The ambulance arrived in minutes and Trina was on her way to the hospital with Beck by her side.
Jade and Tori followed in Jade's car.
The ride was a very short one and soon Trina was sitting in her hospital bed awaiting a visit from her
OB/Gyn.
Beck: How are you feeling honey?
Trina: Ok, a little nervous I think, I have never done this before.
Beck: You are going to be fine, don't worry.
Just then Trina's doctor walked in.
Dr. Benson: Well how is Trina doing today?
Trina: Well I am pretty sure my water broke.
Dr. Benson: Ok now let's just see how dilated you are and then we will decide what to do next.
Dr. Benson checks out Trina
Dr. Benson: Well Trina things look pretty good, so I have a great idea.
Trina: What is that?
Dr. Benson: Let's get you down to the delivery room and say hi to your kids.
Trina: You mean now?
Dr. Benson: Oh yes, I mean right now!
Dr. Benson called for the staff and they rolled Trina down to delivery. In less than an hour Trina and Beck were the proud parents of twins.
Tori and Jade were waiting back up in Trina's room. Tori had called her parents and David and Holly had arrived. She tried to call Beck's parents but there was no answer so she left a detailed message.
Soon Trina was rolled back into the room, she was tired but happy. She was met with hugs and kisses from David and Holly and Tori and even Jade got in on it. A little while longer and 2 smiling nurses came in holding two little packages wrapped in blankets.
Nurse One: Here you go mommy, we have something for you.
They laid the babies gently in the bed on either side of Trina.
Nurse two: You all get acquainted and we will be back for them later.
David: So have you guys thought of names for the children yet?
Trina: Well, for the boy we were thinking of David Beckett, after his grandfather and father, and Marie Holly for the girl.
Holly: Well I like them.
Tori: We all do, welcome to the family David and Marie.
Nurse one: We are going to take the babies back to the nursery so they can get some rest.
Holly: We should leave and let Trina get some rest too. Tomorrow is another day.
Everyone said goodbye and kissed Trina. Beck stayed the latest but he soon came out and met with the rest of the group.
Beck: Well that was an interesting day.
Holly: Listen if you have the time why not stop over, we can get some takeout and have some coffee. Besides, we never get to talk to a big movie star.
Jade laughed
Jade: Mrs. Vega I am just jade, the girl that used to creep you out with my clothes and piercings when I came over your house before. But I would be delighted to come over.
They all drove over to the Vega house and ordered some Chinese food, while Holly made tea and coffee.
When the food was delivered they all sat around munching and talking just like when the kids were back at Hollywood Arts, not so long ago.
Beck: Jade you started to say something about Robbie needing a job earlier today?
Jade: Oh yes, gee that seems like so long ago now. You know that Robbie and Cat were in that TV show but it was not renewed so they are both kind of out of work.
Beck: Cat too, what a shame, are they alright?
Jade: Not really, they have been trying to find work but it has been hard. I have kind of been subsidizing them, because, well first off I can, and second Cat has always been a dear friend and I could never let anything bad happen to her.
Beck: Ok it's settled then, I will hire Robbie for as long as it takes to get them on their feet. Actually with Trina being home now the timing is perfect.
Jade: Thanks, I know that Robbie and Cat will appreciate it. Robbie is a bit of a geek still so he might actually be good for your business. He seems to know a lot about car electronics.
Beck: I will talk to him about it in the morning; make sure you give me his number before we all leave.
Tori: It will be nice to see him again, and Cat; I really miss her she was such a sweetheart.
Jade: Yes, I don't know why that TV show did not hit for them, it seemed perfect for their talents.
Tori: Things just never work out the way we expect, when we were in school if anyone told me that Beck would be the President of an electronics company I would never have believed it, I was sure he was going to be an actor.
Beck: Sometimes I think we get what we really need instead of what we want. Right now this makes much more sense. If it happens someday, great, if not, hey I have a great job and a great wife and two beautiful kids, I really don't need any more.
David: Spoken like the true son-in-law of a cop carrying a loaded weapon.
Everyone breaks up laughing.
Tori: Besides things aren't so bad, we all at least know a star.
They all applaud Jade who laughs.
Jade: Thank you, thank you; you are all too kind. I would love to stay longer and be worshipped by you but I must run off back to my empty apartment and get some sleep. Seriously let me know how Trina is doing and what happens with Robbie.
Beck: No problem, and thanks so much for coming and sharing this happy moment with us...
He hugs Jade and gives her a kiss on the cheek.
Tori and Jade hug and Jade leaves
Beck: Remind me to call the realtor tomorrow, Tori, and see how the search is going for a house. Things have just gotten critical.
Tori: Ok and I got Robbie's number for you too so you can call him.
Beck: Great, well I think it is time to say goodnight, tomorrow is going to be a busy day.
They all go off to bed.
In the morning Beck arose and showered early. By the time he got dressed Holly had made coffee and he sat down for a quick breakfast.
Tori bounded out of her room and ran a comb through her long hair before sitting down across from Beck.
Beck: Good morning Tori.
Tori: Good morning daddy.
Beck looked up and smiled at her.
Beck: I do like the sound of that!
David: There is certainly something about that sound.
Tori: Good morning dad.
Tori gives him a kiss on the cheek.
Beck: Good morning sir.
David: Good morning Tori, good morning Beck. Beck now that you are married to my daughter and have two children of your own do you think you might consider calling me David, Dave or even Dad if you prefer.
Beck: Yes sir
David; I take it there is going to be a period of adjustment.
Beck: Yes sir, I mean David I mean Dave.
David patted Beck on the shoulder.
David: We'll work on that.
Beck: Tori we should probably take separate cars today because we both may have some running around to do, besides going to see Trina.
Tori: I can still go in with you; Trina's car is still at work so I can use it.
Beck: You are right, in all the excitement I forgot.
Tori: That is understandable, you had a busy day there dad.
Beck: Not as busy as Trina.
Tori: Are you just about ready?
Beck: I think so, I think I will call Robbie first thing and get him in. The sooner I bring him up to speed the better.
Tori: Ok let's go
Tori and Beck drove in to work. As soon as they got in there were phone calls to be made and e-mails to read.
They both whizzed through those with the practice eye of someone who knew the important from the trivial. Within moments they had the pile sorted to a manageable amount, and then Beck took Robbie's phone number from Tori and settled in.
Beck dialed the phone and within a moment a high pitched voice answered
Cat: Hello Cat Valentine and Robbie Shapiro's residence.
Beck: Hello Cat, this is Beck Oliver, how are you?
Cat; Beck! How are you, Robbie and I are just great, it is so nice to hear from you. What can I do for you?
Beck: I was wondering of Robbie was around, I would like to speak to him if I could.
Cat: Sure, I will get him for you he is in the other room.
Robbie: Hi Beck it is so nice to hear from you, how are you and Trina doing?
Beck: Really great, Trina just gave birth to twins yesterday, David and Marie.
Robbie: Oh that is wonderful, you must be so happy!
Beck: We are, but now that Trina has the babies she is not going to be in work here for a while so I was wondering if you might have some free time to help me out for a while.
Robbie: Well my agent is working to try to find another TV gig but I do have some free time right now.
Beck: Great can you meet me this morning and we will talk about it?
Robbie: Ok, I will be there in an hour.
Beck: Great I will see you then.
Cat: It was so nice to hear from Beck again. What did he say?
Robbie: Well he and Trina had twins yesterday a boy and a girl named David and Marie.
Cat: Wait, if they are twins, how can they be a boy and a girl? Wouldn't they both have to be the same?
Robbie: No Cat, they are fraternal twins, not identical twins.
Cat: Can they do that?
Robbie: Yes, Cat they can. The other thing he wanted was to know if I could help him out at the company for a while now that Trina is home with the babies.
Cat: He offered you a job! Oh Robbie!
Robbie: I am going to meet with him in an hour to talk about the position.
Cat: That is so great, Robbie!
Robbie: Yes, but it is not an acting job.
Cat: It is better than that, do you know how many actors have to take jobs as waiters or busboys while they are waiting for their big break? This could be a real job for real money!
Robbie: I guess you are right, besides I will be working for Beck, and he understands what actors need and want.
Cat: Good Luck!
Cat gives him a quick kiss as he leaves.
Robbie made the drive over to Beck's. He sat in the car for a moment to compose himself, ran a quick comb through his hair and then walked into the building.
Receptionist: Hellos sir may I help you?
Robbie: Yes, I have an appointment with Beck Oliver, my name is Robbie Shapiro.
Receptionist: Of course Mr. Shapiro, just let me call his office.
The receptionist tapped the phone and spoke briefly to someone on the other end.
Receptionist: Someone will be right with you sir.
Robbie: Thank you.
Robbie started looking around the office. He found a product brochure and began to read it.
Tori: Robbie Shapiro is that really you?
Robbie dropped the brochure he was reading and looked up into the smiling face of Tori Vega.
Robbie: Hi Tori, don't tell me you work here too?
Tori: Of course, I have to help out my brother-in-law don't I.
Robbie: Oh that is right, congratulations on becoming an aunt by the way.
Tori: Thanks, you and Cat will have to go see the twins, they are so cute. But first, let's get you set up here. Come on back, Beck is waiting to talk to you.
Robbie: Lead the way!
