Skins: Fire

"The babies look very good." My OB says as she wands my stomach. "The heartbeats are very strong." Freddie and I look at each other and smile. "The babies will be here in no time. You didn't want to know last month, so I'm going to ask again. Do you want to know the sexes?"

"You know if you tell us," Freddie begins, "That will give her an excuse to shop even more."

"You know you love shopping with me." I say. "Do you want to know Freddie?" he thinks about it.

"Sure. Why not?"

"Ok, Freddie and Ana, you are having two boys." Freddie presses a kiss to my lips. I clean off and the two of us step out of the room.

"I know you're kind of bummed." Freddie says. "I know you wanted at least one girl."

"That's ok. If we do have a girl next, now she has two older brothers that can look after her. And not having a girl now means we can keep practicing until we get one..." I tug on his tie.

"I like the sound of that." We kiss. "We can go shopping today after your shift if you'd like."

"I would love to. Now we know who we're buying for. Our sons. Is this what you were hoping for?"

"It didn't matter to me, as long as they're healthy." My phone rings and Freddie checks his watch. "I gotta go. I'll see you later."

We kiss again and he leaves.

"Yes Naomi?"

"Give me some good news."

"What happened?" I ask.

"I just put Emily on her plane."

"Gotcha. Well we found out the sexes of the babies."

"And?"

"Two boys."

"Well that's not bad." She says on the other end.

"No. I think two boys are cool."

"What does Freddie think?"

"He was happy before but now that we're having boys, he's much happier. We're going shopping later today. When's your next appointment?"

"Next week. 12 o'clock."

"Alright. I'll see you then. Love you."

"Love you too."

"What about this onesie?" I ask as I hold one up.

"It's cute. Throw it in." Freddie says.

"Ugh. No matter how much clothes we buy, they're going to grow out of them so fast. It's ridiculous." I complain.

"They can't stay babies forever love." I sigh.
