Well here's a shortish chapter of her time during pregnancy. It was kinda weird researching this, I had to do it in incognito windows incase my parents decided for whatever reason to check the history. I don't have my own laptop but I don't really want one right now. Anyway, I tried to make the process as real as possible. Hope you guys enjoy and thank you all for those who submitted names, hope you guys like my choice. Review!
In the first few weeks of her new life, Rapunzel had done more than her nine years in the tower. Not only was she working more then ever, but living on her own with third rate furniture. Her jobs were fine, though it did get uncomfortable when the other waitresses brought up the baby.
"So, have you thought of any names yet?" asked Sophie, a blond and very perky woman.
"I'm only two months in, it's too early!" protested Rapunzel
"How about Molly for a girl?" suggested Diana, another waitress
"How about you guys get these orders out?!" barked Calvin, the cook
Laughing, the waitresses grabbed the orders and went back to work. Though as Rapunzel served a couple, Sophie tapped her shoulder, whispering,
"Are you going to keep it?"
"Yeah, I think so," answered Rapunzel, looking down at the bump.
"Good afternoon Miss Benstin. Are you ready to start?" asked the nurse
"Ready as I'll ever be," she said
So the nurse began the examination.
"So how have you been?" asked the nurse, as she checked Rapunzel's blood pressure.
"Same old, same old," answered Rapunzel " Working until I get lucky and win the lottery, or die. Which ever comes first."
"Well at least you'll be getting a little bundle soon," said the nurse " Ready to see him or her?"
"Yeah,"
So after a few minutes of prep and set up, they began.
"So you're about 4 months right?"
"Yeah, though I feel like I should be smaller,"
"Every woman experiences pregnancy differently,"
"Yeah, but it feels like there's..."
"Twins!" finshed the nurse
"Yes, but..."
"No ma'am, you're having twins, look," said the nurse, pointing at the screen.
"What!" exclaimed Rapunzel, looking at the screen.
"See, the two heartbeats?"
Sure enough, she could see two little beats and two small bodies. Suddenly every fear, and doubt came flooding back. Twins, she was having twins! One was going to be hard but two on her own, it seemed impossible.
Twins
The word kept echoing in her head. Heck, the whole situation she was in, seemed like a joke. Living in a tower, having a witch for a mother, falling in love, and ending up in the middle of nowhere pregnant with twins. She really was Rapunzel.
She felt like laughing, crying and screaming all at once.
"Is this some kind of joke?" she asked to no one in particular "All I wanted was to explore the world. And yet I end up living a fairytale. So do I get a happy ending, or am I just going be stuck here? Huh?!"
Collapsing on her couch, she broke. She just cried and cried. She had just gotten over her fear of having one kid, now she was having two. Then a thought crossed her mind.
"Should she give them up now?"
No. That was her answer. She had decided to keep one, then she would keep two. Still, the fear of not being able to take care of them was there.
Looking at the large bump, she just sighed and rubbed it, feeling the movement of the kids.
"oof," she exclaimed, dropping down on a bus seat. Nine months pregnant with twins, working two jobs, she was ready to pop.
"Rough day?" asked an old lady, next to her.
"Yeah, I just can't wait till these guys are out," said Rapunzel "Though, with how much these guys have been kicking me and each other it might be better that they don't come out."
"How long until you're due?"
"Two weeks late,"
"Who knows, maybe that day will be today,"
"Sure," laughed Rapunzel, leaning back on the seat, trying to get her hippo sized feet to stop throbbing.
Just as she was beginning to get comfortable, it suddenly felt as though she peed her pants.
Uh oh
Making her way up the bus, she tried to stop the panic setting in.
"Sir, do you know how I might get to the hospital from here?" she asked
"Is someone hurt?" asked the bus driver, glancing back at her.
"No, I'm going into labor," she responded.
So after, getting serval people to back off, a cab was called, and she was rushed off to the hospital.
"Ma'am I need you to push,"
"What do you think I'm doing!" screamed Rapunzel as she leaned back on the bed.
"Ma'am, please stay calm.."
"Unless you want to trade places with me, then I suggest you not tell me to CALM DOWN!"
"Oh I can see the head!" exclaimed one nurse
After another few minutes the first cry was heard.
"It's a boy,"
"David," she breathed
Ten minutes later and the other baby was introduced into the world.
"A girl,"
"Hazel,"
David and Hazel, her two children. Things were just going to get more complicated.
