Jethro POV
Well, the past several weeks have passed by with minimal fuss. Even after the super cleared Kat's place she continues to stay over. The twins are loving all the extra time we've been spending together as a family. If my team suspects anything, they haven't said anything about it. We have them over on most Sunday afternoons for a meal and Kat and Abby have become inseparable. However, I think they know something is up. After all, they're all investigators and Kat's tummy began rounding out about 3 weeks ago. Officially, Ducky is the only one who knows about the baby. So far!
But today is the day, we are telling the girls. Once we tell them, we can tell everyone else about the baby. Kat's 11 weeks and Dr Borelli says everything is progressing nicely. She had only small bouts of morning sickness and Kat has been joking with me constantly that it isn't my child after all the morning sickness she had with the twins was quite violent.
Kat was picking the twins up. They start their summer vacation today and we thought it'd be a perfect way to start the summer. Monday morning, we are heading back to Stillwater for the towns big block party they have every year to celebrate the beginning of summer. Have to talk to Kat yet, but pretty sure we are telling Mickey and Dad too.
Kat POV
Lucy and Zoe climb into the car exhausted after a full day of sports at school. I'm beginning to feel butterflies in the pit of my stomach. What if the girls react badly? What if they don't understand? Maybe I made the wrong decision having another baby with Jethro.
"Hiya mommy, are we still having a special dinner tonight?" Lucy asked as we left the school, heading home.
"We sure are baby. Daddy organised Luigi's to home deliver and we are all going to sit down as a family and have a nice long talk."
"Who's in trouble?" Zoe asked.
"Zoe Louise, no one is in trouble. Unless you have something to tell me now." I ask. Knowing Zoe isn't a troublemaker, but also isn't afraid to fight back.
"Nope, not a thing!" She exclaims and I silently laugh at her silliness. She's definitely a mischievous one. Takes after her father. Definitely!
"School bags and school uniforms in the basement. ASAP!" Jethro yells out as we enter the house. The girls groan all the way, whinging about it. "And quietly please."
"Hi," I say quietly giving him a slight kiss, as he slides his arms around me.
"Hello," he greeted me after a another kiss. "How was your day?"
"Not too bad, you?" I ask quietly.
"Better now, but I have bad news. I have to work tomorrow, only a half day. "
"That's ok, invite the team over and we will announce it to them. The twins will know by then."
"You're not cooking!" He demands. "You're supposed to be taking it easy."
"We'll order take out. Pizza?"
"That's fine."

"Ok Daddy, we've eaten. Who's in trouble?" Zoe asked.
"Zoe Louise, I have told you and your mother has told you repeatedly. No one is in trouble." I tell her. "We really don't want you thinking that every time we need to talk to one of you, that someone is in trouble." I tell them both.
"Sorry Daddy, but Mr Neilson says it saves time." Zoe says. I really don't like that man and thank goodness he isn't their teacher next year.
"However, there is something that we wish to talk about." Kat tells them.
"Zoe honey, Lucy honey come and sit between your dad and myself on the sofa." I reach around the girls and put my arms on Kat's. "You guys have probably noticed we've been staying here for a while now. Some things are slowly going to change." She looks at me to let me know it's my turn.
"First off, mummy and you guys are moving in with me so we will all be together."
"Ms. Neeson from school will be renting out our apartment." Kat adds.
"And our family will be getting bigger. Remember when we told you girls about having so much love that we took it and created you two?" They nod the affirmative and Kat smiles at me to continue. "Well since Mommy and Daddy have been spending so much more time together we decided to make you both another sibling."
"Mommy, does this mean you have a baby in your belly?" Lucy asked.
"Yes baby," Kat puts her arms around both the girls. "But, it doesn't mean that we love you guys any less. It just means that there's more love to go around."
"Can it be a brother?" Zoe asked. "Daddy pleaseeeee." She asks dragging out the e.
"Zoe, honey. It's not like take out. We can't give God and order to deliver." Kat adds.
"What's this mean then?" Lucy asks
"It means that just before Santa comes you guys will have a new brother or sister." I supply.
"Yay!" The twins just ran off so excited.
