Peraltiago: Title of Your Sex Tape

Three

Jake and Amy had been enjoying their new pregnancy in private. So far, in the few weeks that they've known, no one else has. Especially Charles. Obviously he has a sixth sense for their relationship developments but this one he just didn't catch. Then again, they were strongly devoted to not let anyone know until it was too hard to hide anymore, and as of now, baggy shirts and frequent "smoke" breaks did the trick.

Amy had an ultrasound coming up in a few days and in order to trick everyone, more or so, keep it a secret, she and Jake had planned a "vacation". They were going to leave the day of the ultrasound, but after it had been done and were going an hour away to a lake house that they had rented out for the weekend. No one questioned it. Except Holt. 

Of course, he let them go, but he was going to interrogate them about every single detail when they got back. His instincts told him there was a bottom to get to so he promised himself he would get to the bottom of it.

That Friday, Amy and Jake got up early in the morning to get ready for their weekend trip, but most importantly, their ultrasound. 

"I'm so excited, Ames. I can't wait to see the little mini-me on the screen. He's gonna be so small!" Jake celebrated.

"He...? What if it's a she?" Amy questioned.

"Then I will love absolutely everything about her, because she will be 100% like you. I just have a feeling it's gonna be a boy!" Jake smiled, he couldn't wait for this kid. Even though he was skeptical about how good of a father he was going to be, he knew it was worth the risk. He was also scared that he might let the secret slip, but if so, that would only mean that Jake's dad...ope, sorry, Captain Holt would finally know - and Jake couldn't be more excited about that.

They arrived at the doctor's office and entered with smiling faces.

"So is this you're first kid?" The doctor asked.

"Yes, technically," Amy responded, "but we are super excited and can't wait for our little one!"

"Oh yeah! New parents are always overly excited! Just wait till the 4 am diaper changes and the constant worrying," the doctor kind of giggled.

"Aren't you supposed to be selling us on this?" Jake skeptically smiled.

"Yes, and those diaper changes and late nights and countless hours of no sleep all add up to nothing compared to the one smile you get from your babies' face. I promise," the doctor consoled.

"I'm sure it will be, and I cannot wait!" Jake jumped with joy.

"Alright, now let's get started!" The doctor stated and she grabbed the ultrasound wand and gel and placed both on Amy's stomach. 

As she looked at the monitor, her face stopped, just for a split second, but it stopped. And after that split second had passed, she began smiling again as if nothing happened. 

"What was that?" Amy questioned in distress. She saw it and knew something was up, didn't know if it was good or bad but could only assume the worst.

"Well, you are approximately 14 weeks pregnant, so you're past the first trimester, which is great, and we can't yet tell the genders yet, but in about a month, you're next check-up, we can," the doctor had said nonchalantly.

"Genders...? As in plural?" Jake caught quickly, as if he had been an English major in college or something.

"Yes, while I was looking at your one child, I had noticed another 'blob' on the screen and that would be twin B. You're having twins."

"T-t-t-t-t-wins?" Amy asked, kind of worrisome. 

"Yup!" Jake cheered. He was evidently happy.

Amy put on a fake smile, but on the inside, she was terrified.  And the more she thought about it, the deeper she tried to bury it. She wanted to be excited about it, she wanted to have a whole buttload of kids, but she was scared of the "two at one time" thing.

On the one hour drive to the lake house, Amy sat in the passenger seat, hands over her stomach with the radio cranking so she didn't have to talk about the babies. As a matter of fact, any time that Jake brought up the babies, she'd divert the conversation to avoid all baby-talk.

Not even three quarters of the way through Friday did Amy hold it all together. She had began to cry uncontrollably because she didn't know exactly how she felt.

"What's wrong, Ames?" Jake comforted her with a cup of water and a hug.

"I'm just scared. Two at once is just...hard," she cried.

"Title of your sex tape," Jake muttered under his breath.

"Jake, seriously, I'm scared. I can handle one little baby, but what if both of them are crying and you're back at work and I'm all alone, what if..."

"Stop, Ames. Don't 'what if' yourself to death. It's going to be hard, but like the doctor said, it will all be worth it. This is just going to be double the fun, you know?" Jake tried to cheer her up, and like always, it worked.

"Twice the fun," she whispered with a truthful smile on her face. She felt a glimmer of excitement and then, from that moment, could not stop thinking about the babies and fawning over motherhood.

And, on the Monday back at work, she'd let it slip. Not that there was two babies, but that they were expecting. But no one was as excited as Amy and Jake.

Sorry it's been a while, y'all. Hope you enjoy! Let me know what you guys think!
