Her freaking out was the worst thing that could have happened, he was cursing himself for signing that contract already, of corse there was no way for him to know things would pan out this way, but still. He put his head in his hands and shook his head. Plain and simple he should have abstained, but then again it could have been Sara. He looked up and put on a brave smile. "You'll be fine." He got up from the chair and made his way back over to her. "You'll have an army behind you." His smile widened, too bad the entire air force couldn't really be there. "My mom will help, I'm site your mom will help, and if not Tally and Monte and my dad." He wrapped his arms around her and moved his hand to the back of her head to comfort her. "If I have to I'll enlist Zane and the rest of the baseball team to come help so you can sleep and enjoy it." He kissed the side of her head. "It'll be fine." He was in the process of switching things around on his head. He'd go to tech school for meterology and if and when the twins were old enough and not so much of a handful, maybe then he'd reconsider becoming an officer and gaining his wings. He couldn't imagine trying to accomplish all of it immediately like he'd originally planned and just the thought of getting into one of the fighter planes and going on a mission made him nervous where before he was all ready for it.

Gracie let her head set on his shoulder as he hugged her close to him and nodded. She knew he was right, but she didn't know how it was all going to work out. She figured that his mom would get used to the idea if she wanted to see her grandchildren before he son came home from basic and school. She took a deep breath and let out a sigh before she gave him a nod. "Alright. I know I can do it.... I'm sorry," she said. She turned her head into his neck and kissed him softly. "I love you. Thank you for being awesome."

Avery chuckled a but and then pressed his lips to her head again. "You are the awesome one. You have two beautiful babies inside of you. I only have oatmeal in my stomach. I dont even begin to compare to you." Twins would be fine, he'd have a handful to take on when he got home, but at least with his new path he'd be home sooner and chances were good he'd be able to get a job at the same weather center as his mom if he wasn't able to get on at the local airport. He made a mental note to check into possible job placings once he and Gracie were done with the doctor and he was satisfied she would be alright. He shook his head he also needed to check on housing again. The ones he's had his eye on would be big enough while the twins were little, but something bigger would give them all a little more breathing room.

Gracie smiled, she knew this would work out okay, even though the idea scared her to death. She really wanted to just stop and say that it was too much but she wouldn't. She let out a huge breath and nodded before she looked at him, pulling out of the embrace. She smiled at him, we're going to need two of everything, though, I just don't know how to deal with this yet. I'll figure it out, but this is really scary. I don't want to make you feel bad, that's the last thing I want to do, so don't freak out and try to change things. I want you to be with me firing the birth and then I want you to go to basic like you're supposed to. That's how it's supposed to happen."
The ultrasound tech walked in as soon as she finished her monolague, and smiled at them, "Okay, you ready to find out for sure?" she asked with a grin. Gracie looked up and nodded. The woman led them to a different room and instructed Gracie to lay on the table and pull her shirt up which she did. The woman then put a warm gel on her stomach and started moving the ultrasound eye over her stomach.

I was going to check this one, I thought I was missing something...thanks for bumping.
Avery now felt twice as bad because he was having a hard time containing his nerves and other semi negative emotions and that wasn't good for Gracie or the babies. "I'm going to basic." He kissed her and then when the technician came in he followed the two of them to the other room and stood by, waiting to see just how many babies were inside of her and praying that if there was more than one, that it was only twins. "If it's twins what's the likelihood she'll deliver before May 8th?" He asked, he wanted so badly for the babies to be healthy, but Gracie wanted him there for the birth, heck he wanted to be there for the delivery, but he couldn't make a promise that he couldn't keep.

Gracie sighed lightly and nodded with a smile, liking the fact that he was still willing to kiss her after she'd been throwing up all morning. As the tech started her thing and Avery asked his question she smiled at him, "There's a possibility. Most multiples are born early. If she's due in June or even in July its a big possibility." She found a good place she could see into her womb well. "There we go," she said. "Alright, look at this." She pointed to the screen where a circle was seen through the darkness. "There's a baby..." She moved her finger across the screen and pointed to another one, "There's the second... You're definitely having twins. I guess you want pictures of this?" she asked with a light smile at the couple. Gracie swallowed, watching the screen the whole time. She let out a sigh and shook her head lightly, but then nodded at the woman's question, "Yeah, pictures would be good..."

Avery nodded in response and watched as she moved the sonogram thing on her belly. He felt an overwhelming sense of pride come over him as he saw the first baby and then the second. He nodded again as she asked if they wanted pictures and he leaned forward and kissed Gracie. "It's too soon to tell gender right? I mean, with Gracie and I both being identical twins, there isn't a chance we'll have fraternal and get one boy and one girl right?"

For some reason as his pride took him over, she felt it and it translated to her body as excitement. She licked her lips just before he kissed her and then grinned and looked at the boy and shrugged, "There's always a way," she said lightly. "You'd be surprised the way things work, but since you're both identical twins, I'd say that there's a pretty good chance that yours will be identical as well, but I can't tell gender right now." She did whatever she had to do to print the pictures and then handed Gracie a towel after she'd printed several different angles. "Alright, these should be ready in just a few minutes, you get cleaned up and I'll be right back, alright?" Gracie nodded and then smiled as she wiped off her belly. She sighed lightly, "Can you even believe this, Ave?" she asked softly. "Do you think your mom would like to see the pictures before we take them home?"

Avery shook his head. "I have to believe it." He chuckled and then grinned, allowing that pride he'd been feeling show on his face. "I have two babies on the way and the most gorgeous girl in the world carrying them. I'm sure my mother would love to see them and oh, let's not forget to ask about something for your nausea." He kissed her again, wrapping his arms around her as she finished wiping herself off. "I'm having a hard time being worried now, we can handle twins, we're tough." He rested his head on hers and smiled. "You're tough and we have plenty of support. What do you think you're mom is going to say?" He was just rattling off questions and ideas at rapid fire.

Gracie smiled as he spoke, "Oh yeah?" she asked quietly. "You know what? I'll bet you've got two gorgeous girls in here too, so then you'll have three." She kissed his cheek and nodded, "Do you want to go to your house, then? I want to show someone!" She was so excited about this. "Oh yeah, we need to ask for that so I won't get so sick anymore..." She grinned again and nodded. "You're right. I've got my soldier and you've got me and together it'll be perfect for them. They'll have a great life." She shrugged again and shook her head, "I have no idea. I don't think she'll be mad. I think she's softening to the idea. She's trying. The other day she even asked when you were coming over again..."

Avery smiled. "You know, I won't even mind if there are two girls in there until they hit puberty and start talking about these crazy boys who claim they're in love with them." He winked. "Yeah, we can go to my house." He kissed her temple and then her belly. "I promise the girls won't want for anything, and that goes for you too." He was shocked. "She wants me to come over? I mean, I'm not against it, just surprised I guess." He kissed her belly again. "You two going to protect me from your grandma?"

Gracie giggled softly and nodded, "Yeah, well, you know I was one of those girls that were talking about some crazy boy who's in love with me..." Watching him she smiled again, knowing that he was going to be the best father that he knew how to be. "I didn't think that they would. If they girls you're going to spoil them rotten and don't even act like you won't." She shrugged, "She didn't say she wanted you too, but I guess we can assume that's what her asking implied. I really do think she's trying, which is more than I can say for her ever before." She giggled at him and shook her head lightly running her hand through his hair.
The tech then returned with the doctor who was smiling, "Well, congratulations, you two. We've got the sonograms and you're ready to go. We won't be able to tell the gender for another couple months, but we're going to need you to come in more regularly, since you're having multiples, its a higher risk, but my guess is since you're both in a set of twins, that she'll be able to carry them just fine, probably not to the due date, but we'll take care of it, and they'll be healthy, happy babies." Gracie smiled and took the pictures. "Thank you," she said to the doctor before they were led by the tech out to the waiting room.

Avery chuckled. "You know me like the back of your hand." He smiled and turned when the tech came back in and handed Gracie the pictures, and then led them out to the waiting room. He almost started toward the door and then turned around. "Wait, she needs something for the nausea." He put his hand on Gracie's shoulder. "We need happy healthy babies, but she should be happy and healthy too." He lead Gracie back toward the door and the receptionists desk.

Gracie grinned and took his hand in hers and smiled as he remembered that they needed the anti nausea meds. She shook her head, "Sorry, I must be so excited that I'm forgetting about being sick..." She licked her lips and looked at the receptionist, "Uhm, we need to talk to the doctor about anti-nausea medicine?" she said, more of a question than a statement. The woman behind the counter smiled, "Oh yeah, he's written a prescription for you," she said with a smile. "I'll fax it to your pharmacy and you can just pick it up, alright?" Gracie gave her a smile and nodded.

Satisfied Avery took Gracie around the middle and led her from the doctor's office. "I have one question." He squeezed her side. "Did you want to go grab that prescription first or did you want to go back to my place and show my mom first?" He was afraid as soon as they got into his car she'd be violently sick again and he wanted to solve that first.
