"Can we talk over dinner, Jimmy?" Karl asked as he looked at the man in his gaming chair from his.

"Sure." Jimmy spoke, not knowing what was going to happen at dinner.

————————

"So, what did you want to tell me, Karl?" Jimmy asked as he set down his plate and Karl's plate. Karl watched him then lowered his head. Sure, they have been dating for about a year now, Karl shouldn't be afraid to tell him. But, he was terrified to see what was going to be Jimmy's reaction.

"You might want to sit down." Karl spoke, not lifting up his head. Jimmy looked at him weirdly then sat down slowly in his chair.

"Ok, please don't get mad at me." Karl spoke, fidgeting with his hands. Jimmy got up off his chair and sat down in the chair closer to Karl. He took Karl's hands into his and rubbed the back of it.

"I'm pregnant and it's your baby, Jimmy." Karl spoke. Jimmy lifted Karl's head up and lightly kissed his lips.

"How are you not mad?" Karl asked as Jimmy's lips left his own lips. Jimmy smiled at him and glided his thumb across his chin.

"I'm not mad. I would never be mad. We are becoming a family, Karl. Why would I be mad?" Jimmy spoke. Karl crossed his arms across his chest and wanted to drop his head, but Jimmy kept his head lifted.

"How are you not scared?" Karl asked.

"I am scared. I mean, I don't know how to raise a child, let alone how to even handle one. But I'll learn. And you will too. Every first time parents go through this. Besides, we got our parents who can help us raise them. It's going to be fine, Karl." Jimmy spoke, leaning towards Karl again and kissing Karl's lips. Karl lifted his hand and cupped one of Jimmy's cheeks. Jimmy cupped Karl's face into both of his hands then disconnected their lips. Karl rested his forehead onto Jimmy's and Jimmy wrapped his arms around the upper side of Karl.

"It's going to be ok." Jimmy whispered, his breath gliding over Karl's lips. Karl smiled a little then looked down at his stomach.

"It's going to be ok."

————————

"Oh my gosh." Jimmy whispered as he looked at the ultrasound pictures Karl got that day. Karl peered over Jimmy's shoulder to look at it too, even though he already knew.

"There's three?" Jimmy asked as he looked at Karl. Karl nodded and giggled when Jimmy wrapped his long arms around him.

"It's going to be a madhouse in here with three kids." Jimmy spoke, laughing when he finished his sentence. He kissed the top of Karl's head then rested his chin onto Karl's fluffy hair.

"Yeah. It is." Karl spoke, burying his face into the crook of Jimmy's neck.

"It's going to be ok. We can do this." Jimmy spoke, rubbing Karl's back and kissing the top of Karl's head again. Karl hummed, not wanting to move from their position.

"It's going to be ok."

————————

"Holy shit."

"Breath, Karl, breath." Jimmy reminded him. Karl started to do one of his breathing exercises as he bounced lightly on a yoga ball. He was planning on doing a cesarean section but he wanted to wait until the babies were ready. And it looked like it was going to be any minute now.

"How long was that one?" Karl asked as he rested his forehead onto the mattress of the bed. Jimmy looked at the timer and sighed. He knelt down next to Karl and massaged his lower back. Karl slapped his hands away and Jimmy put his hands by his sides.

"30 seconds and 14 minutes since the last one." Jimmy spoke. Karl groaned then a small moan of pain left his mouth.

"When will my water break?" Karl asked, gripping onto the bedsheets in one hand and the other laid flat on the bed.

"Just give it time. It will break." Jimmy spoke, resisting the urge to hold Karl in his arms.

"I have been giving it time. Too much." Karl snapped, lifting his head up and looking at Jimmy. Tears glazed over his eyes, looking like a wall of glass that could break any second.

"I know. But maybe they don't want to leave." Jimmy tried to reason. Karl groaned then a high pitched scream left his mouth. Jimmy took Karl's hand into his and Karl didn't reject his comfort this time.

"Hold me, please." Karl whined, gripping hard onto Jimmy's hand to make his knuckles go white. Jimmy got in between Karl and the bed and laid Karl's head onto his shoulder. Karl gripped one of his shoulders in one hand and the other was still death gripping Jimmy's hand. He heard Karl start to weep and it pained Jimmy to hear him in this state.

"You are never touching me again because I don't want to do this again." Karl hushed, looking up at Jimmy with a glare. Jimmy smiled and kissed Karl's nose.

"I won't. I promise." Jimmy spoke, combing his hand through Karl's hair once Karl rested his head back onto Jimmy's shoulder.

"You better." Karl mumbled. Jimmy held back his laughter at Karl's attitude. Jimmy rested his hand onto Karl's lower back and massaged it. Karl mustered a small moan at Jimmy's comfort and Jimmy was about to burst into laughter. Karl's head shot up and he glared at the older man.

"I'm sorry." Jimmy whispered, his smile dropping. Karl rolled his eyes then laid his head back onto Jimmy's shoulder. He kept bouncing on the yoga ball, wincing everytime one of the babies moved positions.

"I can't wait to be done being pregnant." Karl spoke, groaning when Jimmy hit a sore spot on his back. Jimmy kissed Karl's neck and his jawline.

"I know. I know, darling." Jimmy whispered into Karl's ear, Karl shook at Jimmy's husky voice. Karl dug his nails into one of Jimmy's shoulders to tell him to knock it off.

30 minutes later

Karl screamed again. The pain was getting worse and his water hasn't broken yet. The contractions were now closer and lasted longer. He now laid on top of Jimmy on their bed, Jimmy's hands wrapped around Karl's stomach. Karl grunted as he became uncomfortable in the position they just got in.

"Want to move?" Jimmy asked as he could feel Karl's shoulder muscles stiffened as he tried to move. He nodded and tried to flip onto his side. Jimmy got Karl off his chest and laid him on his right side. Jimmy hugged him from behind, which he could tell Karl liked. Jimmy traced random patterns on Karl's stomach with the tips of his fingers.

"Jimmy?" Karl asked, pressing his back into Jimmy's chest more. Jimmy hummed, placing his chin onto Karl's shoulder so he could look at him.

"What if I told you my water broke?" Karl asked, looking out the corner of his eye to look at Jimmy.

"Well, I would get you off the bed and rush you to the hospital. Why? Did your water break?" Jimmy asked, taking his chin off Karl's shoulder and lifting it up and over to look at Karl clearer. Karl's face twisted into a look of pain and he nodded his head slowly. Jimmy got off Karl's back and got off the bed. He knelt down onto the bed next to Karl and put his hands into Karl's. Karl opened his eyelids to look at Jimmy.

"Are you ready?" Jimmy asked. Karl shook his head, which caused Jimmy to sigh.

"Come on, Karl. We need to go." Jimmy spoke, rubbing the back of Karl's hand with his thumb. Karl whined, starting to feel nausea. If he moved then things would not be looking pretty. Jimmy looked down at Karl's pants and he saw a huge wet spot by Karl's crotch.

"Karl, we need to go. How about this? Once we get there and have the babies, I will cuddle you and kiss you as much as you want. How does that sound?" Jimmy proposed, smiling when Karl sat up and looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"You will?" Karl asked. Jimmy chuckled and nodded.

"Once these babies are out of your body, then I will." Jimmy spoke. Karl scrambled off the bed and once his feet met the floor, he doubled over in pain and groaned. Jimmy jumped off the bed and ran over to Karl. He took Karl into his arms and just held him.

"That hurt." .Karl sniffled. Jimmy kissed Karl's cheek and helped straighten his body out.

"I know. I know, You think you're ready?" Jimmy asked, Karl whined then nodded. Jimmy wrapped an arm around Karl's upper side while Karl wrapped his arms around JImmy's shoulders. Once they got to the door, Karl stopped in his tracks and moaned, He threw his head back and screamed a small, low scream. Jimmy watched him, not knowing how to help. Once Karl's head rosed back up.], he looked in so much pain and exhausted. Jimmy just wanted to take the pain from him and let him deal with it. Karl looked at him and smiled his signature smile, causing Jimmy to smile back at him and continued their walk to the car.

Once they got there, Jimmy helped Karl into the backseat so he could move around if he gets uncomfortable. Jimmy got into the driver's seat and put the car into gear. He started driving to the hospital or somewhere near it. He actually forgot where the hospital was. Yup, on the most important day of his life, he forgot where the hospital was.

"Jimmy , we need to go to the hospital." Karl spoke up when he realized they were going the wrong way.

"I know." Jimmy spoke, taking a U-turn and driving down the street to see if he could see the hospital building.

"Did you forget where the building was?" Silence. "Jimmy?"

"Yes." Jimmy spoke shamefully. Karl groaned and dropped his head.

"Jimmy." Karl spoke through his gritted teeth. "Keep driving down this street then take a left and keep going until you get to the first street. Keep going down that street until you get to a four way stop then take a right. Then we will be there."

"Thanks, Karl."Jimmy spoke, trying to remember the directions. Karl hummed, leaning back into the backseat of the car and gripping onto Jimmy's hoodie that was huge on Karl, even with his massive bump. He let his eyelids close, and he didn't even reliaze how tired he was, until he woke up to someone shaking his shoulder. He opened his eyes up and saw that he was in the hospital room. Karl whined, not seeing Jimmy because of the bright lights.

"Hey hey. I'm right here. The doctors just wanted to put this mask on you so we can get these babies out, ok?" Jimmy spoke. Karl nodded, his throat hurting like heck. One of the doctors put the mask over his mouth and nose and Karl could feel his eyelids get heavier until he could barely keep them open. He closed his eyes and feel into a deep sleep.

After the procedure

"Karl, wake up." Jimmy whispered into Karl's ear. Karl opened his eyes up and cringed at the bright lights. He placed his arm over his eyes and whined. He then heard another whine and he took his arm off over his eyes. He looked around to see where the noise came from. He then spotted a bassinet next to his bed with two babies in it wearing a blue striped hat and a solid yellow hat. He looked over at Jimmy and saw him holding a baby with a pink hat on. He then looked back at the bassinet and stretched out his hands to go pick up a baby. He picked up the baby with the yellow hat on and he saw that they were wearing a hospital bracelet. He looked at the bracelet and it said "Samuel." He picked up the other baby in the bassinet and looked at the hospital bracelet which read "Oliver."

"Where's Hazel?" Karl asked as he looked at Jimmy. JImmy leaned forward and showed him Hazel, who slept peacefully in Jimmy's arms. Karl looked back down at Oliver and Samuel and examined their features.

"Jimmy?" Karl asked, noy lifting up his head. Jimmy hummed, completely lost in his world. "Cuddles?" Jimmy chuckled, lifting up his head to look at Karl. He placed Hazel onto Karl's chest and kept one hand on Hazel's back and lifted Karl up. He got in behind Karl and placed Karl onto his chest. He kept his hand rested on Hazel's back. Karl laid his head onto Jimmy's shoulder, still looking at the babies on his chest and in his arms.

"I love you." Karl whispered, still lost in his world.

"I love you too." Jimmy whispered back, kissing Karl's temple and smiled at him. Karl closed his eyes and breathed in this moment.

"It's going to be ok." Jimmy's words rang through his head and he believed him. Everything will be ok.
