CHAPTER 3

Two weeks later
Paul's POV:

Torrey and I lay on the couch snuggled up while our sons sat in front of the couch racing through the room and watching the Winnie the Pooh movie. I put on the Polish version, because I liked it when I could show my kids something of my heritage. Josiah speaks a bit Polish not fluent but quite good. Torrey speaks very good Polish and I'm very proud of both of them. It was hot today Torrey was wearing a super thin top which I partly removed so it exposed her bare stomach. She was only fourteen weeks pregnant but we researched some pictures from her previous pregnancies with Josh and Jer and we came to the conclusion she looked like almost 23 weeks on the way. I didn't mind I thought she looked always beautiful even when she was nine months pregnant. Torrey however was a little disappointed and scared, she said she was fat. But me saying she always looked beautiful pregnant and telling her that pregnant and fat are two very different words made her a bit more comfortable.

Torrey and I were laying on the couch together, my hand was slightly caressing her stomach. I kept rubbing while kissing the back of her head. Then Josh and Jer both came to the couch and Josh asked what I was doing. "I'm letting the babies know how much I love them" I said to them. "Can we do that too" they asked "sure you can" I said. Torrey turned around smirking at me and gave me a quick peck. She sat up in an easy position so both the boys and I could reach her belly. All four of us were rubbing and patting on it. I pulled Josiah and Jeremiah towards me and all three of us put a kiss on her belly at the same time. "Ah my boys are so sweet" Torrey squealed. "Do it again" she said while she took a picture of us. It was a very cute picture "let me see mommy" Josiah said, "yeah let us see mommy" I replied, "come here you kiddos" she replied and the three of snuggled up to her, me beside her Josh on the other side and Jer on my lap. "This one goes on twitter" she laughed devilish, I couldn't resist her and started to kiss her passionately on her lips. After a few seconds I heard Josiah scream "get a room". We broke our kiss off, "remember me" I said to Josh "that I never let you come near uncle Ian again". God I hated Ian for that. He freaking learned my kid to say that, now every time Torrey and I got cozy Josiah has something to say about it.

Torrey's POV:
I just posted the picture online when I was kissed by my lovely husband to hear a few seconds later my four year old shout his new found sentence learned by Ian of course. "He will get his payback later" I whispered to Paul "wait until Madison is old enough to talk he will get it all back". "I know" my hubby said. "Now Pawel get your behind of this couch and take your sons for their bath and dress them in some nice clothes". "I'll get myself in something presentable and then we can go". My doctor's appointment was in two hours. I had to go more often since I was expecting twins. And today we decided to take the boys with us.

"So guys" Paul said while driving the car into the hospital ground "are you exited to see your brothers or sisters?" "Can we actually see the babies" Josiah asked. "Can you remember when mummy had Jeremiah in her tummy" I said. "You got to see him inside me on the screen, you called him a little alien". "Oh yeah" he said " I remember, and now there are two aliens" he asked. "Nice move" Paul smiled at me "now were going to have aliens for the next six months". I smiled at him and took his hand. We walked inside hand in hand while Paul carried Jeremiah and Josiah held my hand. As we sat in the waiting room there came a teenage girl who was obviously very pregnant out of the waiting room, she was accompanied by her mother. She froze when she saw Paul sitting in the waiting room. She didn't know what to say but got the courage to ask for an autograph and a photo with Paul and me. "Of course sweetie" I heard Paul say "how are you doing" he asked "good" she said. We talked for a bit we asked how far a long she was and if she already knew what she was having she was having a baby boy and was going to name him Benjamin Thomas, "that's a beautiful name" we both replied. We asked her name, but got cut off cause the doctor came in and said he was ready for us.

"Hello" the doctor said "how are you feeling" he asked. "Alright" I replied "very tired but the sickness is mostly one". "I sleep a lot but keep getting tired". "Ok" he said "that is common but I will take some blood just to be sure". "Paul" I said "keep the kids occupied please so they won't see it", "you sure your alright babe" he asked. "Yes" I replied "take them outside for a little moment". He nodded and said "come on kids daddy has to pee", "me too" Josiah said "come Jer you're coming with us" he said. "Otay" the little boy wobbled behind his father and they went out of the room. "Ok let's do this" I said to the doctor, "alright look away" he said. "So the tiredness" he asked "on a scale from one to ten how is this one". "Nine" I replied "I sleep a lot or lay on the couch". "I'm so grateful that Paul is home a lot and that he takes the boys with him on trips because else I couldn't do this". " I'll get your blood exams and we'll discuss this when Paul's back, then we take an ultra sound". "Sounds good to me" I said.

Paul and the boys came in a few minutes later. "Hey baby" Paul said he walked up to me and asked if I was ok "yeah" I nodded. The doctor came in "hey boys are you ready to look at the babies" he asked them "yeah" they said. "Well first because you are such big boy's you can go in there and look for something to take home, the nurse will take you" he said. Then he came sit with Paul and me. He said: "you have not much iron in your blood that's what makes you tired, you need to eat more meat". "And I suggest a lot of rest no heavy stuff and at least a nap a day preferably two". "To say bed rest I find it too early but in a few weeks time you probably need that". I nodded and looked at Paul "how are we going to fix that". "It's going to be fine" he answered "we'll figure it out".
The boys came running back in both with a lollypop. "Can we eat them now" they asked, "no" Paul said "we'll go have dinner after we see the babies and after that you can have the lollypop". "Ok" Josiah said "but can I keep it myself" he asked "yes you can put it in your pocket".

The ultrasound was clearly showing two little creatures and in a few weeks time the doctor would be able to tell us the sex. "So" he asked "hoping for at least one girl now". I looked at Paul and he said "I really don't mind as long as everything goes well and everyone is healthy" I nodded. "I want boys" Josiah said "I bet you do" we said laughing at his blurry comment. "So how come you can look inside mummy with that thing" Josiah asked the doctor curiously. "Well" the doctor said "you can do that too, everyone can do this with this thing". "You can try if you want" the doctor said, "can I mommy" he asked "sure" I said. Josh took the ultrasound machine over from the doctor and moved it up and down my stomach, "got to take a picture of this" Paul said smiling. He tweeted the picture with the subscription; Josiah looking for mummy's Aliens .

Paul's POV:
Torrey and I lay on our bed after the doctors visit we had just put the boys in bed and decided to lay down ourselves as well. "What are we going to do?" Torrey asked me "I'm tired as hell all the time and the doctor told me to take it easy, that's impossible with two little kids". "It's going to be alright we'll make it work". "I'm going to look for my schedule if I can work more nights or something or that I can do more in a few hours, we'll ask help from our friends and family". "It's going to be alright". "Right now I want you to not stress about it". "That's not good for the babies". "Paul" she said "I love you, you're the best husband and father ever". "Your quite amazing yourself you're the best at everything". "Paul" "yes honey I think I don't want to know the sex of our babies". "I would like it to be a surprise so we can look for boys and girl clothes, shop for it and then order after they are born and so we can think of different names". "I would like that" I answered. "So I was thinking" she said "if we have two boys we continue the letter J". "For girls we pick a different letter or a j". "And for boy girl we look for the same letter but not the J". "I like that idea, we'll make a list tomorrow", "alright" she said "ok" I replied. "I love you honey" I said. "Now go to sleep I'm tired so I can't imagine how tired you are".

I didn't sleep at all that night, Torrey was tossing and turning and wasn't being able to get comfortable. "Honey" I said "come here use me to get comfortable", "but then you probably can't sleep", "no problem" I said "it's you who needs her sleep." "Alright" she snuggled up against me laying her head on my chest I caressed her belly so it supported on my arm she took the pregnancy pillow and placed it next to my hand so she could put her belly on it. She started to cry "I feel terrible right now and I'm not even half way it's only going to get worse". "I'm tired but can't sleep I feel awful". She was really sobbing now, "alright" I said "come on out of this room". "Where are we going" she asked "were going downstairs I'm going to get you something to eat and then we are going to watch a movie perhaps you fall asleep then". She nodded "thank you" she whispered. I saw it was midnight. I sighed when I walked downstairs. MY alarm went off at 6 am and I decided to take the boys with me to set. So Torrey could rest during the day. I baked her some eggs and took her upstairs again twenty minutes into the movie she finally fell a sleep. I lay awake all night thinking how to get through this. The doctor talked to me and said that bed rest was the or at least as less things as possible but with two little kids. I decided to call my mother and Torrey's for some help.

Torrey's POV:
I felt terrible I couldn't do much and Paul was so busy right now. I was glad he said he would take the boys with him. "We'll find a solution" he said to me. "I want you to do only the necessary alright". "I'll take care of it". "I'll arrange some people to help". He said he would call our mothers with the possibility to come over for a few weeks and would ask Ian and Nina for help the same as some other friends. "And I'll talk with Kevin and Julie about my hours, it is going to be ok". Yeah I thought I think I have to see that for myself…
