Avery looked at her and nodded. "Alright I'll put it out of my head then." He hugged her shoulders and went back to the first house, the beach house. "I'll have to do more research but if we need to expand on this one, I'm sure it won't be too much of an issue." He kissed her cheek and set the laptop to the side. "I loved having my own room apart from Monte and I think Monte feels the same way, but how would you want our twins living arrangements to be? Two separate rooms or bunking together?"

Gracie smiled at him and nodded, "Thank you. I'm sorry, I just feel like it's a better idea just to shoot for the stars, you know?" she asked, leaning against him as his arm came around her shoulders. She thought about it for a moment and shrugged, "I don't know, I mean, I don't really mind sharing my room with Tally, but sometimes it would be nice to have my own space just to be alone for a bit. For now though I think they should be in the same room, just to make things easier."

"Well yeah." Avery agreed. "I wouldn't dream of separating them until maybe three, four, or even five years old. It would just be too hard, especially if you're the only one home to take care of them." He hugged her. "Let me know when you want to go show your mom." He said, he wasn't trying to annoy her.

Gracie smiled, glad that he understood where she was coming from. He was the perfect boyfriend, fiancé, future husband and friend she could have hoped to ask for. She let out a soft sigh, she wasn't annoyed by his questions, she just wasn't sure how her mother would take their news and she was nervous to go home. She wasn't going to keep it a secret, she just kind of wanted to figure something out in case her mother wasn't in the he's of moods. She might kick her out if she was in one of her bad moods, but if she was in good spirits there might be hugs. "I don't know... I'm nervous about that..." She let out a sigh and looked at him, "I think my mom's bipolar."

Avery watched her as she thought it over, it didn't take long, but he could see the wide range of emotions crossing her face. "We can wait a bit longer." He squeezed her hand. "I think my mom is too, you saw how she reacted to the news, I expected her to have a conniption." He laughed and looked for the remote control for his TV. "What about if we watch a movie or something and then we'll see how you feel about going home to share the news?"

Gracie sighed lightly and gave a small nod. "Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I'm afraid my mom's going to throw a fit, and really this is out of our control." She shook her head lightly and smiled at him. "Alright, a movie sounds good. I'm kind of tired right now, but that's probably because of the morning sickness. That takes a lot out of me." She laid back on his bed and let out a sigh, she didn't feel sick quite yet, but she wasn't sure how long it would be, and she might get lucky and not have to worry about it tonight.

Avery flipped over to the movie channels on his TV, being too lazy to get up and put an actual DVD into the player. "Unstoppable just came out, it has Chris Pine in it." He winked and moved next to her as he selected it. "I don't know how you feel about trains, but if I weren't in love with airplanes the train yard would be my next move."

Gracie looked at Avery as he told her about the movie he was choosing. She nodded, "Is it good? Or have you seen it yet?" She let herself lean against him as he moved, her head landing against his shoulder. She let out a content sigh and turned her head to the screen. She shrugged, "I don't know, I think airplanes are neater, but that's just me. I mean, a plane is so much different than anything else, a train makes you feel the same way a car does, usually."

Avery shook his head. "I haven't watched it yet, but the previews look amazing." He pushed play and the opening scene began. "I'm fascinated by planes, so I'm inclined to agree with you, but trains are so much better than cars, but after this movie I'm sure you'll be glad I chose airplanes over trains for sure."

She nodded at his statement, "I agree," she said, "The previews did look good." She smiled again, glad that he liked planes. She felt like they were safer than trains in all honesty. She'd heard of a lot of trains derailing lately and you rarely ever heard of a plane crash, although he was going to be in the military, so he could get hit with some sort of missile, but she preferred not to think about that. She felt her eyes growing heavier and decided to let them close, but she wouldn't fall asleep... She didn't think.

Avery held her as the movie played and would have been perfectly alright with falling asleep next to her. He was giving the movie quite a bit of attention but in the back of his mind he was thinking about the twins, Gracie, and how she would respond to him giving her a ring before he left for basic. He knew setting up a wedding before would be impossible, but he didn't need either of their parent's permission to get engaged.

As she laid there with her eyes closed, she was listening to the voices in the movie and the sounds. She was more focused on what was happening with the babies. She was trying to figure out how she would break the news to her mom. She couldn't figure out the easiest way, or the lightest way. She guessed the sonograms would work, the way they'd shown Avery's parents, but still. She let out a sigh and her mind let go of reality as she drifted into a light sleep only to be awakened with a start to a booming noise coming from the television a few minutes later.

Avery glanced at her as David Warshofsky's character's train exploded as the runaway train derailed it. "Hey, it's alright." He said, running his fingers through her hair. "I'll turn it down, go back to sleep." He picked up the remote with his other hand and turned the volume way down. "When the movie is over, I'll wake you and we'll go see your mom alright." He kissed her hair and continued to run his fingers through her hair.

Gracie glanced up, not that she could really see him, but she nodded giving him a weak, "okay..." before she closed her eyes again, her mind still swirling around all the different events of that day. She was very tired and she got back to sleep quickly despite her still-going-bonkers brainwaves. She fell asleep for most of the movie, but woke up again to feeling quite queasy. She opened her eyes and felt it coming immediately and she shot off of the bed and into his bathroom to start puking her guts out for the second time that day.

Avery felt her stirring and was just about to ask her if she was ready to go see her mom when she jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. He followed after her and pulled her hair back. He ran his other hand across her back and wished he could do more to help her. He didn't want to leave her here throwing up while he went to get her medicine, though he knew he had no choice, he braided her hair the best he could and let it fall down her back. "I'll be back, I love you." He kissed the back of her head and grabbed his keys. When he returned he ran upstairs, hoping she wouldn't still be in the bathroom puking her guts out. "Gracie?"
