Now being driven crazy to an extreme Scotty couldn't take it anymore to the point that he was sleeping on the couch away from her; but during the night images of his wife holding three or four babies appeared as they all cried. He could see Abigail raced around breaking stuff to the point neither of them could control her; while she roamed around while Lilly was up looking like a zombie surrounded by babies.
Scotty gasped loudly realizing it was just as dream but he grew so scared even creeping into the bedroom watching his wife asleep; knowing inside were two little lives that they had created together. Moving closer he felt the movements as their babies stirred softly inside while hearing each breath their mother breathed in; as the each beat of her heart soothed them. Now planting a kiss on Lilly's cheek he knew their babies meant a lot of him in so many ways before heading back downstairs to go back to sleep.
By 9am Lilly took Abigail down to a mommy and me class while Scotty began fixing up the basement. He needed time away from them but continued to work harder on this project; knowing his wife wanted the nursery painted soon. Meanwhile Lilly was teaching Abigail how to swim since the class was at a pool in which the toddler began to kick wildly splashing the water around; but she clearly enjoyed the water.
For the most part the morning went fine even after the two got out of the water. Abigail liked to run as Lilly took her hand" No running by the pool" while trying to dry her off" Stay still Mommy needs to dry you off ". Now wearing a pair of shorts and some sandals before stopping off at a park; but her daughter
wanted to be chased; which was a good thing that Vera had shown up. She watched how he played with her before flying her around hearing her giggling, before Abigail began crying. Lilly got up walking towards them" Think she misses Scotty".
"Yeah he's been weirder every since I told him I'm carrying twins" she sighed" Getting all nervous but was fine when I was pregnant with her" taking the toddler into her arms. Vera then nodded" Want me to talk to him Lil, isn't fair what he's doing".
Give her usual smile Lilly shook her head" I'll be fine anyways thanks for catching her" before placing Abigail down inside the stroller as she sat there wearing very cool shades. Somehow just walking around town was getting her to think about Scotty knowing there was rather more than just being so pathetically panicky.
With a doctor's appointment in just an hour Lilly needed to keep herself calm about the whole thing; but after grabbing a bite to eat for the both of them the two sat outside a café. Just enjoying being outside in the warm weather made her feel ten times better than sitting at home with a nervous husband; who was not even sharing the same bed anymore.
Somehow Lilly made a trip to Geno's and got a cheesestake for her husband knowing she shouldn't have done that but when meeting up with him; Abigail made a mad dash for her father. Now holding onto her Scotty glanced over at his wife who handed him his lunch" Didn't have to do that Lil".
"Well since we don't eat together as a family especially that we both never really see you anymore" she replied sarcastically. He could see the frustration in her face while sitting down to devour the cheesesteak while Abigail sat on his lap; but Lilly felt worn from this especially carrying twins.
Now standing there she felt one of the m kicking inside before glancing over at her watch" Got ten minutes before we have to be there". Scotty looked up at her" Enough with the ice queen act getting sick and tired of it" quickly finishing his sandwich before putting Abigail into the stroller" Can't even sleep in my own bed".
" Is this because I'm pregnant or you were just happy with her" Lilly replied" You know what if you don't want to really be here then go home, not the first time you've been like this".
Scotty turned around" I ain't going home these are my kids".
"When that convenient" continuing to push the stroller down the sidewalk before he had stopped her but by this point Lilly was beyond pissed at him" Don't pretend to act like a loving father to her if you really don't love them" motioning to her swelling abdomen" Want a divorce fine I'm not stopping you from doing that".
Upon sitting in the waiting room ten minutes later before hearing her name being called out for the sonogram. Now lying down Lilly let out a breath while the doctor poured some gel onto her stomach before hearing two hastening heartbeats; she smiled at the little lives growing inside. By now Abigail was sitting on a chair watching this" Babies" pointing out proudly.
Lilly smiled knowing her daughter was so curious about her unborn siblings but wished Scotty was here to see this; remembering how he was when pregnant with Abigail. In fact she needed to share this joy with him again but knew their marriage was indeed falling apart pretty fast; facing motherhood alone. Her heart was broken inside not wanting to raise their three kids without him especially since Abigail was so close with Scotty.
When the sonogram was over Lilly sighed before wiping off the gel seeing her daughter's eyes looking right into hers" I'm sorry Abby" bursting into tears while holding her close. She was upset so much at Scotty plus the hormones added to the emotions "Mommy loves you so much" before putting down her shirt then proceeding to carry Abigail out of the room.
After making the next appointment Lilly went home to an empty house feeling lonely again; as she spotted his wedding rings on the table. Tears began falling faster knowing he wanted out of marriage so much that now going upstairs she lay down on the bed crying very hard; feeling the heartbreak of losing the man she loved so much. Then Abigail murmured" Daddy" wanting him badly as she held onto one of his white t-shirts that was still sitting on the bed.
