Chapter 297\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will,\u201d I promised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the doctor left, Athena and I just sat there for a moment, both of us staring at the ultrasound\u00a0<\/p>\n
pictures of our babies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo,\u201d Athena said softly. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have two babies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you happy about it?\u201d I asked, needing to know what she was feeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m terrified,\u201d she admitted. \u201cBut yes, I\u2019m happy, I think, I don\u2019t know, ask me again when I\u2019m not in\u00a0<\/p>\n
shock.\u201d I leaned over and kissed her forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can do this,\u201d I said. \u201cWe\u2019ll figure it out together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo babies, Tristan,\u201d she said again like she still couldn\u2019t believe it. \u201cTwo cribs, two of everything,\u00a0<\/p>\n
twice the diapers, twice the feedings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwice the love,\u201d I added. \u201cTwice the joy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at me and smiled, a real genuine smile that made my chest feel tight. \u201cYeah,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwice the love.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
We made our way out to the waiting room where Orion and Sarah immediately stood up when they\u00a0<\/p>\n
saw us, the worry on their faces was evident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything okay?\u201d Orion asked, coming over to Athena.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything\u2019s fine,\u201d Athena said, then looked at me with that smile that i love seeing on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShould we tell them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell us what?\u201d Sarah asked, her eyes going between us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pulled out the ultrasound pictures and handed them to Orion. \u201cWe\u2019re having twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion stared at the images, his mouth falling open. \u201cTwins?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwins,\u201d Athena confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 297\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah squealed and threw her arms around Athena, careful not to squeeze too hard. \u201cOh my god,\u00a0<\/p>\n
twins! That\u2019s amazing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1472\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion was still staring at the ultrasound pictures, a huge grin spreading across his face. \u201cI\u2019m going to\u00a0<\/p>\n
be an uncle to twins,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is incredible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUncle times two,\u201d Lily piped up, having heard the commotion. \u201cDoes that mean two babies to play\u00a0<\/p>\n
with?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s exactly what it means,\u201d Sarah told her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily started jumping up and down with excitement while Liam looked confused but happy that\u00a0<\/p>\n
everyone else was happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow are you feeling?\u201d Orion asked Athena, his big brother protectiveness kicking in. \u201cAre you okay?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Is everything really alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m fine,\u201d Athena assured him. \u201cThe doctor said the pain I felt was just normal stretching, nothing to\u00a0<\/p>\n
worry about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you need to take it easy,\u201d I added. \u201cDoctor\u2019s orders, no strenuous activity and lots of rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can do that,\u201d Athena said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We headed back to Orion\u2019s house and the whole drive was filled with excited chatter about the twins.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sarah was already planning a baby shower and talking about how we\u2019d need twice as much of\u00a0<\/p>\n
everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion was grinning like an idiot and kept saying he couldn\u2019t believe he\u2019d have two nieces or nephews\u00a0<\/p>\n
or one of each.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When we got back to the house, Sarah insisted on making a celebration dinner even though we\u2019d just\u00a0<\/p>\n
had the big thank you dinner the night before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is different,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re celebrating the twins and the engagement, this calls for\u00a0<\/p>\n
something special.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While she cooked, Athena and I sat on the couch, her leaning against me with my hand on her\u00a0<\/p>\n
=\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 297\u00a0<\/p>\n
stomach where our two babies were growing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u4f1a14%\u7372\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you really okay with this?\u201d she asked quietly. \u201cWith twins, I mean, that\u2019s a lot more than we\u00a0<\/p>\n
were planning for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m more than okay with it,\u201d I said honestly. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled, scared out of my mind but thrilled.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI keep thinking about how we\u2019re going to manage two babies at once, but\u00a0<\/p>\n
then I remember we\u2019re not doing it alone, we have Orion and Sarah right there, we have each other,\u00a0<\/p>\n
we\u2019ll figure it out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will,\u201d I agreed. \u201cAnd that house has plenty of room for two nurseries if we need them, or we can\u00a0<\/p>\n
put them together, whatever works best.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI like the idea of them sharing a room,\u201d Athena said \u201cAt least when they\u2019re little, I want them to be\u00a0<\/p>\n
close, to always have each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
