A/N New chapter with a big surprise!

"Elisabeth, why did you ask us to come here urgently?" Sophie asked apprehensively "Did something show up in the amnio test?"

Nate and Sophie came for the test ten days ago and then they patiently waited for the results. It had been a long wait. Both of them were nervous and the rest of the team wondered why Nate and Sophie kept snapping at everyone, even their poor client of the week. Finally they explained what could the amnio test show and what kind of complications the baby could have. The three younger members understood, and like a real family they gave them support. When the phone called arrived, they got a bit worried when the doctor told them to come as soon as they could to the studio.

"First of all; relax. The test didn't show any genetic complication or defects."

Sophie visibly relaxed. "Thank God" she smiled and tighten her hold on Nathan's hand.

He was more relax too but he knew the doctor had some other information. "It showed something, though"

"Yes, that's why I wanted to do another ultrasound."

"Elisabeth! Would you stop being so enigmatic!" Sophie playfully snapped.

The doctor just chuckled. "Just get change and I will show you. Just don't worry, everything is fine"

Soon Sophie found herself lying again on the medical examiner table with the gel on her womb and the doctor passing the probe over it.

"Okay, this is the fetus we saw the last time. It's growing nicely. Full ten weeks now." She moved the probe "And here is its companion that was hiding the last time" she smiled.

"Wait? What?" Nate asked shocked. "Companion? As in two of them?"

"Yep, the HGC levels were a bit high but I didn't think much about it, but then the amnio showed two distinctive DNA patterns. They are fraternal but not identical."

Sophie was still in shock. "How is this possible? I was taking birth control pills! Okay one baby, but two?"

"It can happen."

"Nate, I'm so going to kill you!" she turned towards the man.

"Hey, it's not my fault!" he tried to defend himself.

"Of course it is!" she shouted back "You and your super sperm. Now I have to give birth not to one but two babies!"

"Sophie, relax please" Nate tried to calm her down.

"Now we'll need two of everything. Then double shifts, double changing diapers, double breast feeding…" she started rambling panicking.

Nate grabbed her hands and made her look into his eyes. "Sophie, relax"

She took a big breath and finally started thinking more clearly. "How come you're so calm?"

He shrugged "One baby, two babies. I don't think it makes much of a difference now."

Doctor Elisabeth Stone watched their interaction amused. "Would you like to know the sex of the babies?"

Sophie and Nate exchanged glances.

"What do you think?" Sophie asked with an eyebrow raised.

"You know I'm a control freak. I'd prefer knowing now so we can everything prepared, but if you want to keep it a surprise…"

"Nah, I would like to know too. It will make the shopping easier." She smirked.

"Of course it will" Nate teased her. They both turned towards the doctor. "So?"

Elisabeth created a bit of suspense but then said. "One of each: a girl and a boy!"

"Really?" now that the shocked had passed, Sophie was actually beaming for the news.

"See, you couldn't decide if you'd have preferred to have a boy or a girl, so I gave you one of each. What more do you want?" Nate smirked.

Sophie glared at him. "You're not off the hook yet!"

"Well, now that this is out of the way, you can schedule your next appointment in six weeks. A pregnancy with twins it's slightly different. You'll have to be more careful. I will leave you so leaflets to read. If you need anything or you think something is wrong, you call me immediately, okay?"

Sophie nodded and after she got changed, they said their goodbyes to the doctor and left the studio.

"So, who is going to tell the others?"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Twins?" Hardison shouted after spitting his orange soda on the kitchen counter. "Is this a sick joke?"

"Nope, I've got two babies in here" Sophie patted her stomach. "You can all blame Nate, that's what I'm doing" she pointed at the mastermind who kept at the back hiding from the others.

"I think it's cool" Parker exclaimed. "Two is better than one. It's like diamonds, the more the better"

Eliot shook his head. "There's something wrong with you." He turned towards the couple. "Well double congratulations, then!" he smiled and hugged the grifter.

"Yeah," Hardison went to give her a hug too. "Just, no more than two. If another comes out, send it back."

She smirked. "I hope that was the only surprise"

"So," the hacker asked "are they two mini grifters or two mini masterminds?"

"You mean mini thieves!" Parker intervened.

"They are actually their babies so it's griters and masterminds. But I'm already saying, I'll teach these two how to fight. Everyone should be able to defend themselves."

"Pff… hitting is so boring. I mean can you imagine how fun it will be to teach them how to rappel, crawl inside vent shafts or jump down a lift?"

Sophie and Nate shared a panicked look. Note to themselves: no leaving the babies alone with Parker for a very long time!

"Well?" the hitter urged them.

Sophie smirked wanting to tease the three a bit longer. "It's a girl and a boy" she finally told them.

"Yes, I won!" Hardison throw his fist in the air.

"Technically nobody won, since there's one of each" Eliot retorted back. " The bet is off!"

"Did you guys bet on the sex of the baby?" Nate asked shocked.

"Of course, 50-50 chance." Eliot shrugged. "If there had been something wrong with the baby, of course all bets were off."

"We also bet on the date of birth" Parker added.

"But we need to have more people participating. For now there's us three, Cora and Sterling"

"Wait? Sterling?" Nate shouted back.

"Yep," the hacker nodded. "Took his money right away, I didn't really trust him. We're still waiting for you to tell Tara. I'm sure she would like to be involved too"

"Tara is coming over next week" Sophie informed them.

"She is?" Nate fell out of the sky.

"I've called her yesterday. Asked her to come for a girl's night out, so I can ask her about helping us out when I won't be able to be in the cons."

Nate nodded. "Wait? What do you mean by girl's night out?" he asked concerned.

"Oh, sush Nate" she patted his cheek playfully.

"As in clubbing? A quite meal in the restaurant? Please, don't tell me strip clubs!"
