Chapter 24 - Cake
Michael came home about thirty minutes later. He dropped his stuff at the door and ran towards me since I had just come out of the kitchen.
"Mia.. I missed you so much, baby," he whispered as he held me a few inches off the ground, hugging me.
"I missed you too.. And I think Jess missed you!" I said, pointing to our cat rubbing against his legs.
"Yeah she did!" He looked down at her, then at me. He had a little bit of a weird expression on his face. I thought maybe he had noticed my belly. I was doing my best to hide it, though.
"Is everything okay?" He wondered.
"Yeah, and I baked a cake to celebrate you getting home."
"You're making it like I just came home from being in the war.."
"But I missed you, and it's been a while."
"Sorry babe, now let's try this cake you made.." He said as we walked into the kitchen. I handed him his slice with the ultrasound picture rolled up in it. I didn't want to tell him to chew carefully though. That would disgust him or make him suspicious.
He grabbed a fork and bit into it. I did the same with mine. About a minute later, he made a weird face and pulled a paper out of his mouth.
"What is this?" He asked me.
"Unroll it and look at it.." was all I told him.
He unrolled it and saw my eleven week ultrasound that I went for this weekend. His eyes widened in amazement, and his jaw dropped.
"Mia.." He looked at me and placed his hand against my stomach. I pulled my shirt up and showed him my eleven-week belly.
"You're going to be a daddy," I whispered softly. He smiled widely at me.
"Look, Michael," I pointed to one of the babies on the ultrasound, then the other.
"Two.." He smiled at me.
"Twins," I nodded.
"Oh my god, babe.." He was still in shock, "we've created two little human beings."
"Yeah," I smiled. I couldn't stop smiling.
"How far along are you? You would have to be somewhat far along.."
"Eleven weeks," I informed him.
"After the night out?"
"Yeah," I whispered, hugging him.
"I love you and our little babies so much.."
"What about thinking of names?" I asked.
"Uh.. For two girls, Olivia and Alyssa?"
"I like it. Middle names?"
"Maybe Olivia Elizabeth and Alyssa Karen?"
"Yeah.. Now for boys, Jaxon Daniel and Josiah David?"
"You've had a while to think, haven't you?"
"I have," I admitted.
"Well, I like that. They'd both be JDC, their initials," he pointed out. I already knew that, of course.
"Yeah."
"I'm so excited, babe.."
"Me too," I thought about our two babies forming inside of my stomach at this very moment. It was amazing to think about, trust me. It's the best thought.
