cat bolted into the bathroom,thinking something was very wrong.

"It hurts. It's too soon Cat."

They needed to hear from the d soon,and go to the h and do many things. If this was the moment,and it was still too soon,they needed to be ready. Cat remembered how they had been warned about the possibility of Kara going into labor early,for reasons which also went beyond her health conditions. Nothing was to happen to those kids.
