What cuts the deepest
Dipper and Mabel stared at each other, both with a guilty look on their face. All they wanted to do was just to be happy, but all that has happened is they've been alienating all the people that they love. With only their Great Uncle Stan seeming to be the only one sill on their side. Dipper once again grabbed hold of Mabel's hand and gave it a small reassuring squeeze before once again begining the walk back home to the Mystery Shack.
"Dip... Do you smell that?" Mabel asked, disgust etched on her face at the horrible odour filling her nosterils
"Smell what?" Dipper asked, sniffing the air and not being able to find what Mabel was on about.
"Ughhh I think I'm gonna be sick" Mabel complained, letting go of Dipper's hand and rushing over to the side of the country lane and started to throw up. Dipper stood back and waited until Mabel had finished.
"You okay?" He asked her, moving over to help her back up.
"Yeah" Mabel muttered, leaning on Dipper
"Oww!" Mabel moaned. moving away from where she was resting up against Dipper
"What's up?"
"I don't know. My side is really sore." She told him, gently rubbing the side of her chest where the pain was coming from.
"Come on... Let's get you home." Dipper suggested, gently leading Mabel back towards home.
Back at home Mabel had flopped down on her bed and began to nap. Dipper was sat on his, laptop open researching 'first signs of pregnancy' reading through the list and glancing over at Mabel, he began to wonder and fear that Mabel might indeed be pregnant. He closed his laptop down and moved over to Mabel's bed and sat down on the edge and began to stroke her hair.
"Hey sleepy head, time to get up." Dipper whispered
"Noooo... Don't wanna." Mabel murmered, swatting Dipper's hand away.
"Come on... We need to talk."
"We do? That sounds serious... And bad." Mabel sat up and looked at Dipper, fear evident in her face at what her brother might say here.
"It is." Dipper confirmed,
"Mabel..."
"Please don't say this is over. Please I'm begging you." Mabel pleaded interupting him. Tears begining to fall from down her cheeks.
"Hey, hey, hey. We're not over, it's just... I... I think you might be pregnant" He finished.
"Huh? Preg- pregnant?" Mabel was in shock. In her head though everything clicked and it all made sense. Why she was so sick all of the time, why she seemed to be able to smell things that Dipper or Stan couldn't and why during the past week or so her breasts had started to become sore and why her mood had been changing so often, even if she did try and hide her bad moods from Dipper.
"You know... I think you might be right" Mabel admitted with a sigh.
"You wanna take a test?"
"I think it'd be a good idea."
An hour later Mabel and Dipper were walking into town towards the Gravity Falls drug store. Walking past a group of kids from school, they dropped their heads hoping to sneak past unnoticed, they had almost made it past everybody until they noticed Pacifica Northwest standing at the end of the group, freezing momentarily before quickly trying to move past her before she spotted them. A cruel smile curled the lip of the young blonde. Not letting them out of her sight she began to follow them from a short distance.
"Come on, let's see where the freaks are going to." She motioned to one of her friends to follow her in tailing the twins.
Pacifica and her friend snuck in behind the twins into the drug store and stalked them, keeping out of sight until they saw Dipper and Mabel come to a stop down the family planning isle where they began to browse for pregnancy tests.
"Oh my god! The perverts are having a baby?!" Pacifica whispered gleefully. Turning around and running out of the store.
"This one looks pretty good." Mabel suggested, picking up a test to read the information on the back of the box
"Yeah I think I'll take this one" Mabel confirmed, reaching into her handbag to grab her purse
"Oh no!" she muttered, not being able to feel her purse in her bag
"What's up?"
"I can't find my purse." Mabel complained
"Lucky for you I'm not a total klutz who forgets everything." Dipper smiled, poking his tongue out at his twin sister.
"Oh ha ha." Mabel rolled her eyes at Dipper but then turned to face him
"Would you mind getting it... I'll pay you back when we get home?" She asked
"Okay, but you don't need to pay me back." He told her.
"Thanks Dip."
Back in their bedroom the twins were sat on Mabel's bed reading the instructions for the test
"Okay so it says I do my business on it and wait for two to three minutes and if two lines appear then it means I'm pregnant" Mabel recited
"Sounds simple enough" Dipper nodded
"I'll be back in a moment then" Mabel stood up, pecked Dipper on the cheek and made her way towards the bathroom. Dipper waited on Mabel's bed for what seemed like a year until Mabel slid back into their room, test in hand. She placed it down on the bed and sat next to Dipper
"So what now?" Dipper enquired
"Now we wait" Mabel whispered
"But first I need to know Dipper... What do you want this test to say?" Mabel asked him. Dipper glanced down at the test before fixing his gaze once again upon Mabel
"I honestly don't know. I mean on the one hand a family with you would be one of the most wonderful things..." Dipper began
"But...?" Mabel questioned, leading Dipper into finishing his sentence.
"But on the other hand... We're twins and that could really mess this baby up, it could have... I dunno, two heads or six fingers on each hand." Dipper finished.
"I could give birth to the author of the journals... We know time travel is possible thanks to Blendin" Mabel giggled. Dipper couldn't help but smile at Mabel's idea and before long the twins were crying with laughter.
Mabel took a deep breath to calm down at stop herself from laughing.
"Okay... Let's see these results" She gulped, picking up the pregnancy test. Dipper leaned in closer to look. Mabel turned it over and saw two lines.
"I'm pregnant." Mabel acknowledged.
