#sorbert

Today had been nothing short of an exhausting day for you. You had been to the doctor to see how you were doing in your third trimester–which was progressing nicely, just a few more weeks–then did some grocery shopping, which you were extremely stubborn about doing despite both of your husband's protests.

Now, at home at last, you were settled between Gelato's legs, back pressed to his front as his calloused fingers gently caressed the stretched skin of your stomach, tracing every stretchmark as Sorbert tsked. “You overdid it.” Sorbert, who was down by your feet, gave you a half-hearted glare, “Your ankles are very swollen. You were on your feet for too long.”

You let out a huff, earning a chuckle from Gelato, “He's right. You completely overdid it, cara. What ever will we do with you?” He teased you. A tight frown spread across your face, you knew he was only teasing, but with your emotions already a mess, you could only retort, “I'm tired of sitting around all damn day. I want to do things, not sit here and be useless just because I'm carrying our kids.”

Sorbert's features, once soft, immediately sharpened like a dagger, “Excuse you?” He sat up straighter, “You don't get to say that about our wife.” Gelato sighed and shook his head, “That's very cruel of you.” His lighthearted tone had gotten colder, “We don't appreciate you talking badly about yourself, cara… Maybe we should punish you for that.”

You stiffened, your face growing hot. Sorbert's fingers grasped your chin and tilted your head, making you look at him. God his stare was so intimidating. “Apologize to yourself. Now.” You stared in shock for a moment, before caving, “I uh… Yeah. I'm sorry.” You finally said.

Both of the men were satisfied, Sorbert leaned in and kissed you, his lips melding into yours, while Gelato peppered your neck with gentle kisses. You let in a sharp breath through your nose, melting under their affection. Gelato detached from your neck and would mumble against your ear, “Let us take care of you. We're your husbands, our job is to make our already hardworking wife take it easy. You're already growing two children inside your body, that's more than enough.”

Sorbert pulled back, letting out a breathless sigh, “We love you, so much.” His hand went from your chin to gently grasp your neck, “Don't you ever forget that.”

Tears stung your eyes as you finally managed a shaky nod, a sniffle escaping you. Sorbert and Gelato took their time to pepper you in kisses and whisper soft praises that you knew they meant.

Just a few more weeks. Just a few more weeks and then you can finally push these little monsters out… You all couldn't be happier.

When you finally went into labor and brought your twins into the world, you were beyond exhausted. Despite this exhaustion, you were happy, finally able to hold the little ones in your arms. You were holding the younger twin in your arms, admiring his little face, while Sorbert was holding the older twin.

Gelato stood between the two of you, his head leaning against Sorbert's shoulder, staring in awe. “They're both so small.” He murmured. Sorbert turned his head and pressed a kiss to Gelato's temple, “He looks like you, caro.” Gelato smiled, “Huh. I guess he does.”

As they talked, you listened quietly and thought to yourself, ‘That must mean Gelato is the biological father then.’ You smiled softly, before glancing back down at the little one in your arms again, but then it hit you. The younger twin looked a lot more like Sorbert.

You glanced at your husbands, “Hey… This one looks more like Sorbert.” They snapped their heads at you, confusion evident in both their faces. They both moved closer to get a better look.

“That… Should be impossible.” Sorbert's brows furrowed as he reached out to trace the baby's nose, which more closely resembled his own, sharp and curved like his. Gelato stared, confused, “So… Who's the actual biological father then?” He wondered out loud. “Yeah… I'm wondering about that too.” You added on, before all three of you glanced over at the door. Right on time, the doctor walked in, pausing when the attention was all on her.

“Uh–Is everything alright? They didn't swap the babies, did they?” She joked awkwardly. “No ma'am,” Sorbert started, “We just realized that our babies look like… Well, like both Gelato and I.” He gestured to both himself and Gelato. “I thought children were supposed to have only one biological father.”

The doctor looked puzzled, before choosing her words carefully, “Well, if you wish, we can do a paternity test to see who the actual father is.” She offered, “We just need swabs. It'll take a few weeks.” The men glanced at each other, a silent confirmation, before Gelato nodded, “Yeah, let's do it.”

Weeks had passed before you were all finally called in to get the results. Sat in the doctor's office once more, you all waited for the doctor, who finally entered the room.

Stepping in, she held a folder, “So, the results are in, as you already know. Turns out both of you are the fathers.” She stated, handing over the papers. Sorbert quickly grasped them, shock evident on his face, “That–It should be impossible!” He couldn't comprehend, it didn't make sense, “Explain.” He said sharply.

“Oh! Well, there is this phenomenon, heteropaternal superfecundation. It's extremely rare, but it's when the woman's body releases two or more eggs during the menstrual cycle. It leaves room for both eggs to be fertilized by different fathers.” The doctor explained proudly, “Technically, your children are half-siblings if you think about it.”

“Woah…” Gelato muttered, taking it all in quietly. Sorbert was still processing it, it made sense now, it was just taking a moment for him to wrap his head around it, and then you. You were shocked, sure, but you weren't put off by it. If anything, you were thrilled! You had children with both of your husbands at the exact same time, something extremely rare, but it happened to you.

You placed both of your hands on their arms, “Isn't it exciting?” You grinned at them. Gelato chuckled, “Yeah, that is pretty exciting. Never expected this to happen to us, but I'm not complaining.” Sorbert finally nodded, his face softening, “Yeah.” He whispered, “Seems like whatever god or entity is out there chose us to experience this. It's certainly odd, but exciting nontheless.”

Although the phenomenon had taken you all by surprise, it didn't change a thing. You were all gonna be a happy family, learning to raise twins along the way. That's all that truly matters.
