Nineteen.

Just two days before Wonwoo was scheduled to go back to school, they had their next appointment with the doctor. Wonwoo was less nervous this time, and more excited. He felt the squirming tickle of butterflies in his stomach as he sat on the exam table, already dressed in the familiar cotton gown. The air in the room was oddly scentless, like all medical facilities tended to be, but he could smell his alpha and that was comforting. Mingyu was next to him, gently rubbing his belly and pressing kisses to him as Wonwoo preened under the alpha's praise, turning his face up into his kissing lips and nuzzling nose, purring at all the gentle attention until Dr. Bae knocked on the door and entered.

They went through the greetings and the standard questions. How have you been feeling? Any pain or discomfort? Any unusual symptoms? Etc. But Wonwoo felt fine, he was doing well, besides some morning sickness, and he'd expected that. They got through the rounds of questions and after confirming that everything was okay, going over his blood pressure and vitals, she set everything up to do another ultrasound.

"Okay, with all of that out of the way, let's get to the good stuff," she said with a smile in her voice.

She had Wonwoo lay back on the exam table and open his gown before squeezing warm jelly onto his abdomen and spreading it around with the ultrasound wand as she searched for the right angle, moving this way and that for a while until she seemed to find what she was looking for and stilled.

"Ah-ha. I was right," she said softly to herself.

"Right about what?" Wonwoo asked, worried.

"It's okay, Mr. Kim. It's good news. The best news."

"Good news?" Wonwoo's hand went to his belly as he wondered what she could mean.

"After seeing the size of the embryo on the ultrasound, I reviewed the blood tests that checked all your hormone levels and I had a suspicion I wanted to confirm with another ultrasound, but I'm so pleased to tell you that it appears that you'll be having twins."

"Twins?!" Wonwoo and Mingyu exclaimed together, both mates squeezing their joined hands and letting out soft sounds of disbelief.

Mingyu leaned down and kissed his mate's forehead before nuzzling into his soft blond hair. The alpha's heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest and start tap dancing. He wanted to run outside and scream at the top of his lungs that his perfect, amazing mate was growing his pups in him. TWO of his pups. Twins. He'd put twins in his mate's belly and that gave him a surge of absolute alpha satisfaction that only swelled his emotions up higher. Every feeling was joy, there was nothing but happiness as he kissed his mate's forehead and felt hot tears gather in his eyes.

"Twins...Baby, we're gonna have twins!"

Wonwoo burst into tears, his emotions overflowing like a flooded well, pouring the swell of his feelings out for everyone to see. This was so much. So much more than he'd ever dreamed to hope for. He had a loving mate, a happy life, and now...he was having twins. Two little lives were growing in his belly. He was going to have TWO pups. Surely no one had ever been so happy as he was in that moment, and he felt unequal to the emotions in his own body. Mingyu leaned over him and hugged him as best he could, which was a bit awkward with the angle, but neither mate cared. Wonwoo felt warm wetness against his neck as the huge, muscled body of his mate gave a little shudder and he realized that Mingyu too was crying. Wonwoo held onto him and they cried together.

"I love you so much, little pearl...Twins...Oh gods, we're having twins."

"I love you, alpha. I can't believe it! I'm so happy! More than happy!"

When they finally pulled apart, Mingyu laughed as he gently wiped Wonwoo's tear-streaked cheeks before doing his own, sniffling and rubbing his face to get himself back together. He looked at the doctor and saw that she was watching them with a little smile.
