So here is the deal, because again I have no Christmas chapter for you because this is supposed to be happening in the summer, I feel kind of bad I have nothing for the festivities that is no doubt on your minds. But I'm thinking about putting the next one up for you guys on Christmas day at like midnight. Because I can never sleep on Christmas Eve anyway. I think it comes from trying to stay awake for Santa when I was just a tot, but I digress. Enjoy!

Peace.

She had heard him wrong.

That is what Lindsay had decided, he could not have said that, she was not prepared for this. Neither was Danny.

The two pink lines that had stared up at them in Montana, were not enough now? There had to be that other word too. Why didn't she just wait for Danny to get off of work, if he had been there it would have been easier, if he had been there it would have been different. SHe would have had someone's hand to hold, someone to hug, someone to cry on, someone to do something with.

But she only had her doctor.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Mason," Lindsay shook her head, and resisted the urge to laugh at herself, "Did you say--say twins?" She asked carefully.

"Yes, you can see it there, the embryo has split right there," He circled the place with his pinky, where two white dots had formed, "If you listen carefully you can hear two different heartbeats." He told her smiling, and stripping the gloves off of his hands, and grabbing the towel to wipe away the jelly.

How had her life changed to much in the last few weeks? Wasn't it enough that she would be bringing one new life into the world? Did she really need two to be able to satisfy the man upstairs? And Danny, he wanted kids, but did he want the plural to happen so soon?

Once her stomach was clean she pulled her shirt back down over it, "Do you have any questions Lindsay? Finding out about twins effects some people differently than others."

"No, no questions." She lied, not really knowing how she felt, or if she would make a scene depending on his answers, "I just need to talk to Danny, of course." She said, reaching the door and smiling at him.

"Of course," He repeated, with a tone that told her he knew she was lying to him, "If you think of anything, any questions at all, don't hesitate to call the office, first pregnancies are one of life's greatest joys, but ones that bring the most stress."

She nodded, "Thank you Dr. Mason."

"You are welcome Lindsay. Have a good rest of the day."

It was all Lindsay could do to breathe and walk calmly to her car at the same time, upon reaching it, she couldn't muster the will to pull herself inside, she looked down at her stomach, knowing that underneath her skin were two humans, two humans she and Danny had created, were going to raise, were going to love, were going to play with. It was too much.

Tears pricked her eyes, and she wasn't sure why she was crying, Lindsay had never been a crier, but there she was standing outside her car, still grasping the handle envisioning two blond haired, blue eyed children snuggled with Danny on their couch, and she couldn't help it. It was too beautiful, to beautiful to be true, to beautiful to not want.

"Are you alright?" A woman's voice floated from across the parking garage.

At first Lindsay looked up wondering who she could have been talking to, before she thought she must have looked pretty pitiful, "Oh, me. I'm um--" She wasn't really sure if she was okay or not, it seemed a little early in the pregnancy to be emotional, or did twins work twice as fast?

The woman had paused mid-step, but was now crossing to where Lindsay stood, "Is everything okay?" She asked again, and Lindsay noticed her protruding stomach and wondered if she knew about being emotional.

"Yes, everything is fine. I was just thinking about my babies. I'm having twins." Lindsay said, unconsciously running her hand over her stomach, even though she knew no bump would reside there.

The woman let out a sigh of relief, and placed a hand upon her own stomach, "I thought with the way you were crying that you might have lost yours, that is always a tough thing to go through."

"Oh, no. I was just thinking about what my kids will look like, and I don't know. It made me really happy."

She gave Lindsay a knowing smile, "I'm Ester, Ester Gates."

"Lindsay Messer." She said taking her hand, unable to keep the smile from her face as she said her last name.

"Is this your first pregnancy?"

Lindsay nodded, "Yeah."

"Oh, the first one is always so special. Believe me the others are amazing in their own ways, but there is something about looking at your first baby for the first time ever, it's magical." Her eyes lit up as she spoke, and Lindsay could feel a sense of wonder, and magic floating down around her from how passionately she spoke.

"How many kids do you have?" Lindsay wasn't sure why she felt so comfortable leaning against her car, talking to a stranger, as someone who sees horrors of life day in and day out, but she couldn't bring herself to be cautious around someone who was just motherly.

"This little tyke," She said rubbing her belly affectionately, "Is going to be baby number four."

"I can't imagine having four." But in truth, she was imagining it right then, all of them prefect copies of Danny, but she had to stop because she could feel herself getting worked up again.

"Well you are halfway there." Ester laughed, and it sounded just like a bell ringing, glancing at her watch she sighed, "Oh I'm about to be late, but here," Fishing inside of her purse for a moment, she pulled out paper and pen, "It's my number, and if you want to you can call me about anything concerning pregnancy. By now I am a pro at this, I'll tell you anything and everything all those pregnancy book are to afraid to print." She grinned slyly, and Lindsay was reminded of Syler.

Nodding she accepted the card, and they said their goodbyes.

Climbing into her car, she turned the keys feeling the A/C which had been on high blasting against her arms and giving her goosebumps, but she didn't really care, because now she was not alone in this. She had Danny, but he was just as clueless about kids as she was, calm spread over her and she smiled.

Knowing that knowledgeable or not, she and Danny were in this together.

...bet you didn't see that coming! I'm still undecided, ImaSupernaturalCSI pointed out that everyone is doing girls now, which kind of makes sense cause they had a girl on the show, plus who wouldn't love to see an overprotective Danny. But I am leaning more towards boys, cause come on, what is cuter then a couple of identical bright eyed boys? You can't beat 'em.

Also I know you are probably sick of Bible names by now, but Ester is a name that has always been a name that sounds so motherly and nurturing, and I wanted someone to be there for Lindsay, and plus I want another person to say that I own because I can't have Danny or Lindsay, or even Don and lets face it, that's sad because you know we all want him.

But anyway, read and review people. It feeds my addiction!
