John was currently waiting in the doctor's office for Lita. She had an appointment with the doctor today and like usual, he was also going to be there but they went in separate cars since they were both coming from work and he was there before she was. He called her twenty minutes ago to see where she was but she said she got held up at work a bit and was making her way.

That was twenty minutes ago so he decided to call her again. "At the most, five more minutes." He heard the red-head on he other end.

"I signed in for you."

She smirked, "So you have the equipment to get checked up?"

"Haha. Very funny."

"I thought so." She made a right turn heading in the parking lot of the doctor's office. "Be patient. I'm in parking now and we're probably still going to wait a while longer." She unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. "I'm hanging up on you. I'm right outside." It took a couple of minutes for her to make it to where Dr. Moretti's office was located when she actually got into the building.

"Nice of you to join me." John said when he saw Lita sit next to him.

She rolled her eyes snatching the magazine from his hands. "Ugh. Do guys think about more than just cars?"

He took the magazine back from her. "Sports, food, and other things you don't want to hear about."

She glared at him for his response. "Yea. I don't. So shut up."

"You're more mean than usual. What's wrong?"

"No I'm not. Shut up."

"Something happen at work?"

"No. Shut up."

"Then what happened."

She groaned kicking him I'm his leg. "I told you to shut up."

"First, don't kick me again," he said rubbing his leg, "Just because you told me to shut up I have to?"

"Duh. Now shut up."

"I don't like you right now."

"Guess what? I don't care."

"Someone is pissy today."

"Someone is annoying today."

Whatever he was about to say was interrupted when the receptionist called out for Lita and told her that Dr. Moretti would see her now. She looked over at John, "Let's go annoying."

"Okay pissy," he replied following her.

"Everything is fine. Everything is progressing well. You're 25 weeks along. Your weight is where it should be around this time so that's good. Heartbeat is perfect as you two heard. You have to start coming to the doctors twice a month when you hit 28 weeks," Dr. Moretti said as she told the two about the check up. She glanced between the two before speaking again. "So, would you like to know the sex of the babies?"

The parents to be just looked at one another. They never really discussed whether or not they would like to know the sex of the babies. Lita was the first to speak up. "I want to be surprised." John was about to say something but she said something before he did. "Wait. No. I want to know. Actually no don't tell me. Wait I do want to know. No I don't. I don't know."

"Indecisive," John muttered.

"Shut up. Do you want to know?" Lita asked.

"If one of us knows, the other is gonna find out. If you don't wanna know yet, I'm fine with that."

"But do you want to know?" she asked once again. He simply shrugged to which she rolled her eyes. "You're annoying." She took a minute or so to think it over. "No. I don't want to know."

"Okay if you're sure. You can ask me another time if you change your mind, your next appointment will be in roughly three weeks" Dr. Moretti responded. She was used to the reaction Lita gave when she asked parents to be if they wanted to know the gender.

"Okay... Wait. I want to know." She heard John mumble something but couldn't figure out what he said but she knew it was probably a smart-ass remark. "Shut up John." She returned her attention to the doctor. "I want to know. I mean, I'm probably going to ask you next appointment and keep thinking about it beforehand. Or call you and bother you and I don't think you'll appreciate that. So just tell me please." Dr. Moretti was about to tell the two about the sex of their babies before Lita once again decided she had something to say. "Wait."

"You are the most indecisive person I know."

"Again. Shut up. Do you want to know or not? I mean, if you don't want to-"

John didn't let her finish her question, "I already told you it doesn't matter either way. So whatever."

"Is it okay if I tell you now?" Dr. Moretti waited for the two, mainly the red-head for them to say something or to gesture for her to continue. She did just that when the pregnant woman nodded. "Okay. Well..."

"Honey. I'm home!" Lita sang when she entered the house she shared with Trish.

"It's about time," came the response, "where the hell have you been? I've been waiting for you."

Lita rolled her eyes as she entered the living room and saw who was there. "I wasn't aware you were coming today."

"Yea well here I am. I've been waiting for a while."

"Calm down Davey-"

"Don't call me that."

"-I'm here now. What do you want?" She said taking a seat next to her brother who was alone in the room. "Where's Trishy? Did Vicki come too?"

"I can't come to see my sister whenever I want? They're somewhere around here."

"Of course you can. But you usually have an ulterior motive."

He shrugged. "Not this time."

"Okay."

"So why did you take forever?"

"I was at the doctors then John and I decided to grab a bite to eat and we just hung out and now I'm here."

"Your appointment was at three. It's seven. It really took you four hours?"

"Looks like it."

"So, you okay? Babies okay."

She started smiling. "Yes. Everything is perfect."

Dave raised a brow. "Why are you smiling like that?"

"Because I'm happy. Duh. Would you rather me be upset? Would it make you feel better if I cried or something?"

He sighed rolling his eyes. "Of course not. You just look more happy than usual. What's up with that?"

"Funny because John seems to think I was pissy today. Anyways, we found out the sex of the babies!" She beamed but continued after she saw Dave was going to ask the sex. "Wait for Trish and Victoria and then I'll tell you together."

"You can just tell me now and them later."

"I could but I don't want too." She knew Dave was getting annoyed with her but she didn't care. She liked bothering him, she felt it was her duty as the younger sister to bother him whenever she could.

"Where you been man?" Randy asked when he saw his roommate enter the apartment.

"Appointment today."

"Late?"

"It was at three but me and Li kinda hung out afterwards." He saw the smirk forming on Randy's face. "What?"

"Nothing," Randy said with the smirk still present on his face.

"Obviously not nothing."

"Forget it. You don't wanna hear it. Anyways. So are you really ready for this? In a couple of months you're gonna be a father. Thankfully they'll have a mother like Li to balance out how unfortunate it'll be to have you as a father."

John flipped his finger at him. "Yea I think I'm ready as I can be."

"You scared?"

"Duh," John admitted, "I think every first time parent is scared or worried but I think it'll be fine."

"Don't screw up."

"What?" John asked in confusion.

"With the babies... And Li."

"What do you mean?" John asked still confused.

"Don't back out when things get hard and I say when because they will get tough especially since you and Li aren't doing this under normal circumstances. It could get tough for you two and possibly be rough for your friendship."

"I'm not going to back out when things get hard. I have thought about this before. I knew what I was getting myself into when I agreed."

"No you didn't," Randy muttered. He kind of knew about Lita's crush on John. He knew she liked him more than him just being one of her closest friends a couple of years ago but he didn't know where her crush on him stood now. But Lita never confirmed it to him but she, along with Trish, knew that Randy knew about her feelings for John a couple years ago even though the three never talked about it. However, Randy didn't know whether or not she liked him more than a friend right now or not, he knew about that one time but then when Christian got into the picture, he wasn't so sure where she stood now or even after that a couple of years ago. So he really didn't know they were reoccuring at times, he just knew for sure about that one time but he had a feeling she may like John more than a friend now too. He just hoped if she did something about it with her emotions being all screwed up at times it wouldn't ruin John and Lita's friendship.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. Anyways. How are the babies?"

John started smiling just like Lita did when Dave asked her the same thing forgetting what Randy was just talking about. "We found out the sex."

"Really? You can already find out?"

"Yea, she's almost six months so it's easy for the doctor to find that out now."

"So tell me. I want to know."

"Hello?" John answered the phone groggily later that night. He looked over at the clock to see what time it was. Two in the morning. Who could be calling him that late?

"John."

"Li?" He said when he heard and identified the voice. "Is everything okay?'

"I'm scared," came the reply.

He sat up in bed semi-awake by the reply. "Why? What's wrong? What happened?"

She took a while to answer him. "Nothing. I shouldn't have called you right now. I'm sorry. You can go back to sleep."

"No," he stopped her, "Sleep can wait. What's wrong? Why are you scared? Did something happen?"

"It's all too real now."

"Li, you're gonna have to explain more and give more detail. It's two in the morning, you're gonna have to help me out here."

"Go to sleep. I'll call you tomorrow."

"No. Something is obviously bothering you which is why you called me. So, what seems all too real now?"

"The pregnancy. I mean, obviously I knew I had two babies inside of me but then when they started kicking it was like, this is real, this is going to happen and then today when we found out the sex it was more real and like, we're going to have babies in like a few months. Labor scares the crap out of me. What if I'm a bad mother? What if I do something wrong and screw up their life miserably? What if they hate me? Oh my God! I'm going to be responsible for two other lives!"

"Calm down. It's okay to be scared. I'm scared too."

"That's not helping."

"Li, every first time parent is scared and has the same questions like you do. It's normal." He heard nothing. "Do you need me to come over?"

"No."

"Li-"

"No, it's okay. I'l be fine."

"I can be there in like five minutes. Roads will be clear."

"No. I'm sorry I woke you up. You can go back to sleep."

"Only if you're okay. If you still need to talk, I will stay on the phone with you."

She smiled at that which John obviously couldn't see. "Thanks but I'll be fine. Thanks for actually picking up and listening to me."

"Of course. We're in this together. Don't forget that."

"Okay. You can go to sleep now. You sound tired. Good night."

"Good night. Tell my little boy and little girl daddy said good night."

Thanks for reading. Thanks for the reviews.
