Tomorrow was the twins first birthdays. They could walk and talk a little now. They were mini Francisca's. Jonathan was playing with the girls downstairs. Francisca was upstairs in the bathroom. She'd been feeling the way she was when she was pregnant with the girls. She'd just thrown up and she felt terrible. She wanted to focus on the girls party for now. She went downstairs.
"Mommy, mommy." Fredia said going over to her. "Up." She said holding up her arms. Francisca picked her up. "Hi."
"Hi."
"You alright?" Jonathan asked looking at her still playing Felisia on the floor.
"Yeah."
"You look a little pale." "After dinner go lay down." "I've got the girls."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Ok."
The next day they gave the girls their own tiny cakes, which they each got all over themselves.
"Look at our messy girls." Francisca said.
"Yeah but they're adorable." Jonathan said. "Girls, look at daddy." He took a picture.
Later that night Jonathan was getting ready for bed. Francisca came into the room.
"I have to show you something Jonathan." She said. She held up a positive pregnancy test.
He smiled. "We weren't evening trying this time."
"I know." "I've suspected it the last week or so but I wanted to focus on the girls birthdays." "I think it's twins again." "I feel the exact same way I did when I was pregnant with the girls."
The following Tuesday Francisca and Jonathan were at the doctor. Francisca was hooked to the machine.
"Just as you suspected." The doctor said. "It is twins."
After the doctor Francisca and Jonathan stopped to have lunch.
"Jonathan after the twins come, I'm thinking about getting my tubes tied."
"I'll get a vasectomy."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." "I don't want you to have surgery."
