It had been a week since I found out I was pregnant and it was the day that my parents were coming back from vacation. During this week my brother his friends and boss worked on the girls' nursery it had pink walls two white cribs, pink flower bedding, and cute white signs with the names I picked out for them Nova Marie Hart and Noelle Parker Hart, and the baby essentials. And every morning I woke up and my stomach grew and grew but just by a little bit. Me and my brother also went to the maternity store so I could clothes for myself.
When my parents got home I was on the couch eating ice cream and my mother dropped her things and came over to me "Piper, are you ok are the babies ok?!"
"Everything is fine Mom"
"Ok maybe I was overreacting," My mom said with a sigh of relief she then rubbed my belly and started talking to the girls "Hey Girls It's Grandma you were a surprise but I and your mommy can't wait to meet you." Seeing my mom like this made me smile. "Hey Mom you wanna see the nursery?"
"Yah of course." Me and my mom walked over to the guest bedroom and I opened up the door my mom found it cute and that it was a perfect space for the girls when they arrived we all then left and went to bed.
It has been 17 weeks since the accident and im 17 weeks pregnant. Over the past couple of weeks, me and my family have been preparing for the arrival of the girls like getting outfits and bows, going to doctor appointments, and ultrasounds, and seeing my belly grow and expand every day. Today my Step-Uncle Mark is coming over to visit for the first time in a couple of years and we will tell him im pregnant. It was noon and Uncle Mark just arrived I walked up to him and said hi "Wow Piper it's been a long time and look at you, you gained weight."
"Hi Uncle Mark, Yah it's been a while." During the dinner, Uncle Mark was a little confused about why I was eating a lot and this was when I told him I was pregnant with twins. "Oh wow, who's the lucky father?"
"Umm, we don't know"
"Ok."
I said that so I didn't expose Henry's secret to Uncle Mark. After Dinner, me and my family sat and chatted with Uncle Mark catched us up on all the things that happened to him since the last time he came over. While we were chatting I felt a kick in my stomach interrupting the conversation "Guys, I felt one of the babies kick" My mom heard this immediately and responded, "Really Piper?"
"Yah"
"Oh, my goodness is this the first time they kicked?"
"Yeah, it felt so weird and crazy" After everyone heard the confirmation from me that was all they could talk about until I went to bed and Uncle Mark left. I woke up the next morning and my belly expanded more I walked downstairs and ate breakfast. Today my friend Marla whom I haven't seen since my graduation party is coming over and I can't wait. Marla arrived and when she laid eyes on me I knew I had to say something "I know I don't look like my normal self that's because im pregnant with twins" After I gave her the explanation she gave me a hug and told me she was happy for me. I then showed her the nursery she lit up when I showed it to her. We then went upstairs to talk about all the things we missed when we weren't together.
While I was talking my belly rumbled and Marla smiled and realized the twins were active she asked "Can I feel?" I nodded she then put her hands on my belly and seconds later one of them kicked and Marla was amazed "I can't believe your going to be a mom let alone to two little ones"
"I know it's crazy." Me and Marla then continued to reminisce and also felt the kicks from the twins. After we chatted and hung out for a little bit she left to go back home.
During the next few months, my belly expanded and grew and my family was getting our home ready for the girls. It was the middle of fall and I was 36 weeks pregnant I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen I groaned. My mom, who was sitting next to me asked me "Piper are you ok?"
"No, every 10 minutes I feel a sharp pain in my abdomen"
"Honey you're in labor we need to go to the hospital Henry grab Piper's hospital bag we're going"
"Ok" My mom then helped me up off the couch to get me in the car the sharp pains in my abdomen were getting stronger and very painful but it didn't matter we were on the way to the hospital. As soon as I got to the hospital they admitted me right away and prepped me for the C-section. The C-section went great both Nova and Noelle were born and had no problems and they were both so cute. I spent another 4 days at the hospital but as soon as I got home I knew that I was on my own. I did struggle to take care of them but after that first week, everything went smoothly.
