I pulled hard on the waistband of my jeans. I was creeping up on three months, and I was getting huge. At my last appointment, my doctor had confirmed that I was having twins. Yesterday, me and Justin decided we would pick out baby names later today. But right now, I was struggling with my jeans and I was gonna be late for school. After about five more minutes of tugging and yanking in vain, I gave up. I allowed my pants to pool around my ankles, before stepping out of them. I pulled up my pajama pants and sighed at the comfort of the elastic. I went downstairs to tell my mom we needed to go shopping AGAIN. We had already gone shopping twice this month, and I'm still growing. I noticed Justin's sweatshirt on the couch. That sweatshirt was the most comfortable thing ever. I slipped it on and zipped it up. His scent washed over me as I sat down on the orange couch. Surrounded by a nice smell and warmth, I began to fall asleep. I was awoken quite rudely by a pain in my stomach. I put my hand over my swollen belly and felt the little baby foot kicking me gently. I guess it wasn't as painful as it was surprising. This was the first time I had felt a kick, and I was in awe of the feeling that there was life inside me. It hadn't really sunk in until now. My mom came downstairs to see me on the couch with my hand on my stomach, tears rolling down my face. She became worried and immediately started fussing over me.
"Mom, I'm fine. I just-- I just realized that I'm pregnant." Mom looked at me weirdly.
"Uh, honey, you've been pregnant for three months now." I nodded my head.
"I know, but the baby just kicked, and I guess it just kind of sunk in." Mom nodded in understanding. I wiped my eyes and sat up.
"Oh, mom, we need to go shopping again." Mom sighed, then brightened.
"I just remembered! I have some of my old maternity clothes in the basement! I'll be right back." She rushed out of the room, and was back moments later holding a bag of clothes. She dumped them out and we spent the afternoon going through and picking out clothes I could wear in public. It was more exhausting than it sounds, and when we finished, I fell asleep on the couch. I didn't have enough energy left to haul my fat ass upstairs. So I just lay there, and drifted.
I awoke to a floating feeling. I shifted slightly and looked up to see Justin carrying me upstairs.
"Mm, Justin, what time is it?" He looked down at me, slightly shocked that I was awake.
"About ten o'clock, why?" If I hadn't been sitting in his arms I would've sat up straighter.
"You mean I missed dinner? Why didn't anybody wake me up!?" He chuckled slightly.
"We tried, but you smacked us when we came near you. You must've been pretty tired." I pouted.
"Yeah, well now I'm hungry. I require sustinence." I whined, using Spock's line from Star Trek, Justin's favorite show/movie. He smiled as he lay me down on our bed.
"Yes, dear. I'll be right back." He said sarcastically. He left the room, and Leah started to wail. I heaved my heavy body off the bed, picked her up, carried her back over to the bed, and lay down. She calmed down almost immediately, and, lulled by her soft breathing, I too fell asleep again, just in time to hear Justin's footsteps on the stairs.
