"Hey sweetheart." Mark said as he came over to his wife who was pulling out a fresh batch of scones. She had made some maple ginger scones, they just sounded really good, so she pulled out the recipe that belonged to her grandmother, and was happily humming "Black Magic Woman", something that Mark took to playfully singing to her because they referred to their identical twins as her "black magic babies."  

Because that is what twins were. Fraternal twins ran in families. Identical twins, they could just pop up whenever, like a magic trick. She had a feeling these two were gonna give her a run for her money.

"Hi babe!" Eddie said as Mark quickly grabbed the oven mitt and put the scones on the counter. Eddie laughed slightly. "I am not invalid."

Mark sent her a soft, charming grin.

"You're not." Mark agreed to his pregnant, beautiful wife, who was about fourteen weeks along. "But, I am happy to do it, especially since you still have morning sickness. Let me take care of my girls."

Eddie sighed, yeah, she still had morning sickness this far along, while when she was pregnant with Frankie, with her twins they seemed to want to make her throw up every hour on the hour. And, made her crave her orange banana smoothies and some more savory items-like she was really into spicy foods lately.

"Still..." Eddie said. "And we don't know they are girls, they could be boys."

Mark snorted.

"No, they are girls." Mark insisted. "It would be perfect karmatic justice."

Eddie laughed, and then looked over at Zola. "They are boys. Right Zola? The twins are boys!"

Zola, who was sitting in a high chair happily started banging a spoon on her tray. 

"Thanks for the support Zo-Zo." Eddie said giving her niece a sweet smile. Zola giggled and banged the spoon again.

"No Zola is laughing cause she knows her cousins are gonna be girls." Mark teased as Zola giggle again.

"Let me pamper you sweetheart, I love that you are independent and badass, but I want to help. I can't do much but I can do this." Mark said, as he grabbed the next round of maple ginger scones as Eddie grinned widely.

She felt like her inside was turning into goo. Mark could be overbearing sometimes, but it came from a good place. God, Mark Sloan truly was the perfect man. Eddie felt herself blush, and Mark smirked knowing that he had charmed his wife. Eddie gave him a soft smile and gently rested her hand on his chest.
