One step at a time. Literally. Trine did as the physical therapist told her, her hands hanging onto the bars as she slowly made her way down the line. She knew it happened to Kitty but she wasn't sure of herself. But opening her eyes after her change and standing made it real before her.

"Alright, you're doing great!" the woman smiled at her as Trine moved her legs.

"Just wish the left one would get stronger." she stated.

"In time Trine, in time."

"Yes, but this woman is impatient." she heard a familiar voice speak up.

Looking over, she saw Kitty making her way over to her, her belly protruding out even more as she made it to the end of the way. Trine smiled at the woman as Kitty handed her the forearm crutch.

"Now Trine, keep working on the exercises and your leg will be less cramped." the therapist told her, "And don't go too far, Juliet wants to speak with you then."

"That' alright. I'll wait for her."

She heard Kitty giggle beside her as the woman left, "If only she knew how you really are able to walk."

"Humans and personifications do not mix my dear." Trine chided her as her sights went back to the large window to the other side of the hall. "Although I am curious as to who those three women are?"

"You haven't heard?" Kitty smiled at her as she leaned closer to her, "They are supposedly Helsinki, Copenhagen, and Reykjavik."

Trine's eyes lit up, "What, are you serious?"

"Ja. The boys were lucky and found them before Genesis could get their hands on them. From what I gathered listening in on Lukas, Francis was guarding one while Iryna had one working in the government building. Logan was lucky to bump into the last girl after a conference in New Zealand."

"Then what the hell are we sitting here for?" Trine couldn't move fast enough to greet the new girls joining their family.

She was a ball of emotions as it was, from gaining her legs back to all that was going on within her home and her latest wonders also plagued her mind, but having new women join in was exciting. Before long they were before the three women, taking a new breath of happiness.

"Hej." she exclaimed.

"Hallo." Kitty followed behind, "We saw you three over here and thought you'd like a moments company."

"Ahov!" the dark-blonde beamed at them, "Thank you for being so kind. I'm Valeriya Bakaj."

"It's a pleasure, I'm Trine Oxenstierna."

"And I'm Katyusha Bondevik, but you can call me Kitty for short."

"O, ukrayinsʹkyy?"

"Nei, Russkiy. Close though."

"At least someone will understand me." she smiled at them, "Oh I forgot these two. I'm sorry guys."

"None taken." the dark haired one shot at her.

"Now come on, don't be rude." Valeriya tried to reason with the woman.

"I'm being quite fine thank you. Olivia Turner, nice to meet you. Just not used to this cold. So, if you'll all excuse me, I'm going farther in to get warm."

Then the woman was walking off, her stride holding high but even Trine could see hurt lying behind her.

"Emil." Kitty whispered to her.

"Ja agreed." Trine nodded looking at the light brunette at the window, "And finally?"

"Oh!" Valeriya jumped up, tapping the window, trying to gaining the girls attention, "Sweetie?"

She was met with deaf ears as the girl's sights were set outside in awe and wonder. "Well, she'll say hello eventually. She seems lost in her world, I tried not to break her of it."

"Instead of breaking her, why not try and get in her world?" Kitty pointed out.

"If only I knew how."

"Don't worry, all of us girls will be around each other a lot, we'll figure it out." Trine replied, noticing the alert band upon the woman's wrist, "It'll just take time and the right things."

"True. That is true." Valeriya said as she rubbed her hands together.

"Cold?" Kitty asked.

"Ni, just habit to have them on. I have my reasons." the once chipper attitude slowly fading away as she looked at her hands.

"They are pretty though, silk?"

"By looks they seem it but they're-"

"They're a mix of satin and spandex, ninety percent satin as the other ten is the spandex to help it stretch and stay upon the woman's arm in motion and yet be comfortable instead of constricting. They are more for opera usage than freelance."

The three of them looked over at the woman as her cheeks blushed a bright red, "Désolé, I didn't mean to intrude."

"No, we're actually glad you joined in actually." Trine smiled at her, watching as the quiet woman made her way over to them.

Her soft tresses fell around her face as sweet jade eyes looked at them, so quiet and calm she was compared to their boisterous moments.

"You seem to know a lot about clothing?" Kitty questioned with a smile.

"Oui, I do. I am a seamstress back home along with other things."

"Would that include dance, swim, or gymnastics?" Trine added, "You have dainty hands so the seamstress makes sense there yet your legs are very defined in workout."

Another dotting of blush came to her, "Oui madam, ballet."

"Ooh really?" Valeriya lit up, "You dance ballet?"

She gave a quiet nod as they all took off in simple conversation as she heard her name being called out. Turning around, she saw Juliet smiling down the hall at her, a folder in hand waiting for her to see.

"I'm sorry girls, I'll have to catch up later. Doctor business calls." she dismissed herself as they all waved to her.

Now this was the true kicker of the day, wondering if her thoughts were right and maybe get Berwald out of the damn workshop for more than five minutes again.

"Alright Juliet, give it to me."

The British woman laughed, "Eager to get home?"

"Eager to know the truth."

"You already know the truth." Juliet smiled at her, "It's just a little more than you thought."

Curiosity crossed her mind as she opened the folder and seeing the papers inside, only then did she realize and gasp at the truth. She had a thought but nothing like that, now the goal was telling the boys this news. And that was going to be interesting all on its own.

"Berwald?" a silent house to her normally meant the boys were in trouble. "Berwald? Boys?"

She moved around the lower level of the home as worry filled her slightly, "Come on now boys, what trouble are you causing?"

"Trine."

Trine let out a startled yelp as a set of hands clasped onto her shoulders. Turning around, she was met with aqua eyes and that small smile that graced his face when he was causing mischief himself.

"Berwald, dear lord, trying to kill me?"

"Nej, but I do have something to show you. Come on." he said taking her hand.

He practically dragged her up the stairs, his iron grip proof that he was excited for something. If memory served her right, she knew that he and the boys were fixing the office up last and making it easier for everyone to sit in for meeting and more. But why would he be that excited?

"Berwald please, what's going on?" she got out as they made it to the door.

He turned to face her, his smile bigger and eyes wider as he clapped his hands together, rocking back and forth upon the balls of his feet, now she was curious.

"Alright you are acting like Mathias when he's done something, what did you boys do?"

"Ok, I could be wrong but I have a feeling I'm not." he started, "I took a lot of notes of how you were acting and asked the men around us about it and all pointed to the same thing. As I said, I could be wrong and we made this room a bit early but we'll leave it alone until that day."

He couldn't have figured it out, "What day?"

He opened the door and gestured her in, the smile never leaving his face. Slowly, Trine went within the room only to attempt and hold back tears. She couldn't believe her eyes as she took everything in. There within the room was a full handmade nursery, from the handcrafted furniture to the painted murals upon the walls, it was the most breathtakingly beautiful thing she had ever seen. The honey wood finished to the rocker, crib and changing table was just too beautiful as she saw his own gentle designs of the old Nordics graced them. He brought forth their old years as Vikings, it was as if the room was a lookout over the sea as Viking ships were sailing the seas upon the walls.

"Berwald..."

"Wait, one more thing." he said closing the curtain and flipping a switch, just for the room to illuminate in vibrant shades of the rainbow as a makeshift aurora borealis covered the ceiling.

She couldn't utter a word as the beauty of it took her breath away, clinging tightly to the folder Juliet gave her earlier. It was perfect and the damn bastard knew before she did.

"So," he turned them off and lit the room up once more, making his way over to her, "am I right?"

Tears slipped down her cheeks as she nodded to him, "Yes Ber, I'm pregnant."

He smiled again, this one bigger than the last yet she knew inside he was dancing around like a child within.

"So momma, are you really going to have a baby?" she heard Erland asked from the door as he and Peter graced its frame.

"Yes boy's I am. Oh, which reminds me, I know what we are having."

The two boys flew in as they waited patiently for her to reveal the sex of the baby, "Alright, this one is yours first Berwald. You look at this and tell me what you see. And you two wait for me to tell you to flip them, when I do I want you to shout out what it is ok?"

They nodded in excitement as her gaze went back to Berwald as he stared at the tiny picture within his hand. He traced the outline of the image within her as her own smile grew, not just in happiness but what she knew.

"Trine, why is there an A and B on it?" he asked.

"Alright boys, what is it?" she barely got it out as the two of them flipped them over and jumped up.

"It's a girl!"

"It's a boy!"

A quiet pause filled the air as the two boys looked at one another, making Trine giggle at them all.

"No Erland, it's a boy."

"You're reading it wrong, it's a girl."

"It says boy on here."

"Yours is wrong, it's a girl."

"Momma!" they both shouted at her as she tried to hold in her excitement as Berwald took off his glasses and looked her right in the eye.

"Two. Två, två barn. Tvillingar? Twins?" he somehow got out as he looked back and forth between her and the picture.

"Wait so we're both right?" Peter ask as Erland's jaw dropped.

"Looks like you boys need to make another set up." she smiled at them.

The boys whooped and hollered as they dodged out the door, shouting how exciting it was that two babies were coming instead of one.

"Two Trine, twins?" he asked her again, "How did we manage that?"

Trine busted out in laughter as she picked up the other ultrasounds, "Just lucky. But yes, twins. Look, he's right here and she's here."

She placed the two pieces upon her slowly showing belly as his eyes widened even more as he finally smiled at her. Before she realized, he hoisted her in the air, spinning her around as he kissed her. Pure happiness radiating off him as she too beamed at the knowledge.

"Thank you Trine." he finally stopped, placing her down upon her feet.

"For what?"

"For making me the happiest man that I've ever been."

Trine's heart sang out, knowing he was the same for her. He dropped to his knees before her, grasping her hips within his hands just to place small kisses to her belly where their children laid.

"And thank you for making me the luckiest woman in the world."

Those bright aqua eyes looked up at her once more and she knew she would never have to worry for anything. For as long as he was there, life would be absolutely splendid.
