Yolanda's story (it was very hard to choose between hers and yours, though!)
DS's name Reid Emanuel (AmandaJane) and DD's name Isabella Ariane (Nikki)Story:
Bat's second pregnancy, like the first one, wasn't planned. Bat and Ian were getting out of a hotel, each of them holding a twin - they were late to catch a plane! They didn't even have time to grab lunch, so the band's manager arranged for them to have a meal on the car, on the way to the airport. As soon as they entered the car, Bat exclaimed "Eww... what the hell is that smell? It's awful!" Ian's assistent told her it was probably the onions from their lunch. "Onions!", said Jonas in his seat - he gets very excited about words he knows. "I thought you liked onions..." said the assistant. "She does." Ian replied, looking at his wife weirdly. She did like them, but the smell was bothering her terribly - although it was fine with everyone else! Ian's assistant joked that maybe she was pregnant. Ian laughed but Bat thought she might be right - she took the test when they got to their destination and it was positive! Ian was very surprised (yet insanely happy), and Jonas and Eva were very excited too - although they really didn't understand the concept.Time was passing and Bat was getting big - too big in fact. They had only seen one baby the first time, but the second exam showed two little girls - again, fraternal! They definitely run in the family. During this pregnancy Ian was able to stay home with her and the twins - the oldest and the youngest! - while he and the band worked on the new album. Bat had ended up publishing her first poetry book and Ian was actually turning a couple of her poems into songs!This time, the birth wasn't so pacific, though. The twins were born five weeks before due, and when Helena was born, the doctor realized the second girl was in the wrong position and they had to do an emergency c-section. When Bat woke up from the anestheatic she was told the girls had to stay in incubators for some time. It was hard on both her and Ian not to be able to take them home right away, but the girls ended up being healthy. Unlike Jonas and Eva, who look like a female/male version of each other, Helena and Lux are nothing alike! Lux has curly blonde hair and Helena has jet black straight hair. Helena was named after a song by Ian's mother's band, Alice Blue Deny, and Lux was also suggested by her - it came from one of her favourite books.
