It was now late November and Kelly was a good four months along. Craig and Katie had both settled in really well and Craig would speak to his mother often on the phone. Katie however wasn't ready to talk, she claimed she had nothing nice to say. Both of them had excelled with their school grades and in general all were enjoying having a busy house. Well nearly all:

"Morning honey" Peter chimed as he strolled into the kitchen and saw Kelly sitting in one of the chairs.

"Hey." She spoke as he got closer.

Peter bent down so his face was level with hers and he pressed his lips onto hers. It caught her off guard. She felt passion coursing through her as he deepened the kiss. Their tongues met and both moaned slightly at the enjoyment.

"What's got into you?" Kelly asked when he allowed her to pull away.

"I don't know, I just kinda feel like we haven't had a lot of time together since the kids moved in, you know it's been so busy."

"Well, it's hard to be as openly affectionate as we used to be around the house knowing the kids could walk in at any minute." She softened her tone knowing exactly how he felt.

She too missed how they used to kiss every time they were in the same room, or how Peter would look at her with such lust and passion across the dinner table before sweeping her off to bed. It just wasn't practical anymore.

"I know, I can't remember the last time we kissed like that in the kitchen" he smirked

"Hmm me either," Kelly laughed back, "But I can assure you next time is not nearly as far away."

He looked at her with a glint in his eye and she pulled him in again as their lips met. Right then, as if on cue two more voices filled the kitchen as Craig and Katie waltzed in greeting them good morning.

"What you up to today then dad?" Craig asked making conversation.

"Oh nothing much. I'm playing gold with some of the guys."

Only Katie noticed the look Kelly shot him.

Twenty minutes later everyone was fed and set to go. Peter had changed into his golf gear and agreed to drop Katie at school. Craig had already left and Kelly had also left.

"Kelly was quiet today since you guys came into the kitchen and she left without saying goodbye" Peter queried Katie.

Katie was quiet for a moment and then she spoke up. " I guess"

"What do you mean you guess? Is she mad at me for something?"

"Well, dad not that she has said anything to me but maybe she's upset that you are away playing golf instead of taking her to the doctors." She snapped.

Of course. He remembered now, he had promised she wouldn't have to go alone to any appointment and that he would be by her side through the whole pregnancy.

-

Kelly sat in the doctors office trying to think of reasons why she shouldn't be mad at Peter. She kept looking up at the door willing him to walk through it, she told herself she was being stupid.

"Kelly Gallagher" The doctor called out.

Kelly sighed as she stood up from the chair and followed the doctor.

"Kelly!"

She spun around.

"Kelly, oh baby I'm so sorry, please don't be mad, I just forgot."

She couldn't believe it. He had turned up She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight.

"Why didn't you say anything?" He whispered softly.

"Because I am extremely hormonal and I was annoyed." She replied jokingly.

Suddenly remembering the doctor was waiting for them she took his hand and led him into the room.

"My you are getting big!" the doctor remarked much to Kelly's horror. "Okay let's see what the ultrasound shows.

Kelly grasped hold of Peter's hand and laced her fingers through his as they eagerly looked a the screen.

"Yeah both babies are healthy and obviously growing well" He said.

There it was again, a reference to her size.

"Mr and Mrs Gallagher, would you like to know the sex of your babies?"

Neither knew what to say. Peter leaned down so he was facing Kelly and he kissed her softly.

"It's completely up to you sweetheart." He whispered.

She debated with herself for a moment before speaking.

"I would like to know, as long as you don't mind" She replied.

Peter turned to the doctor, who hadn't heard their conversation and eagerly nodded his head.

"Okay, well it seems that you will have identical twins…" He paused and Kelly's grip on Peter tightened. "one girl and one boy. Congratulations!"

Peter kissed her once again, a girl and a boy, amazing he thought. Kelly was so happy, she hugged Peter and wouldn't let go. This had been brilliant news.

-

When they arrived home after going out for lunch both kids were home from school already. While Peter got caught up telling them the happy new Kelly sneaked of to their bedroom with out saying anything. It wasn't until the kids went out he noticed she was gone.

She stood on front of the mirror taking in what she saw. She didn't see the same person as before, all she saw now was a fat belly and tired face. Her reflection looked happy no doubts, but there was no longer a perfect waistline or slender legs, her boobs were oversized and sore and her skin was pale. Tears began to fill her eyes as she sighed heavily.

"I think you look beautiful." Peter spoke softly.

She hadn't seen him standing in the doorframe watching her.

"How long have you been standing there?" She asked slightly startled.

"Long enough." He began towards her.

"I'm fat!" She cried, a tear rolling down her cheek.

" You're not fat, you're pregnant." He said scooping her into his arms as she cried freely on his chest.

"I still look horrible, and huge, even the doctor thought so!"

"Awww maybe your body is gonna change when your pregnant and you can't help that" He kissed her temple, "but one thing you are not is horrible."

"Really?" She wasn't convinced.

"Honey, I think you are glowing and I love the way look and the fact that in here (he rubbed her belly) you are carrying our kids, so please don't let it get you down."

She leaned up and kisses him.

"I'm sorry, I guess it's mostly hormones talking."

He guided her over to the bed where he lay down and rubbed the spot next to him. She obliged joining him and laying flat on her back. He lay on his side next to her and used hi arm to hold him half-over and above her. His other hand rubbing her bump as they just looked into each other's eyes.

"So a boy and a girl huh. Now we get the best of both" Peter remarked cheerfully after a few moments.

"I think it's wonderful." She replied which got her a light kiss.

"Have erm, have you thought at all about names?" He asked cautiously.

"Actually yeah, well I tried, I could only think of a name for the girl" They both chuckled.

"Well I could only come up with a boy" Peter laughed. "So what do you want to call her?"

"Well, I've always since I was little wanted a daughter called" She paused to look at him, he raised his eyebrows willing her to continue. "Megan" She finished.

He smiled widely. "I love it! Megan Gallagher. Sounds perfect."

Kelly was so relieved. "So what about our son? What do you want to call him?"

"Well I had two names but the one I like the best is Blake"

"Uh huh, what's the other choice?"

His face fell.

Kelly giggled "Awww baby, I'm just joking, I love it, I really do" She stroked his cheek.

"Really are you sure because the other option was Ross." He rambled.

"Yes I'm sure. Ross is nice too but Blake Gallagher has a nice ring to it."

"Okay. What about middle names?" He asked curiously.

"Well, I thought it would be nice if we let Katie and Craig pick them. As long as you are ok with that."

I think it's a brilliant idea." He smiled in appreciation.

He leaned up to kiss her, their lips clasping together for a few minutes. When they broke apart Peter but his head down to her belly and started speaking in a childish voice.

"Hey there, Megan and Blake, are those your names?" he cooed.

Kelly couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculous voice he was using.

"I really hope you aren't gonna talk to them like that once they are born, otherwise they are definitely gonna be mummy's boy and girl" She laughed.

He looked up, "OH! I'll get you for that"

She laughed hysterically as Peter tickled her. Nobody else could have made her this happy. Soon the play fight had turned into a make-out session just like they usually did. Every kiss they shared that night was pure bliss full of joy, love, lust and hope.
