Two months after the wedding. Things have started to settle down for both Thomas and Emily. Thomas enjoys his job as a computer technician, while Emily is about ready to start her residency at County General. Emily and Thomas live about 30 minutes from Abby and Luka. They have a three bedroom home, with a huge back yard. On Sundays both families get together for Sunday dinner after church. On some Sundays Ray and Neela join them for dinner. This is one such Sunday afternoon. Ray: " Thank you for inviting us to dinner Emily, your house is just beautiful." Emily: "Thanks Ray, glad you, Neela, and the children could come." Neela: "How are things going, you know with the pregnancy? Emily: "It is going good, I have an appointment with Dr. Coburn tomorrow. Neela: "I thought Janet retired?" Emily: "She did, I am seeing her daughter Linda, she took over her mom's practice." Abby: "I kind of wished that Janet would have waited to retire, until your babies were born. Emily: "Mom I know her daughter will be just as good." Abby: " I know." As they are talking Olivia comes running into the kitchen. Olivia: "Mommy, daddy, Andrew says when the baby is ready to come, they will take a knife and cut it out. Ray: "Andrew James Barnett, come here right now." Yells Ray. Andrew: "Yes daddy." Ray: "How many times do we have to tell you not to torment your sister like that. The baby is not going to be cut out with a knife. now apologize to your sister." Andrew: " I'm sorry Olivia." Olivia: "That's ok Andrew. Mommy I want to see the baby now." Neela: " Honey we can't see the baby yet." Emily: " I have an idea. How about tomorrow when I go in for my ultrasound, you can be in the room with your mom, Susan, and my mom, so we can all see the baby." Olivia: " Can I mommy please?" Neela: "Sure honey." Olivia runs out of the kitchen, and joins her brother Andrew in the living room where he is watching cartoons. When dinner is finished and the dishes are all done up, Abby pulls Luka off to the side. Abby: " Could you go out to the car, and bring in the box I have on the seat." Luka: "Sure." Luka runs out to the car and grabs the box. He comes back inside. Luka: "Here you go Abby." Abby: "Thank you. Emily in this box is something very special to both me and your father. Emily takes the box and opens it. Emily pulls out a white baptismal gown. Abby: "This is the same baptismal gown we had you baptised in. It is also the same gown that your father was baptised in, when he was a baby. Emily: "This is just beautiful. I think a third generation Kovac should were the gown for his or her baptismal." As Emily wipes a tear from her eyes.

The next day, Abby, Emily, Neela, and Olivia go to Dr. Coburn's office. A few minutes later the nurse comes out. Nurse: "Emily, you can come back now." Emily: "Would it be alright if my mom and friends join us?" Nurse: "Sure, not a problem." Everybody walks to the back. The nurse takes Emily's weight, and then they all walk back to the ultrasound room. The nurse has Emily change into a gown. Before the nurse leaves she takes Emily's blood pressure. Nurse: "Well everything is looking good so far." Emily: '"That is good." The nurse walks out. Everybody in the room starts talking. Emily: "Well I wonder what this baby is going to be?" Abby: "Have you picked out any names yet?" Emily: "No not yet." Olivia: "You could name the baby after me?" Everybody starts laughing. Emily: "That would be cute if the baby was a girl, but what happens if it is a boy?" Olivia: "You could name him Teddy, after my bear." Neela: "We can figure out names later, let's see what this baby is going to be." A few minutes later Dr. Coburn walks in the office. Coburn: "Hello Emily, this must be your family." Emily: "Yes it is, this is my mom Abby Kovac, her friend Neela Barnett, and Neela's daughter Olivia." Coburn: "Glad to meet everybody. Should we get started?" Dr. Coburn has Emily lay down, and begins to do the ultrasound. As she is doing the ultrasound, Abby notices something on the screen. Abby: "Am I seeing what I am seeing?" Emily: "What mom, what is wrong?" Abby; "Nothing is wrong, but I am seeing two little ones in there. Coburn: Yep, that is what you are seeing Mrs Kovac. Those are twins. Looks like they are identical. Neela: "Oh my gosh, this is so great. Look Olivia two babies." Olivia: "I will have two dollies to play with." Neela: "Those are not dollies honey, those are babies." Coburn: "Do twins run in your family." Emily: "Yes they do, on my dad's side, and I was a twin myself." Coburn: "Oh where is your twin today." Abby: "Her twin did not make it. Both of the babies were born preemies. Joseph her brother did not make it. Coburn: "Sorry to hear about that." Abby: "Your mother did everything she could do for him, but he was to small." Coburn: "My mom was a very good doctor." When they are done, Emily gets dressed. They get the ultrasound pictures, and set up Emily's next appointment. They walk out of the doctors office. Emily: "Mom, I would like to swing by the cemetary, I have few people I need to see." Abby: "Sure honey, we can do that." They drive out to Memorial Hill Cemertary, Emily gets out of the car and walks up to the first headstone. She starts talking to it. Emily: "Hey uncle Mark, we all miss you very much. Well I got married, and now I am going to have my first babies. Yes twins. Both of them boys. Elizabeth, Rachel, and Ella are all doing good. Well I need to get going, need to go over and visit with my brother. See you uncle Mark." As Emily is walking towards Joseph's grave site, she notice Kerry over at Sandy's grave. Emily: "Hi Kerry, how are you doing?" Kerry: "Hi Emily, everything is going great, I just came out to visit with Sandy, what are you up to?" Emily: "We just got back from the doctors, I had my ultrasound today." Kerry: "Well what are going to have?" Emily: "Twins, both of them boys." Kerry stands up and gives Emily a hug, and congratulates her. As they are talking Abby, Neela,and Olivia joins them. Kerry: "Hello everybody, congratulations grandma." Abby: "I am not going to get use to being called grandma." Neela: "Get use to it, because in 5 months you will be a grandmother." Emily walks over to Joseph's grave. Emily: "Hey little brother, I wish we could have grown up together. Well just to let you know, you are going to be an uncle. Yep I got married and now I am going to have twins." As Emily is talking tears are falling from her eyes. Abby comes over and puts her arms around her daughter. Emily: "Oh mom, I am so scared of having these twins. I don't want the same thing happening." Abby: "Emily Maggie Johnson, do not say that everything is going to turn out for the good. You have to keep up the faith." Emily: "I know mom." Abby: "Well about we go over to the hospital, pick up your dad from work, and go out for dinner tonight." Emily: "Sounds good." Abby and Emily walk out of the cemetary hand in hand. ___________________________________________________ Please comment.

Later on that evening at dinner. Emily, Thomas, Abby, and Luka are discussing what happened at the doctors office that day. Emily: "I have something to tell you both." Thomas: "Is everything alright with you and the baby?" Emily: "Yes the babies and I are just fine." Just as Emily says babies, Luka drops his fork on the floor, and Thomas starts chocking on his piece of meat. Luka: "Did I hear you right, you said babies?" Thomas: "You mean twins, right?" Emily: "Yes I said babies, and yes that means twins." Thomas: "That is great honey. Now we have to come up with a name for both of them. Emily: "We are going to have two boys. Luka: "I am going to have two babies to bounce on my knee." Emily: "I was thinking of names, Joseph William, and Jaden Luka." Thomas: "I like those names." Abby: "I love the names, those are good picks." Luka: "Yes good names." Luka gets up from the table, and leaves. Emily: "Mom I was thinking, why don't we ask grandpa to come from Croatia for the birth of his great grandchildren?" Abby: "Would that would be great, your father has not seen his tata for quite a few years." Emily: I am sure that djed would like that." Abby: "I will have your father give a call when we get home." Luka returns to the table. Abby: "Emily and I were thinking, that it is time that your tata comes for a visit." Luka: "I will give him a call in tomorrow. He would love to be here for the birth of his unucad's." Emily: "Great, thank you dad." On their way home, Abby tells Luka of Emily's visit to the cemetary. Abby: "Emily stopped by and visited with Joseph today." Luka: "I know she visits quite often, I glad for that. She needs to keep close to her brother." Abby: "I wonder what Joseph would have been if he had survived." Abby wipes tears from her eyes. Luka puts his arms around Abby, and lets Abby have a good cry. When they arrive home, both Abby and Luka go in the house, as they are heading upstairs. Abby stops by the picture of baby Joseph. Abby: "Laku noc svjoa angel." Luka: "Couldn't said it better myself.'" Abby touches the picture and heads up the stairs. ____________________________________________________ I hope my Croatian was ok. I found a English-Croatian Dictionary on the internet. I messed up anything please let me know. Thank you.

Abby: "Ok Luka you don't need to get upset over a parking space, look there is one opening up right now." Luka: "I know, it's just I have not seen tata since Emily and Joseph was born. Abby gives Luka a kiss and they head inside the airport. They head to the gate he will be landing at. When they get there they have a seat in the lobby, and wait. The announcement for the arrival of the plane comes shortly. A few minutes later Luka sees a familiar face come through the door. Luka: "Halo tata , kako ste dogadaj." Josif: "Halo, Luka and Abby." Luka gives his father a hug, and they head for the baggage claim. Luka: "Kako ide leða home Josif: "Predmet kod kuæe jesu velik."

Luka: "Hey Jerry, this is my father Josif." Jerry: "Hello sir, glad to meet you." Luka: "Jerry, have you seen Emily?" Jerry: "She was in tramua one helping out." Luka: "Ok, thanks." Luka, Abby and Joif walk towards tramua one. Luka spots Emily helping Suan and Kerry working on a small boy, who is thrashing about on the gurney. Luka walks in to help out.
