Chapter 29: Children in summer.

As spring marked the end of old lives and the start of new there was a breeze that brought forth change. As it was Leah was starting to show it was an exciting time as well as Maru herself was also showing. Apparently hey child was going to be born in fall. it seemed all the girls were excited going over baby stuff and talking about how cute the babies would be.

Down at the dock's the guys were all hanging out talking about new changes and how married life was when Shane who was leaning against Willy's shack grinned and spoke up. "So Marcus Have you picked out a name for your kid ?" Marcus laughed. "A boy he'll be named Grant a girl she'll be named Mia." Sam raised an eyebrow. "Why Grant and Mia?" Putting his hands behind his head he looked up at the sky. "Grant was my fathers name from what my mom had said he was a good man always helping people in need. As for Mia that was Leah's grandmothers name she was the reason why she became an artist." Harvey nodded. "Sounds like good names to me." Alex turned to Harvey. "So have you thought of a name for yours ?" Nodding He turned to Alex. "Elli if its a girl and Maxwell if a boy. To be honest I'm really nervous." Elliot lightly laughed then patted Harvey on the shoulder. "You'll do fine."

It appeared all the guys had adjusted well to their new life changes and as it was the town had changed for the better. "So now the real question is what will happen to us now. All of us starting families and well starting new lives." Sam asked his arms folded up. "We just adjust as we always do. I mean its not like anything has changed really besides the girls we've been dating and been with are now our wives." Alex said. They all nodded in agreement yet again. "Well I better head back home. The baby should be here soon right Harvey?" Harvey nodded. "Any day now. So I would suggest keeping a close eye on her." Of course summer's first two weeks had come and gone with everyone enjoying another Luau with a very good stew this year and a happy governor.

Harvey believed that it was mid winter when the event had occurred so as well along as Leah was it was only a matter of time now.  Finally home Leah was laying on the bed smiling as he walked in. "Welcome home honey." She said as she tried to get up. Walking over to help her up he smiled. "I see our little one is causing you trouble again huh?" She laughed her hand around her belly. "Always. The little one takes after you." Marcus only laughed as he knelt down. "Hey kiddo you got to cut your mom some slack here." He then got up and looked at her. "So what can I do for you oh lady of the house." He joked as he bowed as if he was some butler to her. "Your lady commands ! That we have lunch and enjoy a nice walk in the woods after !" She said in a commanding rather regal voice to accompany his joke. "As the lady commands." He said before they burst into laughter while he walked over and started to make a light summer salad. She had been craving salads all spring and summer as it seemed.

A nice lunch with a warm breeze that entered the house with open windows made for a rather relaxing day. Before long they got up and headed out towards the southern woods near the tree where they first met. "Hard to think we've come so far huh?" she said as she leaned into him. "I know I never thought we could come this far and now a baby on the way I guess its official now." She looked up at him with a questioned looked. "Official for what ?" He just smiled "Official that I'm the happiest man in all of town." He said while balancing himself on a log.

She only laughed when she suddenly was over came with pain. "M-Marcus !" She knelt down on the ground. "Ooh the pain Its the baby !" She said in panic as he jumped off and run over to her knelling down. "Come on I got to get you to the clinic." It would seem she really was in no state to walk so picking her up he started to run towards town. "Out of the way ! Baby on the way !" he shouted as ran past people making a bolt towards the clinic doors. As it was most of the town followed there hadn't been a baby born in town since Vincent so it was quiet a moment.

Bursting through the door Maru was there and saw. "Maru ! Its time !" Quickly she yelled for Harvey. Placing her in a wheelchair Harvey wheeled her into the operating room Marcus sat outside waiting. He was joined by Sam and the others who we're all acting as nervous uncles.

Time went by and by and fear began to set in granted he wanted to be in the room he rather stay out of Maru and Harvey's way. "Bro they are going to be alright their in the best hands in town." Sam said patting him on the shoulder. All Marcus could do was nod as he waited more.

Soon Harvey came walking out and smiled. "It  went perfect you can now see them." He had a big grin on his face as Marcus walked past. Entering Maru was sitting next to Leah as she seemed tired yet there was something odd and strange she had two bundles in her arms. Walking up slowly he seemed in shock as Maru smiled and walked by. Sitting down next to her Leah smiled. "Marcus meet your son and daughter." Twins! it seemed yoba had a twisted sense of humor as Marcus took them in his arms. "Grant and Mia. Hey there I'm your daddy." Tear of joy ran down his cheeks as he smiled before setting back down next to Leah.

Leah yawned then smiled before Maru came back in. "She and the babies need some rest we just need to look over a few more things but they seem perfectly healthy." Marcus nodded and kissed Leah on the cheek. She smiled backed. "Go on I know you're going to tell all the guys. Just be back later tonight." She joked before looking back down at the twins.

Running outside the whole town was there when Marcus yelled out. "TWINS!" what a word to say as the town cheered and welcomed Grant and Mia to the community. The gang congratulated him as celebration ensured of course the community was more family than anything and as it was before the guys realized. "We're uncles now." Shane said as Elliot chuckled. "It would same the twins now have seven uncles and seven aunts a note worth writing down." Clint shook his head. "Didn't think I'd see the day someone would have twins in Pelican town."

Lewis walked over with a book and looked at Marcus. "So you've had twins may I have their names so I can register them." Marcus nodded. "Grant and Mia." Of course he used the names they had picked out for one child. "Grant and Mia alright perfect congrats though seeing your children born here makes me happy to see our little community grow a bit more."

As the day went by the guys enjoyed drinks and laughter as the girls we're allowed to go and visit Leah. "Awe their so cute ! I want one now !" Haley said as she looked at them. "Wow I never thought you would have had twins Leah." Mary said as Grant held onto her finger.

"I know I was shocked as much as you we're." she replied as Penny looked at Grant. "Grant really has his fathers looks. I feel bad for the girls he's going to be a real heart breaker." They laughed for a bit as Abby looked at Mia. "Oh dear I see a lot of you in her Leah hopefully she hasn't gained Marcus's trait for getting into trouble." Leah smiled. "Either way these two are going to be trouble. After all they are our children." Lucy laughed before looking at Mia. "Hey there Mia I'm your Aunty Lucy." Just then Mia started to cry out loud as Emily stifled a laugh while looking at Grant. "Awe ! Come on ! Aunty Lucy isn't going to hurt you !" Mia then saw Mary and cooed her crying stopped. "Oh come on ! Ugh ! Problem child indeed ! Just like her father!" Lucy said her arms folded. That was it Emily busted out laughing as the others did. Lucy even joined in as Maru looked at them. "The only thing I hope is I don't have twins." she said smiling as she sat beside Leah. All the girls agreed on that for when they would have kids.

Soon the day's went by Leah was back at home and well life had changed once more as now she and Marcus both had their hands full with taking care of the twins and the farm but they enjoyed it.

As it was summer was drawing to a close and well life just seemed perfect. At least for them. Life seemed to settle in as the twins adjusted to their new surroundings it seemed they we're bound to each other as they never left each others side if anything it brought a calm mind to Leah and Marcus as it would mean they wouldn't be fighting as much. Fall was on its way and as it was seasons of change we're abound. something was on the horizon and it seemed someone from the past was on the way.
