Rated T - for language otherwise K.

Well, well, well...looks like I surprised ALL of you...

You weren't expecting that?

Good. I'm glad.

Thank you for taking the time to review. I appreciate it!

In this chapter Nick and Jules are right out of the Dr.'s office and sitting with the news of having two babies at once.

They also tell Warrick about it, too.

How will he react? Read on...


He stayed in the room with her as she got herself dressed quickly... although they didn't say a word to each other. They walked out of the OBGYN office hand and hand and still no words were spoken. Nick opened the passenger's side door for her and she hopped inside and she couldn't even manage to get a "thank you" out as he closed the door and went around the to the other side.

Both of them were dumbfounded.

Nick started his engine but didn't put his truck in reverse. He kept it in park and stared straight ahead.

Jules stared the same way.

Finally, Jules looked over at Nick and Nick looked over at Jules and at the very same time they said the very same thing.

"TWO?" they said in unison.

They both squished up their face as if to say "what the fuck?"

"Nick, seriously? Twins? No, seriously…did I hear that right? Sseeeerriouslllly?" she repeated herself with disbelief.

"I heard it. I heard the same thing…so yes…seriously. We are having twins," he said and then started to laugh.

Then, he laughed harder. He suddenly became completely overjoyed.

Jules didn't laugh back.. She stared out into nothingness.

"How can I be having TWINS?" she said already knowing it was a silly question.

"How? Well, there's a one in two hundred fifty chance if they're identical…and fraternal twins are one out…" he said but Jules cut him off.

"I KNOW…that was a rhetorical question," she smirked.

Nick reached his hand over and touched her shoulder.

"It's gonna be all right, Darlin'…you're just scared…I can see it," he soothed her with his soft, southern, voice.

Jules looked into his eyes and she stared into them a minute before she began.

"Scared? No…no, I'm not scared, Texas, …I am absolutely, fall on the ground, out of my mind, petrified…HOW will I handle TWO babies at once?" she looked at him with pleading eyes. "I, I, I've got my hands full with Emma and she is an ANGEL…now two more? I can't even believe this….oh my God…" she put her hands over her face and then looked back over at him. "I am so happy and so freakin' scared I don't know whether to run around in circles or curl up in a ball!" she bit her lip and her brow furrowed.

"Hey, hey, I know you're afraid but that's just because it was such a shock, Honey, trust me…you will be great. You will do fine…and hey, you can always call my mom…she did it with Lynn and Laurie AND she had my older two brothers too! Not to mention the others that followed…especially the best of them all…ME… at the end," he grinned.

He was trying to joke with her to lighten her worries.

"I don't know how the woman did it, Nicky, MY GOD TWINS!" she screamed the last three words into her hands.

Suddenly she too started to laugh.

And, without warning, Jules leaned over grabbed his face in both her hands and kissed him with deep emotions.

Finally coming up for air, Jules smiled wide and with tears filling her eyes she whispered to him.

"I am having your babies, Cowboy…I am having two more of YOUR babies," she smiled and her heart swelled with emotion.

Jules couldn't think of anything more amazing in her life.

Suddenly the shock began to wear off and the fear of it began to fade. And just as shocked and afraid as she was only minutes ago was just how excited and thrilled as she suddenly became.

Nick smiled at her with his 'Nick Stokes' smile and looked directly into her eyes.

"NOW…we gotta wait to see what they are…got any names yet, Sunshine?" he laughed and kissed her again.


Driving along Charleston Boulevard, heading back to the Crime Lab, Jules called Warrick but he was unable to answer since he was in court. She shot him a text.

Ultrasound = Gr8

Babies look fine.

Call me

Nick hadn't even pulled into the parking lot of the LVPD when Warrick called back.

Jules immediately put him on speaker so that Nick could share the news too.

Without even saying hello to her he shot right to the question that was making him crazy for ten minutes before he could get out of the courtroom.

"WAS THAT A TYPO, BABY GIRL?' he asked frantically.

"Whatever do you mean, Big Brother?" she teased.

"You wrote BABIES…as in PLURAL," he said sounding out of breath.

"NOT a typo, Boss," Nick yelled out, "I am the MAN…TWO IN ONE SHOT…how do ya like THAT!" he said proudly.

Jules rolled her eyes and laughed at him.

"Dayummm, Nick! You got two mini Stokes in one oven? Shiiit….I'm getting' the hell outta Vegas, man!" the two men laughed loudly before adding, "…better you than me!" causing them to laugh even more.

"Oh shuttt uppp both of you!" Jules laughed.

"My God, when are the shorties due?" Warrick asked smiling wide.

"We're looking at the end of December," she told him.

Nick yelled over, "I'm hoping for a tax break times two!"

Warrick laughed loudly…"Good luck with that!" he said before pausing, "Wow, this is great news, Baby Girl…Nick, man, congratulations," he said thrilled.


Their smiles remained even after they hung up with Warrick.

And, before they got out of Nick's truck, they looked at each other again and laughed.

"Two?" she said.

"Two," he replied.

"TWO?" she cocked her head and squinted.

"Two," he closed his eyes as he nodded exaggeratedly slow.

"Okay, well then, Stokes, then I think we are in some serious trouble now…" she said grimacing.

"Yeah? Why's that?" he furrowed his brow confused.

"Looks like you and I…we're gonna be out numbered," she laughed.

Nick shook his head back and forth and rubbed his hand down his face.

"Ya know something', you're right…

…we're screwed."
