Quil POV:

I silently watched Claire on the couch. She was hunched over her belly, trying to tie her shoe. Her poor little arms couldn't quite reach. I was amazed at only 6 months pregnant, her belly was big, I mean really big! At this point I was expecting her to pop at any second, but she still had about 3 months to go.

"Damn these shoes and their laces!" she yelled. Her face got a little flushed.

"Here, let me help you." I said, kneeling in front of her, tying her shoe. Once I was finished I looked up at her. "There, better?" I asked her. She nodded and touched my face.

"Thank you." she said, sounding tired. I kissed her lightly and then her protruding belly.

"Ready?" I asked her. She took my outstretched hand and we were off. We had a doctor's appointment. I never really liked doctor's offices, but I learned to get a grip on my hysteria. Our doctor was nice.

We sat there for at least an hour. I was beginning to get increasingly nervous. I talked to Embry and told him if I wasn't home by that evening to come looking for me. I don't know what it was about baby doctor's offices but they gave me the willies. My knee was bouncing about twenty miles a minute as I tried to calm myself. I don't know what it was, I just didn't like the doctor's office. All these pregnant ladies made me feel a little uneasy.

Suddenly Claire's hand slammed down on my leg. "Quil you have got to relax." I shrugged toward her innocently.

"Sorry, I'm just…." I trailed off.

"I know you're nervous but there's really nothing to be nervous over, babe. We're just getting an ultrasound." she assured. I felt instantly calmed by her words.

"Claire Ateara." a nurse called. "You can come back now." she smiled at Claire and I.

We found our way back to the ultrasound room.

"Uh, thank god I don't have to put on one of those god for saken robes!" Claire exclaimed as she sat on the examination table. "I feel so revealed! And I am too fat to be that revealed." I chuckled lightly.

"You're not fat, you're pregnant and your beautiful." I told her. She rolled her eyes.

"You are soo full of it!" she laughed. Just then our doctor came in. She wasn't the same doctor we had been seeing for the last 6 months.

"Where's Dr. Chijoni?" Claire asked, taking the words right out of my mouth.

"Good afternoon Mr. And Mrs. Ateara. I am Dianne. I am the ultrasound technician, I'll be the one helping you guys out today. I promise on your next visit, you'll be able to see Dr. Chijoni again." she smiled warmly.

"Oh…okay." Claire said warily.

"So we are having an ultrasound today right?" Claire and I both nodded. "Alrighty then, let's see your baby." she said cheerily. Dianne searched through her cabinet, pulling out a bottle of something. Then she snapped on some rubber gloves. "Can we just lift this up a little?" she asked, slightly shifting Claire's t shirt up further, revealing her mountainous belly. Dianne let out a sudden laugh, "Whoa, some kick that little one's got there." she said.

I laughed, thinking back to the other night when the baby was keeping Claire up from his or hers constant kicks. The little squirt was getting stronger and stronger everyday.

Dianne spread some blue gel looking stuff on Claire's stomach. "Oh! Cold." Claire laughed.

"Sorry about that." Dianne apologized with a smile, running that one thing that connected to the machine over her stomach. Dianne searched for a few minutes. I began to become a little uneasy when she didn't say anything. My heart began to speed anxiously.

"Huh." she mumbled.

"What's the matter?" I blurted out. She shook her head.

"I can only find one heartbeat." she said still searching.

"You can only hear my heartbeat and not my baby's?" Claire asked, alarmed.

"I can only find one baby's heartbeat."

"One of the bab…-"

"Oh! There's the other one!" she laughed. I was confused. "Both heartbeats are strong." she announced.

"By both you mean mine and my baby's right?" Claire asked sounding as confused as I felt.

"All three of you heartbeats are strong." Dianne laughed, still fiddling with the ultrasound screen.

"Three?" Claire's voice was beginning to rise.

"Yes." Dianne confirmed. "You weren't aware you were having twins?"

"Twins?" I hollered, shocked. Dianne jumped slightly, startled.

Twins? What the hell, twins? Since when did my one kid morph into two?

"Dr. C never said anything about having twins!" I exclaimed. Dianne let out a small laugh.

"It happens sometimes. You see sometimes both babies' heartbeats are in sync, making it impossible to tell there is more than one heartbeat in there. It happens more often then you would think."

I looked over at Claire who had a huge grin plastered on her face. "Twins?" she breathed. I was scared out of my mind.

I remember when Claire told me she was pregnant.

*Flashback*

We had been married for half a year, almost. I didn't know why she was kind of avoiding me for a few days, all of a sudden. We were like Bonnie and Clide for so long, so I could feel when she was being distant.

I found her in the bathroom one night hunched over the sink.

"Claire Bear." I said, opening the door, planning on demanding to know what's been bothering her lately. As soon as I was in sight she whipped her hands behind her back, as if she was hiding something there.

"Claire…What's up, what are you doing?" I asked her.

"Nothing!" she said all to quickly.

"What are you hiding from me then?" I asked her, peering behind her.

"Nothing at all, Quil." she sounded like she was trying to defend herself.

"I know when you're lying Claire. You're a terrible liar." I said, feeling frustrated at the thought of her hiding something from me. She let out a long sigh. "Claire?" I asked again. Her hands appeared from behind her back and she held out an EPT.

"I'm pregnant." she said with tears welling up in her eyes.

"What?!" I screamed. "Are you serious?!" I was nearly jumping with joy! "Why are you crying?" I asked her, confused.

"I thought you might be mad…I mean we have only been married for a while and..." I didn't let her finish. I wrapped her up into my arms, kissing her and hugging her tight.

"I could never be mad! We're going to be a family!" I laughed as I wiped her tears away. She grinned at me.

"Really? You're not mad, at all?" she asked, still unsure. I kissed her lips quickly, before sinking to my knees and resting my head against her still flat tummy. "What on earth are you doing?" she hissed.

"I can never be mad at you for giving me the gift of being a father." I said kissing her stomach and then rising back to my feet, holding her tight.

"I love you Quil." she whispered.

"I love you more." I answered.

*End Flashback*

"I can't believe it's twins!" Claire gasped. Dianne was still tinkering with the ultrasound. She showed us various pictures of our…babies.

"Do you want to know the sex of them?" she asked. I began to say no but Claire cut me off.

"Yes!" she almost screamed.

"I thought we were going to wait." I argued with her.

"I know, but I'm dying to know!" she whined, "I can't wait another 3 months!" I thought about it. I didn't want to wait another 3 months either.

"You guys sure?" Dianne asked. I nodded.

"Yes!" Claire said, excitedly.

"Well….it looks like…you'll be having…" she paused, examining the screen, "one of each, a boy and a girl." she said smiling back at Claire.

"Both!?" Claire rejoiced. I let out a laugh and a sigh of relief.

"You okay, dad?" Dianne asked me. I nodded.

"I'm just glad that it's not both girls! I can't handle that many women!" All three of us laughed.

"Would you like a picture of your babies?" Dianne asked us.

"Yes please." Claire said. After we got our printout, Dianne cleaned Claire's belly.

"Congratulations you two." Dianne said, before leaving.

"Thanks." Claire and I said in unison. As I turned to look at Claire, sliding off the table. She flew into my arms, hugging me tightly. I pulled back and she kissed me lightly.

"Twins?" I asked her still shocked.

She nodded. "Twins." And at than, we were heading back home to tell everyone of our little miracle. I guess there would be no more arguments over whether it was a boy or a girl!

A/N: Alrighty then! There you have it. :D
