Chapter 30
Sebastian can barely keep his excitement in as he waits for Chris is return home with the girls so he can tell Chris the news that they've been hoping for. The twins are both boys. He can't wait to tell Chris the news.
He only just got home about ten minutes ago, and so far Chris isn't back with the girls yet. Though he doesn't recall Chris telling him exactly how long he'd be out for, so all he can do is wait for his return.
He'd call Chris and tell him the news, but wants to do it in person. Plus, knowing Chris he'd probably freak out in public as soon as he finds out, and Sebastian doesn't want that. Nor does he think the girls would want their father to embarrass them like that.
But he feels like he just needs to tell someone about it before he explodes. Only problem is that he wants Chris to be the first one he tells, especially when Chris wasn't the first person he told that he was pregnant.
As he waits for Chris, he tries his best to keep himself occupied, but the excitement just doesn't let him. He can't even find himself taking a nap while he waits cause he's just that excited, despite the fact that he is a bit tired.
Maybe he can put a movie on, and try and sit through it until Chris gets back with the girls. It's been awhile since he's had the opportunity to watch a movie by himself. Only he's not too sure if he'll be able to sit through watching a movie because of his excitement.
But he puts on a movie anyway, deciding on BennyandJoon. He hasn't seen that movie in awhile, but it's one of his favorites. So he pops the disc into the DVD player before getting some snacks out of the kitchen. You can't watch a movie without snacks after all, and he is rather hungry right now, so watching a movie without snacks is definitely out of the question.
He just hopes he can sit through the movie long enough before Chris gets home with the girls....

"Girls, ten more minutes, then we're heading home, okay?" Chris calls out towards Taissa and Emma who are over by the water with Dodger rolling around in the wet sand near them.
Chris is definitely going to hate having to wash all that sand out of the dog's fur once they get home....
He doesn't quite hear the girls reply, but he does see that they've heard him, as they both turn to look over at where he's standing with Sabrina right next to him digging in the sand. He suspects that Sebastian may put him in charge of making sure the girls have baths tonight.
Speaking of Sebastian, Chris can't wait to get home and find out the news on the twins. He's very much hoping that Sebastian will have good news to tell him, and he really hopes that at least one of the twins will be a boy.
He really wants a son, but he'd be happy if both twins are girls. But he can't deny that after three girls, he'd be a little upset if they're going to be having two more girls. Just this once, he wants a boy.
Though he and Sebastian really don't know the first thing about raising boys. They know how boys act of course, but they don't know how different raising boys are compared to raising girls. He's sure that they'll be fine in the end though.
"Teddy!"
Chris looks down as Sabrina calls up to him, and he kneels down next to her.
"What is it, Bina?" He asks, as she points over towards her older sisters. "You want to go over to Tai and Em?"
She nods, getting up and running off down towards where her older sisters are standing out in the water, the small waves splashing up against their legs.
Chris is just glad the tide isn't all that rough at all today, and the waves aren't big enough to knock the girls over.
He scoops her up in his arms before she can run too far, and carries her over to her sisters, who both run over to them with Dodger running along behind them.
"Can we get ice cream afterwards?" Taissa asks.
"Yeah, can we?" Emma says in agreement. "Please daddy?"
Chris pretends to think about it for a few seconds. He may have already planned on getting them each an ice cream before heading back home. He'll probably have to get something for Sebastian too. He'll stop off at the bakery and get him a bit of chocolate cake or something.
"I don't see why not." He says. "And about ten more minutes until we head home, okay?"
"Okay!" Taissa says, as she and Emma go back to splashing around in the shallow water, Dodger following along behind them and jumping around in the water.
"Down!" Sabrina says, pointing towards the ground as she tries to wriggle out of Chris's hold. "Down!"
"You wanna go in the water, Bina?" Chris asks, to which Sabrina tries to wriggle out of his hold.
He sets her down on her feet, and grabs a hold of her hand as she splashes the water at her feet around.
Dodger runs over to them, barking up at Chris as he jumps around splashing water everywhere, which causes Sabrina to laugh. Chris laughs too as water splashes all up the side of him.
He's glad that Dodger is having fun just as much as the girls are. And hopefully he'll be too tired once they get home to run around the house and stress Sebastian out.
It's been a few months since he bought Dodger home with him, but he's not quite sure if Sebastian is totally okay with having a dog around the house just yet. Then again, Chris has spotted the pair of them napping together in the living room before, and he has photographic proof.
Though Chris does understand if Sebastian is still not one hundred percent okay with having a dog around the house. Dodger can be very hyper. Chris understands that Sebastian may have a hard time looking after an overly energetic dog, especially while he's six months pregnant with twins.
For the next ten or so minutes, Chris allows the girls to splash around I the water, keeping a close eye on the three of them along with Dodger so they don't wander off or somehow hurt themselves. Until finally he's telling them it's time to go home.
But first, he gets them an ice cream each from the ice cream truck parked out in the parking lot, then stopping at the bakery across the road to get something for Sebastian. Then they're off home.
Where Chris is hoping that Sebastian has some good news to tell him about the twins.
******
After what felt like hours but was really only about twenty minutes, Sebastian finally here's Chris pull up into the driveway, and once more he's filled with excitement. Very soon he's able to tell Chris the news that they've both been waiting for.
They're finally going to be having boys after three girls.
This is what they've always wanted. While they love their girls dearly, they've always wanted a boy, and now they're getting two boys.
Sebastian knows that Chris is going to be ecstatic once he hears the news. Chris is the one that's wanted a son the most.
Pausing the movie - with maybe making unintentional heart eyes at the screen as he notices that he's paused it on Johnny Depp's face (He's always had a bit of a crush on Johnny Depp) - he gets up off the couch and makes his way over to the front door to greet Chris and the girls. He doesn't think he can sot still enough to wait for them to come inside, he's just too excited to tel Chris the news.
As soon as he opens the front door for them, he only just manages to move out of the way in time as Dodger comes racing inside and into the living room.
"Chris! The dog's all wet!" He calls, momentarily forgetting about his excitement to complain about Dodger running inside all wet and with sand all through his fur. "Didn't you try to dry him off before you came home? And he's going to track sand all throughout the house!"
"Don't worry, I'll wash him off in a minute!" Chris assures him as he walks inside, followed by the girls. "By the way, I stopped at the bakery on the way home and got you a bit of chocolate cake, since I got the girls an ice cream each and I didn't want you mission out."
Sebastian looks down at the brown paper bag Chris is carrying, before he takes it from him. He wasn't craving chocolate cake before, but he definite is now.
"Thank you, honey." He says, opening the bag a little to find that it appears that Chris tried to get the biggest piece he could find.
Sebastian definitely isn't about to complain about that though.
Chris leads the girls inside and upstairs while Sebastian shuts the door after them.
While Chris takes care of the girls for now, Sebastian heads back into the living room, groaning in annoyance at the fact that Dodger seems to have rolled around on the carpet in an attempt to get the sand out of his fur. At least now he's quietly curled up asleep in the corner of the room on his bed, but Sebastian is not impressed by all the sand he's tracked inside.
But he doesn't bother yelling at the dog, instead sits back down on the couch, setting the brown paper bag down on the coffee table. He'll eat the piece of cake soon.
First, he's got to wait for Chris to finish up with the girls, and make sure they each have baths. Sebastian doesn't want them going to bed smelling of the beach and with sand through their hair.
And as soon as Chris is done with that, he can finally tell him the news about the twins. He's dying to tell him that they're finally having boys.
Though, Chris still needs to wash the dog and do something about the sand the mutt has tracked inside. Sebastian is in no mood to vacuum right now. His feet are sore and swollen, and he just wants to lay down on the couch and let Chris take care of the dog's mess.
About half an hour later, Chris finally comes back down stairs wearing a change of clothes and his hair all wet. Sebastian guesses that he had a shower after getting the girls to have their baths.
Sebastian looks up at him. "You need to clean up the mess your dog made." He says. "And wash all the sand out of his fur before he gets more sand all over the house."
Chris sighs, sitting down at the end of the couch Sebastian is laying on. "Can't I just sit down for a bit first?" He asks. "And the girls have all had their baths, and Sabrina is down for her nap. Tai and Em are watching a movie in Tai's room."
"Good." Sebastian says. "And, fine. But when Dodger wakes up you're taking him straight out back and giving him a wash. I guess I can manage vacuuming the carpet in a bit."
"Sounds good." Chris says, before looking over towards the TV. "What were you watching?"
"BennyandJoon." Sebastian says. "I put it on while waiting for you and the girls to get home." He then smiles. "And I've been impatiently waiting to tell you what happened."
Chris looks confused for a split second, before realization crosses his face. "So, what happened at your appointment?" He asks. "How are the twins doing?"
Sebastian smiles, sitting up on the couch. Finally he can tell him.
"Well, the twins are both healthy. One is a little smaller than the other though, but otherwise they're both healthy." He says. "And there's something else."
"Please tell me you found out the genders." Chris says.
Sebastian nods, smiling widely. "I did." He says. "And we're gonna have to start thinking of names for boys now, and buying boy clothes."
Chris is quiet, letting what Sebastian had said sink in. "We're finally getting a boy?"
"Two." Sebastian nods. "The twins are both boys."
Chris doesn't say anything, just pulls Sebastian in for a hug.
Sebastian hugs him back, resting his head in the crook of Chris's neck, smiling as he feels both twins kicking from inside of him. Their two little boys.
"We're having boys!" Chris cheers, as he pulls out of the hug to look at Sebastian. "I need to call my parents!"
He's then up off the couch and running into the kitchen to call his parents, leaving Sebastian laughing at the big goof. Though he's off the couch as quick as he can manage as something crosses his mind.
"Chris, wait!" He calls after him. "We haven't even told your parents about the pregnancy in the first place!" He says. "No one knows about it except Anthony, Steve, and Bucky."
Chris stops in the middle of dialing his parents number on the phone, realizing that Sebastian is right. "Shit, you're right!" He says. "Wait no. They know about the pregnancy. Just not that it's twins."
Sebastian nods in realization. They have told all their friends and family about the pregnancy. They've just not told anyone that it's twins.
But he feels like there's someone they haven't told about it at all yet. "Then why do I feel like there's someone we..." He trails off as he realizes who doesn't know about the pregnancy at all. "Shit!"
"What?" Chris asks. "What is it?"
Sebastian looks over at him, eyes widening. "We haven't told my mom about the pregnancy at all yet!"
