(Diane's POV)

I touched my stomach as I paced around the floor, waiting for results on a test that was performed on Erik. 7 months...It's been 7 months since Erik got shot, since I slept with both Ryan and Mark and since I got pregnant. And now I look huge...I look like I ate two huge watermelons whole. And yet I still have three men who love me and want to raise these babies with me...It's really weird. I'm not even beautiful and they love me. I was whisked out of thinking when Ryan came back in with papers. He had no emotions on his face...Could my husband be dying?! Is he never going to be able to hold his babies?

"So..." He looked at my stomach as I rubbed it. "The tests for him being brain dead came back as negative, so he's alive. We have two more months to see if he will awake. If he doesn't...Well you know what will happen." I nod slowly and sit down in a chair. It was nerve-wrecking thinking about Erik dying when I'm this pregnant...I'm going to have my ultrasound done today. "I'm gonna go get prepped." I stood and touched his back. "I want you there to check the babies...Your an important part of this." He nodded slowly, filling out Erik's charts and telling the nurses to give him random medications. "Yeah, I'll be there. I'm excited to see them." He gave me a reassuring smile and left. He's a good guy.

I began to unclothe myself, looking at Erik sleeping. He's such a peaceful man when he sleeps...I kinda forgot what he's like...It's been seven months since I've talked to him...Seven months since I had sex with him...What if he can't pleasure me after he wakes up...Or I can't pleasure him...What if I don't love him anymore?...I pushed all those bad thoughts away when I felt them kick. Two little movements in my stomach, Twice the morning sickness everyday. But it's all going to be worth it when my little babies come in two months. I finally got into my gown after several tries and began to make my way down to the ultrasound room. I smirk when I see Mark walking towards me. I don't know what to call us...But he's been there for me during the pregnancy, to hold my hair and talk to me.

"Hey, you look great." He grabbed my hand as he turned around. "My shift just ended and I saw on our board that you have your ultrasound today. Mind if I watch?" He kissed my hand softly as we walked close to the room. I shrug. "If you wanna see my disgusting stomach and two babies who make me throw up all the time, then yes, you can come." He chuckles and we walked and talked about everything...I really like Mark...I really do think that if Erik died, he would be the perfect man to replace him...Not saying that I want Erik to die...We enter the room and I let go of his hand. I could hear him pout. I turn around slowly and chuckle. "It's only for a little bit darling." He nods and sits down beside the bed.

Nurses helped me into the huge reclining bed and I sigh, wanting to close my eyes. I've been exhausted lately with just having two human's growing in me, and everything else going on...It's been tough, especially when I'm in a hospital. The nurses got me prepped and made sure my bladder was full so they would be able to do the ultrasound. Once in a while I would look up at Mark as he watched them work on me. I like how he cared about me and thought I was beautiful, even though I look like a whale. And I really think us being in a kinda relationship has helped him with his issues. They finally finished getting me ready and Ryan walked in...Wearing his uniform and scrubs...I have to say that he looked nice...He looked grown up. I smile at him, he didn't look at me as he squeezed the jelly.

He sighs and starts up the monitor. "Okay, it's going to be warming up. You wanna know the gender of the babies?" He finally looked at me, trying to show happiness. I shook my head slowly. "No." I sigh "I've always wanted to wait to see...And I think Erik would want to wait too." Ryan nods his head slowly and began to move the handle around my stomach. He was great at his job...He's as good as Mark is...I looked up at the monitor and smile when I saw two babies. "Those are your twins." He cracked a smiles "Their heart rate sounds great and they look up to speed." I looked at the little hands and feet. It got me thinking...

I know I babble to myself a lot...I say random things to myself that could fill two whole books...But seeing this makes me feel...Mature, makes me feel that everything I've done in the past was worth it...It was doing cause I'm getting two babies, two beautiful babies who will be my children. Everything between Erik, Ryan, And I was worth it...I'm married to the world's most beautiful and kind man and I'm going to have his children. I love him, and I just know my children will love him too...They'll love both of us...I'm babbling again...But at least it makes me feel better. I stared at the monitor and reach my arm out to touch the screen. I chuckle and sigh as I stare at the the beautiful children inside of me...That will be with me in two months time. Ryan stopped massaging my stomach and went to the printer. He printed out two pictures of the ultrasound and placed them in my lap.

"Here." He sighed as I he placed them on my lap. "You can always look at them that way. We're going to start you on some prenatal vitamins later and give you some more care for the baby. Otherwise, everything else looks great!" He smiled slightly as he began to clean up my stomach. I stared at the pictures and grin. Mark came up to me and looked at the pictures as well. "Their beautiful." He said and looked up at me. This is perfect...This is all great! I'm going to be a mother soon and Erik will hopefully wake up.

I put the photo down and smile as I feel all the wires that I was hooked up too get released from my body. It was a relief, they were so uncomfortable. I slowly stood up and stretch. I bend over and my eyes widen when I feel a slight pain and water trickling down my legs. I stand up quickly and look at both Ryan and Mark. I don't think they seemed to know what was going on. I felt a slight contraction come on...It can't be happening...Not like this...It's too early. I sit down on the bed as I scream...The contractions were starting up again. Ryan and Mark looked at me confused. Then I heard the gasp as Mark looked down at the ground. I look at both of them.

"I think I'm going into labor..."

DUN DUN DUN
