"I really like this apartment. 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and a really nice work spot. And it's  right around our budget."

"And the kids can share a room. It's not like we will live there forever." Jessica says with a smile.

"It's so weird to say "kids"." Danny chuckles rubbing Jessica's small belly.

"I can't help but be nervous."

"It's all going to be okay."

"It's easy to say that Danny. But we have only known each other for less then a year. We already have two babies on the way, we are moving together. It's just so overwhelming."

"I am sorry. But I promise you I will never let you and these babies go. Never. I love you too much. We are in a sticky situation and a crazy one too. But god blessed us with these babies and god blessed us with each other. Don't get upset, it isn't good for you and the babies."

"You always know what to say. You're good with words Daniel."

"What can I saw, I'm a lawyer."

"Hey! Lawyers lie!" Jessica pouts.

"No, no I'm not lying."

"Really?"

"Yes." Danny pokes her nose and gives her a kiss.

Jessica giggles

"You're too cute!" He says

"We see my parents this weekend."

"Oh that's right."

"Gosh it's eating me alive. I already know their reaction won't be good."

"We can get through it together. Tell them our plan, reassure them that we are responsible and will be great parents and make it work."

"Well, we aren't super responsible, look at me. I am pregnant." Jessica chuckles

"I think what will really tick them off is that I'm pregnant and not married, and that we haven't known each other for a long time."

"I bet they will have an idea when they see you. Twins grow fast, and those babies are growing fast."

"I know, usually women who are pregnant at 13 weeks don't show, but me. I show! Everything's double."

"That's right. Double trouble."

That weekend Jessica and Danny drove up to Cloquet. On the ride over Jessica had butterflies in her stomach. She kept repeating in her mind how she would tell them.

Mom, Dad. I'm pregnant. Danny and I are expecting twins.

Mom Dad I am so sorry. Danny and I are having twins. We just found out.

We are moving to New York City this summer for Danny's job. We are going to raise the babies out there. I am going to go to school for interior design after I have the babies. I will take online classes.

"Jess, what are you saying?"  Danny says hearing her mumble to herself.

"Nothing." She laughs

"Don't be nervous." He takes her hand.

Jessica and Danny meet Al and Dorthy at a local diner just up the street from Jessica's parents house.

Jessica wore a bulky sweater so it wasn't so obvious. They walked in and Danny held her hand. Dorthy and Al stood up to greet them.

"Jessica!" Dorthy says giving her a hug.

Al shakes Danny's hand.

"Danny, what a surprise! I guess today's lunch will make up for the chaos from Christmas!" Dorthy says hugging him.

"Hey baby girl." Al says hugging Jessica.

"Hey daddy." Jessica says softly.

When they sit down Dorthy and Al talk to them a bit.

Jessica bounced her feet causing the table to lightly shake. Under the table, Danny put his hand on Jessica's leg.

"So, are you two officially together? I hope..." Al says with a smile.

"Yes sir." Danny says

Dorthy stared at Jessica and noticed that she was quite and twiddling with her sleeves.

"Jessie, is everything okay?" Dorthy says interrupting Danny and Al. She had a puzzled look on her face.

The table was silent, all eyes where on Jessica. Her face grew red. She looked at Danny.

"Mom, Dad. There's something I want to tell you."

"Jessica, what's going on sweetie? Are you sick?" Dorthy says

"Jessica you can tell us anything." Al says taking her hands.

"I'm pregnant. Danny and I are having babies."

Dorthy covered her mouth. Al moved his hands away from Jessica and ran his fingers through his hair.

Danny took Jessica's hand.

"Mr. And Mrs. Lange, we know the timing isn't well. But I want to let you know that I have every good intention to take care of your daughter and our babies." Danny says

"Pregnant Jessica? Babies!" Dorthy says in a cracky voice.

"Mom please don't be disappointed in me. Everything happens for a reason. I need your support."

Jessica looks at her dad who's hands were covering his face.

"Daddy." Jessica says with a quivering lip.

"Wait... how far along are you?" Dorthy says

"Thirteen weeks last Monday. I will be 4 months February 1."

"You- you have known each other longer then a month. That means you conceived in November. While Sam was gone!"

"Dorthy! That's enough!" Al says

Jessica and Danny look at Al.

"Jessica, you know I am not thrilled. You and Danny have only known each other for a few months. You aren't even married...

Jessica you will always be my baby girl. And I will love you no matter what. I can only be scared right now. You have such a bright future ahead of you."

"I know daddy. And that isn't going to change. We have a plan."

"Everything is going to be double Jessie. You're going to be a mom of two. Both of you are going to have two babies."

"Like I said, I only have great intentions to give your daughter and grandchildren the best life possible and provide them with everything they need. I will only treat them right and no less."

"Thank you Danny.

What is your plan, to give my daughter and grandchildren the best life possible?"

"I got a job offer in New York. Our plan is to buy and apartment out there. After graduation we are moving out there. Jessica is going to work with my aunt who works in interior design. I will work my ass off so I can support Jessica and the babies."

"Are you going to make her work when she is super pregnant? After she has the babies?" Dorthy says.

"Of course not. I will let Jessica do what she is comfortable with."

"You can't move to New York Jessie! Your home is here, your family is here." Dorthy says as she begins to cry.

"Mom I am doing this for my family. I am planning on going back to school for interior design, I can find better work there."

"Do you really want to move to New York?" Al says

"I really do!"

"Not just because Danny is?"

"Well Danny is a reason, but like I said, the work I can find!"

"You have to do what you think is best. I'm sorry, but what if you and Danny break up? You will be left out there with the babies."

"I won't leave her." Danny says

"Jessie! Why did this have to happen now. You're my baby girl." Dorthy covers her face.

"I'm sorry mom!"

"Do you guys plan on getting married?"

"Not yet, no." Jessica says

Al let's out a sigh.

"You should really stay here in Minnesota. Jessie I don't want you leaving, pregnant. Let alone with twins."

"Jessica, you aren't even married! How do you think this is okay?"

"You can't do this alone. You can't just leave with a guy you have known for 4 months! On top of all that, you cheated on a man that wanted to marry you!"

"We will be fine, everything will be fine! Why can you just be supportive!" Jessica says slamming her hands on the table.

Dorthy puts her head down and Al just stays quite.

Jessica huffs then looks at Danny standing up.

"We're leaving Danny."
