Logan's POV- 
On the Sunday morning before her birthday Tori crawled into our bed and under the blanket. Rory was still asleep, and I really wanted her to stay that way. I definitely wasn't prepared for how rough the first trimester would be for her, and this was the first night in probably at least 3 weeks that she didn't wake up in the middle of the night to throw up. I put my finger over my lips so Tori knew that she had to be quiet "Is it my birthday yet?" She whispered. 
"Not yet, munchkin" I told her. Her birthday was on Wednesday. "You still have a few more days" 
I was worried that she was gonna wake Rory, so I got up and brought Tori to the kitchen so I could give her breakfast. 
"And then after I'm 4, I'll be 5"  Tori said. "And then I'll be 6, and when I'm 6 I'm be bigger" 
"Oh yeah?" 
"Yeah, and I'll be tall enough to reach all the shelves" she said. I wasn't so sure about that. "Can I help you?" 
"You wanna help me make the waffles?" I asked 
"Yeah" 
"Alright, come here" I lifted Tori up to sit on the counter. We were in the process of cooking the waffles even Rory walked into the kitchen. 
"Good morning" she said, and kissed Tori's cheek. 
"You feeling ok?" I asked 
"Yeah. Better actually" 
"That's good" 
"12 weeks is almost the end of the first trimester. That's usually when the nausea starts to go away" 
I nodded "Do you want coffee?" 
"Not yet" she said. Rory was only able to have one cup of coffee a day, so instead of having coffee first thing in the morning like she usually did, she'd been having it later in the morning, when she started feeling tired.  
"Mommy, I'm helping" Tori said 
"I see that"

Rory's POV- 
Logan and I were in Dr. Lee's office for the 12 week scan. I was super excited, but I think Logan was somehow more excited. After this appointment we'd start telling people.  
"Everything looks good here..." Dr. Lee said. "I do see something interesting though" 
"Something bad?" I asked 
"No, not bad" Dr. Lee said. "I just see 2 babies" 
Shocked. Literally speechless. 
"I'm sorry" Logan chuckled a little. "What?" 
Dr. Lee turned the monitor. I could immediately see that there were in fact 2 babies. "That" she pointed to one of them. "Is one baby. And that" she pointed to the other. "Is another one" 
I couldn't help but laugh. 2 babies. It really wasn't funny, but one I started laughing, I couldn't stop. 
"Are you ok?" Dr Lee asked
"2 babies" I laughed. "2 babies?" 
"2 babies" she nodded. I stopped laughing. 
"Wow, that's...wow"

2 days later was Tori's birthday. We had a small party for her, just family. My mom and Luke. Honor, Josh, and their kids. Dad and Gigi. Everyone was just hanging out, eating lunch. I was standing in the kitchen, getting juice for Tori, when my mom walked up next to me "Are you ok?"
