"We're having what?"
"Twins. We're having twins, Cutler!" I said, excitedly. I half-expected him to faint again, but he surprised me.
"We're having twins, Heather!" He was grinning from ear-to-ear.
"Yeah, I know! You're happy about this?"
"Yes, of course! Aren't you?"
"Yes, yes, I'm totally excited! But, just when you found out that we were having ONE baby, you fainted, but now that you find out that we're having two, you're practically jumping up and down in your seat!"
"Well," He said, leaning over and giving my belly two kisses, "having twins means double the kisses, double the 'I love you's', and double the fun!"
I grinned. "I never really thought of it that way. Oh! This calls for a celebration!" I said, patting the lump in me that the twins made.
"Yes…" Cutler thought for a moment. "How about a ball?"
I smiled instantly. "That's a great idea, sweetie! We'll hold a ball, tomorrow night!"
"It will be done just as you like it, my sweet."
We gave each other a little peck. "I'll be right back," Cutler said, excusing himself, and leaving me for a second. He returned, holding two pieces of fine china, one filled with punch, the other with champagne. He gave me the one with punch in it, and kept the other for himself.
He raised his glass, and said, "To our children. May they always be safe." My glass clanged against his, and then we drank. I suddenly had a deep lust for him.
We stood up, breast to breast, and kissed. I gladly welcomed his tongue into my mouth, and he welcomed my tongue into his. As his hand caressed my hair, and the other my lower back; my hand caressed his lower back, and the other his bum.
After a minute or two, we heard a knock on the door. We broke apart, and Cutler said to the person waiting outside the door, "Just a second."
We stood there, still hugging each other. "Remember Cutler, the fact that we're expecting twins is our secret until tomorrow. Dr.Keybirth said that she would keep the secret also. And, when you get home tonight, we'll celebrate more when we're in bed."
"Okay," Cutler said to me, with a hint of lust in his voice as we broke apart. Then, he turned to the doorway, and said, "Come in." A young army man entered, and stood there, looking shy.
"I was just saying good-bye to my wife and child," Cutler said. The army man nodded, and minded his own business.
Cutler and I said our good-byes, and then Cutler bent down. "bye-bye, in there!" he said, kissing and rubbing my stomach with both hands. Both of the babies kicked his hands, and I laughed. "We'll see you tonight, sweetie!" I told him, walking out the door.
