Memories Drifted Into Soft Silence by Kyx Frost 297

“We will,” I promised. 

After the doctor left, Athena and I just sat there for a moment, both of us staring at the ultrasound 

pictures of our babies. 

“Two,” Athena said softly. “We’re going to have two babies.” 

“Are you happy about it?” I asked, needing to know what she was feeling. 

“I’m terrified,” she admitted. “But yes, I’m happy, I think, I don’t know, ask me again when I’m not in 

shock.” I leaned over and kissed her forehead. 

“We can do this,” I said. “We’ll figure it out together. 

“Two babies, Tristan,” she said again like she still couldn’t believe it. “Two cribs, two of everything, 

twice the diapers, twice the feedings.” 

“Twice the love,” I added. “Twice the joy.” 

She looked at me and smiled, a real genuine smile that made my chest feel tight. “Yeah,” she said. 

“Twice the love.” 

We made our way out to the waiting room where Orion and Sarah immediately stood up when they 

saw us, the worry on their faces was evident. 

“Everything okay?” Orion asked, coming over to Athena. 

“Everything’s fine,” Athena said, then looked at me with that smile that i love seeing on her face. 

“Should we tell them?” 

“Tell us what?” Sarah asked, her eyes going between us. 

I pulled out the ultrasound pictures and handed them to Orion. “We’re having twins.” 

Orion stared at the images, his mouth falling open. “Twins?” 

“Twins,” Athena confirmed.

Sarah squealed and threw her arms around Athena, careful not to squeeze too hard. “Oh my god, 

twins! That’s amazing!”

Orion was still staring at the ultrasound pictures, a huge grin spreading across his face. “I’m going to 

be an uncle to twins,” he said. “This is incredible.” 

“Uncle times two,” Lily piped up, having heard the commotion. “Does that mean two babies to play 

with?” 

“That’s exactly what it means,” Sarah told her. 

Lily started jumping up and down with excitement while Liam looked confused but happy that 

everyone else was happy. 

“How are you feeling?” Orion asked Athena, his big brother protectiveness kicking in. “Are you okay? 

Is everything really alright?” 

“I’m fine,” Athena assured him. “The doctor said the pain I felt was just normal stretching, nothing to 

worry about.” 

“But you need to take it easy,” I added. “Doctor’s orders, no strenuous activity and lots of rest.” 

“I can do that,” Athena said. 

We headed back to Orion’s house and the whole drive was filled with excited chatter about the twins. 

Sarah was already planning a baby shower and talking about how we’d need twice as much of 

everything. 

Orion was grinning like an idiot and kept saying he couldn’t believe he’d have two nieces or nephews 

or one of each. 

When we got back to the house, Sarah insisted on making a celebration dinner even though we’d just 

had the big thank you dinner the night before. 

“This is different,” she said. “We’re celebrating the twins and the engagement, this calls for 

something special.” 

While she cooked, Athena and I sat on the couch, her leaning against me with my hand on her

“Are you really okay with this?” she asked quietly. “With twins, I mean, that’s a lot more than we 

were planning for.” 

“I’m more than okay with it,” I said honestly. “I’m thrilled, scared out of my mind but thrilled.” 

“Me too,” she admitted. “I keep thinking about how we’re going to manage two babies at once, but 

then I remember we’re not doing it alone, we have Orion and Sarah right there, we have each other, 

we’ll figure it out.” 

“We will,” I agreed. “And that house has plenty of room for two nurseries if we need them, or we can 

put them together, whatever works best.” 

“I like the idea of them sharing a room,” Athena said “At least when they’re little, I want them to be 

close, to always have each other.”
