Based on the sequence, it seems like the previous three terms are being added to form the next term.

For example, the 4th term 8 is the result of adding the first three terms (2 + 2 + 4 = 8).

In addition, the 5th term 14 is the result of adding the previous three terms which are 2 + 4 + 8 = 14.

So, following this pattern, the 6th term is the sum of 4, 8, and 14 which is 26.

Lastly, the 7th term would be the sum of 8, 14, and 26 which is 48.

Hence, the missing numbers are 26 and 48 in the same order.
