Chapter 5
"Oh Mom I'm so nervous this is the first time I've ever been to the doctor for more than an averahe check-up. We've known this doctor for years will she look down on me for getting pregnant so young Mom," Jeanette said sounding as worried as ever.
"No sweetheart no one is any better than you. You just made one huge mistake, but life moves on and things will get better," said Miss Miller while at the same time she was wondering if the doctor would look down on her for not being a good enough parent.
"Anyway I wonder where Simon is he said he would meet us here at 7:30 it's already 7:45 I hope he's okay 'cause I've always known him to be very punctual. So this being late thing is completely out of his character."
"I'm sure he's fine he may have just overslept. Look there he is now," Miss Miller said as Simon walked in looking extremely tired.
"Hey Jean Miss Miller. I haven't missed anything have I, I overslept this morning. I had a late night thinking about different things as far as money and the baby," said Simon right after an extremely long yawn.
"Me too I was so beat this morning I almost called to cancel the whole doctor's appointment this morning. On top of that I've been throwing up and stuff all day, and I feel like I look hideous this morning," said Jeanette while standing up to hug Simon.
"I was thinking last night about all the money we make on our different tours, and you're gonna miss the one coming up in about a month and a half 'cause you'll just of been having the baby. All the money we have saved up is gonna be just enough to take care of the baby for a couple of months including doctor's visits and stuff. So I think on top of the bands we're each gonna have to work another job just to take care of doctor's bills alone."
"Wow so when you said you were thinkin you were planning out our life for the next couple of months. Did you ever consider the fact that their may be more than one baby. Or about how we are gonna keep on touring for years to come with possibly more than one baby under foot."
"Whoa Jeanette lay off of Simon for a minute he was just trying to be responsible. Maybe you should apologize to him now," said Miss Miller right as the nurse came out into the waiting area and said "Jeanette Miller"
"Sorry Si. We still need to talk but let's head on back," said Jeanette in an apologetic tone.
"It's okay I know the stress has got you really tense right about now," said Simon calmly.
In The Examination Room
"Hello Jeanette. How are you today," said doctor Kleinstein the family vet who had been with them through the years.
"Hi doctor Kleinstein," said Jeanette and Simon.
"Oh hello Simon I didn't see you there."
"It's okay," said Simon
"Okay Jeanette I understand you think you're pregnant," said the doctor.
"Oh yeah. I took this pregnancy test to if I was 'cause I kinda susupected it for about two or three days because I had been sick for about 4 days. At first I thought it was a virus but then I was like well maybe Simon could've gotten me pregnant so I took a test," said Jeanette.
"Well human pregnancy tests aren't always that accurate on chipmunks. We can take a sonogram just to be sure," said doctor Kleinstein
"That's fine. Can we go ahead and get this stupid thing over with. I just wanna Know if I'm pregnant," said Jeanette frantically
"Okay if you can just lay back and lift your shirt up over your head we can get this show on the road," said the doctor as he moved the ultrasound machinery towards the examination table.
"Alright I'm ready. Warn me if that gooey stuff you're gonna put on my stomach is gonna be cold."
"It is gonna be really cold."
"Cold it is freakin freezing."
"Alright we're gonna get started. Well you are expecting. There are three of them. I won't be able to tell you the sexes until you are a month and a half. They are developing at a normal rate though. So I think I'm gonna prescribe you some pre-natal vitamins. Also you and Simon will have to make a decision together as to what you wanna do with the babies so that if you decide to keep them I can start preparing you for parenthood," said the doctor while he was performing the ultrasound.
"Uhm is there anything you'll need from me if we decide to keep them," said Simon.
"I will need a medical history on your side of the babies families as well as Jeanette's so that I kinda get a clue as to any possible birth defects that I may need to be aware of," said doctor Kleinstein as he finished up with the ultra-sounds.
Chapter 7
"Alvin what in the HELL am I gonna do with triplets. If our mother couldn't take care of the three of us how are me and Jeanette two 15 year olds gonna take care of three babies. With our combined money from the tours and other stuff we can only afford one kid for about two years. Plus with the Jean is gonna have to take off from touring after she has the babies we're gonna have to work and at damn Burger King or freakin' McDonald's 'til we graduate just to be able to feed one baby let alone three," said Simon in an angry tone.
"Well bro at least you can say your sperm is so potent you killed three birds with one stone," said Alvin while laughing at his own joke.
"Alvin you are so damn stupid it's not even funny. Do you know how much responsibility come with one baby. Not even gonna mention the fact that Jean and I are gonna have to take care of three. I mean I never even considered having to take care of a kid when me and Jeanette were havin sex 'cause we were so careful."
"Well me and Britt have been goin at it since we were like 12 and nothing like this has ever happened to us. So what did you put the condom or something on wrong, aren't you 'sposed to be the smart one. Naw I'm just messin' witchu, but anything you need as far help I'll do except babysitting or changing diapers I don't do kids they mess up your rep."
"Whatever Alvin I'm tired I think I'm gonna turn in early."
"I guess we'll talk later. Hey do you want me to give Theo the news on the triplets or do you wanna?"
"You can go ahead and tell I don't think I wanna talk about it anymore until I have to tell Dave. When he gets back from Mexico."
"Night. It's all gonna work itself out lil' bro," said Alvin seriously.
The Miller Household
"Ladies things did not go how I would have liked at the doctor's today," aid Jeanette as calmly as possible.
"Well what'd he say sis it could not have been that bad," said Eleanor.
"Yea what'd he say. What are you having triplets or something Jeanette," said Brittany sarcastically.
"Actually that's exactly what he said. I'm not gonna have to try to take care of one baby, but three. I can't believe my luck is actually this bad," said Jeanette on the verge of tears.
"Jeanette if I had any clue that's what it was I never would've said that," said Brittany apologetically.
"It's okay I know you didn't mean it like that. It's not your fault. It's all mine I never should've let Simon talk me into sleeping with him. I knew I wasn't ready for sex, but I was so stupid I thought it would make me and Simon closer. Ha guess that didn't work he seems so much more distant now than he ever did before. Can I really blame him though it's my fault I'm pregnant now."
"No it's not your fault Jean it was a mistake. You know even after all this with you and Simon Alvin is still pressuring me for sex. I've been telling him no since we were 12 I thought this would make him reevaluate the situation apparently it didn't. Jeanette you can't change that now so don't beat yourself up over this it's not just your fault it's Simon's too. Sex is supposed to be worth it was it worth it for you lil' sis," said Brittany while crying just like her sister.
"It wasn't worth it at all. Especially not for it to end like this. Anyway Simon doesn't have to walk around all fat even if it is his fault too. I'm gonna have to walk around getting dirty looks for being a pregnant teenager not him," said Jeanette sniffling between almost every word.
"I'll kick anyone's ass who even considers being rude to you. If they have a problem with my sis they have a problem with me. I'll kick ass and ask questions later," said Eleanor forcefully.
"Aww thanks Ellie. I think that's the sweetest thing anyone's said to me all day," said Jeanette after she finally got her tears under control.
"You're welcome big sis. I really did mean that."
"Well thank you but I have a tone of omework and makeup work 'cause I missed the beginning of the school day. So I think I'm gonna do that then go to sleep," said Jeanetee heading upstairs to her room.
"Night Jeanette!" called Eleanor and Brittany after her.
"I really hope this hasn't broken her spirit. She shouldn't have to go through this," said Brittany.
"I know what you mean. She's so sweet and kind, but all we can do at this point is be there for her," said Eleanor.
" I think I'm gonna go get something to eat," said Elaeanor after a long period of silence.
"I'm gonna go take a bubble bath," said Brittany as Eleanor walked out of the living room.
