Every minute of every day I just felt eternally grateful. Being able to witness the journey of Kristen's pregnancy and at the same time experiencing Noelle's development... It was truly magical. It's all I could have ever asked for in life. We took a picture of Kristen's twin bump every week to keep up with the progress. I'd make a photo book out of it later. That was one of my ideas for a wedding gift. "Babe, I think I might actually start working on a cookbook." Kristen said out of the blue one day when we were looking for twin strollers online. "You see, now that I'm pregnant again I won't be returning to acting for a while. I mean I'll be off the grid for at least a few years with three toddlers at home. A book would be a cool alternative source of income for us, don't you think?" "Uhm, yeah, sure baby. If you have fun doing something like that... I'm sure many people would be interested in it" I smiled at her reassurinly.
Kristen's POV:
I decided that publishing a cookbook these days definitely needed some promotion. I really didn't want it to flop, so I contacted Howard Stern and asked if I could sit down with him to announce the book on his show. A few calls and three weeks later, I was invited to his studio. "So Kristen, it's so nice to have you here again. First of all congratulations on your engagement!!!" Howard greeted me. "Thanks, man." I smiled proudly.
After some more small talk, he started: "So I heard that you have some other big news that you wanna share with us today, am I right? Do you wanna reveal what project you have coming up?" "Sure! Well, I'm working on a cookbook right now with some of my favorite creations in it." "Wow, that sounds great. Any special direction you plan on going with the recipes?" Howard asked. "Yeah, I'm a vegetarian so obviously it's only gonna be meat-free recipes. And generally it's gonna be focusing on conscious eating. Healthy and seasonal ingredients are gonna be central to most of the creations." "All right, that sounds exciting, we're definitely gonna stay tuned for that!" Howard said. "Thanks, it's gonna be really cool, I'm sure." I responded. "Anything else you'd like to share with your fans tonight? Your baby boy and Rob are fine, I hope?" "Yeah, they are, thank you for asking. Noelle is gonna turn one year old in a few weeks, can you believe it?" "Gee, that's insane!! So Rob once told me when he was on the show years ago that he'd like to have a few kids, any plans on further pursuing that wish?" Howard questioned, smirkingat me. I must have blushed. Guess that's the opportunity to proclaim the news... I took a deep breath in and simply said: "There's actually a reason I'm wearin' these baggy clothes tonight." I couldn't hide my smile any longer at this point. Howard thought I was kidding at first. "Naaaah!" He said, then adding,"Wait, are you for real?!" "Yup, I guess I might as well address this now before rumors start circling... We're having twins." I proclaimed. "Get outta here!! No way." Howard laughed. "You really want proof, don't you?" I responded, rolling my eyes at him jokingly. I took off my hoody to prove it to him:

"OH MY GOD!!! YOU WERE ACTUALLY SERIOUS! WOW!!CONGRATULATIONS!" He shouted. "Dang, how far along are you??" "Only three months..." I said sheepishly. "Wooow, Rob is one hell of a baby maker I guess..."
