"Hand over two hundred!" Crew shouts victoriously. Harry groans, throwing his head back.

'Stupid monopoly' Harry thinks to himself. He throws 200 hundred monopoly dollars at Crew with a playful scowl on his face. Crew bursts out laughing.

"That's what you get when you land on my house!' Crew tells him.

"Well you're currently living in my house so where's my two hundred dollars?" Harry questions him with his hands on his hips, raising his eyebrows. Crew looks at him and shakes his head. A smile comes on his face watching Harry.

"You love me, I get to live here for free!" Crew argues back at him. Harry lunges at him going for his sides, tickling him. Crew busts out laughing struggling to get free. Harry keeps on tickling him through it. After being tickled for a minute Crew draws in a deep breath and yells. "Ok, Ok stop, have mercy!"

"No, what do you say," Harry shouts, shaking his head still tickling Crew.

"I love you, please, I'm your kid!" Crew shouts going through all the answers in one breath. Harry stops tickling him and collapses on the floor with Crew going down beside him. You can hear in the air Crew taking deep breaths and Harry panting.

"I love you, too." Harry says, looking beside him to Crew.

"Yeah, Yeah." Crew struggles to get out, still panting. Crew smiles at Harry and in unison they both burst out laughing together. They laugh together for a few minutes until they both come down from their laughing fit.

A ringing fills the air suddenly from Harry's phone. Harry heaves a breath before getting up from the floor where they were playing monopoly. He heads to his phone before answers.

"Hello," Harry questions. Crew looks at his dad answering the phone to see who it is.

Something being said on the phone gets Harry in panic mode because he jumps and starts rushing through the house looking for things.

"Yes, I'm on my way!" Harry shouts into the phone. He hangs up not long after and turns to look at Crew. "Your siblings are on the way!" Harry tells him.

A smile breaks out on Crew's face from joy, "Really?"

"Really." Harry assures him and sounds like he's assuring himself on the matter too.

Crew claps and hurries out of the run shouting, "Okay let's go, get the diaper bag, the car seats, everything we need!"He shouts as he's running around the house randomly.

Coming into the hospital room quietly, Harry nervously chews on his lip. He picks his head up and see's Arlo with two babies on her chest. 

"Hello," He whispers out into the silence.

Arlo looks up and her face lights up. She waves him over and kisses each baby's head. "Hey Harry, come over here." She looks up at him and smiles. Harry smiles back and kisses her forehead.

"How are you?" Harry asks her.

"I'm good, a lot better than expected I think." Arlo tells Harry before motioning over to the babies on her chest. "Do you want to hold them?"

Harry's face lights up and he nods. "Yes please."

He gently gets his hand under one of the babies and lifts them carefully onto his chest, afraid he's going to drop them.

"Which one is which?" Harry whispers to Arlo staring at the baby on his chest with love on his face. He strokes his hand down the babies back before holding his hand on their neck and rocking them.
