A/N: Alright everyone this, and the next chapter, are very short. This one is just a stepping stone and I am sorry I don't have more for you all. Hopefully I'll have more soon. I'm trying to write more often than once every 2 months but dang it, its not that easy finding time!
CONCERNS
"What are you thinking about?"
"Honestly," Sam asked. "I'm thinking about work."
"Sam," Janet sighed. "We're supposed to be shopping for the twins. You know? Looking at girly clothes and the last of the furniture that you need. Why are you thinking about work?"
"Because I can't help it Jan," Sam sighed as she touched a bright green onesie. "I can't help but think about what I'm supposed to do after the girl's are born. What does that mean for my posting? What if the girls are like me? What if someone decides that instead of coming after me they go after them for these supposed powers? Does that mean they'll never be safe on Earth? Will we have to live on Eleftheria forever? I just –"
"Oh Sam you can't think about it that way. We don't know anything yet. Right now we have to take it one day at a time."
"Sometimes that's easier said than done," Sam sighed.
"Well then let's change the subject," Janet offered quickly. "You haven't really said much since we confirmed that the twin's are both girls. How are you feeling about that?"
"Relieved actually. I would be just as happy if they were boys of course; but, this is the first time in the entire pregnancy where everything I thought I knew wasn't completely turned upside down. It's not much, but it's reassuring all the same."
"I can certainly understand that," Janet smiled. "So, have you and Jack had any time to think about names?"
"He's been throwing names out for a while now," Sam paused as she pretended to look at some shoes before she put them back on the shelf. "I've been so busy I haven't had much time really. And we go back in a week, I'm not sure when I'll really get around to it." Sam continued to move around the displays, looking at clothes and ignoring Janet's knowing look. No matter how far she was along in the pregnancy Sam wasn't completely confident that Chaos wouldn't do something to one or both of her children. That left Sam feeling on edge and less excited than she deserved. Worse, everyone knew it.
