"First official doctor's appointment at one." Alice reminded Tracy over breakfast. Tracy smiled and leaned over, kissing her.

"This is to confirm you are pregnant right?" asked Brook Lyn.

"Yes. Well, that and to get prenatal vitamins and an official due date." Alice explained.

"Three tests and you need still need confirmation." Tracy laughed at Alice.

"Well, we did do other tests." Alice reminded her, with a twinkle in her eyes. Tracy smiled, and kissed Alice's forehead.

"Mmm. I remember. All positive, too. But it will good to have official confirmation."

Brook Lyn looked confused but decided not to ask.

"So I'll meet you there. " Tracy grabbed the paperwork she need. "Oh, Lion?"

"Yes?"

"Have I told you how much I love you, how sexy you are?"

"No, not since last night." Alice smiled.

"I do and you are. You're absolutely glowing."

"Tiger, you need to go to work. See you later."

Tracy kissed Alice one more time.

"Be good at school, Boroughs." Tracy kissed Brook Lyn's head.

"Be good at work." Brook Lyn returned cheekily.


"Hey." Tracy sat next to her brother in the cafeteria.

"What are you doing here?" Alan asked.

"My wife works for your wife, remember?" Tracy said.

"So you're meeting Alice?"

"First doctor's appointment." Tracy smiled. "I'm going to be a mom at age, God, 58."

"An absolutely ravishingly 58. If I could throw you on a table and have my way with you, I would. But we are at the hospital so…" Alice shrugged as she and Monica joined the table.

"So we can only have sex at my workplace?" Tracy asked. "That doesn't seem fair."

Alan's and Monica's jaws dropped.

"ELQ? You had sex at ELQ?!" Monica asked.

"We wanted to be creative and well, it was the right time and Tracy was working late…" Alice smiled at the memory. "Do you realize, for all the New York references, it might've happen there?"

Tracy thought back. "Wow. You're right. It was the same cycle. Huh." Her eyes took on a daze look.

"Talk about getting a head start in the family business." Alan said. "Although I wouldn't say that to Father."

"Oh!" Tracy slapped his arm. "It doesn't matter since Alice's pregnant anyway."

"Wait a second. I'm intrigued. Aren't you intrigued?" Monica asked Alan.

"On one level. Another level very gross out."
"On that note, shall we?" Alice asked standing up. Tracy just stared at her. "Tracy, stop it."

"You're just glowing."

"She does this now," Alice explained, rolling her eyes, "She likes to bask in the glow of what was it?"

"You and my future golden child." Tracy said.

"Yes. Well, your future golden child and I are going to the doctor's appointment. To continue basking you need to follow us there." Alice left. Tracy followed her.

"Like a puppy dog." Alan snickered. Monica looked at him, with her eyebrows raised.

"I used to have a puppy dog like that." She said.

"Woof?" Alan said, making puppy dog eyes.

"Ah, there he is now…." Monica smiled, sitting in his lap.


Karen Wexler walked into room looking at the chart. "Alice Gunderson-Quartermaine? I'm Dr. Wexler."

"Yes, Alan recommended you."

"Quartermaine? You're related to Alan?" Karen rechecked blood pressure and pulse.

"Through her." Alice pointed out Tracy.

"Tracy." Tracy stood up. "So is everything ok with her blood pressure? Because we've been having some problems with our family and planning the wedding…"

"Tracy, should the doctor take your blood pressure?" Alice asked.

"Her blood pressure is fine. Is this your first pregnancy?" Karen continued.

"Yes. I know there was a questionnaire I sent in. Wasn't this on that?"

"Just want to double check." Karen smiled. "I eventually need to get the father's medical history, if it's available."

"I think that can be arranged." Tracy smiled at Alice.

"O.k. Lean back. How many weeks have your cycle been late?"

"Three weeks. Which is right on target. I guess we really do love New York." Alice laughed.

"Ah, some people really do. My sister's best friend is named Brook Lyn, believe it or not. It's almost cruel. "

"Brook Lyn? Is your sister Serena?" Tracy asked.

"Yeah."

"Brook's my granddaughter."

"Oh." Karen's face paled.

"We called her Boroughs." Alice laughed. "She actually likes it."

"Everything seems normal. Given your age and body type, I want to check on the baby. " Karen positioned Alice on the table. "So, a wedding? Sounds fun."

"It's a pain to plan. We just want to keep everything simple. Oh, that's cold!" Alice shivered.

"Ah, here we go. A good strong heartbeat and oh…I see two sacs."

"Two?" Tracy asked.

"Two. Twins, fraternal. Let check the heartbeat…good." Karen smiled

"Two?" Tracy got pale.

"Honey?" Alice glanced at Tracy.

"I don't feel good." Tracy said as she passed out.

"So, that's the alpha bitch of the Quartermaines does when the going gets tough." Alice muttered.

"I hope she's better in the delivery room." Karen said.

"Honey? Wake up."

"What happened?" Tracy sat up.

"You fainted." Karen said. "I've had it happen before."

"I thought she said we were going to have twins. Isn't that silly?"

Alice smiled.

"Oh….no, no, no. This was not part of the plan. Two?!" Tracy stared at the monitor.

"Two, Tiger. Look at this way. They will have someone to fight with built in." Alice pointed out. Tracy laughed and touched the monitor.

"It makes so real." She felt a tear rolled down her cheek. "I'm not getting soft."

"Of course not." Alice agreed.

"Your due date should be around the twelve of December. An early gift." Karen printed a photo. "You should be all set."

Alice glanced at the photo, a wicked idea coming.

"Let's not tell them about the twins." She said.

"Really?" Tracy arched an eyebrow.

"So much about this pregnancy is known to Brook, Alan or Monica. Let's keep this between us."

"Hmm…o.k. You are doing the heavy lifting." Tracy said. "Could we get a photo of just one of the babies?"

"Sure. Baby a all right?"

Alice smiled. "Baby A is fine."

"Tracy, are you all right? You've been quiet since the doctor's." Alice glanced at her wife.

"This will be harder on you. I'm just worried about you and the cubs." Tracy sighed.

"You heard the doctor everyone is fine. I'm right on schedule." Alice brushed Tracy's hair out of her face.

Tracy leaned up and looked at Alice. "My love. My beautiful love."

Alice kissed Tracy gently. "Everything is going to fine. We are having twins. I'll stay with you."

"Twins. Two babies. Can you imagine two little ones?"

"Well, with Alan and I, the babies won't be little." Alice pointed out.

Tracy chuckled. "Do you want to shop for the wedding after work? I could pick up Brook and you and Monica could meet us there."

"I suppose the date should be move up. I'll be showing sooner." Alice's hand moved down to her stomach.

"I want to just be married."

"We'll be married. It's the tenth of May. Why not the first of June?" Alice suggested.

"Perfect." Tracy kissed Alice. "Two?"

"Two."

"Well, I suppose it will be all right." Tracy smiled.

"Well, if you suppose…" Alice kissed Tracy slowly.


"Don't pout." Tracy said sternly.

"I don't want to wear a dress." Brook Lyn whined.

"Do you trust me?"

"Is that a trick question?" Monica wondered out loud.

"Yes." Brook Lyn said.

"Then we'll find something appropriate and comfortable." Tracy sighed. "Honestly, if the new ones….ouch! Alice!"

"You were going to say something you didn't want to say." Alice said, taking her foot off of Tracy's.

"I was?"

"Yes. Look why don't you and Brook shop and I'll go with Monica ok?"

"O.k. but I need to shop without Brook." Tracy gave Alice a look.

"Really?" Alice smiled, realizing exactly what Tracy was thinking, her hands automatically reaching for Tracy.

"Why without the granddaughter?" Brook Lyn asked.

"Does the granddaughter want to look at sexy lingerie for the wedding night?"

"Um, the granddaughter prefers to think her grandmother is asexual."

"Well, I think we'll start will the dresses. We agreed on blue, right?"

"Yeah." Alice got a weird feeling in her stomach.

"What's wrong?" Tracy asked.

"I just felt something."

Monica looked surprised. "It's early."

"Probably just gas." Alice said. "But probably a good thing we'll getting married soon."

"Yes. " Tracy smirked "At least I don't have to face your parents."

"Can we move on?" Brook just wanted to get this over with.

"No." Tracy said, looking at the ninth dress her granddaughter held up.

"Oh, this is so much better than the last three you pick." Brook Lyn argued.

Monica and Alice exchanged looks.

"We should've split up." Monica sighed.

"At least we got your dress."

Brook got a stubborn look on her face.

"Oh, wow." Monica stared. "She looks so much like…"

"I know." Alice nodded.

"How do you deal with two of them?"

"A lot of patience. Infinite amount of patient."

Tracy sighed. "Monica you've dealt with teenage girls before in this area. Deal with her."

"Brook Lyn, just not too much skin and ….just use common sense." Alice sighed.


Alice and Tracy slipped away to the lingerie store. They paused, glanced inside and slipped in.

"So something to lounge about in. And something fun to rip off." Tracy reached over and brushed Alice's hair off her face.

Alice bit her lip. "I don't know. Size…"

"We can find something. If not, maybe massage oil and…oooh there's edible body paint." Tracy grinned at Alice.

"Can I help you?" A salesperson asked.

"We need something for a special occasion." Tracy said

"Oh? Both of you?"

"Yes." Alice looked at the salesperson, drawing up to her 6'1 height.

"Right this way." The salesperson left soon afterwards.

"I love when you do that. Intimidation turns me on so much." Tracy whispered.

"Be good."

"I am." Tracy protested. Alice relaxed, and then felt a pinch. Tracy looked innocently at Alice.

"Please tell me that was you."

"I'm being good." Tracy flipped through the clothes. "Oh! Look at this."

"Honey, that won't cover a fourth of me." Alice blushed.

"I could paint the rest."

Alice sighed.


"So, steal any cars lately?" Monica asked Brook.

"No. Look, can I ask you something?" Brook Lyn asked.

"Sure."

"Is Alice, I mean, she's getting old,"

"Alice is of the older side of motherhood. But she wrestles, eats well, and keeps stress down, well, considering whom she's married to, she should be fine." Monica smiled. "Look if Alice had a problem being pregnant, she wouldn't be."

"Then why aren't they telling people officially?"

"They will. Probably after the wedding. "Monica paused. "Your uncle Dillon…he might have problems. Alice is protective of Tracy, and Dillon didn't share his mom. A new baby is a big change at any age but for a couple like Alice and Tracy, it's scary."

"Because of the lesbian thing?" Brook Lyn asked.

"Yes but more so they haven't been together for long, the age thing, Tracy's health and our family." Monica sighed.

"So why are they having a kid now?"

Monica looked at her grandniece. "I think you had something to do with it. They enjoyed you so much and Tracy doesn't feel like she will mess you up too bad. "


"Tracy, it's ridiculous to spend this much money on clothes we won't wear for more than five minutes. " Alice pointed out.

"We need something to slip into after the wedding and before the wedding night ends. Besides I like the feel of you in satin."

Alice smiled. It was a nice picture, them in a hotel room sipping cider, talking, or just being alone.

"I will agree to a nightgown. But it has to covers me." Alice heist anted. "It's just..."

"I love you. I love your mind, your wit, the fact you don't want to kill my family most days. But your body drives me crazy." Tracy let her eyes roamed. "Um, why don't we surprise each other? We still have an hour until we need to meet up."

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Alice asked.

"Um, I need to get some water. " Tracy's face was turning red.

"Honey are you ok?"

"I'm incredibly horny, you little minx. Unless you are planning on taking me in the dressing room, I need a break." Tracy bit her lip.

"Ok. " Alice smirked. "Meet up at the dress shop with Monica and Brook."

"Of course." Tracy groaned as Alice walked away, swinging her hips.
