Today Heather and I are going to find out the gender of our babies. We can't wait!! Right now we are sitting in the waiting room, waiting for the doctors.

"Mrs.Martinez?" A male voice said. Ivan and I stood up, walking over to the doctor. He smiled at us. Walking down the hall, he introduced himself as Doctor Jimmy Farwell. Farwell opened a door and held it open for us.

"Ma'am, I would like you to please lay down on the bed and lift your shirt up." The doc instructed and I listened, laying down and lifting my shirt up. Doc got some gel out, rubbing it all over my tummy. He got a stick out and began running it all over my small bump, looking at the screen.

"Well everything looks good, you seem to be about a month along. And well well well, congrats Mr. and Mrs. Martinez, you're having twins! A boy and a girl!" The doc exclaimed, smiling at us. I squealed and Ivan grinned so big I swore it was impossible to get any bigger.

"Twins, we're having twins!!" Ivan said. I giggled and nodded, whiping the gel off my stomach. Ivan grabbed my hand and we walked out after thanking the doc. Jake and Heather went back when we got back, so we waited for them.

Jake and Heather walked out a few minutes after we did. Grins plastered on their faces like us.

"We are having twins!!" Ivan and I exclaimed, grinning like maniacs. Jake and Heather looked shocked.

"We are having twins too!!" They said, shocking all of us. Heather and I shared a look.

"A boy and a girl!" We said in usion. Ok, I can't decide if this is creepy or just a miracle. Ivan and Jake take us home, after we said that we were starving, even though we literally are before we came. After raiding the fridge and the cupboards, I decide on dill pickles, peanut butter, and chicken. Yes, I know, a weird combo but hey, I'm pregnant. Heather chose ice cream, diced ham, and cottage cheese. Don't judge. Like I said, we are pregnant.

While we eat and our guys make faces at our choice of food, we all start thinking of the perfect name for all our kids. It's going to take some time but we will find the perfect name.

So far, Jake and Heather have picked out these.

Boy:

Isaac Dwayne

Gavin Robert

Conner Drake

Girl:

Maddie Rose

Hadley Nicole

Jessica Marcy

That's all for now. They are going to most likely switch, add, and remove some. Now onto our chosen names, for now.

Boy:

Zachary Connor

Taylor Dalton

Sebastian Taylor

Girl:

Katie Rose

Isabella Grace

Rebecca Scarlett

That's all for now. We will most likely add more to the list, remove, and switch. This is the second greatest moment of our lives. It's a big change for all of us.

When we told Lane, Lisa, Ava, and Collin what was happening, Lane and Collin almost knocked Jake and Ivan out. They walked off with them and didn't return until two hours later. Thankfully, there was no scratches or marks or any broken bones. Lane and Collin finally approved of it, overjoyed that they were going to be grandparents.

My phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts.

"Hello?"

"Hey Harper!! How's my bestie and niece or nephew doing?" Brigatte's voice cherped from the other side of the phone. I smiled and giggled.

"We're doing good. And the gender is a surprise, at least until I see you in person." I reply, grinning.

"Well then we are meeting!! Meet us all at the Cafe in ten!!" Brigatte hung up before I could say anything. I groaned and told everyone what was happening. I wasn't feeling changing and neither was Heather, so we stayed in our comfy shorts and baggy sweatshirts.

We made it to the Cafe in ten minutes. Brigatte immeatilly pulled us over to the table and demanded that we tell her the gender of her niece or nephew.

"Calm down. We are both having twins. A boy and a girl for the both of us." Heather said. Brigatte was frozen, which never happened with Brigatte. Then she squealed and hugged us tightly but not to tight.

"I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT OF FOUR BABIES!!" Brigatte whisper-yelled to everyone else. Everyone had already heard us so they chuckled at Brigatte, Marcus wrapping his arms around her.

And that's when I saw it. The engagement ring on her finger. "Oh. My. God.!! Why didn't you say anything!!??" I squealed, causing people to look our way. I glared at them and they quickly looked away. Brigatte and Marcus looked at me confused until I motioned towards her ring. Brigatte blushed wildly, hiding her face in Marcus's chest.

"We were going to tell you all know. But Harper beat us too it." Marcus said with a chuckle, making everyone else chuckle. Everyone seems to be getting married or engaged now. We're all just one Big, Happy Family.
