{ Tatum }

I woke up with Ashton kissing my head, then making sure I was covered back up. I slowly peeled my eye open and watched him pull on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. As he turned around to grab his phone, he paused when he saw I was awake,

"Sorry baby. I didn't mean to wake you" he frowned,

"It's fine. I need to get up. I'm hungry" I laughed,

"Want me to make you something? I just have an interview in like 15 minutes" he stepped to me, pushing a stray piece of hair that fell from my bun behind my ear,

"I can make myself breakfast bub" I laughed, "Now, do you want anything? I'll bring it downstairs to you"

"I'm okay" he smiled and helped me from bed,

"Feeling okay?" he questioned as I paused,

"Yeah. Just got a tad dizzy but I'm fine" I promised,

****

I got and got dressed. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and I have an appointment today. Ashton's pretty upset he can't go to any of them now.

Just before I left, I walked downstairs where Ashton was. He had his back to me while he was on his computer with his headphones on.

I walked up behind him and draped my arms over his shoulders with my chin on his shoulder. He quickly pulled his headphones off and turned his head,

"You leaving?" He pecked my lips,

"Yeah. I should be back by one" I smiled,

"Alright. Uh, the boys and girls wanna zoom call tonight" he told me,

"Sounds good" I laughed and kissed him once more, "Love you"

"Love you too. Be safe"

****

"Okay Tatum," Dr. Stevens spoke, putting gloves on, "I'm gonna have you pull your shorts just to below your stomach then hold your shirt up" she instructed.

I nodded and laid back and did as she asked. She then put the cold gel on my stomach and moved the wand,

"I'm sorry your husband can't come. With this Coronavirus we just have to be cautious" she sighed,

"Don't worry. We completely understand" I assured. She nodded then turned my attention to the screen,

"Everything is looking good" she hummed, "Baby A is a little bigger than Baby B right now" she laughed,

"Are they fraternal or identical?" I questioned,

"You see how there's two of everything- sac, placenta. They are fraternal" she nodded. I smiled even tho you couldn't tell because of my mask.

She cleaned my stomach off then sat me up,

"Let me go grab your photos. I'm going to start giving you three of them. It's good for baby books" she winked. I thanked her and she left the room.

****

I got home and bounced through the door, startling Ashton who was making himself a sandwich,

"Hey baby" he turned and pecked my lips, "Are my children okay?"

"Your children?" I quirked an eyebrow, "I'm the one carrying them bitch" I joked. Ashton laughed and offered me a bite of his sandwich, which I gladly took.

I grabbed my purse and pulled the photos out and laid them on the counter. Ashton cleaned his hands then picked them up,

"We got three of them?" He questioned as his eyes scanned them,

"Yeah. One for each baby book then one for us" I smiled, leaning my head on his arm,

"So are they fraternal I'm guessing?"

"They are" I laughed,

"I'm really happy about them, even if it was kinda unexpected" Ashton wrapped his arm over my shoulders and held me to his side,

"I mean we never really tried to prevent it" I joked,

"That's true" Ashton giggled then moved me to a chair and made me some lunch,

"Do you think we can tell our friends tonight? I just don't think I can hold it in any longer" Ashton slid a plate to me,

"Yeah. I think we can tell them"

****

"I miss everyone!" Michael spoke as soon as everyone was in the zoom call,

"Miss you too mate" Calum laughed. I smiled and leaned back on the couch, resting against Ashton. I was not feeling the best tonight,

"You okay?" Ashton whispered. I nodded and patted his leg,

"Earth to Ash and Tatum! You all haven't said anything yet" Luke laughed,

"Yeah! Talk" Crystal smiled,

"Hi guys" I waved.

"Everyone holding up?" Sierra asked as Petunia entered the frame,

"I'm bored as hell" Calum groaned, "So bored that Roy and I literally repainted the kitchen"

"We're literally doing all yard work" Luke nodded,

"I made a garden" Ashton grinned proudly. He's literally put so much work into that garden.

Everyone talked and caught up more. Ashton patted my arm and raised his eyebrow. I nodded and Ashton got up, slyly sneaking back with one of the ultrasound photos from today,

"Hey people" Ashton spoke, getting everyone's attention,

"Yeah?" Michael questioned,

"Tatum went to the doctor a few weeks ago and they gave us some pictures of stuff. Does this look normal to you?" He said and held the photos up.

Crystal and Sierra screamed immediately,

"Wait what?" Luke questioned as Ashton put the pictures down,

"Tatum's pregnant dumbass!" Sierra hit his arm excitedly,

"Hold up!" Calum called out, "Was I looking at that right? Was there two of them?"

"I was wondering the same thing!" Crystal beamed,

"There are two. We're having twins" I confirmed,

"This is so cool! Does your mom know?" Michael was excited now that he knew what was going on,

"Yeah" Ashton laughed, "We've been getting packages of baby stuff from her since"

It was true. Anne had sent us so much already,

"Does this mean the drum room is getting cleaned out?" Luke laughed,

"Yeah" Ashton sighed, "Drums have already been moved to the basement"

"Well we're happy for you guys" Sierra smiled, "Let us know if you need anything"

"Yeah seriously. I know you guys probably don't want to go out with this Covid. If you want us to go get groceries for you so you don't expose yourselves, let us know" Crystal added,

"We appreciate it. But I think we're good. We're taking precautions. We're wearing masks and we've been wiping groceries down and stuff" I smiled,

"Okay, now the important question" Michael spoke, "Who's going to be godparents?"
