Gideon was pacing in front of the front door while he was waiting for Carol and Raymond to get back from the hospital. He had been pacing back and forth in front of the door for at least two hours now. Raymond was five months and sixteen days pregnant now and he today they were finding out if they were having a boy or a girl.

He heard a car door slam and he opened the door and ran out to meet Raymond. "Any news?" Gideon asked.

Raymond nodded excitedly and took off his jacket as he walked in. "We're having twins, and we're having a boy and a girl."

Gideon's eyes widened in shock before he hugged Raymond gently, "That is so wonderful."

Carol smiled at the two as she walked in the door and said, "Raymond told you then."

Gideon nodded and said, "Looks like we get to use both the names we picked out."

Carol looked confused and said, "When did you two pick out names? And what are the names?"

Gideon laughed and said, "We picked out names like, two months ago, and the names are Zakai Alvin and Zandra Elizabeth."

"Your grandpa and your aunt?" Carol said, "It works. Zakai Alvin Restin and Zandra Elizabeth Restin. They have a ring to them."

Gideon grinned and said, "I'm still wondering what our children will look like."

Raymond laughed and said, "Me too. If they are anywhere near as beautiful as you are they will be just fine."

Gideon grinned and said, "If there anywhere near as beautiful as you are they will be fine."

"If you two don't stop I'm going to slap both of you." Carol said, "It's cute but it's annoying."

Gideon grinned and looked back at Raymond, "Xatrin and Kevin invited us to go to the mall with them and Paulie and Dean."

Raymond nodded, "Sounds fun."

Gideon looked at Carol, "Can you drive us mom?"

Carol nodded and said, "Sure, even though we just got home from being gone."

Raymond laughed as he put his jacket back on and said, "Why do you insist I wear this thing?"

"Because it might start raining." Gideon said, "And you aren't getting sick."

Raymond shook his head and sighed, "Three more months."

Gideon looked puzzled, "Don't you mean three and a half?"

Raymond shook his head, "No, they're going to operate to get the children out at eight and a half months."

Gideon nodded and said, "Ok, three months."

Gideon helped Raymond into the car and sat down next to him and put his paw on Raymond's stomach. He grinned as he felt two simultaneous kicks. Raymond smiled at him and said, "Did you feel it?"

Gideon nodded and said, "They're going to have a good... mother."

Raymond grinned and said, "They're going to have a good father, and a good grandmother, and a good grandfather. They're going to have good everything."

Raymond leaned his head onto Gideon's shoulder as they pulled into the parking lot of the mall. "Thanks mom." Gideon said as he got out.

He helped Raymond out and they walked into the mall. They looked around to spot their friends. They saw them sitting on a bench and went to join them and Kevin said, "Holy shit Raymond, you are huge."

Raymond laughed and said, "Yep, I'm bigger than Paulie is. I'm having twins."

Paulie stood up and said, "That's great."

"Yep, a boy and a girl. What about you?" Raymond said.

Paulie smiled and said, "I'm having a girl."

"Good, our daughter will have someone to play with." Raymond said.

"Ok, this is a weird conversation." Xatrin bursted in, "What are you naming the kids?"

Paulie spoke up first, "Oh ya, we're naming our daughter Jasmine."

Raymond grinned and said, "We're naming our boy Zakai and our girl Zandra."

"Liking the Z names eh?" Kevin said.

"We weren't expecting twins." Raymond said.

Paulie grinned and said, "Oh well, what are we going to do anyways?"

Kevin grinned and said, "I was going to suggest bowling but Raymond is so big he might fall over."

Raymond laughed and said, "Very funny. I'm fine with watching."

Kevin grinned and they all walked out of the mall to Kevin's car. Kevin drives them all to the the bowling alley which is just down the road and they all get out, Raymond taking a seat at their lanes while the other five get shoes and pick out a bowling ball. Gideon sat down across from Raymond and asks, "Are you hungry?"

Raymond nodded and said, "Yes."

Gideon grinned and stood up and walked to the counter of the bowling alley's kitchen. He ordered food and took the receipt and put it in his pocket, memorizing the number on it so he would know when to get the food. By the fourth frame his number had been called and he walked up and got the food, coming back and putting it in front of Raymond. "Oh thank god, something that isn't salad." Raymond said.

Gideon grinned and said, "Be happy, you aren't getting anything else but salad until after our children are born."

"Ya, and you have to take me wherever I want." Raymond grinned.

Gideon nodded, "Yes I will."

Raymond grinned and started eating the food. The other five kids bowled one game, not wanting to play anymore they decided to go into the arcade in the back and play pool where Raymond and Paulie both sat out. Paulie grinned as she put her paw on her stomach. "Feeling her kick?" Raymond asked.

Paulie nodded and said, "Want to feel her kick?"

Raymond grinned and placed his paw on her stomach. He felt the kick instantly and laughed. "You want to feel my children kick?" He asked her.

Paulie placed her paw on Raymond's stomach and felt the two simultaneous kicks. She grinned at Raymond and said, "Jeez they're strong."

Raymond laughed, "They are Gideon's children."

Paulie nodded and said, "It's still a little awkward to talk to you while you're pregnant."

Raymond nodded, "I know, Gideon still has a hard time calling me a mother when we talk about the babies."

Paulie said, "Ya, Dean does as well, maybe thats just at being shocked he's going to be a father."

Gideon laughed as he came over, "She nailed it." He hung his poolstick on a rack next to the table and sat down next to Raymond. "I also can't believe that I get to have children with the man that I love."

Raymond leaned onto Gideon and kissed him. Gideon put one paw on Raymond's stomach and grinned again. He left his hand there and felt kick after kick. Raymond laughed and said, "They know they're daddy."

Gideon smiled, "I hope so, I've read to them for two hours every night and then play music until Raymond falls asleep."

Raymond hit Gideon on top of the head and said, "That was my idea, and it's a good idea."

Gideon laughed and said, "It is a good idea, but you could read to them too."

Paulie smiled at both of them and said, "Raymond was definetly good for you Gideon. You laugh so much more often now."

Gideon leaned his hed onto Raymond's shoulder and said, "That, I know."

Raymond kissed Gideon again and said, "And I know he's been good for me, besides the fact that he got me pregnant at least."

Gideon groaned, "How was I supposed to know? You're happy about it anyways, so stop using that."

Paulie laughed, "Mood swings are killer aren't they?"

Gideon nodded and said, "Did you get them?"

Paulie shook her head, "Nope."

"Dean is lucky then." Gideon replied. "But I still love you." Gideon said as he kissed Raymond again.

"We say I love you a lot." Raymond said.

Gideon grinned, "I can't help it considering it's true."

Raymond laughed and the rest of them finally finished playing pool, "You guys ready to go?" Kevin asked them.

The three nodded and they stood up, Dean helping Paulie and Gideon helping Raymond. Raymond walked awkwardly because of his stomach and he got a lot of stares. He laughed everytime Gideon started to count the people staring. "Just give it up." Raymond said, "There are always going to be people staring, at least, until I have my children."

Gideon laughed, "Our children." They got into Kevin's van and Kevin took them home, groaning everytime he had to turn onto a busy street.

"I hate this town, it's so small but it's always got a busy street." Kevin said.

Gideon laughed as they turned into his driveway. Gideon got out and helped Raymond down, "Thanks for the ride."

"I might as well have given you a ride. I owe you that much after kicking your butt at bowling." Kevin said.

"You beat him by one pin hun." Xatrin said as he kissed Kevin.

"I still beat him." Kevin said.

Xatrin laughed when he saw Kevin's blush, "Come on, we've been together for half a year now, public displays of affection are ok."

Kevin glared, "I have my own views."

Raymond laughed as the van pulled out. "They're going to be arguing all the way back to Xatrin's."

Gideon laughed with Raymond for a moment before opening the door and helping Raymond out of his jacket. Wyatt ran up to Gideon and grinned, "Whatchya doing?"

Gideon looked confused, "Coming home from the bowling alley."

Wyatt asked, "Do you want to play some video games with Troy and I?"

Gideon grinned, "If I get to pick the game."

Wyatt laughed, "Alright."

"How are you doing on that game I got you for Christmas anyways?" Gideon asked.

Wyatt grinned, "I beat that forever ago."

"Are you hungry Raymond?" Gideon asked.

Raymond nodded and Gideon turned to Wyatt, "Do you and Troy want something to eat?"

Troy yelled, "Sure!" down the stairs.

Gideon laughed and walked into the kitchen where he made a salad for Raymond and put some pizza rolls in the microwave while he was doing so. He walked back out to Raymond and gave him the salad and said, "Maybe I'll let you have some pizza rolls."

Raymond glared as Gideon helped him upstairs. "I can walk you know."

Gideon laughed and said, "I know, I just want to make sure you won't fall."

Raymond said, "You really are paranoid."

Gideon grinned, "I know."

They walked into Troy and Wyatt's room and the two pulled apart from their kiss. "Finally, something to eat."

Gideon laughed, "Where are Mom, Dad, and Clarice?"

"They're at Aunt Lizzy's house. She called them to help her out and they left us here alone." Wyatt said, "Apparently they wanted to give us some alone time but forgot that we have no idea how to use a oven or a stove."

Gideon laughed again, "Well, eat, and don't eat all the pizza rolls. I promised Raymond he could have a few."

Wyatt grinned at Raymond and popped one into his mouth. Raymond started shoving salad into his mouth and swallowing. He made quick work of the salad and instantly took a handful of the pizza rolls and stuck his tongue out at Gideon as he put each one into his mouth and chewed before swallowing. "Two things that isn't salad in a day. I feel special now."

"You are special." Gideon said, smirking at Raymond.

"Very funny smart ass." Raymond said.

"Now now, watch the language. We're in the presence of small people." Gideon said, smirking at the two cubs that were now sitting on the bed kissing each other non stop. "You two want to break apart long enough to play a game like you asked me to?"

They broke apart and Wyatt grinned while Troy blushed, "What do you want to play?" Wyatt asked.

Gideon grinned and said, "I'm going to dominate you at Halo 3, that's what."

Wyatt grinned, "You can try."

They played in matches of two, Wyatt vs. Gideon and Troy vs. Raymond. Gideon laughed as Wyatt growled at him after getting completely dominated. "Let's see here, 15 kills and 1 death to 1 kill and 15 deaths. Not looking so good for you is it?"

Wyatt growled and gave his controller to Troy. Troy made up for Wyatt's horrible loss but Raymond wasn't exactly good at any video game on the xbox 360. "Ugh, I hate the Xbox so much." Raymond said. "Worst, game system, ever!"

Gideon laughed and said, "I know, I know. You prefer the PS3. Tell you what, I'll get you a PS3 for your birthday."

Raymond laughed and said, "Don't you guys already have one?"

Gideon shook his head, "Naw, my parents sold it and replaced it with a PS2. They complained that games for the PS3 cost to much and they were already spending to much money on the Wii and Xbox 360."

Raymond grinned and said, "Ok then."

They continued to play video games with the two cubs, occasionally switching to something else so Wyatt might have a chance at winning. Gideon grinned as he beat Wyatt at another game, yet again. "You suck at this game." Gideon said.

Wyatt grinned, "You suck at more games that I do."

Gideon laughed, "Good point, but the games that are harder are the games that I'm good at. Mostly because I prefer mature games over littly kiddy games."

Wyatt shut off the game system and said, "Well, Troy and I still have school so we have to go to bed."

Gideon grinned at the two cubs and said, "Don't do anything, Clarice will be home soon and you know she's going to check on you every half an hour."

Wyatt groaned, "Why does she do that?"

Gideon laughed again and said, "Because she doesn't approve of a twelve year old and a thirteen year old having sex with each other."

Troy grinned now and said, "Fine whatever." He crawled into the bed and Wyatt crawled up next to him. Gideon and Raymond left the room, closing the door firmly behind him.

"You know that they are going to lock the door right?" Raymond said. Just as he said that he heard a click behind him and nodded, "Told ya."

Gideon grinned and held up one claw. Before Raymond's eyes the claw thinned and Raymond stared in wonderment. "I found that out a few months ago. I decided to keep it a secret. You would be surprised at what I can do with my claws."

Gideon picked the lock silently and he heard it click and took Raymond downstairs. "Now Clarice gets to walk in on them."

Raymond grinned, "You've been setting them up for a while haven't you?"

Gideon laughed and put an innocent look on his face, "Why would you think that?"

Raymond grinned, "You're mean."

Gideon laughed as they sat on the couch in the living room and Gideon turned on the TV. "What do you want to watch?"

"Think your mom would care if we ordered something On Demand?" Raymond asked.

"She never uses it so she won't find out." Gideon said as he grinned at Raymond. Gideon pressed the button on the Remote control that took him to the on demand menu and Raymond showed him what movie he wanted to watch. "A chick flick?" Gideon asked, his eyebrow raising slightly.

Raymond nodded and said, "Come on, I heard it was a good movie from Paulie and I liked the last one she suggested."

Gideon ordered the movie and Raymond said, "Thanks love."

Gideon smiled and put his arm around Raymond and Raymond laid his head on Gideon's shoulder. "No problem sweetheart."

Raymond kissed Gideon as the movie started. Like most chick flicks it started out happy. About a half an hour into the movie Clarice came inside and said, "Mom and dad are going to be home later."

Gideon grinned and said, "Go check on Wyatt and Troy."

Clarice looked confused but she did so. She came back downstairs a moment later followed by Wyatt and Troy, who were both only in boxers. Wyatt glared at Gideon and said, "Why did you have to pick the stinking lock?"

Gideon laughed and Clarice slapped him, "Hey! Raymond and I are watching a movie here."

Clarice just glared at him and sat down while Wyatt and Troy went back upstairs to go to bed. Clarice cried at the same parts Raymond did, like all chick flicks there were plenty of sad parts. Gideon dried Raymond's face off each time so the fur on his face wouldn't mat. Gideon felt like crying to at the end, mostly because he hoped that Raymond and his relationship to turn out that way.

"Fine, Paulie wins. Two movies she said are good are good." Gideon said. "You tired yet?"

Raymond grinned and said, "Nope."

Clarice grinned and took the remote before Gideon could say anything. "If Raymond is into chick flicks now I have a whole bunch we could watch."

She played one and Raymond put his head back on Gideon's shoulder. They sat there watching movies late into the night and early into the morning. That all ended when they got a call from their mom. Gideon answered the phone and said, "Yes mom?"

"Gideon. Oh Gideon, your dad has had a heart attack." She said.

Gideon's heart sunk and he dropped the phone and said, "Raymond, can you stay here and watch Troy and Wyatt for a while? Clarice and I have to go the hospital."

Clarice looked concerned. "Why?"

"Dad had a heart attack." Gideon said.

Raymond nodded and said, "Go."
