Chapter 5
I went to the hospital on my day off to see Tara.
"So what's been happening?" she asked me.
I told her everything from what I'd eaten and how I'd been sick ever since.
"Have you had your period?" she asked.
"I haven't had one for the last 3 months but that doesn't mean anything, I always miss periods and you know I can't have any children Tara" I replied.
"Well babe miracles do happen" she said.
"I think I would know if I was pregnant" I laughed, "I think it maybe stress with the store and everything whats been going on"
"Well I will give you a pregnancy test before we start giving you blood tests Liss" She said.
"It's pointless" I said rolling my eyes.
She gave me a pot to wee in and I went off to the toilet and gave her my sample.
She put the stick in the sample and then waited for a few minutes. She asked me a few more questions and then went back to the test.
"Well you think you would know but you didn't. Congratulations you're having a baby" Tara smiled.
"Shut up" I laughed.
"I'm not lying look" she said showing me the positive test.
"Oh my god how is this even possible?" I asked.
"I don't know but you are, and if you havent had a period for 3 months you're most likely quite far gone" she smiled.
I got my app off my cell phone and told her the exact date I had my period.
"So by my calculations you are just over 13 weeks" Tara said.
"are you joking?" I said shocked.
"Honestly I will see if theres a scan room free and I'l tell you exactly how far gone" she smiled.
"This is too much for me" I said rubbing my face with my hands.
"Aren't you happy?" she asked.
"Yeah of course I'm happy but I just didn't think I could get pregnant let alone carry it thisfar along" I said.
She went out for a few minutes and then came back to say that there was one free.
I followed her down the hall and lay on the bed in the room.
She put the gel on my stomach and began the scan. It took what seemed like for ever for her to turn the monitor so I could see it.
"Congratulations Alissa you are expecting 2 very healthy babies" she grinned.
"excuse me?" I asked.
"Yeah you have 2 babies in there" she beamed.
I looked at the monitor and saw 2 babies right there.
"This is un real" I said grinning.
"I can't believe it myself, I'm super happy for you babe" She said giving me a hug.
She did all the measurements and told me that I was 13 weeks and 4 days pregnant.
"Do I get pictures?" I asked.
"course you do babe, I will print them now, I need you to go and see your doctor because obviously this is all off the record. I will get you some vitamins though for you to start taking" she said.
"can you not tell anyone not even Jax because I want to keep it quiet until I have told Juice and with everything that happens with me I would like to leave it a while longer. Do they look healthy though?, is there anything that can go wrong?" I asked.
"of course theres always a chance that something can go wrong at any time, but I can promise you as of now they both look really healthy and strong with strong heart beats" Tara replied.
I began to cry happy tears and held Tara's hand whilst she printed the pictures off.
"what will Juice think?" I asked.
"He will be so happy I can guarentee babe" she said.
"Do you really think so?" I asked.
"I know so" she smiled.
She handed me the pictures and I cried again, "This is amazing, thank you so much Tara"
"Isn't it amazing that when you don't try and worry about it you get pregnant just like that" Tara smiled.
She gave me the vitamins and walked me to the car. She gave me a massive hug and said congratulations again. My mind was all over the place as I drove back to the house.
Juice called me and asked where I was.
"I'm just on the way home babe, where are you?" I asked.
"Just going on my lunch break, do you want to come have it with me?" he asked.
"Yes babe I'll head over to TM" I said.
"Yes I will get us something to eat and we can sit on the benches. What would you like?" he asked.
"I want something really unhealthy something greasy" I said.
"Burger and fries?" he asked.
"yes babe and a dr pepper please"I added.
"Ok I will see you in 10 minutes babe"he said.
"Love you baby" I replied.
I pulled in to TM just as Juice was walking through the gate. I parked the car and said hello to everyone who was outside. I sat on the bench and Juice came over. He gave me a big kiss on the lips.
"You look really sexy today" I smiled at him.
"Oh do I?" he grinned, "Good job I'm your man"
We sat and ate our lunch chatting away in the sun. "So you know I haven't been very well for last few weeks, well I went to get checked out today" I said.
"what why didn't you tell me?" he asked.
"because I have been really worried about it thinking there was something really wrong with me and I didn't want you to worry and make me worry even more" I replied.
"Should I be worried?" he asked.
"well in away yes" I said.
"what do you mean in a way?" he asked.
I got the pictures out of my purse and placed them on the bench infront of him. He looked at them for what seemed like ages and then a huge grin spread across his face.
"You're pregnant?" he asked.
"Yes and I'm 13 weeks 4 days" I said.
"Liss, how are you that far gone?" he asked.
"I missed a few periods but obviously I didn't think I could have a baby" I replied.
"This is amazing we're going to have a baby" he smiled and kissed my hand.
"No babe, we are having 2 babies" I said.
"what?" he asked looking at the pictures again.
"There's 2 babies cooking in there" I smiled, "Baby number 1" I pointed at the 1 pic and pointed at the 2nd pic "and that is baby number 2"
Juice jumped up and came round to my side of the bench. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.
"I am so happy baby, you have literally made me the happiest man alive" he grinned.
"Listen Tara said that they are healthy and strong at the moment but obviously it can change just like that" I said, "so I was thinking that we would leave it a while before we tell anyone"
"I get it" he smiled.
"I need to book a doctors appointment and get it confirmed properly" I said.
"I want to make sure I'm there babe" he replied.
"of course" I said. I gave him a kiss.
"cant believe that this is actually happening" he smiled.
"we will seriously need to start looking at houses now" I said.
"100 percent babe" he said. He wrapped his arms around me from behind.
"I cannot believe it babe, I have never been so happy in my life, you need to chill abit with work and that though now at least until we know for sure that they are healthy and you are" he said.
"I know I will try but you know me" I said.
"And Liss no more smokes or vodka" he said.
"Obviously I'm not completely stupid.
He went back to work with a grin on his face and I went home to call the doctors. I had an appointment the following day at 1.30 so I text Juice to make sure that he could get it off.
I had a look at the houses near by for sale. I saw one that was in our price range and was only 2 blocks from our apartment. I printed the pictures off and left them on the side for Juice to look at when he got home.
I went to the bank with my takings from the store from the week, and I sent copys of everything I needed to my accountant. I went food shopping and decided to cook us a nice dinner.
Juice came home and kissed me loads over and over.
"I love you so much baby" he said.
"I love you too babe" I smiled.
"what's for dinner?" he asked.
"its a random dinner but it will be nice" I said.
"whats this?" he asked, picking up the pictures I had printed off.
"It's a house 2 blocks away in our price range" I said.
He had a look at the pictures, "that looks perfect" he said.
"I know I like the look of it and it's 3 bedrooms" I replied.
"call them tomorrow and organise a viewing" he said.
"I will do babe" I smiled.
We had our dinner which was lovely and watched a film snuggling up to each other on the sofa.
"I like this" he said kissing my head.
"and me babe, I love how this has all turned out for us" I said.
"Me too, who would have thought it, that the night I saw you all beat up and crying that we would be here, engaged and having 2 babies together, looking at a house to move into" he said.
"I know babe, I literally only stopped for something to eat" I laughed.
"I'm so glad that I saw you though, and that you fell for my charms" he laughed.
"You were too scared to try it on with me you fool" I laughed.
"Well why would someone as gorgeous as you wanr me lol" he laughed.
"Oh shut up you know you're sexy" I said rubbing his head.
"What do you hope we're having?" he asked.
"Well obviously one of each would be amazing, then we wouldn't have to be disapointed if I couldn't get pregnant again." I replied.
"Yeah that's what I would like one of each" Juice said
"but if they're identical I want boys" I laughed.
"why boys?" Juice asked.
"I don't know I just always imagined I would have boys" I replied.
"What names do you like?" he asked.
"Oh god I don't even know, I only found out few hours ago that I was pregnant" I laughed.
"I know but haven't you ever had it in your mind?" he asked.
"well there's a few" I smiled.
"I have a few for a girl" Juice grinned.
"Have you really?, Tell me" I laughed.
"No, not yet" he laughed.
"why not?" I grinned.
"Just wait till we know what we are having and then we can decide" he said.
"Ok babe"
Afew weeks later I had been confirmed by the doctor officially and because of my previous whilst pregnant they kept a very close eye on me. I had another scan, and I was beginning to show already. I had ditched my tight clothes for looser ones to try and hide my ever expanding bump.
At 16 weeks Juice and I decided to have a gender reveal scan and we found out that we were having identical boys.
Everything was going well so we decided that it was time that we announced we were having a baby.
Juice and I had put an offer on the house that I had seen and was waiting for them to accept. Everything was going so fast but I was so happy because it was everything that I had ever wanted
with the perfect man.
So that evening Juice asked everyone to be at the club house for 7.30pm because he had an announcement to make.
I wore a hoody over my outfit which were ripped leggings and an off the shoulder harley top which wasn't tight but you could see my bump in it.
I wore some chunky heeled boots with it because I still liked to wear heels but my feet were already swelling up at 16 weeks and 3 days.
We arrived at the club house to find everyone was already there. I gave everyone a hug and a kiss but Gemma was giving me the dead eye, trying to get some kind of idea as to what the announcement could be. I knew that everyone knew that I couldn't have children so they would never guess that it was that.
"So come on, what's this big announcement you got?" Bobby asked.
"Well, we have been keeping this a secret for a while now, but it's time that we told you"Juice said.
"Get on with it for god sake" Tig shouted.
"So basically, Alissa and I are expecting, Not just one but two healthy baby boys" he said.
The whole room cheered and clapped. They all rushed to us and gave us hugs and kisses. I took my hoody off and everyone was amazed that I had kept the bump hidden for so long.
We showed everyone the pictures and they were also happy for us.
Everyone was so drunk and dancing, by 10pm I was starting to feel tired and decided it was time to go home.
"I'll just finish my drink" Juice said.
"No you stay babe, I'll be ok. I'm just going to have a bath and get in my pj's watch some TV" I said.
"Are you sure baby?" he asked.
"course I'm sure babe I got a few things to do for the shop as well so I'll be ok" I smiled.
He gave me a kiss and I said goodbye to everyone.
I pulled off the car lot to TM and drove down the road. I heard a car coming up fast beside me, a big SUV it pulled up beside me and the window came down. I saw just an arm and a gun pointed right in my face. I put my foot on the accelorator and sped off. I had my hand in my purse searching for my phone and looking in the mirror for the SUV. The bag fell and dropped to the floor. All of a sudden I felt the SUV ram me from the back and I jerked forward. I felt the car lose control and the last thing I remember was seeing me heading for a parked car and then everything went next thing I remember was hearing gun shots and feeling the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my stomach and legs. I heard shouting and then screeching of a car pulling away.
