Roan nodded at what Rafe said, but he couldn't help but worry even if things would work out like Rafe said they would. Roan's parents were both killed by hunters when he was younger, so he didn't want anything like that to happen to him again or even to his son. "Well I'm not going to feel better until you're both safe at home," Roan said, believing that he said similar earlier. "Plus Kai will be staying with me while you're working until the doctors say that I'm completely recovered."

"I just can't believe it," Hikaru said softly, nuzzling his face gently into Alex's shoulder as he continued to hug Alex. There was one question that he wanted to ask the doctor before they left though, gnawing away at him. "Can you tell if the twins are fraternal or identical?" he asked the doctor curiously after pulling his face away from his boyfriend so that he could look at the doctor as he spoke. He knew that it wasn't possible to tell the babies' gender yet, seeing as they were still developing, but it should be easy enough to tell what type of twins they are, right?

"That's understandable and okay. As long as one of us is looking after him most of the time is good enough for me. I'll rescue him and. Ring him back safely so that you can be happy again and not be so worried," Rafe said in reply to both of Roan's statements before kissing him softly on the forehead and held him close comfortingly.

Alex smiled happily at Hikaru's nuzzle and hug that he gave him before hearing the question that was posed to the doctor. She looked curious at first but then recovered and said in reply gently, "No we can't tell that from just looking at the screen. We'll have to find that out when they're born." Alex listened to what she said and understood before looking at his love again to see what his reaction would be to that.

Roan nodded his head gently, looking up towards the cieling. "Hey Rafe, do you think that the doctors will let us walk around the hospital a bit if I walk around with the oxygen tank?" he asked as he closed his eyes. He was really looking forward to seeing Hikaru so he could hear how the appointment went.

Hikaru was a bit confused when the doctor said she couldn't tell, but he didn't bother questioning it. He thought it was possible to tell because he heard stories of women funding out from the surroundings around the growing babies. "Do you think I could get a picture of the ultrasound? I want to show my friend and his boyfriend." Hikaru looked over at Alex, giving him a smile and kissing his cheek. "We better start stocking up on diapers," he said with a few giggles.

"I think that should be fine,” Rafe said in reply to the question he was asked before pressing the button on the side of the bed that was used to call a doctor or nurse if you needed anything. A few seconds later, a nurse came in and asked what they needed and Rafe asked the same question that Roan asked him regarding them walking around the hallways with the oxygen tank. She said that it would be okay if hey did that and if Rafe went with him which he nodded in acknowledgement that he’d do before she nodded and left them again. “Want to do that now or wait?” he asked after the nurse left.

“I apologize. I’m still new here so I’m not sure if you can tell that or not because I’m not that experienced yet,” the doctor said when she saw Hikaru’s confused expression in response to what she had said earlier before she heard his next question. “Of course,” she said with a smile before a few clicking sounds were made and then the whirring of the printer was heard as the page printed out. “Here you go,” she said before adding a few minutes later, “You two are free to go now if you wish and you can always call if you have any questions or concerns about anything.” After she had said that last statement, she left the room and went to attend to some of her other patients.
Alex listened to everything the doctor said and thought that was understandable before seeing the ultrasound that was printed out for them. He smiled again at seeing it before nodding in reply to what the doctor said in her way out before hearing what Hikaru said. “Yes we should as well as bottles and clothes,” he said with a small chuckle before kissing him softly on the forehead.

Roan was quite surprised when Rafe called a nurse into the room, but he was also kind of glad because he needed to stretch his legs out a little bit. "Yeah, I'd like to go now," he answered with a smile before sitting upon the edge of the bed that had the oxygen tank. He felt a little lightheaded, but he soon placed his two feet on the floor, slowly standing up before grabbing the roller that held the oxygen tank. "Are you ready to get going?" he asked with a smile as he made his way over towards the door. It was kind of weird having to roll around an oxygen tank, but he'd get used to it.

Hikaru just nodded his head at the doctor's explanation, not really caring that she didn't know. Maybe he could even figure it out himself through pictures on the internet. When he was handed the picture of the ultrasound, he couldn't help but let a smile form on his face as happy tears welled up in his eyes. These were his babies. The children he would call his own for the rest of the life, and it made him so happy. He already loved the both of them so much even if they weren't even born yet.
Hikaru couldn't help but giggle a little bit at what Alex told him, knowing that was true, but they would need more diapers than anything else. "Well first we have to go see Rafe and Roan at the hospital. I really hope that they're doing alright, especially Roan," he told Alex as he stood up, pulling his shirt down so that his stomach was no longer uncovered. He patiently held out his hand for Alex's, wanting to hold it tightly in his own. "They've already been going through so much with Kai getting kidnapped and then Roan's health problems also had to pop up again. It must be hard for the two of them..."

Rafe smiled and nodded before going over to him to see if he needed any help in getting up but it didn’t seem like he did as he stood up on his own just fine. “I’m ready if you are,” he said just before offering his hand to him so that they could walk together.

Alex was also happy at seeing the ultrasound of their twins before he heard what else Hikaru said. “Okay let’s make that our next stop. I’m sure they’re fine and I’m worried about Rafe too because he’s going through this again. Let’s get back to the car so that we can visit them at the hospital and share the good news,” he said in reply before offering him his hand.

Roan grabbed Rafe's freehand with his own, the other being occupied by the roller for the oxygen tank. He began to walk towards the door of his hospital room, ready to start walking around since his legs needed some stretching. "So Rafe, would you like more children in the future?" he asked, wondering what it would be like for Kai to have a younger sibling or two. Would he get along with the other siblings, or would he be better being an only child like some children were? If Kai became a handful when he's older, maybe one child would be enough for awhile anyway.

Hikaru took Alex's hand with a big smile on his face, tugging on Alex towards the way out. "So Alex, with the babies on the way, how are we going to sort this whole apartment business? I could see if I can't transfer my lease over to either Rafe or Roan, and I could move in with you since you have the lease to your apartment, right?"

"Maybe in a year or so when Kai's a bit older," Rafe said in reply to Roan's question before frowning slightly when he heard their boy's name spoken from his own lips. He then thought of slightly happier things to make the frown go away so that he wouldn't make the former worry too much. "Would that be okay or should we try a bit sooner than that?"

"Rafe might be the better person to transfer it to since Roan's in the hospital and he's I have the lease to this apartment. I like the idea of you moving with me because that way we'll be able to take care of our babies better," Alex said in reply with his own smile as they walked out of the hospital together and back to the car.

Hikaru nodded in understanding, smiling as he heard Alex talk about their babies. "You know that you'll have to help me move my stuff over, right?" It made him so happy to think about their future like that. "I really hope Roan gets better soon," he said with a sigh. Everything had been really stressful for Roan and Rafe from the shooting to Roan being back in the hospital after Kai got kidnapped, and he hoped that things would turn out for the better soon enough for the couple.

“Of course and I do too,” Alex said in reply to both Hikaru’s statement and question as they arrived back to the car. He unlocked the car with the key fob and then opened the passenger door for the former before helping him get in and then went over to the driver’s side and got in shortly afterward. He then started the car when both of them were buckled and started to drive to the hospital that Rafe and Roan were at to visit them.
