I looked into my little mouse's twinkling eyes and grinned, giving her a quick hard kiss.
"Yeah," I said, "Yeah, they are." I stood up and scooped her up in my arms, kissing her with everything I had.
"Ahem," a throat cleared. "Might I recommend getting dressed first, before you do anything else, hmm," the doctor said, motioning at my exposed rear end through the back of the gown.
I grinned and looked at Dar, "I don't know temptress, what do you think?" I said pretending to think about it.
She laughed happily and it was the best sound I'd ever heard.
"Seriously though little bro, put some damn pants on!" Neyenn cut in, shielding his eyes.
"Ow Mol, quit it! What did I say?!"
Revenge is a dish best served....
Darlah
"Your cousin looks... different," Marre said trying to be solicitous, but you could tell from the expression on his face, he was thinking the same thing everyone else was, Exinn looked ridiculous.
"I can't picture him choosing that particular hair style, to be honest," Perre said, eyeing Exinn like he'd just found something that smelled awful.
Exinn looked horrible, I thought to myself. He was completely absent of all body hair and it's not a good look for a Rellian male.
I smiled and absently rubbed my tummy where it now had a baby bump showing.
"There's my little mouse," Jaye said as he came up next to me, fitting me into the crook of his arm and reaching a hand over to rub my belly.
"And how is my progeny?" he joked and I swatted at his arm.
"Stop calling him that!" I said exasperated.
He looked thoughtful for a moment and then grinned unrepentantly. "How about 'the fruit of my loins'? 'the product of my superior sperm'? 'Jaye Jr.'? 'Lil Jaye'?..."
I put my hand over his mouth, gently, to shut him up. "How about 'the baby', hmm." I said cutting him off.
"How do you know it's a boy," asked Marre curiously.
"Just a feeling I have," I replied giving him a little half smile.
"Well, you’re right about one thing," Perre, said smiling sweetly at me.
"They are definitely both boys," Perre and Marre both chuckled simultaneously.
Perre laughed out right, when we both just stood there looking at him.
"Beg pardon?" I said looking down at my stomach.
"Hooray for the pinky twins and their super sniffers!!" Jaye exclaimed, getting a dirty look from both Marre and Perre.
"I'm having twins!" he shouted to the room at large, kissed me hard and started doing a victory dance.
It was a terrible dance, and I started giggling as he continued to do it. I had a funny feeling he kept it up just because it made me laugh.
"Soooo, like Exinn's new ‘do’?" Mol said sidling up next to me.
Watching with me as my husband and 'soul mate' made an ass out of himself. A very cute ass, but still.
"Love it!" I laughed out loud.
I slid her an appraising glance and asked what I’d had a sneaking suspicion about since I'd seen the new 'do'. "It was you, wasn't it Mrs. Mol?" I asked smiling at her knowingly.
She said nothing for a minute and then gave me a huge smile shrugging, "Nobody messes with my family."
We both slung an arm around each other, giggling like hyenas as she told me the whole story of what she likes to call, 'Exinn's journey to hairlessness'.
“You are positively evil my friend,” I said smiling at my sister in law.
She jiggled my arm a little, “That’s sister to you missy!” and we chortled together, enjoying the scenes going on around us.
Epilogue
The progeny are born

"Pay up fellas," I giggled as they all started to fork over their dough for losing our little bet.
"How did you know he wasn't going to pass out when the babies were born?" Marre asked, his eyes narrowed suspiciously at me and I threw a grin in his direction, not looking up again as I counted my winnings. Sometimes guys were such suckers, I snickered. I do have to admit though, I think Marre might be on to me. He hasn’t said anything yet, however, and I’m most certainly not going to. Maybe I’m just being paranoid?
I sloughed my suspicions off and answered Marre’s question. "Because, Jaye is not a weenie when it comes to stuff like that. Dramatic and a little self absorbed, sure, but the man is no slacker when it comes to Dar. He wouldn't do that to her on the principal alone that one, he wouldn't want to miss anything, and two, she needs him right now," I said smiling at Marre sweetly. Marre smiled back at me and chuckled shaking his head a little.
"Oh, gag Mags, you make him sound like a candidate for sainthood," Neyenn snorted.
"You're just sore because you lost," I said sticking my tongue out at him, earning a chuckle from both Ponne and Marre.
"Here, here!" Molilah laughed, nudging Neyenn and smiling at him. Neyenn just smirked and continued to rub his very pregnant wife's tummy.
Perre, who looked a little belligerent, crossed one set of his arms, muttering, "I still say the little blue worm could have passed out."
I smiled, willing myself not to bust up at that. A few minutes later, I excused myself and went down the hall, turning at the corner, pausing until Mol came around the corner too, to meet me.
"That was too easy," I giggled, handing over her half of the winnings.
"Oh, I know," she laughed conspiratorially.
"How is Jaye really doing by the way?" I asked my fellow partner in crime, concerned for our blue buddy.
Mol snorted and smiled. "He's fine, he didn't hit the floor that hard and the doc says he has a really hard head," she confided and shrugged.
"Plus, once he came to, he popped right back into gear and is currently gushing over Dar and the babes," she disclosed, pride showing in her expression for her bestie.
"Oh, here's his half, by the way," I said handing over Jaye’s share. "Well, that was fun," I giggled, enjoying the little schemes I assist Mol in from time to time. "We should do business again, Mam," I giggled again and smirked at her.
Mol was about to reply, when Nona popped out of nowhere and cut in with, "You ladies can't have all the fun, you know. Next time count me and Muna in. We want a piece of the action," she said excitedly and started off.
We both looked at each other for a minute and then burst out laughing.
