Scantastic.

Kuon sat cuddling Kyoko on the sofa at his apartment, it had been four weeks since finding out he was to be the father of twins, and he never thought he could ever be this excited. They still had lots to do such as house hunting in their spare time, check ups and ultrasound scans like they had tomorrow morning. Then there was Kuon's favourite part. Spoiling his babies and the woman he loved rotten. Kyoko was really coming into her own now with her pregnancy. She still had mood swings, but with the help of his dad's advice he was coping better. Then there were the cravings! Only the night before she had asked him to make a Banana and brown sauce sandwich and now she was sitting there, eating a jar of gherkins.

Kuon smiled down at his wife, she seemed too perfect for him like an angel sent from heaven. Kyoko stirred slightly, her attention on the film Kuon had bought specially for her. It was one of their father's earlier action films and she was lost in it, watching with bated breath and eager eyes. God he loved her. Kuon had just started to watch the movie again when Kyoko jumped slightly in his arms.

"Kyoko?" he asked looking down at her again, she looked at her bulge, then up into Kuon's eyes. Her eyes were sparkling as a look of surprise and then pure wonder crossed her face as a smile exploded. She looked away and grabbing Kuon's hand she placed it on her stomach.

"Kyoko?" he asked again rather confused by her reaction. Kyoko just shook her head and motioned for him to be quiet as she pressed his hand into her soft skin. Kuon waited, it was like lightning shooting through his touch sensors as for the briefest moment he felt the smallest knocking against his palm. Kuon's eyes widened as Kyoko turned back to him with the same smile. Again the small slight knocking. Kuon felt the burning behind his eyes as the smile covered his face.

"Those are my babies." he could hardly speak, with so many emotions running through his mind. Even though he kept his hand there for the rest of the night, it didn't happen again, but that one time was enough. He would remember this moment for the rest of his life. The moment he felt his babies for the first time.

Kyoko watched her babies heartbeats fluttering on the screen and smiled at the look of pure joy on Lory's face. Sadly, Kuon was unable to come with her this morning and even though Kanae had offered to bring her as planned as soon as Lory had heard about Kuon missing the scan he had started to pout in Kyoko's presence until Maria had told her Lory wanted her to ask him along.

Kyoko had laughed at Lory's expression when she told him if he wanted to come he only had to ask, but she invited him anyway. So here he was with her and Kanae watching her babies heartbeats and Yuki told her everything was fine. After the shock of the last appointment today's was rather ordinary. Kyoko made sure to get lots of scan pictures for Kuon and when Yuki asked if she would like to know the sexes she just shook her head, she and Kuon had decided it was more exciting to wait and see.

Yuki smiled as Kyoko readjusted her clothes, while Lory was still staring at the scan pictures Yuki had handed him with a gentle excited smile on his face. Kanae just raised her eyebrows shaking her head, but she too was smiling.

"OK then sweetie, I will be seeing you again in five weeks for your next scan at 27 weeks. You also have a check up appointment in two weeks time. If at any point you feel unwell in any way or if anything happens as always call me, my number is in your notes. If I don't answer then call the hospital. There are people here 24/7 so do not leave it, if in doubt, you must find out OK?" Kyoko smiled and nodded. It was always the same lecture, but in a way she was glad. It showed just how much her midwife cared.

"Thanks, Yuki." she said giving the young woman a hug. They had become friends in their time together. Kuon insisted on the best possible care for his wife and children, so Kyoko came to see Yuki a little more regularly than the average pregnant woman. Kyoko was just turning to leave when Yuki called her back.
