(alright listen i'm a busy person i got a lot to do askdhlfjgllfshfadkgjhd guacamole i know there's a lot of enters for literally no reason, but i always make these with only one braincell left so there's that i guess)

Sophie was in the front passenger seat with Keefe driving. Jolie had refused to go because of what Sophie did, and since Hazel and the rest of the peeps didn't really know Sophie that well, it was just Sophie and Keefe. They were driving to the hospital to know the gender of the baby.

When they arrived, they waited in the waiting room for about half an hour because that's hospitals work. When they were finally admitted to a room, Sophie laid on the "bed" while Keefe sat on the chair.

"What do you think the gender of the baby is?" Sophie asked.

"I'm hoping it's a girl for some reason," Keefe said.

"Really? I hope it's a boy."

"That would be something."

They sat in silence for about twenty more minutes, because, again, that's how hospitals work. There was probably three different world wars going on outside of the room. It was very loud and Keefe got up a couple times to see what the hell was happening. They kept trying to fill the silence with awkward and short conversations, so they eventually just gave up.

After what felt like an eternity, the doctor finally came in. She put the gel-thing on Sophie's stomach, and held up the ultrasound thing. Keefe described it as looking like a handheld vacuum. The doctor put the footage onto the TV that every hospital room seems to have for some reason.

After five minutes, the doctor finally came to a conclusion.

"You have twins!"

Sophie couldn't believe it. "Are they boys or girls?" She said at the same time Keefe said, "What gender are they?" Sophie tried to take deep breaths, but she could hardly sustain her excitement. "Two girls," The doctor announced. Sophie smiled and started crying. Keefe went to comfort her. She was so happy that this was finally happening, but also kinda afraid of the future.

The drive home was overwhelming. They were trying to get home fast because Keefe had to drive Hazel and Jolie to some sort of festival with a ton of different stores to promote their Christmas merch (really random in Sophie's opinion). They were just there for the free stuff, though. Sophie didn't want to go, so they were trying to rush home. The hospital was very far from the castle, almost an hour drive. There was a lot of traffic, and Jolie and Hazel wanted to be at the festival on time. Sophie then realized that since she was royalty, she could do what she wanted. After that, they got back home a lot quicker.

When they arrived, Keefe had some things to take care of before they left. Sophie walked into the nearest living room. Jolie and Hazel were in there. Jolie was shoving a paper into Hazel's fast against her will.

"YOU'RE GONNA MEMORIZE THE ENTIRE BEE MOVIE SCRIPT AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT," Jolie shouted. Sophie sighed and sat on a nearby chair. Jolie immediately shat up and looked away. "She was holding me hostage. Kind of," Hazel said. "Sounds like something she would do," Sophie said. Jolie scowled at her.

Nico burst into the room with Will and a young girl. "We adopted a child," Nico said. Hazel's mouth fell open. "I'm sorry, what?" Jolie asked. Sophie just stared at them. There was silence for a minute, and then Will said, "Guacamole," really dramatically. "Yeah, I don't know about that. I gave him guacamole earlier and he won't shut up about it. Anyway, her name is Bianca," Nico explained, motioning to the kid. She had her arms crossed and was looking at the floor with a deep frown. "Guacamole," Will said again.

"You're not even old enough to be doing that," Hazel said. "Well, I'm not. He is," Nico said, pointing to Will. "The trip to the orphanage was.. very normal." Sophie sighed. "So, what was the gender?" Nico asked. Hazel turned toward Sophie. Jolie just looked at the ground. "Twins. They're both girls," Sophie said, smiling. They clapped for her, even Will. "Thank you," Sophie said. She did deeply appreciate it. Hazel pulled her into a hug. "Only because Jolie won't," she said. Sophie laughed. Jolie looked at Sophie once more, got up, and promptly left the room.
