Chapter 74 - Twins

I had only been here for a week and my mom had been chewing my ears off.

She kept asking about the father and I keep shutting her down for quite frankly that was a painful topic and all I wanted to do was sleep.

I was now 15 weeks pregnant and she wanted to get me out of the house for church but I told her that I had a scheduled ultrasound that I couldn't miss which wasn't a lie.

I had went ahead and asked my sister to make the appointment for today because I was scheduled for one last week in Korea but that was also the day of my flight so I called Miss Yeji informing her but something felt odd in the tone of her voice but I just shook it off.

I had until I was 20 weeks to do this final ultrasound but I just wanted another excuse as to why I couldn't make it to church for I really didn't want anybody asking me about my pregnancy nor my business.

I had been feeling extra heavy these past few days but that could also be the fact that I was being fed every time I opened my mouth because said I was too skinny worse I was pregnant.

I didn't complain though for she was cooking and I didn't have to wash any dishes.

I had been enjoying my little time here, watching movies and relaxing while occasionally having visitors who would haven't  seen me in a while.

I would entertain them some days then others I will just lazy about the house eating everything in sight.

I was doing alright for my self I guess.

I wasn't all too depressed and I was sleeping so that's good enough for me.

I have been keeping my promise and video calling Lia and Minjae as much as I could for the past week and they would be just as happy to see me.

My sister and I have also been bonding with her out of school and has nothing better to do than to just talk to me and nap with me.

It was quite nice.

She pulled up to the doctor's office and I stepped out grabbing my bag as we entered.

We didn't have to wait that long since we made an appointment and it was a private doctor.

Me and my family were well acquainted with the doctor so it wasn't awkward to talk to him at all.

Me and my sister had a little crush on him when we were younger so our mom would often tease us about it and he knew but it wasn't awkward at all.

"Tally and Abbi hey!" he exclaimed hugging us as he saw us enter into his office and we both hugged him back just as happy to see him.

"Hey Mister Brown. Long time no see." I said as he let us go smiling at the both of us.

"I'm saying. When the nurse said Atalia Carter had an appointment for an Ultrasound I thought it must have been somebody for my Tally swore to never have babies so what?"

I chuckled at him for he was quite a character and he gestured for the both of us to take a seat.

"So" he started taking out clipboard, "how far along are we?"

"15 weeks" I said rubbing my stomach which seemed to have grew over the past week.

"That's quite small for 15 weeks but it is fine once you and the baby are healthy so shall we?" he asked gesturing to the bed and I shook my head yes heading over and pulled up my shirt to expose my stomach.

"She was quite smaller when she came last week. I couldn't believe that she was pregnant. I could wrap my arms around her. Twice!" exclaimed my sister being extra. She really was her mother's daughter.

"Ha ha" I piped up adding to the conversation, " I haven't been feeling well and you and your mother are exaggerating. I was not skin and bones. I feel fine."

"Well lets see if the baby is fine." he said placing the liquid on my belly before turning on the machine and moving it around.

"You already heard the baby's heartbeat right?" he asked with his eyes fixated on the monitor.

"Yeah I did. I have the recording in a Teddy bear." I said smiling as I looked on the monitor.

He smiled too before I saw his expression changed to a look of confusion, "how many babies did your last doctor say?"

"Uh one?" I asked confused looking at my sister but she just raised her shoulder implying that she was just as confused, " is everything okay?"

"Do you by any chance happen to have a copy of the first ultrasound pic on you?" he asked sounding serious and I started to get nervous.

"Y-Y-es?" I asked as I stretched my hand to my sister asking her to look in my bag for the picture and she did come through.

I handed him the pic and he looked closely at the monitor before the picture then back to the monitor before his eyebrows raised and his eyes lit up and he turned to look at me looking all excited and I ironically felt more worried.

"Miss Carter do you have a history of twins in your family?" he asked and I gulped looking at my sister already knowing and hating where this is going.

I shook my head yes but decided to verbally answer, "yes."

"Well you just added to the list of twins. Congratulations. You're having a girl and a boy. They boy had been hiding behind the girl but since they grew he has become more visible. They seems to be close already. Womb mates."

Both me and my sister gasped but they sounded different and I am pretty sure that it was me who let out the terrified once because I was that, terrified.

I held my chest as my heart rate sped up for how was I going to raise two kids, at the same time, alone?

I felt lighted and my sister ran to my side to hug me and I laid my head on chest closing my eyes ad accepting the warmth.

"Tally I know that this might come as a shock but I am here for you and so is mom and dad and everybody else. It will be okay. Trust me." she said as she held my close and comforted me.

It's like everything I said was going to happen did in fact happen.

I said I wouldn't mind having a baby the same day I found out that I would, I said that I wouldn't fall for Shiwoo and I did and I said that I wouldn't mind having twins because it would be fun for my child to grow up with somebody and now I'm having twins.

If there is one thing that I have learned from this experience is to keep my big mouth shut.

"Tally you know that this means that you will have to eat more right? Your belly is very small for twins especially at this stage. I know your mom and sister will take good care of you and if you have any questions about the babies, I am here. Now it was really nice to see you again but I sadly have another patient but keep in touch okay? Bye bye now." he said as he wiped my belly clean before printing out the picture and handed it to me while my sister held my hand and led me out the doors.

I was still in shock but happy at the same time for I had always wanted twins.

I always said that it was kind of like a buy one get one free bargain and I could just have them and be over with it which is definitely going to happen since I have officially started to hate men and wanted nothing to do with one anymore.

On our way home my sister called my mom and tell her the good news and they were both squealing and gushing while I sat there staring at my ring and toying with it.

I was still thinking about him and what he would have said and done if I had told him earlier but I just pushed that aside when my sister stopped the car and bought us ice-cream.

I haven't really told her everything that went down before I returned and I knew that she was dying to know but I just didn't really feel like talking about it, but I promised her that I would soon.

Twins huh?

My mind kept repeating trying to wrap my head around it.

I was going to have my Adriel and Adrian soon.

I was happy, I really was but I guess I didn't have enough energy to show it for my face was cold but I was warm on the inside.

Mommy cant wait to meet you babies.

Mommy will work hard and do her best and eat lost of delicious food so that you can grow and be healthy babies.

Mommy Loves you.
