Hello, everyone! I know it's been a while since I've updated. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post this, but I've had some computer problems. Finally I'm able to post the chapter.

Lauren couldn't keep the smile off her face as she left the hematology office she worked in. She had found out last night but hadn't told Chin yet, and now she was going to.

It seemed like the drive home took longer than usual as she made her way through the rush hour traffic. When she finally did arrive home, Chin wasn't there yet.

How was she going to tell him? Should she come right out with it as soon as he got home? She could wait until later, after they had dinner and tell him then. Or she could even tell him while they were having dinner.

If you can keep it a secret for that long, Lauren told herself, knowing she wasn't good at holding in news as exciting as this was.

She changed out of her scrubs and put on a maroon dress. That morning Chin had said that he would be taking her to a fancy restaurant for dinner that evening. Lauren now decided that would be the perfect opportunity to tell him.

When Chin arrived home and kissed his wife, Lauren had a very hard time keeping the news to herself. She wanted to tell him very badly, the words on the tip of her tongue, but she managed to hold the secret to herself.

"So what's the special occasion?" Lauren asked her husband as they pulled up to a restaurant that was a bit on the expensive side. It wasn't somewhere they went everyday.

Chin turned to look at her with a smile before shrugging as he got out of the car.

"So that's how it's going to be?" Lauren questioned and shook her head but she couldn't keep the grin off her face.

Chin simply kept the same expression on his face as they walked into the restaurant, not giving anything away.

"Really, Chin, what's the occasion?" Lauren questioned when they were seated. She couldn't take not knowing much longer and she didn't want to tell Chin until she found out what the occasion was.

"Does there have to be an occasion?"

Lauren leaned forward slightly, sending him a questioning expression. "You tell me. Why?" Even though she had something very important she needed to tell him, she wanted to find out what Chin had planned.

Chin shrugged again, leaning back against the chair as he crossed his arms with a smile still on his face. "It's Friday, the first one in a while when we're both not working."

Even though Lauren nodded, she knew her husband and she could tell there was something he wasn't telling her. "Alright. I guess I'll accept that."

"Why? Do you think there's something else?"

"Is there something else?"

Chin leaned towards his wife and said, "I wanted to tell you I think it's time we go on a real honeymoon. Not just another island. What do you think?"

"I think it's a great idea," Lauren stated, now knowing Chin's reason for taking her to that restaurant. But she had something she needed to tell him as well, so she continued, "I have something to tell you also."

"Okay," Chin said, prompting Lauren to continue.

Taking a deep breath as a smile spread across her face, Lauren announced, "I'm pregnant." Then she watched as a smile to match hers appeared on her husband's face.

"Really?"

Lauren nodded as she continued to sport a grin on her face. "Yes, really."

Chin reached for Lauren's hands and held them in his own. Their eyes locked as they stared back at each other, their gazes filled with love. After what seemed like such a long time, they were finally going to be parents.

Kono, Catherine, Mary, Lauren, Grace, Willow, and Serenity all accompanied Kono when she went to find her wedding dress, just like they did for the previous weddings in their family. Kono was looking for something with long sleeves so she could hide the scar on her arm that was left when the wound Meredith gave her healed.

Serenity felt guilty when she heard Kono say she was looking for long sleeves. It was her and her sister Kono was protecting when she received the nasty cut on her arm. She couldn't help the guilt she felt.

She walked closer to Kono so she could apologize. With her eyes holding a bit of sorrow, she said, "Auntie Kono? I'm sorry. Meredith never would've hurt you if it wasn't for me."

Kono turned away from the dress she was looking at so she could face Serenity with serious eyes to reflect her words. "I don't want to hear you talk like that, honey. I would get my other arm cut up if that's what it took to protect you."

Serenity smiled at Kono's words and she didn't feel as guilty after the reassurance. She thought of Kono as an older sister and she wanted to make sure she wasn't angry. "Alright. I just thought you were mad."

"Of course not." Wanting to change the subject to something with a happier tone, Kono asked, "Hey, what do you think of this?"

"I like it," Serenity commented as she looked at the dress. "It's pretty."

The girls spent the rest of the day shopping and Kono was able to find a dress. When they finally sat down to eat after a long day of walking around stores, Lauren said she had something to tell everyone. With a smile on her face and her hands resting on her stomach, she announced, "Twins. Chin and I are expecting twins."

Between that announcement and Kono's wedding, there was plently to talk about for the rest of the day.
