China's POV

I walked to the bathroom as Nath called his mother and sister. Yeah, his family knew about me. Hell, Jess and me had been Skyping and tweeting each other for about three months. And, their mom and I had a lovely video chat about a month back. They were happy about me being pregnant, but we'd never asked them if we could stay with them. Would they turn us away, say I was a fucking whore?

I walked back to the bedroom and found Nathan sitting on the bed, beaming like a fool.

"What's up?" I asked, sitting beside him.

"Babe, mum's thrilled with the idea! She's really excited to meet you and to spoil the little ones. And Jess wants our daughter named after her." He said, chuckling to himself.

"So, they're okay with us staying with them once 'thing 1' and 'thing 2' arrive?"

He nodded. "Yeah, they are! They're already saying they're going into town tomorrow to get things for the babies' room. They're gonna spoil them so much."

"You know, we're going to have to come up with some names soon. We won't be able to call them 'thing 1' or 'thing 2' once they're born." I said jokingly, as I cuddled up to Nath.

"Sure we can! We can dye their hair blue and put on those funny lil jumpers too. It'd be so cute!" He said, smiling.

I playfully hit his arm. "Stop it! I'm being serious."

"Well, do you have any better ideas?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow.

I blushed. "Well, you know that movie, The Exorcist? You know the main character's little girl, Reagan? I kinda like that name. It's unique."

"So you want to name our daughter after a possessed child?" He asked, poking fun at me.

"Yes! Wait, no dammit! I just think it's a pretty name. You don't hear it very often."

Nathan laughed and kissed my cheek. "It's a lovely name. And what about the boy name though?"

I sat there thinking about it for a few moments, stroking my tummy. I rolled around several names. Alex…Chase…Derrick…. Cameron…Charles. Just then one of the babies kicked. I thought the last name again. Charles… I was rewarded with another soft kick. I smiled and took it as a sign.

"What about 'Charles'? It was my grandfather's name." I said. Nathan thought it over.

"Reagan and Charles Sykes; it sounds perfect, babe." He smiled and placed his hand on my stomach, drawing slow patterns with his hand. It was his nightly ritual. I loved it. It always seemed to calm the babies down and help me get some rest.

"I was thinking about middle names as well. Erm, what d'ya think of 'Marie'? I think it'd be pretty, and it's your mom's middle name, right?"

"Yes it is. Reagan Marie Sykes; I like that. It's beautiful." He said with obvious warmth. I sighed as I laid my head against his chest, loving how warm he was.

"What middle name would you give your son?" I asked. He sighed, seeming deep in thought and slipped a finger under the sleeve of the shirt I was wearing to stroke the skin of my shoulder.

"Well, what about Noah, or Anthony? Maximilian maybe?"

I chuckled. "And those wouldn't have anything to do with certain band mates would they?" I asked, teasingly.

He laughed. "Of course not."

"Charles…Noah, Charles…Maximilian, Charles…Anthony." I paused, smiling at the way 'Charles Anthony' rolled off my tongue. Yep, I liked the sound of it.

"Tom will be happy we used his middle name." Nath breathed out as he kissed my hair. I smiled and closed my eyes.

"Yeah, he will."

***Time Lapse April 18th, 2013***

"Sorry for dragging you out Audrey. But I didn't wanna wake Nath up. He's been busting his ass, worrying about me and the kids." I said as my raven-haired friend hopped out of the driver's seat and held the door open for me.

"Don't worry about it. I couldn't sleep anyway."

We each placed our order with the KFC cashier and took a seat at an empty booth.

"Thanks again. The twins kept me up most of the night. They're ready to meet their family." I said, taking a bite of my biscuit.

Audrey chuckled and sipped her drink. "So what d'ya got planned for Nathan's birthday?"

I smiled. "Well, bringing these two butterballs ought to be enough! Just Kidding. I actually got him a "soccer" jersey, and I made him a card."

She "awed" and I rolled my eyes, flipping her off in the process. We both laughed and continued eating our late night meal.

We finished eating and made our way to my truck to head home. As I walked outside, a spasm of pain shot through my body. I gritted my teeth and tried to ignore it. I couldn't be going into labor yet could I? Another sharp pain shot through me. This time I couldn't ignore it. I let out a small cry of pain and well thought out curse. Audrey all but screamed for me to tell her what was wrong. I tried answering her, but all that I could utter were curses and shrieks of pain. Just then I looked down at my pants. They were soaked. Shit, we both knew what that meant. Audrey quickly got me in the truck and started it up, heading to the hospital. Guess Nath's birthday presents were on their way now.
