Vanessa POV*

"Okay, we ran you blood and your... Bata HCG levels were high meaning you pregnant roughly 11 weeks. Also I'm Dr. Brown" the woman says. All eyes are on me when there's a knock at the door. Will opens the door to show Kevin entering. "I'm gonna go" Voight says walking out. "What happened Platt told me you passed out and that you were at med" he say. I try to answer but nothing comes out. Pregnant? Again! How did this happen? I mean I know how this happened but how did I not notice being late and all the other signs I think to myself. "Who are you to Ms. Rojas" Dr. Brown says. "I'm her boyfriend and Valentina's dad" Kevin says. the doctor looks at me and I just nod because I still can't form words. "Should I tell him or do you want me to" the Doctor says. "tell me what". "Y-you" The only word I've said in the last 10 minutes. "Your Girlfriend is pregnant 11 weeks, I'm going to get an ultrasound machine. I'll be back in a bit" she say walking out the door leaving us with such huge news.

"Are you okay" he ask taking my hand. "wow.... I-I don't know what to say". "Are you happy" Kev ask. "I'm shocked" I say running my hand through my hair. "I mean I'm happy but wow, we talked about this but I didn't think we'd be surprised, I thought we would've waited until Val was a little older but-" , "Plans change" he says looking up at me as we both laugh.

When the doctor comes back she brings the ultrasound machine with her. "You know the drill, lift up your shirt" the Doctor says. she squirts the cold gel on to my stomach and and moves the wand around. "here's your baby and here's the heart beat and-" she stops talking. "What wrong" I ask her as the her eyes are glued to the screen. "Oh Sorry nothings wrong just wanted to make sure I was right before tell you." she says turning the screen back to us. "Here is baby A and right next to it is baby B" she says as we hear both heart beats. Here I am again in shock. Twins?!? I think to myself."Is this real" I say. "Yes it's real. Do you have a history of multiples in your family?" she asks us. "um...wow no" he say. Now she looks at me as I stay silent. "foster care" I all I say. "Okay you can book appointments at maternity on the 4th floor and here's a cloth to wipe the gel and the pictures of your twins. Congrats" she says walking out to give us privacy.

"There goes our plan of having a wedding in the next two years" Kev says trying to making me laugh as I wipe the gel off my stomach. "you got her" I asks getting down form the bed. "You good? We just go major news and you've only said wow" Kev asks. "I um it's a lot twins, that's double, everything" I say trying to warp my head around it.

We get back to the district and everyone there staring at me. "You okay" Adam asks. "Yeah just dehydration" I say receiving a look from Voight as I lie to the team. "Superintendent heard what happened so the paperwork should be done my tomorrow afternoon. Rojas my office" Voight says. I hand Kev Val's backpack and walk to Voight's office. "first congrats on the baby and you'll be at the call center when you hit 20 weeks." he says. "Thanks Sarge and can you not tell the team yet, I' still haven't wrapped my head around to idea of three kids" I say mumbling that last part. "okay" he say opening the door. "Go home everyone get some sleep and come back tomorrow" Voight say before shutting his door.

Were at home and Kev just put Val to bed. When he walks into the room and I'm looking at the ultrasound photos. "Hey, you know we can do this right" he says as I rest my head on his chest. "It not like there's a return policy" hearing Kev laugh after I say that. "I know, what if it's boys" he says. "Or girls or a boy and a girl" I say as we fall asleep in each others arms.

Hailey POV*

When Jay get home the kids are already asleep and I'm sitting on the couch waiting for him. "Hey babe" he says kissing my cheek. "Sorry I'm late the deputy Sup wanted the paperwork down my tonight then changed his mind after he heard about the injuries." he says as we walk to our bedroom. "Who got hurt?" I ask hitting his chest stopping him. "Me" he says clutching his ribs. "I'm so sorry, you need ice or" I start. "Hailey I'm fine I just need you" he says cupping my face in his hands.

"That sweet but who else got hurt" I say leaning into his hands. "ah Kim has a sprained ankle, Vanessa passed out from dehydration and I have bruised ribs" he say walking into the bathroom. We walk into the bedroom and I take off all the pillows while he's takes a shower. When he gets out the shower I go in to wash my face. "You know the kids are sleeping" he say placing hands on my waist. "Were not doing what your thinking" I say turning around leaving our faces centimeters apart. "But you want to" he say kissing my face leading a trail down to my neck. "Yeah but we can't tonight, your ribs" I say walking out the bathroom. "Maybe this weekend if your lucky" I say getting into bed. "I can wait" he says getting in on the other side of the bed as I snuggle into to his non-hurt side.
