While waiting for their baby to pop up on the screen Caroline's heart was beating fast.
Suddenly there it was. It was so beautiful to them.
"Oh wow." Carolines breath was taken away.
"There it is!" James' voice went high.
Caroline chuckles and wipes her tears.
"Hm." The doctor takes a closer look at the screen.
"What? What's wrong?" Caroline immediately panics.
"Mr. and Mrs. Shepard, you're having twins."
"What?" Even more tears filled Caroline's eyes.
"Twins?!" James smiles.
"Yes look! There's baby A in one sac.. and baby B in another. There's two!"
"Oh my gosh!" Caroline covers her mouth and cries hard.
"We're getting two babies, Caro!"
"I can't believe it!" She chuckles.
"I'm a twin but I never imagined having twins! How cool is that?!"
"Are you really? That's so great.. you two are going to make great parents. Congratulations." He smiles.
"Thank you very much!"
"I'm so happy I've had the chance to meet you two. If you all ever come back to Italy I'd love to meet these little twins one day."
"Absolutely! Again, thank you for everything." James smiles and shakes his hand.

"Twins, Caroline. TWINS!"
"I KNOW!"
"We have to think of a way to tell the family when we get back home!"
"James, we should wait."
"But babe, you heard him. You're thirteen weeks and the twins are healthy!
The Twins! Man that's cool to say!"
"I know honey, just please hear me out.. I want to wait.. I don't want to get... overly excited."
"Baby, it's good to be happy! If you're happy then the babies are happy. The BABIES!"
"Give me two weeks."
James sighs.
"Fine!"
"Thank you."

After a long plane ride to Minnesota, they were finally home.
"You have no idea how hard it's going to be Not telling my mom! Well everyone! It's gonna be so hard, baby!"
"You'll be okay." Caroline smiles.
"Well what are you gonna do about that?" James points to her belly.
"Is it obvious? I wore my big blouse to hide it." Caroline pulls on her top.
