"It's okay when you order a beer." Sofia said when Sara came back with a tray full of drinks for her wife and her friends and ended up with an orange juice like Sofia.

"No it isn't. We're pregnant."

"Sara takes that very seriously." Greg smiled. He had been so happy for Sara and Sofia when they told him that Sofia was pregnant.

"Yes I do."

"Do you feel it? Do you feel that there's somebody inside you?" Cath wanted to know. She had been all over Sofia with questions, reminded of her own pregnancy.

"I don't feel sick anymore and I'm very thankful for that."

"You're in which week again?"

"Fifteen."

"Too early to feel it kicking. It will be such an amazing feeling when you feel the first kick, believe me."

"Actually I don't need somebody kicking me from the inside. It's enough that I've a wife who pinches me whenever she has the chance."

"Not true," Sara said. "I pinch you when you deserve that."

"There's no reason to pinch me for a piece of chocolate."

"A piece? A big bar you were about to finish within an hour."

"I'm pregnant I've to eat more now."

"Yeah she needs chocolate for two." Warrick grinned.

Sara and Sofia exchanged looks. They hadn't told their friends yet that Sofia was expecting twins.

"Greggo, what are you doing tomorrow afternoon?"

"You mean on my day off, Sara? Why?"

"Just asking."

"You don't ask without a thought behind."

"We could need your strong arms."

"What for?"

"A cradle and some wall paper."

"The room is ready."

"Yeah and it looks great…" Sara started.

"But?"

"But…" She looked at Sofia.

"We need a second room." The blonde completed.

"What? Why is one room not enough?"

"Because there are two children inside me." Sofia smiled.

"Two? Twins?"

"According to my doctor, yes."

"Whoa. Congratulations again." He hugged Sofia. "And to you." He kissed Sara's cheek. Two kids. Well done, mommy."

"Yeah. We thought we save some time."

"Since when do you know you're expecting twins?" Cath asked. Twins were even more exciting than one child.

"Two days. It was a shock first but it's the best that could happen. I wanted two children anyway and now I'll have them at the same time. One pregnancy, no more morning sickness for a second child."

"Do you know what you'll have? Boy and girl?" Nick asked.

"It was too early to tell, we'll find out the next time. But it doesn't matter, we need Greg anyway for a second room."

"I'll be there at four if that suits you."

"Perfect." Sara hugged her friend and got her mouth close to his ear. "And I hope you'll be a good godfather, Greggo." She whispered and smiled when she saw how pale he turned.

"Me?" He was whispering.

"As my best friend and groomsman you're the perfect person for that. Would you like to be the godfather of one of our children?"

"Sure."

"Thanks."

"Thank you for the trust."

"Did you choose names already?"

"Nick, we don't know what we'll have, how can we choose names then?" Sofia laughed.

"You pick two each and you'll be fine."

"No, we haven't thought of names. I think we'll do that when we know what we'll get." Sofia took Sara's hand. Their children. It was so nice to think of they were their children.

"Will you stop working sooner?"

"Cath, don't start to sound like Sara. I like my job and I don't want to sit at home the whole time."

"With twins your pregnancy will be more complicated. And you have to carry the weight of two."

"I'll work as long as it's possible. I mean soon I'll be sitting on a desk, what kind of work is that?"

"A safe one." Sara grinned.

"I expect my wife to be with me. Get an office job too."

"Sorry I'm not pregnant."

"Yeah, that's not fair." Warrick cocked his head. "You should get one baby too. Don't leave all the work to Sofia."

"As a man, Warrick Brown, you're not suppose to say a single word. You guys have always only the fun part and we women have the work."

"Not my fault that we can't get pregnant."

"Mother nature has it's reasons for that. There wouldn't be human being anymore if giving birth was for men. You're too whiny."

"That's why women cry all the in the movies."

"We might cry faster but if you have to squeeze a table tennis ball through your nose I want to hear you crying and whining."

"Ouch."

"And I've to do that twice…can we change the topic please? I don't feel that comfortable being pregnant anymore." Sofia held her belly.

"You're strong, you can do it." Sara got her arms around Sofia.

"Mhm, will you be there?"

"Sure. Until you'll yell at me and tell me to leave the room right away."

"Even if I say that I hope you'll stay. I won't mean it that way."

"Women never mean the bad things they say." Greg grinned and backed off a bit because of Sofia's evil eyes. He wasn't sure if the blonde wouldn't try to hit him.

"Anybody up for a new drink?" Cath offered.

"I take another juice." Sofia handed her empty glass to Cath. She was thirsty and hungry all the time since she was pregnant.

"Me too."

"Have a beer." Sofia empowered her wife. "No need for you to drink juice."

"We are pregnant, we don't drink alcohol. I can't take the burden of giving birth and carry our children around for nine months of you but I can be supportive and drink juice with you. That's alright. Our first beer together will be something very special."

"We'll be drunk after it."

"Cheap way of getting drunk."

"Eddie didn't bother that I was pregnant, he was drinking and smoking all the time." Cath sighed and walked away to get new drinks.

"Having children means you won't take off for your huge world trips anymore." Nick said. "I won't get a postcard from China or Japan?"

"Not in the next sixteen years and if the children are like Sofia, they'll need to be supervised even longer."

"Very funny. Only because I enjoyed my childhood with more than books it doesn't mean I was a bad child."

"You were a lovely child and a nightmare teenager according to your mother."

"She's lying. She's nasty since her retirement day comes closer and closer. As soon as she is retired I won't let her in our house anymore."

"She's your mother."

"That doesn't matter."

"Your father will break our door open to have some quiet time."

"That might happen." Sofia had to laugh. Her poor father would have to suffer a lot when his wife was home the whole time.

"Are your parents happy that you're pregnant?" Warrick wanted to know.

"Yes. And now that they'll have two grandchildren they're even more excited. Dad started to build a little cradle and decorated my old room like a baby room. When we told them there'll be two grandchildren he started to make a list what he needs for a second bed. And later he wants to build them bunk beds with a slide and I've no ideas what else. He had so many ideas, I think he's going to build the bed he wanted to have as a small boy. We won't stop him. It's good for him, it's good for our children. They'll have two rooms, so we can leave them with my parents all the time we want to go away. I'm sure we can sneak out of town for a weekend every now and then." Sofia blinked at Sara. She was sure her mother wouldn't mind taking care of the children when Sofia and Sara wanted to have a few nights for themselves.

"Will he build a playground in your garden?"

"Probably. They have the space."

"Both grandparents freshly retired, the perfect place for children. They'll spoil them endlessly."

"Yes."

"And knowing your mother she'll teach them how to behave."

"Probably. The captain will always be a captain and our children will be the new recruits."

"What went wrong with you? Why didn't your mom teach you how to…ouch." Sara held her shoulder. Sofia had placed her fist right in the middle.

"I've an abusive pregnant wife."

"I can blame my hormones for that."

"You blame them for everything."

"Get used to it"

"It will get worse with every day." Cath handed Sofia her juice. "My mood went down the bigger my belly was. I felt so fat and couldn't move and had the feeling Eddie wasn't interested in me anymore because I looked awful."

"A pregnant woman doesn't look awful, they look beautiful." Greg said. "Look at Sofia, her smile gets brighter every day. The pregnancy suits her so good, she could be a model for maternity fashion in a few weeks. Right now she's too thin for that."

"I love that man." Sofia grinned. Greg was a guest she'd always like to see in her house. He said nice things about her. Maybe they should give him the free room.
