"Alright Tex, how far along are you?" Doc asked as they enter the room.
"A little over two months I think" she said as she sat on the exam table as Doc mentioned her to do while Church lent angst the wall near the door.
"Alright then we showed get a good picture." he said. "Ok Tex, lay down and lift up your shirt."
"And do what?" Church asked as Tex laid down. Doc pulled over a machine with a screen.
"Don't worry Church. This is all persevere." he said. Tex didn't seem worried so she pulled her shirt up to rest under her breast. "Ok, I'm going to put this gel on so the ultrasound will work right."
"Wait a minute. Our base has an ultrasound?" Church asked thinking of all the other things the base could use besides it.
"Yes, every base does." Doc answered. "That way even someone who has no medical practice can find and remove a bullet for a teammate." he said as he put the gel on Tex and started to move the mouse thing around. "There we go." he said stopping and pointing to the screen. "That is your baby, and there is the other."
"Other?" both Tex and Church asked.
"Yes, your having twins." Doc informed them. "Cognations." The room fell into an unbearable silence. All that could be hear was the sound of two heart beats coming from the ultrasound.
"Simmons, where's Grif?" Sarge said as he came over to the maroon solider. "I need him to do something meaningless that may kill him."
"I don't know sir." he replied. "I haven't seen him all day."
"Grr damn it Grif." he cursed. "Grif. . . Grif!" he called on his radio.
"What?" he yelled back into the mic inside his helmet.
"Where the hell are you?" he demanded.
"I'm on my way to Blue Base. Tucker called and wants me to talk to Sister about something." he reported. "Why?"
"Well turn around, I need you back here to run around so I can see how well my shotgun works." Sarge said.
"I'm not going to be your duck." he yelled. "Really why did he have to hate me. Sure, I has no respect for the guy, but this is kind a why." Grif said to himself as he continued on his way.
"Are you sure?" Church asked.
"Yes, you see this shadow." he said pointing to the screen again. "That's one child and if I move it to the other side. There is the second child." he said.
Church at this point was next to Tex. He looked down at her, he could see the mixed feelings in her eyes of both joy and fear. He didn't know what to say to her. So he didn't say anything. Instead he bent down, kissed her on the check, and smile. True they were planning to try and work everything out with one kid, but they'll find some way to pull it off with two.
"Would you like to know the sexes?" they herd Doc ask.
Church looked at Tex again and she nodded. "Sure why not." he answered.
"Alright lets see. The one on the lift is a girl and the other." he said as he moved the mouse. "She is also a girl."
"Alright Tucker, what's going on this time?" Grif asked when he ran into Tucker outside the base. He and Caboose were working on Sheila.
"I don't know dude." he said as to two left Caboose with their tank and headed inside. "She just wont come out of her room. Both Caboose and me tried and nothing. We were going to ask Tex to see if she can talk to her, but her and Church are still with Doc."
"Alright, just tell me what door is her's." Grif didn't like the sound of that. There weren't many things that upset his sister. She may not be the smartest, but she was strong. The only time he ever see her cry was when their mother left them. He hated to admit it but she was his sister and he did care about her.
"Here we are." Tucker said pointing to the door on the right of them. "I'll be outside with Caboose, who knows how much damage he caused by now." he said. "Radio me if you need anything." Grif gave Tucker a nod as he left. Tucker didn't really want to call Grif over but what could he do? Even though Grif was against it, he and Sister have been seeing each other. Sure it wasn't the normal guy takes girl out to eat, but their dates were special.
Grif looked at the door and sighed. "Sister!" he said as he knocked on the door. "Open up it's Grif."
"Go away!" he heard form the other side.
"You know if you don't let me in I'm just going to brake down the door." he told her. He then heard a small click and door opened slightly. He pushed the door open the rest of the way. He walked in and found Sister climbing back onto the bed and pulled her knees to her chest. He looked around the room. It was gray like the rest of the base with a bed two dressers and a desk. There were a few clothes scattered around and he found that most of them were not her's. He sat on the bed trying to get the taught of Tucker and his Sister rooming together out of his head. "So you going to tell me what's wrong or do I have get Simons here?"
"It's nothing you don't need to have the dork get into it." she said. It wasn't that she didn't like Simons it was just that he used no many big words.
"Does nothing mean something or does nothing mean I should get you chocolate and leave?" He said. She didn't reply. He sighed again. "is it because today is the 13th?" he asked. She nodded. Grif put his arm on his sister shoulders as she started to cry.
