A couple weeks later, Taylor and Denise and other family members were waiting in the VIP waiting lounge for the guys' plane to land. Marie, Alicia, and Jane were all fussing over Taylor's stomach and kept feeling the babies kicking and moving around. "Maybe they'll be soccer players..," Alicia said with a grin.
Taylor laughed, "Maybe..it feels like they're playing the world cup right about now though.."
"I bet..but its still great.."
"It is..But I swear, AJ keeps calling and asking me how I am and all this other stuff..it getting annoying!"
Jane laughed, "Brian told me all he keeps talking about is what he want to name them, if it'll be boys or girls or whatever, and if he'll be a good father or not. He said AJ was getting repetitive!"
"I wouldn't doubt it.," Taylor said sitting down.
"So..have you started on the babies room yet?," Marie asked.
Taylor nodded, "Yeah..me and Denise did some work on it. We painted it this really pretty blue color and the border is sooo cute. It has these cute little teddy bears on it..AJ'll probably think its wimpy but I love it."
"It sounds cute. We'll definately have to come over."
"Definately. Umm..let's see what else..we got the window treatments and the cribs..and Denise got two car seats and carrier's.."
"Sounds like you got pretty much everything.."
She nodded, "Just about."
Just then, the doors opened and the guys rushed in. Hugs and everything were all around. Taylor grinned as AJ locked eyes with her and dropped his bags. "Well..look at you..I'm gone for three months and now.."
"I know..I'm huge!"
He laughed, "No you're not..you look beautiful."
She wrapped her arms around him tightly, "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too..what the hell?!," He said pulling away.
"I think thats your two children saying hello..," She said smiling.
He placed his hands on her stomach and felt the two babies kick again. He smiled, "That is so cool.."
"Yeah..its real cool when it feels like a football game is going on inside you.."
"So..how are you?"
"Tired..but good..you?"
"Worn out..I'm so glad we're home.."
"I'm glad you're home to..wait till you see the babies room.."
"You did it?"
"Denise helped!"
"Well thats good..I'm sure I'll love it."
She smiled and the other guys came over to fuss over Taylor and the two babies. "OKay..I never had this much attention before! I think you all just love me cause of the babies..," Taylor said folding her arms.
"Aww Taylor! You know thats not true!," Brian said.
"Uh huh..sure..whatever."
"You know you love us.," Nick said with a grin.
"Umm..not so sure about that.."
"HEY!"
"Just kidding! Yes..I love you all oh so much!"
"Good."
"Now, can we go home?," AJ said.
"Yes..quit your whining.."
"Okay.."
The guys and girls and everyone split up. Taylor carried AJ's backpack while he got his other bags. They walked out to the expedition and got in. "You mean to tell me you drove this thing by yourself?"
She nodded, "Yep..its not hard."
"But-," He started as he pulled onto the interstate.
"AJ..I'm pregnant..not totally imcompetent.."
"I know..but I just want you to be careful.."
"Always am..plus, you're here so you can drive me around."
He smiled, "And get you food in the middle of the night.."
"That reminds me..can you stop at a 7-11 and get some pickles and peanut butter?"
He scrunched up his face, "Eww.."
"Hey! It sounds good.."
"Fine..yes, I'll stop at a 7-11.."
"Thank you baby."
Sometime in the middle of the night Taylor got up and went downstairs. She sat in a kitchen chair and ate her pickles and peanut butter. She looked at the clock and saw it read 3:15 a.m. "These midnight cravings are annoying as hell.," She said more so to the cat and dog.
AJ groaned and stumbled into the kitchen, "Baby..what are you doin' up?"
"I got hungry.."
"Now?"
She nodded and licked the peanut butter off her fingers. He groaned and grabbed a glass of water. "You can go back to sleep..," She said.
He shook his head, "I needed some water anyways.."
"Oh okay..."
He made a face at the stuff she was eating, "Is that good?"
"Uh huh...don't ask me why..cause if I wasn't pregnant I'd probably be thinking this was gross. But right now, its good.."
"Just promise me after the babies come, no more of this weird crap?"
"I promise."
"Good.."
"Come here..," She said standing up.
"What?"
"Feel."
He smiled and put his hands on her stomach. The baby on the right kicked him hard. He laughed, "I don't think he likes me too much.."
"He?"
"I have a feeling this one's a boy.."
"What about baby on the left?"
He placed a hand on her left and felt a softer kick, "Hmm.I dunno..I think this one's a boy too.."
"Okay...we still haven't talked about names.."
"I know..what would you want to name them?"
"Let's go upstairs..k?"
"Okay.."
They walked upstairs and got into bed. Taylor pulled the sheets over her, "Umm..for girls..maybe..Alexandria Marie and Jordan Brooke.."
"I like those..what about boys?"
"Umm...personally, I like the name Nicholas.."
"Okay..Nicholas Alexander?"
"I like that.."
"Okay..umm..I like Christopher..Christopher James."
She nodded and smiled, "I like those."
"Me too.."
"Later..I have a doctor's appointment..we can find out the sexes..want to come?"
"Of course..I've missed a bunch of appointments already.."
"Okay..I guess we should get some sleep.."
He nodded, "Okay..night baby."
"Night.," She said kissing him.
He grinned before laying down and closing his eyes. Taylor groaned inwardly as the babies continued their 'soccer game' inside her and she tried to go to sleep.
