Ch. 6 – You've got to be kidding!

I looked at the calendar in the doctor's office and read that the date was Nov. 22, 06. I was at the clinic with Clarissa and her mom. This was surprising because no one expected her to tell her mother so soon. (Well not exactly soon it had been a while.) I was waiting anxiously as the time dragged on. Today was the day that we found out what the sex of the baby was.

Clarissa exited the room with a very awkward expression that I couldn't read.

"So is it a girl or a boy?" I asked in a curious tone.

"A girl……..and a boy."

"What!?!"

"I'm having twins."

"Is that good or bad?" I wasn't sure…?

"I'm not sure yet."

"Well we better start picking names." I said with a big smile across my face.

I returned home and sat in the living room with a pen and paper. I came up with a list of names and this was it:

girls

Boys

Ashley Marie

Eric Thompson

Isabella Tayler

Nicholas Adam

Aaron walked in and kissed the top of my head. Then he grabbed my hand and led me out side leaving behind my notebook. He put a blindfold over my eyes and sat me in his car.

"Where are we going Aaron?" I asked.

"You'll see."

We drove for what seemed like forever but in reality it was only about 20 minutes. The car came to a stop and he opened my door and helped me out of the car. He removed the blindfold and I knew what we were doing. I thought back to our freshman year when I told Aaron that I liked guys that were creative and I had also mentioned that it would be cool if a guy took me dancing. In the last five minutes I realized he had done both of those two things.

I looked at my surrounding and I saw that we were in an empty parking lot. There we were parked under a single street light. He still had the car running. As I continued to observe my surroundings he turned on my favorite song. "I turn to you by Christina Aguilera".

"May I have this dance?" He asked in a funny tone. I giggled and then managed to get out the words

"Of course." He wrapped his arms around my waist and I could feel the warmth of his body against mine. I gently put my arms around his neck bringing myself closer to him so that my head rested on his chest.

We danced and I felt as if I was a princess that had finally found her prince. The song ended and he pulled away and in between snuck in a quick kiss. The next thing he did caught me by surprise.

"I want to ask you something." He said as we laid in the backseat of his car looking up into the sky.

"Shoot." I said.

"Well, you I mean WE have been through a lot lately and I don't want to add to your stress but….Will you be my girlfriend." For once I was glad he couldn't see my face because I could feel my blushing cheeks turn to flames when he said the word girlfriend.

"Well….If I have to." I said in a giggly and teasing matter. He turned towards me and looked into my eyes.

"I love you Macy Brown."

"I love you too." I said as he kissed me.

He drove me home. All the lights in the house were on and I immanently knew something was wrong. I jumped out of the car and ran in, and Aaron followed.
