Reptar City, Feb 22nd, 2014. Past
Evie was nervously bouncing her leg as she sat on the toilet and waited. This had to be the longest five minutes of her life. She had jumped up from her seat in the middle of class to throw up in the bathroom, and that's when she came to terms that she might be pregnant. She had been feeling nauseous lately and she missed her period, but she just thought it was coming late because it happened a few times before.
The sound of the alarm from her phone startled her out of her thoughts. She didn't even want to look at the test because depending on the results her life was going to change forever. It wasn't only her life that she was worried about, her boyfriend's life would change as well.
With shaky hands, she picked up the test and read the results. Her eyes widen as she looked hard at it, she was pregnant, and her life was over. She could feel tears swelling in her eyes, this was too much to take in right now, they did everything right, they did everything by the rules. Why was this happening to her?
She coughed out a sob and gasped trying to catch her breath. A knock on the bathroom stall startled her and she dropped the test on the ground. She wiped her tears and picked up the test throwing it into her bag.
She opened the stall to find Lillian standing there. She had followed her out of the room when she ran out. She was worried about her and wanted to know what was going on. Evie had told Lillian that she thought she might be pregnant a few days ago. She was the only person she could tell, they are best friends and she knew that Lillian would never tell anyone about this. Instead of saying anything she just passed the test from her hands to her and walked over to the sink.
"You're-" Lillian started.
"Pregnant," Evie finished. She turned on the sink and began splashing water on her face. She lifted her head and started over towards Lillian with dark blue eyes, "I'm pregnant, I can't do this," she whispered tears rolling down her cheeks.
Lillian tosses the test in the trash and walked over to Evie, she was hoping for her friend's sake that she wasn't pregnant. She couldn't but hurt for Evie, she was only fifteen, and she still had her own life ahead of her. She pulled her into a tight hug and allowed her to cry on her shoulder. This was the best thing she could do for her at the moment. Nothing she could say would make her feel better and she knew that.
"It's okay, I'm here for you," Lillian said, holding her tightly and rubbing her back. She pulled away from the hug and hold Evie's shoulders. "You have to tell Dil about this but do it when you're ready, come on I'll drive you home," she said, helping her out of the bathroom, she knew she couldn't stay at school.
When Lillian dropped her off at home she gave her a small pep talk telling her that if she needed anything she was a call away. She thanked her for the ride and slowly walked up to the porch, her eyes drifting over towards the for sale sign in the front yard. Her father was planning on selling the house, this house held too many bad memories of the past, it had been a year since her mother left them and took her brothers with her. Her father had finally let go of the past and wanted nothing to do with the house.
She took out her house key and unlocked the door walking into the house. The house was quieter without her mother there, with all the yelling she use to do. She removed her shoes and put her bag on the coat rack, "Dad are you home?" she asked.
"I'm in the kitchen," her dad replied. "What you doing home early?".
She walked into the kitchen, her favorite place in the entire house, every day after school she ran into the kitchen to make herself a snack or something to drink. It was her favorite because she refused to eat any food from school, it made her sick all the time and she would spend most of her time in the nurse's office. After a while, she would bring her own lunch to school, but she mostly would forget.
She stepped into the kitchen greeting her father with a kiss on the cheek and a smile. She was surprised he was home, he's normally stuck at the office until four or five in the morning. "I was feeling sick, Lillian dropped me off, and don't worry she is going back to school".
He put his hand on her forehead, "you are feeling a bit warm, do you want some tea?".
She nodded her head and took a seat at the table. She wanted to tell him the real reason she left early but she just couldn't. How could she tell her father that she was pregnant? They already had so much on their plate, she couldn't make it worse for him.
"Did you finish packing yet? We leave tomorrow," her father said, putting her cup in front of her. "I know you don't love the idea of moving to Spain but this is an amazing opportunity for us, I'll be making more money and we won't have to struggle without your mother".
Evie still couldn't believe they were leaving the country tomorrow. She couldn't believe she was leaving Reptar City, it was the only place she knew. She has spent her whole life here, this move was a big change for her. After finding out the news she was pregnant she found herself hoping tomorrow would come faster. She didn't want to tell Dil about the baby, she didn't want to ruin his life like she was doing hers, this was a chance to give Dil the life he deserved and that's how she truly feels about this.
"Daddy," she spoke suddenly, her hands subconsciously moving to her stomach. "I have something important to tell you".
He smiles softly, glancing over at her. His smile dropped slightly as he watched her nervously bounce her leg and tap her finger on the table. It was a sign that she was nervous about what she was going to tell him. "What is it princess?" he asked, putting his hand on her shoulder.
She tightens her hold on the cup, avoiding eye contact with her father. She didn't know how he would take the news. He obviously wasn't going to be jumping for joy, but she just hoped her wouldn't yell at her. "I made a big mistake, I don't want you to be upset with me," she could feel the tears falling, and she wiped her cheek. "I'm so sorry dad, I'm pregnant".
Her father's face completely dropped as he stares at her in shock, he was trying to process her words. He never thought he would hear them words come out of her mouth, maybe when she was older and married but not now. "I'm not upset with you, just really disappointed," he sighs rubbing his hands down his face. "Do you plan on telling Dil about this?".
Evie quickly shook her head, she wasn't planning on ever telling him about this. It wasn't like they were going to see each other again after today. She knows the right thing to do would be to tell him right away but she can't bring herself to do it. She keeps telling herself that it's because she didn't want to ruin his life, but it was because she was scared of her reaction.
She spent the rest of the afternoon talking with her father about random things until she fell asleep. Tomorrow she was leaving and she was leaving without saying goodbye, it would only be harder if she talked to him. She turned her phone off and left the next morning.
Reptar City. September 20th, 2018. Present.
The sun was shining over the beautiful one-story family home that Evie had decided to buy. The house was rather small but it had plenty of space for a small family of three. The inside was better than the outside, having gorgeous wooden floors, the only carpet was in the twin's room. The house was a three-bedroom, though she planned on turning one of them into a playroom for the children. The rest of the house was complete with two bathrooms, one kitchen, and one living room.
A dark blue car pulled into the driveway, parking in the garage. The garage automatically closed behind the car, and the mother of the two children got out of the car. She looks to be around the age of nineteen, a fairly young lady with shoulder-length caramel hair and dark blue eyes.
Evie has decided to move back to her hometown to finish off college, it was a hard decision to make when she knew she can run into old friends. Reptar city was a really small place and everyone knew everyone. However, she missed it here and was going to love it more when her boyfriend Spencer from Spain comes down to visit.
Evie takes a deep breath before going to the backseat and opening the door. "Derek and Megan, welcome to your new home," she unbelts them from their booster seats. She helped the twins out of the car with a big grin.
Derek was the first to get out of the car, he's a cute little boy with chubby cheeks. His appearance definitely came from his mother, his caramel hair to his dark blue eyes that were big and shinned with innocent.
Megan had gotten out after her brother, with a gentle smile adorning her lips. Unlike her brother, she had gotten most of her looks from her father, the ginger hair to the high cheekbones and the curliness of her hair. The only thing she got from her mother was her dark blue eyes.
"Mommy, I want the room to be painted pink," Megan said giggling and clapping her hands. Pink is Megan's favorite color in the entire world, she honestly wanted everything in their shared room to be pink.
"No, blue," Derek pouts while staring at his twin. He possibly didn't know how they could be twins when they didn't even like the same things or the same color.
"Pink," Meg shouts stomping her feet as she made her way toward her brother, she was giving up without a fight.
Derek crosses his arms over his small chest, glaring over towards his sister with a pout still on his lips, "blue!"
Evie couldn't hold in her laughter as her kids fought back and forth. She couldn't help be swoon over how adorable her twins were when they fought over simple things. She was even more relieved over the fact that she didn't have to take care of the twins alone, her father was supporting her all the way from Spain. He was going to send her small checks every week. She slowly shakes her head walking over towards her twins bending down near their height and pulling them into a tight hug.
"Hm, how about we paint the room blue, pink, and white strips huh?" Evie pulls away from the hug, kissing both their cheeks. She couldn't help but laugh when the twins started to giggle and wipe her kiss away. "I'll take that as a yes."
"We can pizza mommy," Derek starts rubbing his stomach as it growled with hunger. He giggles softly when his sister's stomach copied his, they've been in the car for a while and were hungry.
Evie smiles softly before standing up and walking over to her phone that she placed on the counter once entering. "Alright, I'll order some pizza, the both of you go wash your hands," she said dialing the number and putting the phone to her ear.
"Yes ma'am," the twins walk into the bathroom with a stool. Derek pushes the stool next to the sink climbing onto it. He turns on the water and proceeds to wash his hands with soap like he was taught. Meg waited until her brother finished washing his hands to wash her own. The twins had to wait thirty minutes until the food arrived, so they decided the best thing to do while waiting was to play a game.
"We can play hide and seek," Meg suggested with excitement, she frown slightly when her brother simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Fine we can play, but since it was your idea I get to hide first," Derek grins. "Count to ten."
"That isn't fair," Meg pouts cutely with a glare. She huffs softly and faces that wall, "okay."
Derek laughs softly running away to find the perfect place to hide from his sister, while Meg tried counting to ten. It took her a while to count because she wasn't as good at counting as her brother, she was kind of a slow learner, but that just meant she learns at her own pace. He found the perfect place to hide, behind the couch in the playroom.
"1,2,3,5,6,8,9,10, here I come," Meg frowned at the fact she was struggling to remember some numbers. She shakes her head and started to look for her brother around the house. She walks into her mother's room, her mother was sitting on the bed talking to her aunt Stephanie on the phone. She walks over towards the bed looking underneath but pouted when she didn't see him. "He isn't underneath here."
Meg walks out of her mother's room and to the kitchen looking around there. She looks underneath the cabinets, only to get scared by their kitten Jen who leaped out at her. "Awe Jen, you scared me," she giggles shutting the cabinets. She walks out of the kitchen and into the playroom, she skips over towards the doll house looking behind it but she still didn't find him. She crosses her arms looking around the playroom, her eyes landing on shoelaces poking out from behind the couch. She slowly creeps over to the couch, and grabs his shoelace poking her head around the couch, "I found you, Derek."
"Derek and Meg, the pizza is here," Evie called out to the twins, she paid for the pizza and walks towards the kitchen with a grin when her children came running into the kitchen. She wasn't surprised though, pizza was their favorite thing to eat.
After dinner Evie had put her kids to sleep, laying them in her bed since their beds haven't arrived yet. She was actually surprised that her bed had come in before her children's, she was hoping for the twin's beds to come in first. She pushed her bed against the wall because her children loved to roll around and sleep wild. She smiles softly laying down on the bed beside Derek.
Evie haven't thought about Dil until she moved back over here, he probably had a new girlfriend. Even though it has been four years she still wasn't over him, she dated other men before but they were nothing like the person she loved, she was dating Spencer but even he couldn't compare to Dil, her first love. All her old friends will probably be happy and pissed to see her. She left without notice and didn't even message them on Facebook or Twitter. The only person who knew about her whereabouts was Lillian, and she was the only one who knew what really happened and probably told Dil which she didn't mind. As long as she doesn't tell him about her giving birth to his children Megan and Derek.
