"Ms. Turner it seems as if you are pregnant with twins" Dr. Jones tells me. I slowly open my eyes and look at the screen. I can't really see anything.
"See the two little dots, that would be them" He says. As I look I can see them both. They are so small and inside of me.
"Wow" I mumble to myself.
"Here you go, you can wipe the gel off now. When you are done you can leave, but you will need to come back in a few months for a check up." He tells me as he hands me a paper towel. He then leaves the room.
I wipe of my stomach and pull my shirt down. I grab my things and walk back out into the front room. I set up my next appointment. I then go home to look for a new house. I can not raise two babies in an apartment. Maybe I can find a house with a big yard for the kids to play in. One day we might even get a pet. As I open the door and walk into my apartment I grab my laptop. I grab a bottle of water from the refrigerator and sit down on the couch. I then open my computer and start the search for a house.
1 and ½ Years later
"Willa, Philby I can't believe your finally here" I exclaim as I open the door to reveal my two friends.
"Hi" Willa shouts before she hugs me.
"Hi" Philby says in his British accent
"I want to see them, were are they?" Willa asks in a demanding tone
"Babe, calm down you can see them soon" Philby tells his wife
"Follow me they are in their rooms" I tell them.
I walk up the stairs with Willa and Philby behind me. I then walk into the first room on the right. The walls are painted blue with yellow ducks around the top. There are toys all over the floor and one crib angled in the corner.
"This is Austin Drake Maybeck" I tell them as I lift him up off of the floor.
"Aww he looks just like you" They tell me.
"Well he acts just like his daddy" I tell them. My voice drops slightly by the end of my statement.
"Let me guess, he is very persistent" Philby says. I just nod and smile.
This is a great day, my best friends are here. Plus they are bonding with my kids. It would be better if Finn and Jess were here. I am still kind of in shock by that surprise. It turns out that Amanda cheated on Finn with Jess's boyfriend Rob. After that we never really spoke to her again. Jess didn't even consider her a sister anymore. Finn and Jess were both depressed with the situation and ended up spending a lot of time together. Some how out of the whole situation they ended up together. I feel bad because I couldn't fly to Florida for the wedding. They understood though because I was pregnant and I wasn't allowed to fly.
"Can I hold him can I hold him?" Willa asks in a rushed voice.
"Sure" I say as I hand him to her.
"Oh my god, I remember when Colby was this little" She squeals.
"Honey, he is only like a year older. He isn't much bigger than Austin" Philby tells her.
"Speaking of Colby where is he?" I ask them. They share a cautious glance.
"Well um we may have left him with Maybeck" Willa says in a rushed voice. She then nervously looks around the room avoiding my gaze.
"It's fine." I tell her. She seems to calm down at those words.
"Lets go see Melody" I say. They follow as I walk in the room across the hall. The walls are painted a light pink with dark pink ballet shoes around the top. The room is the same as Austin's. Hers has slightly fewer toys on the floor though.
"This is Melody Rose Maybeck" I tell them.
"Oh my god she is adorable" Willa exclaims.
"Yeah" I comment
"Here hold him" Willa tells Philby. She hands him Austin then rushes over to Melody. She picks her up and you can see a look of terror on her face.
"Willa, gentle don't just throw him at me" Philby complains
"Hi baby girl" I coo at Melody. She seems to relax a little when she sees me.
"Can I keep them?" Willa asks me. I look over at Philby. He gives me a look saying that he will take care of it.
"Baby, we already have a two year old at home. We don't need another one." He tells her. Her expression changes from one of happiness to one of sadness.
"Does that mean you don't want another kid?" She asks. I can see the tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Thats not what I meant" He tells her before handing Austin to me. He then walk over to her and kisses her forehead. They are so sweet together.
"I would love another kid, but we are not taking Charlie's" He tells her.
"That's great cause i'm pregnant" She announces. Philby looks shocked. I am kind of glad he gave Austin to me or he might have dropped my little boy.
"That's great Willa" I exclaim. I set Austin down and go over to Willa and hug her. It was a little awkward with Melody squished in between us, but we managed.
"We should go downstairs and talk" I tell Willa and Philby
"Ok" they agree. I find it kind of weird how they are able to say things at the same time so often.
I pick up Austin and head downstairs. Once I reach the living room I put Austin in the play room and Willa does the same with Melody. We then walk into the dining room. We sit around the table waiting for some one to break the silence. Finally Philby does.
"Are you excited about their first birthday?" He asks
"Yeah I can't believe it's tomorrow. It went by so fast." I say.
"What are we gonna do for them?" Willa asks.
"Actually I was wondering if you could watch them for a few hours tomorrow?" I ask.
"Sure, but why are you leaving them with us one their first birthday?" Philby ask.
"I need to head into the city to pick up their present" I say
"What did you get them?" Willa asks.
"Well when ever I take them to the park they are always interested in the dogs. So I decided since they are getting older and I grew up with a dog they should too." I tell them.
"What kind?" Philby asks
"I am getting them this adorable brown labradoodle" I say.
Before they are able to ask me any more questions Austin starts to cry. I get up and go over to him to find that Melody took his bear. He is attached to that bear. I remember the first time he lost it. I thought I was going to go insane. I cried for hours, he wouldn't even sleep. I finally found the bear in his toy box. It was barely a minute after I handed him the bear that he had fallen asleep. I quickly grab the bear from Melody and give it to Austin. I know that Melody is about to cry because I took her toy so I hand her a coloring book.
Melody loves to draw. It's a trait she got from her daddy, maybe she will be as talented as him one day. I hope she is, he is a great artist. I want my baby girl to be just like him. Some times I wonder if I should tell him. There have been many times I have dialed his number but hung up before he answered. I am always to scared to tell him. I don't want to ruin his life, he is better off not knowing.
The next morning I wake up early and feed Austin and Melody. I then give them to Willa and Philby.
"Bye, be good for Aunt Willa and Uncle Philby" I tell them. They just kind of look at me expressionless.
"I will be back by noon" I tell Willa before leaving.
I drive into town and follow the directions given. I am supposed to be going to a little pet shop near the center of town. As I get closer my surroundings start to get a little more questionable. As I check the street name I realize I am going the wrong way. A few minutes later I enter the strange looking shop. There are lots of terrariums with lizards and snakes. After finding my way through the store I find where I need to be. I purchase the puppy a few toys for him and some other essentials. I then walk briskly back to my car with the fidgeting puppy.
"I'm home" I announce when I enter the house a few hours later. I set the puppy down and he takes off. I follow him into the play room. He is already playing with Austin.
"Happy birthday guys. This is your new puppy" I tell them as I sit down on the floor with them.
"What do you want to name him?" I ask. They look at each other, then to me, and then to the puppy. Austin grabs his fur and pulls.
"Squishy" he screams. I look at him and he stares at me with his pretty blue eyes. I then look at Melody who simply nods.
"I guess you have spoken. Our new puppy's name is Squishy" I tell them. They start to giggle at me. I then pick both of then up. I walk into the kitchen with one on each side and Squishy following behind me.
"What's his name?" Willa asks me.
"Don't ask me they named him" I tell her. She then looks to the little ones.
"What's his name?" She asks them
"Squishy" Melody shouts
"Squishy" Austin echos.
"Hi, squishy nice to meet you" Philby says to the puppy. This make the kids laugh. Me and Willa watch as Philby continues to make them laugh.
