I’d never felt a heat so hot at that. I didn’t think that I would feel like I was in Hell, but the heat that radiated off of him was so intense that I thought the Devil himself was in front of me.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT0OTfHVWJ
I snorted awake from the couch and smacked, looking around. I must have fallen asleep to a movie or something. I didn’t really appreciate not being woken up when everyone else went to bed and led to my room. I know I was heavy and stuff but come on… I sighed, running my fingers through my red hair and noticed that I was sweating pretty badly. I felt sticky like I had been next to a fireplace for a while. I got myself off of the couch and waddled my way up the stairs so that I could go take a shower in my bathroom. Must have been my memory of that time again…
Ever since I got pregnant, the day it happened just wouldn’t leave me. I had tiny portions of it popping up in my head every time I went to sleep. I had the memories sometimes when I went to sleep before the rape but afterward it was like a constant thing. I remember waking up constantly screaming my head off and Uncle Thadeus coming into my room, holding me. He thought I was dreaming of being raped and I let him because he was not allowed into that world… he was not allowed to know the world I knew.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgB2ZpgJr8
I finally got to the bathroom and grabbed a towel from the linen closet and went into the bathroom. I turned the faucet on and stripped. I looked in the mirror and wanted to just turn into a blob and cry. I was so stretched and distorted, ugly stretch marks like a pattern along my pregnant belly and nasty ones on my thighs where they had widened to hold my enormous stomach. My boobs had gotten bigger, a least a cup, and I sighed, looking at my reflection with displeasure. I had to pull myself away from the mirror before I did something again and I got into the shower.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv57S1CbRR
The hot water blasting on me to wash away the sweat was welcoming. The babies must have felt the water hitting my stomach because they decided to act up and I touched my stomach. I felt something run along the inside of my stomach and smiled a little. It was a grotesque stomach but on the inside were little lives that were just waiting to see me, love me, and depend on me. As scary as it was, I was anticipating them as well. So, me and my babies took a shower in pleasant silence.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhKWXLh8Gc

“Avery, you’re going to have to take Remy to the obstetrician today.” Uncle Thadeus announced over breakfast.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxy1wqriy7
I had taken off for my visit to the OB/GYN today but I was capable of going by myself…317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyGrbBUlF5
“I’m fine, Uncle Thad, I don’t need Avery to take me. Besides, he has school.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DW4VaRZoh
“Yeah, Dad, I have school and stuff.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6MT5bJM5o
“Plus, the idiot doesn’t even know what an obstetrician is. How could he take me if he doesn’t know?” I said with a wry smile at my cousin.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6pA8Xi3Zd
Avery made a face at me and I stuck my tongue at him.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY0iNdjdwe
“Children. Remember, you need someone to take you there.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpJzWvnQ53
“I can take care of myself, Uncle Thad.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KPrOrziwk
“And look where it has gotten you.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlNN4pgi2q
“Jealous got me here.” I snarled, slamming my fork into my plate. “If he hadn’t left I wouldn’t be in this situation. My mother was dumb for naming us such weird ass names. At least make them something that doesn’t cause confusion in a time of crisis!”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi1So3obkJ
“Uh oh, preggo is moody…”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7pdfdsLpz
I screamed and flipped the table over on Avery. Uncle Thad just sighed and I gave him a look to say anything. He knew I had a bad temper since forever and he also knew that Avery was a pain in the ass and an instigator. Since I was also hormonal, the ability to keep my anger in check was harder than usual.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpLHjJqumS
“Remember…”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8MM7TQOYo
“He pisses me off! Why can’t you go back and live with your mother, Avery?!”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY8Q0qYvaY
“Why don’t you stop blaming Jay for your pregnancy, Remember?!”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f5E5DTNDr
“Why don’t you ask her why she made you came back here. Oh, right, everyone knows that she picked some prick over her own child. So how’s that for great parenting. At least I want my children.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaKzUH9IUg
“You’re a bitch.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZbWaItRbP
“Can dish it but can’t take it, huh?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdti4dIECsT
“If you two don’t quit it I’m going to kill you both. Avery, for being a jerk to Remy for no reason, you get to take her to the obstetrician. No exceptions. Remy, for being short tempered, you get to have Avery take you to the obstetrician. No exceptions. Now… Remy’s appointment is in two hours, so get dressed and take her.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOOqD95kPq
Neither of us were happy but we did it to ourselves anyway.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISmezMebGh
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTz0QCyx56
As we drove to my appointment, we didn’t speak and I just looked out the window. I hated going anywhere with Avery…317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfrXxlSvAL
“Look, I’m going to drop you off at your appointment and go do my thing. I don’t want to see your vagina all out in the open.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZEoSmmGyc
“You won’t see it, stupid. Only the nurse and doctor look there. The only thing you’ll see is the babies. And you can’t leave because I will tell Uncle Thadeus and make you be there for the delivery. Catch my placenta when it flies out, jackass.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2TZo3ET6U
“Ugh! That’s so gross! Fine, fine…”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK0HJxPtwm
I smirked as we pulled into the parking lot and even though Avery was a jerk, he was kind enough to open my door and help me out of his truck. I walked in and told them I had an appointment and sat down. Avery grabbed a magazine and began to read as I looked at all the posters in the lobby.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RpRtkxarV
Someone sat a little ways from me and I turned. It was a guy about my age or a little older with spike up black and blue hair, black eyeliner around his eyes and a piercing in his eyebrow, his lip and gages in his ears. I blinked at him and he turned to me. He smiled at me but when he saw my stomach he kind of lost his gusto so it seemed.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYheu6g1asR
“So, what are you having?” he asked.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLr36aXmAs
“Twins… I don’t know what gender though.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPNyUDzlFv
“Nice. What do you hope for?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFn624n7KH
“Girls.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzlu7UdQcH
He reached over and held out his hand. “I’m Peregrin, by the way. Don’t I know you?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lwUyeVNSn
“Peregrin? Do you go by a nickname?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoo8XBt5ie
“I used to go by Perry when I worked at the police station for a bit as a filing clerk.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdmXNAqWfI
“That’s probably where you know me from then. I’m the girl that used to always get put in the solitary cell for getting into fights…”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpOKoWtKyj
“Oh yeah! I remember you… Remember, right?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgBzJLmMo4
“Yeah.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSCIJchIJ4
“Aw, I remember them talking about how you would always defend your brother and stuff and that you were a great older sister but then it all stopped and stuff. I’m sure your boyfriend there knows what I’m talking about?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTDgXjGItT
Avery moved so that he could look at Peregrin with a harsh glare.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkR62MweAQ
“For your information, she’s my cousin.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79LM0jOQWX
“Oh, my bad. You didn’t seem like someone to get into that kind of trouble… Are you okay?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xCwpoU9x2
“Huh?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkeknsYYxk
“However it happened, you weren’t ‘hurt’, right?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8xMNAB5LX
“Not that I’m aware of… Just left with this.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXtL7CLg8d
Peregrin’s eyes, which were an odd shade of blue, looked at me in pity.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETYIE9S1SM
“I know how you feel. My sister was done the same way. She actually died though because she couldn’t handle it but I’m so happy you are alright.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j9D1ZmWmU
“Who are you here with then?” Avery asked. “I’ve seen you around school.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTfW6JwSVg
“My mom. Fourth sibling now…”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhE6aIAx1d
“Ms. Kennington…”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4kth5mipT
“That’s me. Thanks for talking with me.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpmdaCgI1z
“Hey, we’ll have to get together sometime!” he yelled as I went back.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse0kPsfIno
I blinked at him but followed the nurse to my room. I was given vitals and waited for the doctor. He came in and checked me and then prepared me for the sonogram to see what my babies were.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCISAYSGE9t
“Well, I see a little girl here and… oh? What’s this? A rarity indeed: a girl and a boy. Congratulations, Ms. Kennington.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoce1Z4reh
I sighed but had to admit that the babies were cute little alien looking things. I was given sonogram pictures and I walked out to see Avery.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3WiAJGZwN
“Well?”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ742cQDPry0
“A boy and a girl.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn1N9nQp9s
“Cool, best of both worlds. Oh, that guy left his number with me to give to you.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BNYZGv9lx
I took the piece of folded paper from him and looked at it. He had very nice handwriting… there was also something else on the page too, where he had written it.317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbTB0XxB92
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaGNU9nBuJ
“Hey, I thought you were amazing today. I hope everything goes alright for you. Peregrin.”317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV1OHdovZl
