"I'm nervous, Spence", Heather said, walking into the office.

"You'll be fine", Reid said. "We're just checking to see the progress. But", he said turning to her. "We do need to make a decision."

"Oh?" Heather said.

"Do we want to know the sex?" Reid asked. "Or do we want to be surprised?"

"Hmmm", Heather said, as they signed the register. "I'm not sure. On one hand, it would be nice to be prepared. But then, there are so few surprises in the world."

"How about we make a friendly wager?" Reid said, with a devilish look in his eye.

"Now you're talking", Heather said. "I'm thinking girl."

"And I say the probability is that we're having a boy. So, let's let Rossi be the answer holder for us."

"Deal", Heather said, shaking his hand. He pulled her close to him and kissed her deeply.

"I can't wait to get you home", Reid said, looking in her eyes.

"Ditto", she said. Reid and Heather had always been charged, but lately it seemed as if they lived to be together.

"Mrs. Reid?" the nurse called.

The Reid's got up and followed the nurse to back office. She stopped and took Heather's weight.

"I can't look", Heather said, turning her head.

"That can't be right", the nurse said.

"I'm a whale, I know", Heather said with a slight chuckle.

"No", the nurse said. "You've lost 15 pounds since we've seen you last."

"Really?" Heather said. "Is that a bad thing?"

"It can be if you lose too much. I'll note it in your chart." The nurse wrote down weight and they went in to the room.

Dr. Blake knocked and came in.

"Hi you two", Dr. Blake said. "Are we ready to see what we're having?"

"Yes and no", Reid said. We've decided we're not going to look at the ultrasound. But, if you could, would you email the results to this email address?" Reid gave Dr. Blake a piece of paper with Rossi's address on it.

"All results?" Dr. Blake said.

"Yes. We want to be surprised", Heather said.

Dr. Blake did the ultra sound and started to talk about the results.

"I took a look at your chart and I don't think you need to worry. The weight loss is not significant enough for me to take a deeper look. My guess is that you're following your diet plan…"

"To a 'T' Doc", Heather said laughing and giving Reid a side look. "He's in charge of food now."

"Good", Dr. Blake said. "I see nothing wrong. The ultrasound looks good and in a few short weeks…"

"…weeks?" Heather said. "Last I checked this is only month 5! I'm behind Tia by 3, right, Spence?"

"Let's see. She was 5 months when you found out your were 2 and a half, so yeah, about 3 months behind."

"Hmm", Dr. Blake said. "I want to do an amniocentesis", Dr. Blake said. "Lie back for me."

"Spence?" Heather said as she lay back.

"It's OK", Reid said. "This is just to check that the baby is advancing normally and correctly."

"What he said", Dr. Blake said. The nurse came in and took the fluid from the placenta with a long needle.

"It's quicker than it used to be", Dr. Blake said. "Give me about 20 minutes or so. Go ahead a get dressed, Heather. Hang out in here if you like."

Dr. Blake left out and Reid helped Heather get dressed.

"I'm scared", Heather said.

"It's OK", Reid said hugging her. "There's nothing to worry about. He's just checking all avenues."

About 25 minutes later Dr. Blake returned.

"Nothing", he said, reading the chart. "Nothing's wrong. You are having a very healthy…"

"Wait!" Heather and Reid said together.

"Oops, sorry", Dr. Blake said, chuckling. "I can tell you this. We made a mistake in your timing."

"Oh?" Reid said.

"When we did her blood analysis about 3 months ago, we estimated that you were about 2 ½ months in to your pregnancy. My amniocentesis shows you're much further along."

"How much?" Heather said.

"Now don't take this wrongly, but because you're a fuller figured woman, you didn't show much. So, you're actually about 7 months along."

"I thought I felt the baby kick earlier this week!" Heather said excitedly.

"I didn't' believe her; I thought it was too early", Reid said.

"Wait, that means…" Heather started.

"You and Tia just might deliver together", Reid finished.

"Wait, Tia. Tia Hotchner?" Dr. Blake said.

"Yep. She's my cousin", Heather said.

"Then Dr. Reid is right, you guys are running neck and neck", Dr. Blake said. "I had the nurse email the results to the address you provided. I want to see you in two weeks, young lady", Dr. Blake said.

Rossi sat in his office at his desk when the beep came in on his email.

"What the…?" Rossi said to himself as he read the report. "Oh now this is interesting", he said aloud. He texted Reid.

Rossi: Is this a secret?

Reid: From us, yes.

Rossi: All of it?

Reid: The sex, yes. Is there something else on there?

Rossi: Maybe…

Reid: Should we be worried?

Rossi: Not in the least.

Reid: Thank you, Gate Keeper. LOL

Rossi: My pleasure.

Rossi walked around his office. Hotch saw him pacing and walked in.

"Everything OK Dave?" Hotch said.

"Yeah", Rossi replied. "I just got an email from Heather's doctor. The kids want me to know the sex of the baby. They want to be surprised."

"Well that sounds OK", Hotch said. "Wait, what aren't you saving?"

"That's not the only surprise", Rossi said. "They kids don't know, but they're having twins!"

"Whoa", Hotch said. "So how we do this? They might need to know, you know. They're going to need two of everything. Wait, when is the baby shower again?"

"Sunday", Rossi said. "Kitten is doing it in the downstairs conference room on the first floor."

"So what if we tell everybody they get two of everything…" Hotch started.

"…and we surprise them with the news! I like it Aaron, it like it a lot."

"Adonis!" Garcia screamed from the front yard.

"You bellowed?" he said laughing as he joined her in the yard. Morgan looked around in surprise. "Where's all of our stuff?"

"Gone!" she said, smiling. "We sold it all!"

"In one day?" Morgan said.

"Well, when you put it out there on Facebook, Craigslist, Instagram, etc…" Garcia said. "We made a nice amount, too!"

"Oh?" he said, peeking in the lock box. "Can we afford a nice dinner?"

"Oh Sugar", Garcia said, pulling out the money. "We can take the team to dinner!"

Morgan looked at the stacks of money with bulging eyes. "Just how much did we make?"

"Nine hundred and fifty dollars and", she counted the change, "sixty-seven cents."

"Wow!" Morgan said. "What should we do with it?" Garcia got a text from Rossi.

"I have an idea", she said grinning and showing Morgan the text.

"Well alright, Pret-ty Boy!" he said. "Ok, let's go shopping!"

Tia jingled her keys at the door when Hotch opened the door for her.

"Thanks, Handsome", she said as she waddled/walked through the door.

"Seven and half months looks good on you", Hotch said.

"I wish it were nine" she said. "I happy to carrying our baby, but…"

"You're tired of being of pregnant…" Hotch said with a chuckle. "I'm sorry Sweetie", Hotch said when she gave him the evil eye. "I have some good news though."

"Oh?" she said, heading in the kitchen and pulling out the spaghetti pot.

"Guess who's having twins?!" Hotch said. He heard the pot fall and ran into the kitchen. Tia was slumped over the counter.

"Tia?" Hotch said with concern. He saw the look of sheer shock on her face and laughed. "Baby, it's not us."

Tia started breathing normally, clutching her heart. She grabbed the pot holder and smacked Hotch with it.

"You do not scare a pregnant woman like that!" she said. "Wait, if it's not us…"

"Yep!" Hotch said.

"I gotta call my cousin", she said reaching for her phone.

"No, you can't!" Hotch said, grabbing her cell. "They don't know."

"Say what?" Tia said.

Hotch explained that Rossi was secret keeper and they didn't want to know the sex, but that inadvertently the doctor also thought they wanted the news of having twins kept secret too.

"Oh this is so good!" Tia said.

"I know. I told JJ and Will about doubling everything and they're on board too."

"So Sunday we let the cat out the bag?" Tia said, trying to pick up the pot with no luck.

"Yeah, Sunday", Hotch said, shaking his head at her. "What's say we go out to dinner?"

Tia looked up at him with thankful eyes. "I love you so much", she said.

"Me too", Hotch said, kissing her. "Come on, let's get Jack and go."

Sunday came and the ladies sat in the middle of the garden surrounded by piles of gifts.

"Now how are supposed to get these home?" Reid asked, laughing.

"Don't worry", Morgan said. "My SUV is at your disposal."

"My hero", Heather said.

Tia opened all her gifts and everyone oohed and aahed.

"Is it my turn?" Heather asked.

"Absolutely", Rossi said.

"Is it me, or are her boxes really big?" Reid said.

"Maybe", Rossi said.

Heather opened the first box and took out a baby swing.

"Oh how cute!" Garcia said.

Heather opened the second and it was another baby swing in a different pattern.

"Oh, we got two", Heather said.

"Maybe you need two", JJ said with a snicker.

"Oh Kay", Heather said laughing.

Reid helped her open the big box and it was two identical car seats.

"OK guys, what going on?" Reid said, when he looked at the last gift. He looked over at Heather and she looked at him quizzically.

"Well", Will said in his drawl, "it's looks like y'all got two of everything."

"Nice deduction, Detective", JJ said.

"But why?" Heather said. "It's just one…" she gasped.

"It's twins!" Reid and Heather said together in awe. Reid sank into the chair nearest to Heather.
