"Mike please not today" I begged my husband who had already begun reaching for the bottle in the top cabinet.

He just grunted and wrapped his long fingers around it. He's been like this for a few months now, starting the morning off with a red solo cup filled to the top with coke and whiskey.

"And why wouldn't I?" He poured the liquid into his cup and turned to face me.

"Because I need you to focus today." I wrapped my arms around his thin frame and looked up at him. His eyes looked hollow and it scared me.

"On what"

"Baby come on, please?" I sighed and rested my head against his chest as best as I could without my huge stomach getting in the way. "We have to go shopping for the baby's room"

"Can't you go with Leo or Brittany?" He said pushing me away and walking into the tv room.

"Well I'm sorry if I wanted the father of my first fucking child to help me out with this!" I screamed. "I mean, I might as well just call you that since you seem to hate me anyway. I'm surprised you haven't left me because life is oh-so-terrible here!" Tears sprung to life in my eyes as I yelled.

His eyes went wide and he placed the cup down on the coffee table in front of him. Mike jumped off of the couch and ran over to me, wrapping his arms around me tightly.

"Baby no, I love you. I'm just-I don't know what I'm doing. I'll stop. No more today. No more until you can drink too." He whispered into my hair.

"You said that yesterday. You just keep doing it. I can't deal with this on my own Mikey. I'm so scared." I cried.

His arms were gone and I turned to watch what he was doing in the kitchen. His fingers wrapped around the neck of the bottle for the second time, only this time he began pouring the liquid in the sink. I stood in the doorway sniffling and shifting my weight between my aching feet.

"No more." He finally said once he had emptied the bottle.

"You promise?" I said childishly.

"I promise baby" He sighed and hugged me as tightly as he could without squishing our baby.

So I gave in. I figured having kids wouldn't be so bad after all. He had wanted one so bad, so now we're on our first. It couldn't hurt the world to have a couple of little Fuentes' running around. My hand rubbed over my enlarged stomach and Mike smiled down at me.

"You're appointment is in an hour right?" He asked excitedly.

"Yes" I laughed. We were going to find out the sex today, the one thing he had been waiting for almost five months. It's been killing him to not know what we were going to name the baby.

"Well now, has daddy joined us today?" The ultrasound tech smiled as she squeezed the gel onto my tummy.

"Babe don't make that face it looks like you just smelled a fart" Mike laughed as he walked into the room.

"It's so cold I can't help it!" I frowned as he sat beside me and took my hand. The woman pressed the thingy against my stomach and moved it around.

"I bet it's a girl" Mike said staring at the screen.

"No it's not. It's a boy you just watch!" I objected.

"You're both wrong" She smiled.

"I'm sorry what?" Mike's eyes went wide as he spoke.

"Yeah how does that work?" I was just as confused as he was.

"You're having twins my dear, one boy and one girl"

"Two babies? At the same time?" I almost screamed. A worried look spread across Mike's face. I knew exactly what he was thinking, 'she's going to kill me when we get home'.

"Double everything?" Mike questioned her.

"You know who were twins?" I giggled as the tech wiped the gel from my tummy.

"I don't-"

"LUKE AND LEIA!" I screamed happily.

"You got the first name!" Mike objected. "I only said the first!"

"Anakin and Luna?" My suggestion came out slowly as I watched his face. He thought about it for a while before he started smiling.

"You remembered La Luna?"

"Always" A smile was plastered on both of our faces as the tech walked out of the room.

"We're gonna be parents Vicky" He said quietly.

"You're gonna be a great daddy, don't worry about it" I leaned up and pressed my lips to his.

"I hope so bubby" Mike grinned against my lips before kissing me again.

I was happy, but I knew it wouldn't last. He'll go out tonight and buy another bottle and start the whole thing over again tomorrow morning. That's how it always was, but I wasn't going to let it ruin this moment.
