Chapter 2

"Mau baby!" Collins yelled as he walked into the apartment, Angel right behind him shaking her head.

"Sweetie she's probably still sleep" Angel whispered placing a hand on his shoulder.

"You're right. You check while I put this ice cream in the freezer" Collins said kissing Angel's cheek. Angel nodded as Collins walked towards the kitchen and made her way towards the bedroom. Opening the door quietly Angel peeked her head in and smiled when she saw Maureen laying on her side obviously still asleep.

"Is she sleep?" Collins half-yelled as he walked down the hall.

"SHHHHHH!" Angel hushed him with a glare. He frowned as he reached her. "I guess thats a yes" he said softly.

"She was asleep before your big mouth woke her up" Maureen said as her eyes fluttered open and she looked at Angel and Collins in the doorway. Angel gave Collins a mean glare before walking in the room and over to Maureen as she rubbed her eyes.

"How do you feel honey?" Angel asked as she took a seat on the edge of the bed and moved some of Maureen's hair out her face.

"Fat" Maureen said simply as she pouted. Angel smiled sympathetically as Collins laughed.

"Aw come on Mau. You're carrying two babies at the same time. You're supposed to be big and round. If you weren't then we'd all be worried" Collins said grinning. Maureen glared at him and he shrugged his shoulders walking out the room.

"Well how are the twins doing?" Angel asked.

"They're swollen and they ache" Maureen said without thinking.

"Not thoses twins chica" Angel said laughing realizing Maureen was refering to her breasts.

"Oh right. They've been awake for the past hour fighting or something. I think they enjoy kicking me" Maureen said shaking her head as she sat up.

"Aw it'll get better honey just wait until you have them. Should be any day now" Angel said smiling and rubbing Maureen's stomach. "I can't wait to meet them"

"Neither can I. I REALLY can't wait to meet them" Maureen said sighing as she got up and walked towards the bathroom. Angel smiled as she stood up and walked into the kitchen where Collins was looking in the fridge.

"Find what you're looking for?" Angel asked smirking.

"Matter of fact I did!" Collins said holding up a carton of milk and walking over to the bowl of fruity pebbles he had just made. Angel shook her head and took a seat at the table as Collins poured the milk and put it back in the fridge.

"Is that my cereal!" Maureen yelled as she walked into the kitchen.

"I don't know. If the fruity pebbles were yours then yeah it is" Collins said shrugging as he shoved a spoonful into his mouth.

"Thomas! I'm gonna-" Maureen stared but Angel quickly interupted her.

"Honey! I got you some Cookies and Creme Ice Cream" Angel said with a smile.

"Really?" Maureen asked with bright eyes as she hurried over to the fridge and Angel shot Collins a 'whew' look. Maureen paying no attention to them opened the freezer. She reached into the fridge to get the ice cream and stopped.

"Shit" She mumbled and turned to look at Collins and Angel. Collins had a confused look on his face as Angel stared down at the puddle at Maureen's feet.

"Oh my god. Okay honey calm down." Angel said rushing over to Maureens side and grabbing her arm to help her stand. "Collins! Call Joanne and tell her to meet us at the hospital then call a taxi" Angel said right before Maureen screamed as a contraction hit her, making her knees buckle. Angel quickly grabbed her other arm to help steady her as Collins set his cereal down and ran for the phone.

"Sherrie can you make copies of these for me please?" Joanne asked standing in front of her secretary's desk.

"Of course Mrs. Jefferson" Sherrie said smiling and taking the stack of papers from her, standing up.

"Thank you" Joanne said smiling and walking back to her office. She stopped in the door way when she saw her co-worker Steve sitting in her chair.

"What do I owe this pleasure?" Joanne asked walking around the desk.

"Hey Jo. Hows Maureen and the babies?" Steve said grinning as he got out of Joanne's chair and walked around the desk, taking a seat on the edge.

"They're good. Now what do you want because I know you want something" Joanne said with a smirk as she took a seat.

"Well now that you mention it, I need a favor. Can you work for me on the 7th of next month?" Steve asked almost pouting. Joanne laughed.

"Why? and Why are you asking me?"

"My neice's birthday and I promised I'd take her to Disney World that weekend. I'll be gone all weekend and I won't be back until that afternoon. You're the only one who has that day off in this department."

"Yes I'll work for you but you owe me. Just don't make sure I don't have to go to court"

"I will and I'll leave a list. Thank you Jo!" Steve said as he leaned over to kiss her cheek.

"Your Welcome just-" Joanne stopped as her phone rang. Remembering Sherrie was in the copy room Joanne picked it up after motioning for Steve to hold on.

"Hello? Joanne Jefferson's Office. Joanne speaking"

"JO! Get to the hospital!" Collins yelled in the phone.

"What? Why whats going on? Is Maureen okay? Is there something wrong with the babies!?" Joanne said panicking.

"No, no. Mau's water broke. We're leaving now" Collins said and hung up. Joanne hung up and looked up at Steve.

"You owe me! I gotta go though. Tell Sherrie I had to leave and to hold my calls and cancel my appointments? Please and thanks" Joanne said quickly grabbing her briefcase and coat running out the office.

"Um...your welcome?" Steve said after she was gone with a shocked look on his face.
