I’d never seen anything like it in my whole life. I’d seen it happen in books, movies, and TV shows but never in real life. What I was seeing couldn’t be real, right?440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Hy9eCyO3

“Remy!” I jumped a little and Ms. Millie looked at me with worry. “Are you alright, child?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7I2Y7yHa3
“Yes ma’am…”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRYXPe9drR
“I called you at least four times and you never answered.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K3GoCvDpz
“Sorry… I guess I must have spaced out…”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHDFKHovK8
“Some people walked in at Table 6, looks like a big family.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjxGrDp0l
I nodded and smoothed my apron over myself to go to the table. I walked up to them and was surprised to see the guy from the obstetrician’s office there with what looked like twin sisters and his parents. I grumbled at my horrible luck but walked up.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bMtZlvNT8
“Hello, welcome. What can I get you all to drink?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xI6ZNDQWb
The older man looked up and his eyes widened.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUISj5vLzag
“Oh, uh… A large cranberry juice.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfB3nQyd8O
“Hmm, some coffee…”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a1YTCPkBe
“Mom, you can’t have coffee while you’re pregnant.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp0KXajcYs
“I’m cold though.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ML5kmVSJ
“Do you have- Hey, it’s you.” He said with a grin to me.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nsznMtSda
“Yeah… yay…” I said a little sarcastically but I was already embarrassed that his father was looking at me weird and the fact that he was here in general. “Um, we have hot chocolate or hot tea.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iCntaX9uG
“I guess hot chocolate will do. Ugh, I’m dying for some coffee again but somebody won’t quit getting me pregnant.” She growled, kicking the man in the leg.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgIhlpnZ5G
“Don’t blame just me… Perry, you know this girl?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQLIFdQScb
“Yeah, she went to my school.” He turned back to me. “You never called. Did I do something wrong?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkkLT7FChU
“Perry… Not here…” I said, looking at his parents.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJBQADEeJ4
“Pewwy wook! I got a cwayon!” one of the little ones said.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnMKDTOjBB
He turned swiftly to them and smiled. “That’s great. It’s a pretty blue one, huh?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBbscpux3u
“Wike your eyes!” she said with a childish grin and put her hands over her mouth in embarrassment.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuaVEMyhsL
I smiled at them as Perry got the two little girl’s attention.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvL8xROoXr
“Sapphire, Pink, can you tell the nice lady what you want to drink?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYl0Ap8bXU
“I want sthweet tea…” the other little girl said.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXFmYBxhtE
“I want spwite!”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY64xQvkMhF
“Alright, a Sprite for you, sweet tea, hot chocolate, and cranberry juice. What about you?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwji8vyI2WB
“I’ll have hot tea.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr0PDbcFbc
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiy1h2l1DN
I walked to the back and got everyone’s drinks, bringing it back. They ordered and I went back behind the counter where I felt safer and tried to breathe.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlr39WMlYi
“I hope they didn’t offend you.” I heard beside me and looked over.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohATZSV0Zu
Perry was looking at me with a worried expression.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcyKGoBZXt
“N-no, I wasn’t offended.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUg6Kq6Ky8
“Are you sure? The girls aren’t exactly quiet but they’re sweet so they didn’t mean any harm.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXNt2rZxV6
“I know they’re just curious. I’m sure they ask their mother questions all the time… By the way what is she having?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKfYoCgw04
“A boy. I think my dad will stop now.” He said with a chuckle as he played with the tea bag. “What about you?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYDj8VDWuP
“A rare boy and girl.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2llhbVZyJ0
“Awesome… Did your cousin not give my number to you?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1bC8BjsIb
“Um, well, he did but… I thought you were joking.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCZIUpVN8X
“What do you mean?” he asked, turning his head at me calmly.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKfdq1Kh8L
“Well, seriously, you met me at the obstetrician’s office…”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OWaryd48d
Perry played with his lip ring for a moment and with his tea.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd3Od3kLCa
“So, just because I met you at a weird place doesn’t mean I wanna get to know you?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON8zWc6gnp
“It was the obstetrician’s office.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXO8uzU4dk
“Alright, so I have a fetish.” He said calmly, looking up at me with just his eyes. “Pregnant girls turn me on.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUTQr5Gs10
“Um, that’s great to know.” I said with a nervous laugh.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWB7AcRyx4
“I’m not trying to be creepy and the only reason you think I am is because you think you’re undateable or rather, ugly, right?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzbVpR3Q3L
“I never-“440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCQKJeEBND
“Remember… I’m not trying to be strange or get on your good side. I’m being genuine here. I had a crush on you before when I worked at the police station but seeing you like this… It’s really hot.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlr5e6FUhB
“Order up, Remy.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8prRzPZB4
“I have to get back to work.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXFeLrVtwI
Perry smiled a little and went back to his seat. I really was kind of freaked out but I was also unsure. I mean, most people don’t come up to you and say that your pregnancy is hot. I felt really bad because I think I offended him…440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9JUTgd1lS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExaRnDEQ0M
I walked into the house, still feeling really horrible about what happened with Perry when I heard a popper crack and I screamed. I looked over at the living room and saw Uncle Thad with confetti on his head and Avery with a kazoo in his mouth. He gave a pitiful blow.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg8ZXlq0JP
“Um…”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5V2KzMhvm
“Happy gender-finding-out!”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyuZ5o7JCD
“Uncle Thad, that was like a week ago.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1sklQMbfm
“I know but I didn’t get to do anything for you!”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK6dLgEH1v
“We’re having a party of three.” Avery said with a sigh. “I was invited because I live here.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kcHKYag4q
“I figured that, stupid. But seriously, what’s going on?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKU4i6tQr6
Uncle Thad smiled and put his arm around my shoulders, leading me up the stairs.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyMsNaEtQ7
“We have a surprise for you.” He pulled me along and then stopped at a door. “Close your eyes.” I sighed but did as he told and he pulled me along for a second. “Alright, open.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHJPfyqzMx
I opened my eyes and my heart fell. It was a nursery… One side was Star Wars themed and the other side was themed in Fruits Basket. I put my hands over my mouth.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNR5HxD4RK
“I remember that you said if you had one or the other you’d want the boy to be a Star Wars kid and the girl you wanted to have a more anime side to her. So, you get the best of both- Remy? Why are you crying?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilNZRhNQEs
“It… It’s so thoughtful but… I can’t accept this.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIops3ubYZP
“Why not?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HYiS8GCxo
“I can’t walk in here because everywhere I look I see Jealous!” I cried, bawling into my hands.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9QHfC98wE
Uncle Thadeus pulled me into a hug and stroked my head softly.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwRCV8v2oQ
“Remy, Jay is gone. Where he went, I have no idea, but you can’t blame yourself for making him leave and you can’t blame him for not being there when you called that fateful night. The best we can do is make do with what we have now and what we have are two little people coming into the world who is going to need their mother more than anything.” I looked up at him and he smiled. “Think of this as a step forward. You can’t avoid everything forever. You’re going to run into things that Jay liked but believe me, Remy, there are worse things.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx41Qhy7sBh
I sniffled and nodded but looked at him sadly again.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjzqo2eBIu
“Well, can I make a regretful request?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlxLh6q8OC
“I guess…”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKExAIHpcUF
“Can we just make them both anime babies? Can you exchange or sell this and make the boy’s part Fullmetal Alchemist or Bleach? I won’t be so emotional with that. You know how much Jay loved Star Wars. That’s just a little much.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLepD3Mig8
Uncle Thad laughed. “That we can do. Are you going to keep with naming tradition and give your kids crazy names?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2rvpdueRB
“Yes and no. More like not really used that often names that just seem weird.” Uncle Thad chuckled and I hugged him again. “I’m sorry.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiIajI9NgW
“Don’t be. You were so close to him and care for him most of the time. You have every right not to be constantly reminded of him. We’ll see what we can do.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYF2ePDVFr
“You can keep the stuffed Chewbacca though. That’s too adorable.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1tqvEEYaU
We laughed and left the room.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1NxSjHZrQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwqvpZ2Uns
I played with the little piece of paper that Perry had given me and I sighed. I should totally apologize to him… I dialed the number and waited for the phone to ring.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbjP6pPaVu
“Hello?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r4GIsWrx5
“Um… is this Perry?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NQrpBcxSJ
“This is his father. Who is this?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7VuEB0lbV
“Um… a friend. Can I talk to him? Perry, that is…”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhAdr6XgiE
“PERRY! THERE’S A GIRL ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopppU1f42Z
I draw circles on my tummy and a foot pressed up to say hello. I poked it and it kicked back.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu7gAgz6pe
“Hello?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLCcrJQsMQ
“Um, hi. This is Remy… um… I… IjustwantedtosayIwassorry, BYE!”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QlldLCMQW
I hung up quickly and squeed, putting my face in my hands in total embarrassment. I could take on four boys to defend my brother but taking on one to talk with like a girly girl? I suck… I screamed when the phone rang again and I turned it on.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3V6GFDSt9
“He- hello?”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRxcZQQt70
“You wanna run whatever language that was by me again?” Perry said from the other end with a laugh.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmrm8vFuqt
“I… I’m sorry…”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kUNy3IHEI
“Don’t be. I’m sure that was really weird coming from someone who looks like me.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwhkWkC82t
“No. Just weird in general. Actually, if you had looked like you used to, I would have taken it to a different level of weird. Oh god! I’m sorry, I’m horrible!”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc25vQ74wE
Perry was dying on the other end of the phone.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswpdv9ljTh
“No, you’re right but it’s still funny.” He laughed some more.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTeeLhFOUz
“I’m not very good at this sort of thing.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TlZ1D6hd8
“I’m not either.”440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SNGkxQldM
We talked into the night and laughed about lots of things. I felt happy for the first time since Jealous left. I felt at peace with myself… 440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57i0fd8Dpt
