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?315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZLw0DoQPU

“Remy!” I jumped a little and Ms. Millie looked at me with worry. “Are you alright, child?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsqN5Wr6a3
“Yes ma’am…”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VbyLlXHFv
“I called you at least four times and you never answered.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhUYq4uTPm
“Sorry… I guess I must have spaced out…”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXq93hKhn4
“Some people walked in at Table 6, looks like a big family.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY6OrU9J5Y
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.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdlMvqmbrO
“Hello, welcome. What can I get you all to drink?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNWRHY16Dr
The older man looked up and his eyes widened.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQxfACQZOc
“Oh, uh… A large cranberry juice.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ETKpbq6r
“Hmm, some coffee…”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwKG06Meen
“Mom, you can’t have coffee while you’re pregnant.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1GZL7IZ4o
“I’m cold though.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mdy49bzLp
“Do you have- Hey, it’s you.” He said with a grin to me.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4KLEBlggI
“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.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFdZo8wLfj
“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.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4M0xvMnC1
“Don’t blame just me… Perry, you know this girl?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgb5Nqf7rG
“Yeah, she went to my school.” He turned back to me. “You never called. Did I do something wrong?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTL9Caw8po
“Perry… Not here…” I said, looking at his parents.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYNT3b3ud8
“Pewwy wook! I got a cwayon!” one of the little ones said.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQagBpusC2
He turned swiftly to them and smiled. “That’s great. It’s a pretty blue one, huh?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI9nm8FROO
“Wike your eyes!” she said with a childish grin and put her hands over her mouth in embarrassment.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ACIwjxXtu
I smiled at them as Perry got the two little girl’s attention.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJecRh8l7Ul
“Sapphire, Pink, can you tell the nice lady what you want to drink?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtTaRupTQl
“I want sthweet tea…” the other little girl said.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFenueJ3MNS
“I want spwite!”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4fcTrLDJC
“Alright, a Sprite for you, sweet tea, hot chocolate, and cranberry juice. What about you?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo48BWRFhk
“I’ll have hot tea.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTSBreFPNr
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MM4ripBYK
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.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILONEjLLzJ
“I hope they didn’t offend you.” I heard beside me and looked over.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7ZFUexWMZ
Perry was looking at me with a worried expression.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4F9OBYoiD
“N-no, I wasn’t offended.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWg51AwX0r
“Are you sure? The girls aren’t exactly quiet but they’re sweet so they didn’t mean any harm.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRepPhEP7xq
“I know they’re just curious. I’m sure they ask their mother questions all the time… By the way what is she having?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZHDJfT0kW
“A boy. I think my dad will stop now.” He said with a chuckle as he played with the tea bag. “What about you?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R0Z7UmfoT
“A rare boy and girl.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOAddJ2hda
“Awesome… Did your cousin not give my number to you?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19gU4X1UJn
“Um, well, he did but… I thought you were joking.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ajNC2v0q
“What do you mean?” he asked, turning his head at me calmly.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO5zJxFU6H
“Well, seriously, you met me at the obstetrician’s office…”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGkt6YQsOR
Perry played with his lip ring for a moment and with his tea.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSoAHfC4sf
“So, just because I met you at a weird place doesn’t mean I wanna get to know you?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Do2ol92l
“It was the obstetrician’s office.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIvXuBEVYV
“Alright, so I have a fetish.” He said calmly, looking up at me with just his eyes. “Pregnant girls turn me on.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepILTKS0lD
“Um, that’s great to know.” I said with a nervous laugh.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hxheG94bE
“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?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21czHIunVb
“I never-“315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rdGNvIMhj
“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.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pAC2vIPeu
“Order up, Remy.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa02ev5sbpj
“I have to get back to work.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCRrwdVeTu
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…315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas7zAgzddj
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtewWDYpZ6
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.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwJ1YQnYhN
“Um…”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yqyi611iO
“Happy gender-finding-out!”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Wkv6WoZx
“Uncle Thad, that was like a week ago.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmo5a5haTo
“I know but I didn’t get to do anything for you!”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8fQDwOiiu
“We’re having a party of three.” Avery said with a sigh. “I was invited because I live here.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJOZbQEfH0
“I figured that, stupid. But seriously, what’s going on?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSKIChgaqw
Uncle Thad smiled and put his arm around my shoulders, leading me up the stairs.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGgE1l4JjQ
“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.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuqmh7gvj0
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.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80OhIYQL4Y
“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?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInBllZWgnt
“It… It’s so thoughtful but… I can’t accept this.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgTB2iS8CP
“Why not?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR1dS9ScZo
“I can’t walk in here because everywhere I look I see Jealous!” I cried, bawling into my hands.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m1vqRYQiJ
Uncle Thadeus pulled me into a hug and stroked my head softly.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEt19KhBeq
“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.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQJNcA9sMC
I sniffled and nodded but looked at him sadly again.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9en8yC1Ge
“Well, can I make a regretful request?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Y2HggN8t
“I guess…”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuIQCCMTD2
“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.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHQE5iwS15
Uncle Thad laughed. “That we can do. Are you going to keep with naming tradition and give your kids crazy names?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXrdOFazry
“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.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0h8zzCWKC
“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.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFE84UKHkn
“You can keep the stuffed Chewbacca though. That’s too adorable.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuABSDivH1
We laughed and left the room.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt09U8q2hs
315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7a5vnwSfb
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.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvVvF6msBI
“Hello?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpg46iIbOJ
“Um… is this Perry?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4uejXPbZC
“This is his father. Who is this?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5n9ah2PoQ
“Um… a friend. Can I talk to him? Perry, that is…”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzOLfKAjwG
“PERRY! THERE’S A GIRL ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14GRp6svXq
I draw circles on my tummy and a foot pressed up to say hello. I poked it and it kicked back.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrmagiR6gy
“Hello?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EebScj4Aa
“Um, hi. This is Remy… um… I… IjustwantedtosayIwassorry, BYE!”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Tt51gU45
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.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaa19dr2oL
“He- hello?”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR3iVc4bTG
“You wanna run whatever language that was by me again?” Perry said from the other end with a laugh.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgAibQQX6s
“I… I’m sorry…”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckZUo4oH3G
“Don’t be. I’m sure that was really weird coming from someone who looks like me.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPximS45ASV
“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!”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZgpxsW7xP
Perry was dying on the other end of the phone.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Gd0mAt9x
“No, you’re right but it’s still funny.” He laughed some more.315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqI8jPCTDe
“I’m not very good at this sort of thing.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKVghseB5A
“I’m not either.”315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmrb9yWfHX
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… 315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztDj5AFzhW
