"Honey, you know I can't drink." I say as Andy leads me towards the bar.

"We're not dumb, remember." Luca jokes and I roll my eyes.

"Can't you just tell me what I'm having?" I wonder.

"No way." Andy smiles.

"You're supposed to be staying away from these places!" A thick Alabama accent yells.

Something is up now if my Alabama cousins are down. I walk up to Clint, Ray, and Carter. Luca looks to be in is glory with them around. I hug them tightly and they all take turns touching my baby bump.

"You Gator, are the only girl that can be pregnant with twins and still weight less than a hundred pounds." Ray speaks up.

"Are you healthy?" Carter wonders.

"Yes and so are the babies." I assure him and he nods.

"How's the hand?" I ask Clint, motioning to his still wrapped hand.

Clint makes a big dramatic deal of moving his hand from a closed position to an open one and he smiles like a jackass.

"Almost as good as new." He assures me and I smile.

"Good." I smile.

After a good ten minutes of talking we all walk into the bar. It's filled with people and a big baby shower banner. Almost all of my rugby team along with my cousins flew in from Alabama, Carter flew in from New York. Even will all these people, my husband and the band are no where to be found.

After about an hour Andy makes this big announcement and draws attention to the stage. I'm horrified, I love her but she has some crazy ideas. The curtain flys open and there stands the band wearing skimpy ass stripper clothes. The hoard of rugby players laugh, Luca looks to be in his absolute glory, my cousins and brother now think more than ever that my husband is gay. I just laugh along with everyone else.

"Now I know how strippers feel!" Bret yells and we laugh harder.

That's about the time that our boys become aware of Ray, Clint, and Carter. They laugh and Bret, Bobby, and Rikki go to put on normal clothes again. CC leaps off the stage and screws around with around with the jukebox that sits in the corner. He starts walking over to Andy and proceeds to give her a lap dance to Aerosmith's Dude Looks Like A Lady.

Rikki comes up behind me and puts his hands on my stomach. He kisses the side of my face before whispering in my ear.

"Andy told us if we didn't do it she'd shoot us and mount us like hunting trophies." He says and I laugh. "I didn't realize that your giant family members were going to be here. They're going to think I'm gayer than Luca."

I turn around to face him and I go up on my toes to kiss his lips.

"I love you." I remind him and Rikki smiles.

"I love you to." He says then looks over to stripper CC. "What would you have done if I did that?" Rikki smirks.

"Shot you." I smile and he kisses my forehead.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Rikki smiles.

His hand moves around on my stomach under my leather jacket. Rikki smiles.

"I wanna know what we're having." He says and I nod. "Hey Andy!"

She looks up from her blond New Yorker and CC scowls.

"Kill my fun, Rockett!" He yells.

Half a minute later we're all crowded around the bar and Andy has two cakes sitting on the bar. She makes Rikki and I stand at either cake as she digs for knives. Rikki and I share a look before both pulling out switchblades.

"If it works." Andy shrugs with a smile. "Okay so the inside of the cakes are either going to be pink or blue. One for each twin. On the count of three, you'll cut the cakes." We nod.

"One!" Bret yells, his voice bouncing off every surface.

"Two!" CC says in the same manner.

"Three." Bobby says in his normal voice.

I cut into the cake and instantly see blue. We're having at least one boy. I look over to Rikki and he's looking at me, the inside of his cake is pink. Boy/girl twins. One of each.

"We'll be able to tell them apart." Rikki says and I smile.

I look up to see CC and Bobby both handing Bret money. I roll my eyes.

"Were you betting on our children?" I wonder and Bret lights up.

"I won!" He nearly screams again.

None of us ate the cakes, we ran around the bar like children smashing cake into each other's faces. After things had calmed down I walk up beside Rikki who sits on a bar stool. I kiss his cheek and put my head on his shoulder.

"We're having a boy and a girl." I say quietly.

"I guess we can start to pick names." He says and I feel him kiss my hair. "I'm the luckiest guy on the planet. I got a beautiful girl who's going to give me two beautiful kids, I have the best job on the planet, and the best friends."

"When did we get so lucky?" I wonder and he smiles.

"I think when I met you." Rikki says and I kiss his cheek again.

"I love you." I say but I know that I don't have to remind him.

"I love you more." He says, kissing my lips after each word.

We kiss for a few minutes before I pull away, knocking my forehead on his.

"I love you most." I say quietly.
