After the doctor left, David crawled into the bed with Brie. After settling in, she wrapped an arm around her. "We have twins", he said with a smile.
"I know. Our little Jordan and Jacob. Now I know why my grandmother always told my mom and Uncle Seth that they killed her figure. Twins are murder to carry."
"You're mom's a twin?"
"Yep. She the oldest of a set of fraternal twins."
David smiled. "You know we're gonna have to have one more to even things out."
"Please not for another couple of years. My body can't take it right now."
"Nor can my sanity, what little of it I have left."
She smiles and put hand against the roughness of his unshaven cheek. "You have NO sanity left. You fell in love with me", she said with a laugh.
He kissed her softly. "You must have been crazy to begin with because you fell in love with me too."
She sighed. "I love you, David."
He kissed the top of her head. "I love you, too, Brie."

Brie was sleeping soundly when Dan walked in. "This just came for you from HQ."
David looked at him. "Did you check it and that delivery guy?"
"Of course we did. By the way, just thought you might want to know that the delivery guy was the task force commander that got you shot."
David laughed. "So he did lose rank?"
"Yep." Dan held out the package to David.
"No bombs, right?"
"None. There just something in there for you and Brie, something for each of the twins and possibly something for Malachai."
David opened it carefully having set it in his lap. He pulled out the toy that must have been for Malachai. "Could you take this down to him, please, Danny?"
Danny took the toy race car. "No problem. Oh, speaking of Malachai, he's wanting to know when he's going to be able to see his new baby brother and sister."
"After his mama and I have had a decent nap. Neither of us has been sleeping very well the past couple of weeks. We both need naps." David chuckled.
"No problem, brother. You two get some rest, we've got the kids."
David nodded and yawned. "Thanks, Danny."
