The ending part of this ch. is kind of fast paced, which I hate. But the dream parted needed to be, because I don't know about you but my dreams are always very fast paced, no detail kind of things. I don't own anything Harvest Moon, I promise.
Black-Dove15- Hah, I don't know about suicide. Rick isn't THAT bad.. He just has issues. A lot of them. But wouldn't Rick being that daddy be interesting?
Raspberry Cake- I don't know, I think all of their reactions will be funny. And they'll all find out eventually, after all, Claire can't walk around with TWINS in her stomach without everyone noticing! They'll probably even know before then.. it's a small town, and things get around you know. ;)
Math-Geek- Lol, yes she was "busy" xD. The Kappa, huh? Wow, I hadn't even thought about that! Hmm.. ;3
Cal- :O Carter scares me. He's just plain scary. But his reaction would be funny..
Flaming Flying V- I don't really know who I'll pick yet. I like Kai, but Rick would be hilarious, poor Gray would probably drop dead, and, like everyone else has said, Cliff's reaction would be funny. I don't know, I guess I'll sleep on it. :D
Without further ado, the new chapter!
Why did this happen? How did this happen? When did this happen? With whom did it happen!?
I slumped back on a bench and groaned. I had already broke down inside the doctor's office - apparently Doctor Trent isn't too great with emotions. He took off after I had started screaming, leaving poor Elli just standing there trying to calm me down. I couldn't hardly afford my dog and I, much less two babies! And it wouldn't be long before it got around that I was pregnant. What would I do then? I'd have 4 guys trying to flag me down! I stood up carefully, and walked down the rest of the road. As I turned the corner, I got chills all up and down me as I stared off at the beach. Was there any way I could figure out who the dad was?
Let's see, they said I had been pregnant for about five weeks, and if I really thought about it..
I couldn't even remember half the times. Oh, Harvest Goddess, what have I gotten myself into?
Just as I was going into despair mode, a sexy purple-bandannad man surprised me from behind.
"Hey Claire, what's up? You look a little down." He said as I whipped my head around, giving him and mouth full of blonde hair.
"Sorry!" I said as I jerked my hair out of his mouth.
"It's okay." He said, giving me that sexy wink that was oh-so-very seducing. "So.. What are you doing?"
"I-I'm - I wa-was just h-h-heading down to the super m-market!" I said, shaking so hard you would've thought there was a earthquake.
"Are you okay?" He said, his smile dissapearing. "You look a little red.."
"Fine! I'm fine!" I said quickly. "I've g-got to g-get th-those turnips now!" I said, taking several steps back towards the supermarket. "Bye!" I said as I sped off towards the store.
"Turnips?!" Kai yelled after me. "But it's summer, Claire!"
*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x
"Whoa, whoa, slow down Claire. I don't understand a thing you're saying." Karen said, staring at me with one eyebrow raised. I wiped away my tears.
"I-I don't know where to start." I said sadly. "B-but you have a comfy bed." I said, trying to lighten the mood. Karen laughed.
"It was better you in here then to hear my dad freak out by your crying." Karen explained. "Now, tell me what's wrong with you! You're never this upset!"
I frowned. "Okay.. But.." I took a deep breath. I felt really bad this morning. I thought it might've just been a hangover, but it couldn't have been because I only had one glass of wine that I didn't even drink all of." I stared down at her purple bed sheets, unable to look her in the eye. "So, I went to the clinic thinking I had the stomach flu or something. But after the doctor looked at me.." I choked up on the last sentence, tears running down my face again.
"After he looked at you?"
"A-after he looked at me, he told me that I might be.. p-pregnant!" I said, burrying my head in her pillow.
"Were you?!" Karen gasped. I just sobbed into the pillow.
"Oh my goddess.." Karen said, lightly stroking my hair. "You don't know who the dad is either, do you?"
I lifted my head up. "No, I really d-don't. I'm not ready to be a mom, Karen!" I said, looking up at her hoping for some sympathy.
"You'll probably change your mind about that.. But we need to figure out who the father is! Okay, who was the last person you slept with?"
"I d-don't remember.." I sniffed. "I was always so drunk every single time, I hardly remember doing it with them at all, much less the dates!" I sobbed. "B-but what d-did you mean by 'You'll probably change your mind about that'? There's no way I'm ever going to change my mind about being a mom!"
"Er, I just read in a magazine a while back that most pregnant moms kinda develop a relationship with the baby while they're still pregnant." Karen said sheepishly.
"W-what? That's stupid. How can you have a r-relationship with s-something you c-can't see?"
"I don't know." Karen said, looking uncomfortable. "But I just have this feeling that you're going to end up wanting this baby."
"Whatever." I said, rolling onto my side. I shut my eyes, and we sat in silence until I eventually fell asleep.
*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x
I took a deep breath as I was finished pushing.
"Two guys!" I hear Kai say proudly, holding up two babies with purple bandanas wrapped around their heads.
"They're girls, idiot!" Another voice, gruffer, called out. The image of Kai turned into Gray, and the bandanas were trasformed into tiny hats.
"I think it's one boy and one girl!" Now my babies were wearing goggles with a white headband.
"Stop it!" I screamed as I tried to reach for my babies. Cliff handed 3 of them to me. "They're all so cute.. What should we name them?"
"They're all Kai Jr.'s!" Kai said, handing me the two kids with bandanas.
"Why would you name a kid that?!" 2 more kids handed to me.
"It's much better than what you could think of!"
"Stop it!" I tried to scream, but no sound came.
"WHY DON'T YOU TWO SHUT UP?!"
"WHY DON'T YOU, CHICKEN BREATH?"
The Kai Jr.'s in my arms started to scream, which woke up all the other kids crowding my bed.
"STOOOOPPPP!" I cried, and dropped down a black hole with the baby cries echoing all around me.
---
"Oh my goddess!" I shot up in the purple bed, my face drenched with sweat. Looking wildly around me, I realized it was just a dream. No Kai, no Rick, No babies..
Just Karen..
I got up out of the purple bed and inched over to the computer chair where Karen had fallen asleep.
"Karen?" I said timidly.
"ZzznngZZz"
She snores..
"Thanks for everything." I whispered in her ear. I tiptoed back across the room, and opened up the window carefully. A cold breeze blew across me and picked up my blonde hair. With one backward glance, I slipped out the window into the night.
Thanks for reading! Review and I'll respond back in the next chapter!
