Tess's POV

My hand rested on my belly as I thought about the fact that I was carrying two little ones in my belly.
I'd already called Luke and Brooklyn and they'd be here any minute. On cue, the door bell rings.
As I start getting up off the sofa, Josh yells, "I got it!" As he runs from the kitchen to the front door. I smiled at how thoughtful Josh was about me.

"Hey babe!" Brooke gets me with a hug and pulls away as she analyses my face. "I'm so proud of you. Only two months to go," he gave me another hug before seating herself on the couch.

"Hey," Luke leans in for a small kiss on the cheek as well as a hug. I was glad that Josh didn't have a problem with Luke anymore, but inside, I knew it was only because he has a girlfriend.
"How you feeling?" He asked as he sat next to Brooke and handed her a glass of water.
"Perfect. I feel wonderful. Just want to get rid of the babies as soon as possible," I smiled at the hint I'd just given then.

Brooklyn's eyes widened add she almost spit the water out of her mouth. "Babies?! Did you just say babies? Luke, I think you need to get me checked up, I think I'm having some sort of hearing problem coming through," Brooke said shockingly, her eyes still wide. I turned my gaze to Luke who was frozen and speechless.
Josh laughed at their reactions add he went to collect and pay the delivery guy for the pizza.

"Don't worry, Luke. You won't be having to take Brooke anywhere because she's not going dread," I chuckled at Brooke's thoughts. "And yes, babies. I'm having twins," I squealed trying to make the atmosphere more happy than shocked. Tears brimmed Brooke's eyes a she was brought back to her senses by Luke lightly nudging her.
She jumped of her seat and squeezed me into a hug, more like another way to murder everyone.
"Brooke," I tried catching her attention. "You're. Killing. Me." I manned to say through the breaths that I could catch. She immediately pulled away, "Sorry, I got to excited," she smiled.

"So when did you find out? And do you know their gender yet?" She interrogated me.

Before I could say a word, a familiar hand was on my mouth, stopping me from speaking. I attempted to bite Josh's hands but he pulled away before I child even get a chance.
"No, no, no. Tessa, Princess, you know we save the games for later," he winked before helping me of the sofa.

"Get a room you two!" Luke yelled from the kitchen- causing Brooke, Josh and me to laugh uncontrollably.
"You two can chat later, but food comes first." He stated. The thought of food made me suddenly aware of how hungry I was.

"Race you there," he whispered in my ear as he smirked.
"Ha ha. Very funny, Josh," I sarcastically stated.
I sucked not to be able to run with him but the good thing was me not bring able to run made the playful side of Josh appear more often.

Brooke supported me on the way to the dining table even thigh I told her I was fine.
I was glad that I had Brooke and Luke as friends and best of all, I had Josh.

After eating pizza, Brooke demanded for me to shoe her the new baby clothes Josh and I had bought today.
When Josh and I revealed the gender of the babies, both Luke and Brooke were back to the same phase they went through only moments ago.

"Oh my God, those are adorable!" Brooke squealed excitedly add she examined the black baby converse Luke told me to get.

By the time we all had our conversations, it was already ten O'clock. Brooke and Luke had left only ten minutes ago and at the moment Josh and I were cuddling in bed.

"I don't want you to sleep on the floor," I whined.
I didn't like the fact that Josh couldn't sleep with me at night because he would always keep kicking his legs about. I was fine with out but Josh wasn't.

"I know, Princess, I know. But I don't want anything you happen to our babies," he sulked.

I felt bad, but he was right. When I was six months into pregnancy, Josh suddenly kicked my stomach while sleeping which made me cry and feel nauseous.

"Okay," I murmured.

"Don't worry, babe. After two months we'll be happy with our two little ones," he smiled but it faded as he realised what he'd just said.
He looked to the ground and trued to blink away the tears that threatened to dribble down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry," his voice hoarse.

"It's okay, Josh," I reassured him. The day was going great until now. The thoughts that previously swirled around in my brain had then over my mind once again, making droplets of salty liquid to leave my eyes like a waterfall.

I was extremely tired and I rested my head on Josh's chest. I continued crying because the horrible thoughts wouldn't leave my mind.

Soon, I find my eyes beginning to close and I was drifting off to sleep.
