"You're having twins," the doctor smiled, "Would you like a photo?" she motioned towards the screen next to you.
"Yes please," you said softly, placing a hand on your growing belly. How would Elias react? One baby had already been a surprise, but two? Were the two of you ready?
That afternoon, you lay on the couch, waiting for Elias come home from training and idly playing with the small photo. Hearing the key twist in the lock, you stuffed the picture behind your back and sat up.
Elias bounded over to you, no signs of exhaustion from his training, and he pressed a quick peck to your lips. "Hey princess, how's our baby?"
"They're great," you smiled, watching him carefully.
"T-they?" he paused, confusion written all over his face. You reached behind yourself and then placed the photograph into his hands. "Twins? We're having twins?"
"Yeah, babe, we're having twins!" you nodded excitedly.
"Oh my god! We're having twins!" he beamed, pulling you up off the couch and wrapping you in a tight embrace. "I can't believe it! We're having twins. This is incredible!"
You felt something wet roll down your neck and you immediately realised what it was. "Baby, don't cry," you moved away, brushing his tears away with your thumbs
"I'm just so happy," he laughed, still crying. "One baby was wonderful, but wow, two is just - thank you, princess. I love you so much."
Suddenly, Elias dropped down to his knees and lifted your shirt to reveal your swollen stomach. He ran his fingers lightly over the bump and grinned up at you. "Hi guys," he whispered, pressing his face close to your belly, "I love you so much already and I can't wait to meet you both. You and your mom have made me the happiest person alive. Jag älskar dig."
He slowly rose again, pulling your shirt down over your belly and brushing your hair behind your ear. "You're amazing, älskling," he breathed out, eyes shining.
"I love you, Elias."
"I love you, (y/n)."
Placing his hands tenderly on your cheeks, Elias gently pressed his lips against yours. You felt the same fireworks you felt the first time he kissed you, the ones you felt every time the two of you kissed. Everything was perfect.
