REGRETS

Chap 24! I sadly don't own anything…sniffs! Thanks for the reviews!

FrostySnake: Jess came back home long time before because she had school, of course! And Alice thinks she's old enough to stay home alone…I mean, she's like…almost 18 now!

-------------------------------------------

"What?" Oops! "What do you mean by 'babies'?" I'm definitively the queen of blunders!

"We are having twins, sweetheart." I say quietly, hoping he won't be mad. He's staring blankly at me, like he's in daze. Ah, a change! He looks shocked now, maybe too much. A smile is appearing on his face and he wraps his arms back around my waist, tightly. I think he finally realized.

"Twins?" He asked again. "You're giving me twins?" He exclaims louder. I think he forgot my mom's sleeping in the next room.

"Yeah…two babies only for us." I say sarcastically. I can't help it; he acts like a little kid.

"God…I'm so happy!"

"Glad to hear it. I'm sorry, I let it slip through."

"Don't be! That's the best news you could have given me today. I was beginning worried because you were taking so much weight." He says relieved.

"You didn't tell me anything…"

"I didn't want to stress you too. So, are they boys or girls?" He asks curiously. I knew that inside, he wanted to know everything …

"I don't know yet. But the doctor said next time should be the good one."

"Fantastic! So, we'll need more furniture if we have two babies…do you think we're going to survive?"

"After everything that happened in both your lives, I don't think you won't survive at two babies, even if they're yours!" My mother says from behind his back with a smirk. It startled him so much that he dropped the magazine onto the floor. I giggle and go to hug her.

"Thank you mom."

"Hey Alice! Sorry if I woke you up." Scott apologizes with a shy smile.

"That's okay, you didn't."

"Scott; mom's gonna stay here until the births."

"Oh, that's great! I mean, since I won't be here all day…"

"That's why I'm here. What's that?" She asks looking at the magazine on the floor. "How to be a happy couple? Special Wedding" She mutters reading the title.

"Uh, we were looking at a wedding magazine mom…Scott's mother is okay to pay for ours. Did I tell you she was a famous artist?"

"No, I didn't know…what's her name already?"

"Susan Boyle. She is a talented musician." Scott says glowing with pride.

"You'll probably meet her before the wedding. She's coming for a few days next week." I add with a small smile. I'm sure they'll be friends quickly.

Doctor's Office, Two Weeks Later

Oh, god what a busy day! First I have to go to the doctor to see if everything is fine and also to know the sex of the babies. Second, Susan is coming with her husband tonight and Scott and I have to go to the airport to pick them. Third…we don't have anything for diner. Scott is holding my hand as I lay on the table during the scan.

"You see that tiny thing here?" The doctor asks us with a small smile.

"Yeah, what is it?" I ask curiously. It looks like a finger.

"It's the sex. It's a boy." Scott smiles big…I always knew he wanted a boy. I wouldn't mind having a boy and a girl, then.

"Here the second…another boy. Congratulations! Those two boys seem perfectly healthy." Two boys…um interesting, isn't it. If you were seeing the look on Scott's face, ecstatic! Am I disappointed? Maybe yes…I wouldn't have minded having a girl…but that'll be for the next time…I plan on having tons of children!

I stand on the balance keeping my eyes to my tummy since I can't see my feet anymore. God, I'm so fat! Scott chuckles looking over at the number inscribed on the screen. I'm pretty positive he won our bet. Yeah, we bet about my weight…the question was to know if I would weigh more or less than him.

"You took seven kilos more. That means twenty one in all. You reached the seventy four kilos my dear."Damn it! That's bad! "You really have to be careful now, Shelby. You're only six months and if you continue you won't be able to move anymore.

"But I did efforts! I stopped eating rich oily food I was given by my fiancé. I try my best!" I say narrowing my eyes at Scott who is only smiling. I'm gonna wipe that smile off his face once we'll be alone, I swear!

"Okay. Look, I know this is normal to be hungry when you have two others stomachs inside. Try to reduce your diners then. The list you gave me shows that you're eating too much before going to sleep." Oh, the slut! How am I going to survive all night without a good diner?

"Well, I never have to vomit. I guess it's all digested." I say shrugging. I can't help but argue with her. It's not that I hate her, but she's pretty annoying.

"Believe me Shelby. All the food you eat when you don't need it will stay after the birth. And it will be difficult to lose it." Scott grinns again; I swear, that guy! He's a pain sometimes.

"I'll do sports." I retort with a victorious smile. What a great idea! I so love sports! Except the team games, the running, body-building, the swimming and the gym. Well, I have only the dance finally.

"That won't be enough." I can't believe this woman. Does she does it on purpose because I look better than her or is she simply stupid? I'm sure she never was pregnant…

"Okay. I'll reduce my diners then." But after tonight then…because we're receiving people. I can't pretend I'm not allowed to eat, it would be too impolite, wouldn't it?

-------------------------------

Next chap will be up as soon as possible...

Susan's coming, but this time she's not alone…discover how's her husband.

Alice and Susan meet.

Will the diner be a disaster?
