Baby Love

"What about Chukwuemeka?" Lincoln asked as he sat on the couch flipping through the baby name book. "I'm not sure if I pronounced that right?" he leaned over to show Hannah the name and she just laughed.

"Linc do you really think I want to call my baby Chukwuemeka if you can't even pronounce it?" Sara laughed as she sat on the other couch with Michael rubbing her stomach.

"He'd have to carry that book around all the time just so he could remember the pronunciation" Michael laughed.

"No I'm not calling our baby Chukwuemeka" Sara stated.

"We could call him Chuck for short" Linc said even though he knew Sara wasn't even going to consider it.

"Let me see this" Hannah said as she took the book out of Linc's hands and started looking at other names. "How about Nathan or Nate for short?"

Michael crinkled up his nose "No I went to school with a Nathan and he was a pain in the butt. Now every time I here that name I think of him."

"Okay Nathan is a no" Sara said as Michael reached out for the book. "Kiara is a pretty name" he said and looked down at Sara who seemed to agree and smiled at him.

"Yea she is also a lion on the Lion King 2" Lincoln pointed out and Michael and Sara looked up at him. "Sorry the twins made me watch The Lion King 2 six times yesterday."

Sara and Michael laughed as the remember Lincoln being force to watch the movie over and over again for hours. It was Nicole's favorite movie and she got excited each time they watched it no matter how many times she had seen it.

"Fine no to Kiara" Sara said as she took the book and flipped through it. "Oh I love the name Yolanda" Sara said with a huge smile on his face. "It means violet flower"

"Oh that is a beautiful name" Hannah said excitedly "Yolanda Scofield"

"I also love the name Kianna, (Kee-aw-nah) its Hawaiian meaning God is gracious." Sara told them as she handed the book back to Michael.

Michael smiled as he thought about it, "Kianna Scofield, I like it and I also like the name Joshua" he told her before giving her a kiss.

Hannah smiled and flipped through the book "Okay for a boy I like; Weston, Ian, Xavier and Shane. For a girl, Silvia, Molly, Olivia, Grace and Emma" Hannah told them as she closed the book.

"Xavier sounds cool" Michael admitted "And I like Silvia and Emma"

"Yeah but not Molly because I use to have a dog named Molly and she wasn't very friendly or at least to me." Sara told them and everyone laughed.

"I still like Chukwuemeka Scofield" Lincoln stated with a laugh and the others just glared at him. "Beside who said we're only looking for one name?"

"There is only one in here" Sara said firmly as she touched her stomach, "I had the doctor triple check"

"Man I can remember like it was yesterday what your face was like when we found out we were having twins," Michael said as he gave her a hug.

"Yea she wore the same horrified face until she gave birth" Lincoln laughed.

"Shut up!" Sara warned them as she caressed her stomach "There's only one this time."

*FLASHBACK* (five years ago)

Michael and Sara walked into the doctor's waiting room hand in hand when Sara was ten weeks pregnant so she could get the first ultrasound. They approached the front desk and were taken to a private room until the doctor could see them. Sara sat on the examning table looking around the room nervously while Michael continued to pace.

They were both overjoyed the minute the found out they were having a baby but now as the idea settled in they were both very nervous. Sara watched as he husband paced back and forth and was biting his nails. Watching him only made her even more scared and couldn't take it any more. "Michael you need to stop I can't have you freaking out on me because if you do then I'm going to freak out and I'm already scared to death about this." Sara told him.

Michael stopped and walked over to his wife and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry it's just this is so new and I don't know what to do" Michael told her as he rubbed her back and planed kisses on the top of her head.

"I know me too," Sara admitted as she clung to her husband tightly.

After a few moments Michael pulled away and took a seat in front of Sara, "Okay we can do this, people had a baby all the time and we've been through so much so one little baby can't be that scary. Heck if having a baby is so terrifying then why to people have another one, I mean my mom had me after Linc so it can't be that bad, also I knew a woman who I use to live down the street from and she had six kids.

Sara slowly nodded "Yea it's just one baby how hard can it be? We can do this right?"

"Yeah we can" Michael told her with a smile as he pushes a strand of her hair behind her ear and brushed his lips against hers. "We can do this."

After a few moments the doctor walked in and saw the young couple, comforting each other. "I'm guessing this is your first?" he said with a smile. Sara and Michael both nodded nervously. "Well I'm going to make sure everything moves smoothly through the pregnancy and to help take away some of that worry. You can call me Dr. Fisher."

Michael and Sara smiled at him. As Dr. Fisher got everything ready Michael stood up and moved beside Sara and gripped her hand. After taking a deep breath Sara lay back on the examining table and clutched Michael's hand a little tighter as Dr. Fisher got started. After Sara lifted up her shirt the doctor rubbed some cool gel on her tummy to help improve the sound conduction. Sara's eyes looked up at Michael and he gave her a smile and gently squeezed her hand with a little encouragement.

They both watched as the doctor slid the transducer over her abdomen trying to find the heartbeat. They both watched as the doctor's face lit up as he found what he was looking for. "There it is," he told the young couple and both Michael and Sara smiled and looked at the screen.

Michael was smiling ear to ear as his thump caressed Sara's hand, "That's our baby" he said to her and then bent down to kiss her forehead.

"Actually…" Dr. Fisher said making both Sara and Michael look as him a nervously.

"What… What's wrong" Sara said scared of what he might say.

"Oh nothing is wrong it's just I'm picking up two heartbeats" Dr. Fisher said with a huge smiled.

"WHAT!" Sara said in a shocked and terrified voice as she gripped Michael's hand so tight he was wincing in pain.

"Sara, honey my hand" he said softly but Sara just gripped it tighter.

"Shut up, Michael" she hissed at him and then turned back to the doctor. "There has to be a mistake I… I… I can't be having twins. Please tell me I'm being punk'd or something"

Dr. Fisher shook his head, "No it's no mistake I'm getting two very strong heartbeats"

"Please Sara" Michael begged as his face was turning red her was in so much pain. He had no idea Sara was so strong and was afraid she might crush his bones if she didn't release his hand soon. He let out the breath he had been holding when she finally let his hand go. As he rubbed his hand and tried to regain so feeling in it, he looked over at Sara and saw she was freaking out. "Dr. Fisher can you give us a minute?"

He nodded to Michale and then slowly left couple alone to adjust to the new information they had just been given. Michael moved over and brought the doctors stool over beside the examining table where Sara lay with a ghostly white face. "Hey Sara look at me" Michael whispered to her as his thumb caressed her cheek.

Sara made no move to look at him and just shook her head as her eyes starred straight at the wall in front of her. "I… I can't be pregnant with… with twins," she said in a shaky voice.

"Listen Sara, it's going to be okay" Michael told her in a comforting voice, but it didn't seem to work as her eyes glared at him.

"Oh shut up when was the last time you had to push a human being out of your body Michael!" Sara snapped at him. "No this is crazy there is no way I'm having twins, I… agreed we would have one," a terrified Sara said. "I mean I was freaking out enough with having one baby and now you want me to have two at once" her voice was shaking and she frantically shook her head.

"Look I know it's scary and I'm just as nervous as you are but we can do this" Michael told her as he held her hand and brought it to his lips.

Sara quickly pulled her hand away from him and glared at him, "No offence Michael but we aren't carrying twins and then giving birth to them seven months from now" Sara snapped at him. "To be exact your part was the fun part and was over within two minutes!"

"Hey, my part was not that easy and there was a lot of pressure during those two minutes!" Michael said with a smirk in his defense even though he knew Sara would buy it.

"This isn't funny Michael, I'm sacred to death here and your sitting there making jokes" a teary eyed Sara proclaimed.

"I know and I'm sorry" he whispered as held her close and wrapped his arms around her and rested his forehead against hers. "I'm scared too, but I know that we can do this. Together. I promise I am with you every step of the way making sure you and our babies are taken care of. I will be there every minute that it will get to the point you'll be begging me to leave you alone but I won't." Sara listened to him and she stated to laugh all well knowing he wasn't kidding. A tear fell down her cheek and Michael brushed it away with his thumb. "We can do this," he told her as his hand moved to rest on her stomach where their two little miracles were safely growing. After a moment Sara's hand moved over top of his and a smile crept across her face.

"Well it's not like we can return one" Sara laughed and Michael also laughed a little before moving toward her to brush his lips against hers. "We did say we wanted to have a big family."

Michael smiled "Yeah we did, just think about how amazing it's going to be to have two little ones running around causing trouble."

Sara nodded and caressed Michael's hand that she had almost crushed caressed it "Sorry about your hand"

"It's okay, it actually stopped me from fainting when I heard we were having twins," they both laughed and wrapped their arms around each other and thought about the new journey they were both about to take together.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Both Michael Sara smiled as they thought about that moment and Sara laid her head on Michael's shoulder. Michael leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead and rubbed her back. "You know sometimes I still get these awful pains in my hand since that day"

Sara scoffed and smacked his arm, "Please I thought you said you have I high tolerance for pain?" Michael just laughed and held her closer.

The two seem to be enjoying their little moment and pretty much forgot Linc and Hannah were present so before the two horny adult took it to far Linc spoke up " So we all agree on calling it Chukwuemeka if it's a boy?" Sara and Michael's eyes both turned and glared at Linc.
