Atticus: It’s funny, she doesn’t look pregnant at all from the back…
As frustrating as this job is, Atticus is finally moving up.
He’s been promoted to Corporal!
Tiara: “Couldn’t you just, I don’t know, not call my parents? If they get mad you can say you forgot!”
Atticus: “What the-”
Tiara: “See!? You should just let me go!”
Atticus just scowls.
Day led into day as the household waited for Danae to pop.
Atticus finally had a break in his case and arrested a clumsy blonde at the park. She tried to claim that all that stuff “kept falling into my pockets!”, but he wasn’t buying it.
Third Trimester
Eating again.
Danae: “So… twins, huh! Double the fun right?” She sighed wearily.
Atticus: “It’ll be okay babe; we’ll be fine. It will be a lot of work, but my mom will be here now to help you during the day, and I’ll do everything I can when I come home.”
Danae: “I know, two just… never sounded so big before.”
Atticus: “Well there’s two of them, but there are also two of us. As long as neither of them are a little Charlotte we can do this.”
Danae cracked up. “Oh for sylvan’s sake, I hope we don’t get a Charlotte! I love your sister, but…”
Atticus: “Oh I know, I know.”
She wiped away a tear and blew him a kiss.
He leaned in a bit. “So, Missus Hopper, how do you feel about heading upstairs with me?”
Danae: ;D
Careful you two, that seems a little strenuous for a someone about to pop the third trimester… Also:
CHIMMY-CHANGA!
I know it’s technically a pool guys, but are you really getting any exercise out of those “Laps” there?
Why do you two keep doing these things to me?
Tem: “What are you doing?”
Atticus: “Dancing.”
Tem: “Is that what you call it?”

After a visit with her OBGYN (Dr. MCCC), the happy family discovered that they were expecting not one, but two squirming bundles of joy!
(The DeLion bloodline certainly doesn’t do things by halves, does it?)
Second Trimester
Atticus: “So there’s a little me, or a little you in there, huh?”
Danae: “That’s what they keep telling me. Whoever it is better stop kicking my bladder though, or I’m gonna wet myself. Either way we’ll find out today.”
