Kenzie glanced down at her purse and sighed. She shook her head, the looked back up at Hunter. “Sorry. I just can’t help it. What if something is wrong? What if the baby isn’t growing right? What if it’s too small?”
Hunter rested his hands on her shoulders, stopping her from talking further.
“Kenzie, it’ll be okay,” he bumped their noses together. “The baby won’t be small. It’ll be growing right. Don’t worry, okay?”

Kenzie closed her eyes and slowly let out a breath. When she opened her eyes again, she gave Hunter a small smile.
“Right. Of course. I’m healthy, so there’s no reason for the baby to not be…” she reasoned quietly. “Thanks, hun.”
Hunter smiled.
“Now let’s go,”
(Can you write the ultrasound part? I have no experience in that.)
group
(Sure. Lol. We’ll see how well I do.)
When they reached the doctor’s office where they were having the ultrasound done, they were led to a room with a couple of computers, other medical equipment, a bed, and a few chairs. Kenzie was instructed to lay down and pull her shirt up over her stomach, or at least hold it up. Hunter could sit beside her in the chair that was provided for him.
“Now, I’m going to put some gel on your stomach that helps the machine to read the ultrasound correctly, Sony’s going to be a little cold,” the nurse said with a polite smile before dipping her fingers into a transparent, blue gel and rubbing it on Kenzie’s stomach.
Hunter took a deep breath, nervousness spreading through him. He couldn’t wait to see his unborn child. His future, his pride and joy.
He smiled at Kenzie, mainly because she was his support, and because she needed his support as well.

Kenzie grinned back at Hunter before turning her eyes to the screen as the nurse put the ultrasound thing (I have no idea what it’s called) on her stomach. The nurse looked at the screen as she moved it around, and she made a small sound of surprise.
“Is everything all right?” Kenzie asked, suddenly worried.
“Oh, yes, everything is fine. I just wasn’t aware that you were having twins,” the nurse said.
When the nurse gasped, Hunter's head whipped up in horror. Until she broke the news, he felt like he was going to collapse.
"…Twins…?" he repeated in disbelief. "We're going to have twins?"
group
“Well, yes. Did you… Did you not know that?” the nurse asked softly.
“No, we didn’t,” Kenzie answered, shocked. Not only was she pregnant with her first child, she was having twins!
Hunter was sat in his seat in shock. Two kids. He was going to be a father of twins. Hunter couldn't seem to believe his luck.
"Kenzie," Hunter murmured, still in disbelief. "You are seriously amazing luck."
group
“Babe, this wasn’t all my doing. I can’t control what happens,” Kenzie giggled as the nurse smiled and went back to checking the ultrasound.
“All right, it looks like both babies are healthy and in good shape. They seem to be grown at the correct rate. And I believe you can see the genders if you’d like,” she asked.
(Ohmygodthisissocute)
group
(I know, right?!? I love it!)
Hunter looked at Kenzie excitedly, suddenly feeling like a kid again.
"Can we, Kenz?" he looked at her with wide eyes. "Can we?"
(I'M GRINNING.)
group
(Me too!!!)
Kenzie laughed lightly, causing the babies to move around a bit. “Yes, of course! I want to see, too!”
The nurse grinned and moved the thing on Kenzie’ stomach so that they could see between the first baby’s legs. “Well, this one looks like a girl… See?” She gestured to a small area on the screen.
Hunter looked excited, watching his unborn babies with anticipation.
A girl.
They were going to have one girl. Eden Rose.
"And the other one?" Hunter looked at the nurse, forcing himself to sit still.
group
“Let’s see…” the image moved to the other baby, and Kenzie grinned when she saw it.
“It’s a boy…” she whispered excitedly. “Hunter, we’re having a girl and a boy…”
Hunter stared at the screen in shock before his lips twisted in a grin.
"No way…" he whispered, excitement lacing his words. "Kenzie… this is amazing. Wait till Leo and Willow find out about it!"
group
“Eden Rose and Lucas James… I bet he’ll look just like you, Hunter,” Kenzie said softly, unable to tear her eyes from the screen.
The nurse soon released them and gave them the pictures from the ultrasound, congratulating them on their twins.
Hunter couldn't stop looking at the unborn children inside his wife's stomach. He felt such intense love for them. He swore to himself he'd protect them. He'd make sure they were loved.
"You know…" Hunter started slowly. "A few years ago, I didn't think I'd become a father. Hell, I didn't think I would even get married. You really are something, aren't you, Kenzie?"
group
Kenzie blushed and bit her lip. “If you hadn’t asked me to date you, none of this would have happened. So, really, it’s all your doing.”
Hunter laughed.
“You made me fall in love, so I think I win the argument,” he grabbed her hand. “You wanna surprise our engaged friends now?”
group
“Not yet. I think I have an idea,” Kenzie said with a grin. “We need to go buy some things first, though.”
Hunter turned towards his wife.
"What is it?" he asked curiously.
group
“Well, I want to give them a blank ‘Thinking of you’ card, put one of the pictures in it, and write ‘You’re an aunt and uncle!’ in it,” Kenzie said with a shrug. “I mean, it was your idea, but I thought it would be cute.”
She gasped and grinned, having a sudden thought. “Speaking of cute, we need to go buy baby clothes. And have a baby shower! And get a nursery ready!”
"Easy there, tiger," Hunter laughed. "We'll get that done slowly. We have a lot of time, remember? Do you want the kids to share a room? I don't feel comfortable leaving them alone in a room. I'd rather they stay in the same room until they're old enough to sleep alone."
group
“Well, I think having them both in the same room for a while would be good for them and for us,” Kenzie mused. “So I think that would be good.”
Hunter nodded.
"Yeah, it would be good."
group
“So… Shopping, then visit Willow and Leo, and then home?” Kenzie wondered, giving Hunter a wide smile.
Hunter nodded.
"Only if they let us,"
