        Josh and I had just returned after our first shopping adventure with twins. Let's just say, it looks a lot easier in the movies. As soon as we would get one to stop crying, the other would start. A single shopping trip and I had already received enough dirty looks to last me a lifetime.

        We had finally gotten both babies to sleep and now we were attempting to choose names for the twins. "What about Colin after my brother and Shelby after your cousin?" I asked. Colin was Luke's middle name and Josh and Shelby were so close they were practically siblings.

        "I don't think that fits them," Josh replied.

        "Ugh, I never realized naming kids could be this hard!" I exclaimed throwing my hands in the air.

        "Shh! You're going to wake up the babies!" Josh reminded me.

        "Josh, they're all the way upstairs," I smiled at his cuteness. I looked up at the TV screen, where a re-run of Supernatural was playing, "Wait! I got it! Samuel Owen, that's cute right? Then he'll be named after you, and Sam Winchester! Two of the greatest men in history!"

        "Yeah, I like that! I like that a lot actually. And we could call him Sam or Sammy if we wanted to. What about for the girl?" Josh asked.

        "I don't know," I let out a loud sigh.

        "What about Quinn?" He looked proud of himself, "Rylee Quinn?"

        "I love it." I leaned over to him and he met me half way in a kiss. I pulled away, "Samuel Owen and Rylee Quinn. Those are some amazing names, if I do say so myself. How did you come up with Rylee Quinn?"

        He shrugged, "It just kind of came to me." But the look in his eyes told me differently.

        "I have a question," I stated, sitting on the couch with my head against Josh's chest.

        "Ask away," Josh mumbled as he yawned.

        "What are we going to do about sleeping arrangements? I mean, for the babies, are we going to split them up every night and each of us keep one, or how is this going to work?"

        "That's a good question. So I guess it's a good thing my parents have already talked to your parents and agreed to let you stay here in our guest room," he paused for a moment. "Or in my room," he whispered, wriggling his eyebrows.

        I smirked at him and rubbed my hand down his chest. Seeing the sparkle in his eyes, I knew what he thought I was going to say, but he was wrong. Way wrong. "Considering we already have two kids, I'll take the guest room, just to be safe." I got up and walked out of the room adding an extra sway on my hips. I heard Josh get up and come after me.

        "Where are you going?" He asked. I turned around to face Josh and let him catch up with me.

        "I was going upstairs to check on the babies, before I went home."

        "Home? We just talked about this, I thought you were staying here tonight?" He looked worried, like he had done something wrong.

        "I was just going to pick some things up," I replied.

        "You don't have a car, remember?"

        "Oh, yeah, I'll just have my mom drop some off in the morning."
