A wide smile instantly curves Kari's lips and she shakes her head. "Okay, I was trying to wait to tell you, but I just can't." She raises her eyebrows. "I'm pregnant."

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

A moment later, David comes wandering out of his office, frowning as he stares around.
"What's going on?"

highly-ranked incredibly alert and with-it FBI agent here, everybody

"Oh, wait, really quick, can we go see Eli so we can tell him?" Chris asks, raising his eyebrows hopefully.

NO, CHRISTOPHER, CALL YOUR MOTHER

"Chris asked him why you guys weren't expecting another one yet."
Hannah laughs suddenly, and then claps her hand over her mouth. Kari stares at her in disbelief.
"Hannah, you're not -"
Hannah nods quickly, her eyes bright.

THESE IDIOTS

"Yeah, um, about that..." She grins and raises her eyebrows. "I'm pregnant."

nice one, Han.

"Oh," Kari breathes as an idea begins to form in her head. "Oh, you know what could be really fun? If you don't tell anybody besides Eli and me, and maybe Chris, that you're pregnant, and we can announce it at the party and surprise everybody."
"Oh, man," Hannah laughs, "that does sound like fun. Yeah, okay, I'm down with that. You wanna come over tomorrow so we can start planning?"

yeah that's not gonna hurt anyone's feelings at ALL

Ben holds up his hand.
"Okay, truth time, guys, did you plan this?"
"No," Eli says with a snort.
"I know you guys are best friends, but I mean... knocking your wives up at the same time? Did you have a calendar or something? Sync your watches? Or better yet, sync your -"
"Ben!"
The loud chorus of his name makes him jump, and he glances at Madison. "I said too much, didn't I?"
"Yes, Jesus, shut up."

okay yes a much better reception than I feared xD

"I know I already said it, but congratulations, honey," she says, pulling Kari into a hug. "I've tried not to be the 'so when are you gonna give me some grandkids' mom to Chris, but I have to admit, the itch was growing, especially since you guys got married."

oh good someone freaking told her

Panic instantly seizes Chris's heart. "Is something wrong with the baby?"
"No, no," Kari says quickly, reaching for his arm and pulling him down beside her. "No, everything's fine, it's just, um - there's two."
"Two?" Chris repeats dumbly.
"Two babies. I'm - we're having twins."
Chris stares at her a moment, his brow creased. "Twins?"
"Yeah," Kari says with a quick laugh.
There's a beat of silence, and then Chris breathes, "Holy shit."

Well, to be fair, his office is a little more removed than it used to be, so he's not right in the thick of things like he was XD AND MAYBE HE WAS ON THE PHONE OR SOMETHING.

okay yes a much better reception than I feared xD
Everybody's pretty chill XD And they all know that they didn't keep it from them maliciously or something, they just wanted to surprise everybody.

oh good someone freaking told her
Of course they did. I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MAKE IT A SCENE.

*delighted crowing*
I knew you'd like that XD

(The next two fics are super angsty, oops...)
