'Was this a planned pregnancy?' The doctor asks. 

'No.' Elizabeth shakes her head. 

'Does the father know?' Emily queries.

'My husband,' Elizabeth states, 'and no,' she exhales, 'we've had a few false positives in the past so I wanted to be sure before I told him.' 

'I'm just going to do a blood draw and then we'll do an ultrasound.' Emily tells her. 

'Okay.' Elizabeth nods. Emily sanitises her hands and puts some gloves on.

'If you just lie back for me.' Emily states. Elizabeth does as she's told and Emily gets a tourniquet out. She ties it around Elizabeth's arm just above the inner elbow. She presses onto the inner elbow to find a vein. Once's she found one, she cleans the area with an antiseptic sponge. 'Do you and your husband have kids already?' 

'Two.' Elizabeth nods. 'A girl and a boy. Harper and Aaron.' A few minutes pass. Emily has taken the blood needed.

'I'll get these sent to our lab. Results should be back in an hour.' Emily says. 'So I will do the ultrasound now and then we'll wait for the results and if it all comes back positive and clear, then I will set you up with a regular OB and we can go from there.' 

'Okay.' Elizabeth smiles. 

'So, what do you and your husband do for work?' Emily asks as she sets up the ultrasound. 

'I'm a detective and my husband is a doctor. Here actually. He's an emergency medicine resident at Chicago Med.' Elizabeth responds. Emily picks up the transducer and puts a slither of the gel on it. Elizabeth lifts her shirt up and she does the ultrasound. After five minutes, Emily puts the transducer down and hands Elizabeth a tissue. Elizabeth wipes the gel off her stomach, puts her shirt back down and sits up. 

'So?' Elizabeth asks.

'Congratulations.' Emily smiles and nods. 'Looking at the scan, it would appear that you are 8 weeks pregnant with twins.' Elizabeth smiles slightly. 'Is everything okay?' 

'Erm, yeah.' Elizabeth sighs. 'We just never talked about having any more children. We've not long moved from Seattle.' 

'If you want, I can refer you to someone to discuss your options.' Emily suggests. There are a few moments of silence. 

'I should go.' Elizabeth states as she stands up from the bed. 'Can you text me the results of my blood draw?' Elizabeth asks as she puts her coat on. Emily nods. 'Thanks.' Elizabeth nods back before leaving. 

.

Twenty minutes later, Elizabeth is walking into Molly's. She finds Jay and the rest of intelligence. 

'Hey.' She sighs as she sits next to Jay. 

'Hey.' Jay smiles. 'Everything okay?' 

'Yeah.' Elizabeth nods. 

'You having a beer?' Jay asks.

'Nah, I'm just going to have a soda.' Elizabeth replies. 'I'm not staying long, Callum's on call tonight.' Jay nods, stands and goes to order the next round of drinks. He returns a few minutes later with the drinks of a tray and hands them out to everyone before sitting back down. 

'So, how's Mouse doing?' Adam asks Elizabeth.

'He's doing good.' Elizabeth nods. 'He has a few days leave coming up just after Christmas, he's trying to get more,' she tells him, 'but you know how the rangers can be.' She adds looking at Jay.

'Getting leave can be a nightmare.' Jay nods laughing. 

'I don't see them approving more time for him though since he's already had a week.' Elizabeth says with a frown. 'But we talk pretty much everyday.' 

'It must be hard for each of you.' Kim states. 'You know, not knowing what could happen to each of you every day.' 

'Yeah.' Elizabeth nods. 'That's why we try and talk every day. It keeps us sane.' she laughs. They all spend the next hour talking until Elizabeth looks at her watch. 'I better go.' She says as she stands up. 'I want to be home before Callum puts the kids to bed.' She continues as she puts her coat on.

'I'll walk you out.' Jay says as he also stands up. Elizabeth says goodbye to everyone before walking out with Jay. Once they're outside, they turn to face each other. 'Liza, what's going on?' 

'What do you mean?' Elizabeth laughs nervously. 

'You've been acting off recently. You came into work with this bruise on your cheek. You wouldn't let Callum kiss you earlier and you look like you're going to throw up.' Jay says. 'I've known you a long time, Liza. I know when something's going on.' He continues. 'What's going on?' 

'Jay-' Elizabeth sighs. 'Nothing's going on.' 

'You can tell me any-'

'I'm pregnant. With twins.' Elizabeth interrupts him. 'I took a test a few days ago. I didn't want to tell Callum until I had found out for sure. That's where I had to go after work. I went for an ultrasound.' Jay gets a massive grin on his face. 'Let's just keep this between me, you and Callum for now. I want to wait until I'm at least 12 weeks before telling everyone else.' Jay brings her in for a hug. 

'I'm so happy for you.' He grins as they part. 'I'll let you get home. I'll see you tomorrow.' They hug once more and Elizabeth walks off. 

.

Ten minutes later, Elizabeth is walking into her apartment. She hangs her coat up before walking to the front room where Callum is sat on the sofa. She swallows as he stands up. 

'I thought you were coming straight home from work.' He asks as he turns around. Elizabeth notices that he's holding a bottle of beer in his hand. 

'I thought you were on call tonight?' Elizabeth asks him.

'Don't avoid the question!' He shouts as he throws the beer bottle, narrowly missing his wife. He walks around to her. 'Where have you been?' 

'I had an appointment and then I met with the guys from work.' Elizabeth tells him. 

'You promised me you were going to come straight home.' Callum walks closer to her and she walks backwards until she hits the wall. Callum boxes her in with his arms. 

'Callum, please.' Elizabeth whispers.

'Are you having an affair, hm?' Callum challenges. 'Is that why you're always so late?' 

'No, Callum, no. I would never do that to you.' Elizabeth shakes her head, tears filling her eyes. 

'Stop lying!' Callum shouts. He raises his fist. 

'I'm pregnant!' Elizabeth blurts out. Callum keeps his fist raised. 'I'm pregnant.' She adds quieter. 'We're having another baby.' She carries. 'Two, actually. We're having twins.' Callum drops his fist, laughs, scoops her up in his arms and spins around. 

'We're pregnant!' He beams as he places her down. 'Baby, I am so sorry.' He apologises as he wipes her tears away with his thumb. 'I didn't mean it. I love you.' 

'I know.' Elizabeth says quietly. Callum puts his hands on her hips and kisses her. Elizabeth kisses him back, draping her arms over his shoulders. Meanwhile, Aaron is watching from the doorway of his bedroom.
