Two? Fucking two?!

"Are you ready?" The doctor asked me and I glanced at Nico's worried face once before smiling and taking in a deep breath.

"Yeah." I nodded as my doctor, Gia Monroe looked at the screen of the monitor while Nico held my hand and kissed my forehead in reassurance.

"So, I have good news." Dr. Monroe clapped her hands as we looked at her questioningly.

"I think you'll be needing double of any baby stuff you've bought up till now." She said as Nico frowned in confusion, but then my eyes widened.

"W-what?" I asked, unsure of what she may be implying but then she smiled so wide I thought her face would break.

"Congratulations, you're having twins!" She said excited as Nico's mouth fell open.

"Two? Fucking two?!" He asked exasperated as I smacked his arm and scowled at him.

"I mean, that's-... I'm so fucking happy baby." He pressed his lips to mine in a sweet kiss before pulling away with a dreamy smile on his face.

The doctor told us a few more things, like precautions, what to expect and what not to before we went back home.

Our honeymoon had ended a few days ago and I was 8 weeks along, hence the revelation we were having twins.

I was worried, sure, it would be a bit challenging to take care of two babies at a time but I was also equally ecstatic, and so was Nico. I could see how happy he was because it clearly showed on his face.

"Dove, I think you broke Nico." Matteo looked between me and Nico horrified as we sat at the dining for lunch.

"How so?"

"He's... smiling." Matteo said shocked, as if smiling was a sin when both Nico and I rolled my eyes.

"You want to tell them, or should I?" Nico asked leaning towards me, wiping the sauce of the lasagne off my lips.

"You can go ahead." I gave him the green light as he cleared his throat, grabbing everyone's attention.

"We went to the doctor today." Nico announced as all our friends looked at him expectantly before we both shared a knowing look.

"And we're having twins." He finished and everyone's faces formed huge smiles as they congratulated us.

"I'm going to be an uncle and a father." Stuart said smiling and pecked Adrianna's cheek who was already three months along, and showing off her little baby bump.

I still wasn't showing much of a bump, just that some of my clothes had gotten a little tighter so Nico had taken me shopping a few days ago, and ended up buying me the whole mall.

"You're going to make great parents, I'm sure of it." Jake told us, making my eyes water as a few tears escaped my eyes.

"Shit, did I do something wrong?" Jake looked at me worriedly when Nico sighed, rubbing my back.

"Hormones. Don't worry about it." Nico said kissing the top of my head as he shushed me, well aware of my recent 'hormones' that made me laugh and then cry and then laugh again, making me look like someone who had escaped an asylum.

"Right. Before I forget, we have a meeting in an hour." Jake reminded Nico who nodded as we all finished lunch and the men had to leave.

"When will you be back?" I asked Nico with a pout, making him sigh as he kissed my lips briefly.

"I'll be back before you know it, hmm? Take care and stay with Adriana. And if anything happens, call me or Jake." He pecked my forehead, looking at me worriedly.

"Okay. I love you." I mumbled when he chuckled.

"I love you too." He whispered before following the boys up to the office as Adriana and I settled in her room.

We had decided to watch a movie and halfway through it, Addy had fallen asleep while I sat pouting like a kid and whipped out my phone.

"Nico..." I whined when he picked up and heard papers shuffling and a door slamming shut before footsteps were heard in the hallway.

The door to the room was slammed open as Nico barged in announced, scaring the living shit out of me.

"What happened? Are you okay?" He stalked towards me, grabbing my face and scanning me for any injuries before I swatted his hands away.

"I'm fine." I said and lifted my arms up in the air like a kid so he'd pick me up.

Clearly, he got the memo and shook his head, picking me up in his arms bridal style before carrying me to our room and laying me down on the bed gently.

"Do you need something baby?" He asked pushing my hair away from my face when I nodded.

"Donuts. And cake. Oh, and cupcakes!" I said excited when he chuckled.

"I'll get those for you, anything else?"

"Can you fuck me? Please?" I asked with big eyes when his own widened.

"Baby, you can't just say things like that to me." He sighed, pulling me between his legs with his back to the headboard of the bed.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because then I'd want to actually fuck you." He stated.

"But I do want you to fuck me." I pouted and heard his chuckle.

"Okay baby, whatever you want, but I have a meeting right now, hmm?" He said when I groaned and looked at him with a sad expression while he looked to be deep in thought.

"Please don't leave me." I mumbled, nuzzling my face in his chest as he got up with me in his arms, carrying me out.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked but he didn't answer, just kept walking, kicking the door of his office open as all eyes fell on us.

Some men I recognized, but others were new as they all averted their gaze immediately while Matteo and Stuart smirked at Nico who sat down on his chair with me in his lap.

"Sleep." He whispered in my ear as I nuzzled my face in his neck, closing my eyes and sighing deeply, I was out like a light within seconds.

"Can I have more, please?" I whined, making grabby hands at the tub of ice cream in Matteo's hands.

"But I haven't had any!" Matteo exclaimed and I huffed.

"And I'm pregnant!" I sassed back when he narrowed his eyes at me.

"I bought this for myself." He stated somewhat proud of himself.

"You put it in my freezer, so it's mine now. Now give." I ordered when he stuck his tongue out at me and was about to make a run for it when he bumped smack into Nico, looking up at him with a sheepish grin.

"Oh, hey there Ace. Didn't see you there." He chuckled nervously as Nico pinned him with a sharp glare that had Matteo grumbling in annoyance.

"Give it to her." Nico ordered and I beamed when Matteo placed the tub of ice cream in front of me and stormed out of the kitchen after flipping us off.

"Thank you, Nico." I pecked my dear husband's cheek as he picked up a spoon, dipping it in the ice cream before holding it out to me.

I ate happily while Nico stood behind me, feeding me the ice cream with his free hand wrapped around my waist and affectionately rubbing my stomach.

"Good?" He asked and I nodded as he put the remaining ice cream back in the fridge before coming over to me and hugging me from behind.

"How are you feeling?" He asked and I shrugged.

"I'm okay, and I- Oh!" I gasped, placing a hand on my stomach as Nico looked at me worried.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" He asked as a smile took over my face.

"The baby just kicked." I said as his own face morphed into a smile and he put his hand on my tummy when I felt the kick again and pouted.

"But it only kicks when you're around." I said when he chuckled, pecking my lips.

"Looks like our baby already has a favourite." He said smugly when I gasped.

"We have two! And one of them likes me better, I know it!" I said crossing my arms over my chest and huffed, making him chuckle.

"Don't worry my love, you'll always be my favourite." He whispered teasingly in my ear before pressing his lips to mine.

He kissed me like a starved man, our tongues fighting each other for dominance as our hands roamed each other's body before a throat was cleared and I pushed Nico away from me.

"Get a fucking room." Jake grunted and I rolled my eyes before beaming at the girl with raven hair entered the kitchen.

"Dove!" She beamed, running over to me and pulling me into a big hug.

"How are you?" She asked and I smiled wide, sticking my tongue out at Jake.

"Your girl friend likes me better than you, Jakey." I said smugly when he rolled his eyes, pulling Liliana, his girlfriend back to him and pecking her temple while she blushed furiously and I 'awed', feeling tears fall down my cheeks.

"Shit, why are you crying baby?" Nico wiped my tears away with his thumb before glaring at Jake.

"What the fuck did you do now?" Nico glared daggers at Jake who looked at us baffled.

"I didn't do anything! I swear!" He defended himself.

"It's okay Nico, I'm just so happy for Jake." I said wiping my face when he sighed and shook his head while Liliana giggled at us.

Just like I had once predicted, Jake actually did have someone he was secretly pining after since childhood, and it just seemed to be Liliana, the girl who used to be his next door neighbour in Catania, Italy, where he spent a big part of his childhood.

And he did take me to the house I asked him to, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Nico was nearly drawn to tears as he gazed at the backyard, probably remembering the same memory Jake was of the last time they were here.

As for me, I was as pregnant as I could get and definitely not handling my hormones like a grown ass woman.

We celebrated Nico's twenty ninth birthday a few days ago, and my bump had gotten considerably bigger now.

But it was adorable watching Nico fuss over me over the smallest of things. He wouldn't let me out of his sight, carried me all around the house and didn't let me leave his side even once.

Not that I minded.

He would even talk to our babies with his hand on my stomach and every night, he would kiss me goodnight, telling me how much he loved me and then placed two kisses on my stomach, telling our babies how much he loved them and that he couldn't wait to hold them in his arms.

Which is why, I'm swearing like a sailor at Nico in the hospital because my water broke, and at first he had refused to take me to the hospital because, and I quote, "I'm not ready to be a father yet, tell them to stay inside."

But a smack from Jake had him back to his senses before he rushed with me to the hospital, and now, I'm cursing him for getting me pregnant in the first place while the doctor laughed at us.

"You idiot! You fucking asshole! Why did you have to get me pregnant?!" I yelled, clutching his hand in a death grip and effectively making him wince.

"Seemed like a good idea at the time." He grumbled but one deadly glare from me had him shutting up immediately.

What felt like hours of gruesome torture was only a few minutes before I heaved a sigh of relief and two simultaneous cries were heard in the room as the nurses smiled and handed us our babies.

"Congratulations, it's a girl and a boy!" Dr. Monroe cheered, making me smile like a creep as I looked at the little boy in my arms stare up at me with the darkest blue eyes I had ever seen, just like Nico's.

We had opted to keep the gender a surprise, hence, the surprise.

"Hey baby." I cooed, brushing my finger across his cheek before Nico loomed over me with our baby girl in his arms as he placed a lingering kiss on my lips.

"I love you, so fucking much." He whispered, a tear falling from his eyes and mixing with mine as I looked at my precious baby girl, who surprisingly had light green hazel eyes.

"My mother's eyes." Nico whispered to me, probably noticing my confusion as a smile took over my face while he stared at the boy in my arms.

"He's got your eyes." I told him and saw him nod with awe written all over his face as he looked back at me.

"Thank you. For this." He gestured to us, to our babies when I nodded, nuzzling my face into him and sighing.

"I love you too Nico." I whispered, feeling complete with my family by my side.

What a ride.
