Nel and Mike sit in a room at the doctors office waiting for their doctor to come in and visit with them and answer some questions they have about this pregnancy.

After her meeting with Angela, the nurse from the ER, Nel feels uneasy and everything concerning her pregnancy and needs answers.

"Are we having another tough day?" Dr.Betty says as she walks in the room.

"No, we're fine. Just eager to get the results." Nel says.

"Of course. You must be very anxious." Dr.Betty says.

"You know, we want to make sure everything's okay with the baby. You didn't see anything unusual? Hooves or anything?" Nel laughs nervously.

"What?" Mike asks laughing.

"Not at all. And, Dr.Grassi, that's not a ridiculous fear. Every pregnant woman worries they've got a little devil in them." Dr.Betty explains.

She continues to examine the test results and ultrasounds and discovers something that was previously overlooked.

"I don't want you to get all worked up, Nel. You're having twins." Dr.Betty says.

Nel looks at Mike and then back at Dr.Betty in shock.

"What?"

"Twins?"

Dr.Betty nods.

"And they're both perfectly healthy. Congratulations." She says with a large smile on her face.

Mike and Nel look at each other with nervous looks on their faces.

"The house is a classic LA Victorian. These are really Tiffany fixtures. Everything was meticulously restored by a couple of the previous homos. Owners. Homeowners." Josh says walking a potential client through the house.

"Fags have such a great eye for detail, don't they?" The man says.

"A queer eye. Let me show you the kitchen. Please help yourself to nibbles." Josh says walking into the kitchen.

Angelica sets out a plate of snacks and wine for people coming to look at the house.

"Well, I don't see you on the brochure. You come with the house?" The man says to a young Angelica.

"Uh, she does, actually. This is Angelica. She's worked for consecutive owners of the house. Uh, Nel Grassi." Nel says entering the kitchen.

She shakes the mans hand and gives him a small smile.

"Mr.Escandarian was in the neighborhood to look at that gaudy Mediterranean two blocks up." Josh explains.

"It's about two-thirds the size of this place, and they want almost twice as much. Of course, the Mediterranean has a swimming pool." Mr.Escandarian explains.

"There's room for a pool here." Josh says quickly.

Mr.Escandarian goes to look out the window at the backyard and sees the gazebo Mike built.

"I'll have to tear out that gazebo." He says.

"I think that's a fine idea. A swimming pool would be just the thing. How deep would you make it?" A young Angelica asks.
