"Доброе утро!" Ivan said cutely to the large bump on my stomach, "Are you excited, мало одного? Any day now, you will get to meet your Мать и отец, da?"

"Oof… ow!" I grunted as the tiny miracle inside of me, kicked harder than usual at its father question, "I'd say so…"

"Oh… hey now, you should kick your mommy like that, da?" He laughed quietly, tickling my stomach, which only bothered me.

I laughed really hard for a minute, "Stop it! Ivan quit you now I hate that!" I kept laughing, and moaning in between because the baby kicked often because I was rolling around a lot trying to get away from Ivan's hands, "Stop it! Come on!"

"Oh, I thought you liked being tickled love, da?" But even though I practically begged, he did not stop.

"остановить это сейчас, Иван!" I screamed, he jumped, and his arms shot back immediately, "Ha.. He.. he… he…"

"Agh! I'm sorry Toris!" He started, and I could see how much him and Katyusha really were alike, "Forgive me please, da?"

"Okay… but you have… got to… stop when I ask… when I ask you to…" I panted, still getting kicked for my random, rapid movement.

"I promise… I'm really sorry Toris…" He said, bowing his head over and over in the way Yao had showed him meant sincere apology or something like that.

"It's okay…" I said catching my breath, "But you have to… make my breakfast and carry me to our room."

"Deal, da?" He picked me up gently, and carried me bridal style to the bed, and laid me down, "Wait here a second, da?" He left and the next thing I knew there was a little note next to a tray of breakfast foods.

Toris, you fell asleep as soon as I set you down, I made your breakfast anyway, and then I got a call from my boss, I have to go to a meeting. I have my cell phone charged all the way, and my boss understands so call me if anything happens. I should be back before one at the latest.

Love, Ivan

"Awww… " I whined into my pillow, "Today was our day… oh well…" I took a bite of the horribly burnt waffles, "Hmm… better than usual…" So I took another syrupy bite, checking the clock I found it was almost noon already, no wonder I was so hungry, never mind the little eating machine where my stomach should be.

"Ohhh… gosh you got pretty damn big, huh?" I interrogated my baby, who was making it very difficult to walk to the nursery, Gilbert had stopped by to drop off some onesies that Elizabeta had picked out for us, and I needed to put them away, I looked up at the clock.

Two twenty-four.

"Home by one my ass…" I mumbled folding the tiny outfits and then something weird happened, a sharp, red hot pain shot through my whole body, and I felt something wet trickle down my legs, "Oh fuck!" I yelled, and walked to where the phone was.

Ivan's POV

Beep beep "Da? What is dat, Ivan?" My boss asked.

"It's Toris, da? I'm sorry, I have to answer sir."

"Go ahead."

"Hello?"

"Ivan Braginski, you get your ass back home right now!" Toris yelled at me, he sounded tired.

"What's wrong, da?" I asked him, feeling a little confused.

"What the hell do you think?" He demanded more than asked, "Aghhh!"

"I'm coming Toris!" I said immediately figuring it out, I hung up the phone, "Sir I have to go, da?"

"Oh? Is Toris-"

"Da, sorry I have to leave early." I ran out of the room, without even waiting to be dismissed.

I picked up the phone and called Dr. Mindaugus, "Hello? Ya, listen sir. Toris just- yes, I know… It's not my fault the meeting ran lat- we're getting off topic! I don't know how long it will take me to get home, and it would really make me feel better if you were there… since you'd know what you're doing at least…" He agreed to go to my house and take care of Toris for a while.

Toris' POV

"Hej tam Toris!" I heard Feliks call from my front room, "Toris? Where you at cool guy?"

"Medelynas" I called back, taking a big breath.

"Huh?" I heard him drop whatever he had been carrying, and run to where I was, "Where's Ivan?"

"Meeting, would you help me up?"

"Sure thing, to where?"

"Off the floor, anywhere." I said, getting really angry at Ivan for this, "Agh!" I cried out.

"Whoa… calm down dude…" Feliks tried to help me with that, by rubbing my shoulders, "Okay, hold on, and try not to choke me if you get a contraction while I'm carrying you, kay?"

"I'll… try…" I huffed, he picked me up and I quickly put my arms around his shoulders, he carried me to my room, and laid me down, the he apologized and pulled my jeans off.

Ivan's POV

"Dammit!" I yelled, when my car broke down at the off ramp less than a mile from my house, "Today of all days!" I looked up, "This isn't funny God, da?"

I could have called someone, but the closest person to my current location was Gilbert… "Don't be an idiot Ivan…" I wasn't about to swallow my pride, so I ran all the way to my house, it only took an hour and a half.

I burst through the front door, (Which was unlocked and half open) and I heard Toris yell something bad about me, so I assumed that it was about done already. I quickly ran into the room, and tripped on Feliks who laughed at me for a second and then he saw the look on my face.

"You had better… have a good… agh!... excuse for being so… godammed late from that fucking meeting!" Toris screamed at me.

"I'm just happy to see you're both doing okay, da?" I said, taking Toris' hand and kissing him on the forehead.

"Doing okay?" He panted and squeezed my hand very, very tightly, "What the hell do you mean by that?"

"Shh, we can fight over all this later, I'm here now aren't I?"

"Oh yea, speaking of… Feliks… "

"Right! Here you go Ivan."

I choked on nothing, "Da?"

"Agghh!" Toris squished my hand again, and I winced, he was strong.

"Yes, you get to name her." Feliks said, "I'm not joking Toris said so."

"H-…. Her? A… a girl?" I asked trying to get hold of what was going on, "Then… you're still…"

"That's right, Ivan…" I heard the doctor say, I hadn't even noticed he was there, "Toris is having twins."

"Da?" I yelled, and Toris cursed at me and said terrible things that made me smile and hold his hand close to my lips, "I love you so much, da?"

"I hate you! You will never touch me again, as long as you live Ivan Braginski!" He retorted, so I jokingly let go of his hand, "Don't go!" He demanded, I looked in his eyes, I saw fear, it shocked me.

"I wouldn't leave you for the world." I whispered kissing him on his eyelid, he screamed again, and then his whole body loosened up, his hand went limp, and he breathed quick short breaths as if his life depended on it, "Done?" I asked, not really sure how to ask that.

"Yes, just one second, and you can hold your son."

"Da… …" I mumbled, I looked at Toris, his eyes were open, but barely. I could tell he wanted to stay awake, but was very tired, "Do you want to make his name, Toris?"

"Yes, please. But name the girl first…" He sighed.

"Hm… what about… Anastasia, da?"

"It's so pretty… I like it." Toris whispered, watching me as I carefully held the little girl, "I've never seen you so scared before Ivan, you're doing fine, so don't worry okay, love?"

"Da? I don't want to hurt her…" I said, pulling her slowly up to my chest, "Hello Anastasia…" She opened her eyes, they sparkled like little blue gems, and she smiled a very tiny smile, "I'm your Daddy, did you know that, da?"

"ehm" She answered, and I couldn't help but let out a tiny squeal of joy.

"Da! She's so cute!" I said, smiling broadly, "Look see! She has your eyes, da?"

"And your hair color and nose."

"The poor child," I joked.

"Hush, you make big noses look good, can I see the boy?"

"Here you go, Toris." The doctor handed over the tiny baby boy.

"Oh…" Toris sighed, taking the baby in his arms, "Exact opposite…" He mumbled, "Your eyes, and my hair color too…"

"I think I just fell in love, you might have some competition here Toris, da?"

"Just don't marry our son, okay?"

"Deal."

"Hmm, I think… I'd like to call him… Darijus."

"Darijus? It sounds nice, I like it to, da?"

"It means 'good'." He said, closing his eyes slightly, "Could you make some of that formula stuff, I'm too tired to do anything right now…" He mumbled.

"Absolutely I can." I said, and picked up Darijus and took him and Anastasia to the nursery, where I laid them down, and wrapped them up in some little blankets that Dr. Mindaugus had given me.

"So, you've got two kids now, huh Ivan?"

"Da."

"I bet it's gonna be totally awesome!"

"Think so, da?"

"Like totally!" He said, looking through my fridge, "Whoa…"

"What?"

"There's a whole lot of expired vodka in here… I thought you didn't let it last long enough to reach the sell by date?"

"I uhm… give it up until Toris says it's okay again, da?"

"Aww, you guys are uber cuteness!"

"What?"

"He couldn't have anything to drink, so you gave it up, that's so sweet! I'm telling Elizabeta ASAP!"

"Oh please don't, da?"
