Forever Mine

Chapter 16

I felt the cold gel on my belly. I was a mixture of excited and nervous. We were going to find out the gender of the baby today. It had been a month since we moved in next to Emma and Ryan and it's been great. I feel myself relaxing a bit more. I'm "tolerating" Liam more too. I don't love him but I don't get so angry anymore when he tries to kiss me or cuddle up with me. I just let it happen. I insisted Emma be there but Liam said he wanted this just to be "the two of us."

I had a baby bump forming. It wasn't huge yet but it was noticeable.

"Well the babies heart beat looks great. Wait a minute." Dr. Evans pauses.

"Whats wrong?!" Liam looks panicked.

I shoot up and prop myself on my elbows. I feel a wave of panic hit.

"What's going on?" I croak.

Liam grabs hold of my hand.

"Well um, I am not quite sure how to tell you but it seems I have missed something on the other ultrasounds we've taken."

"Spit it out. What the fuck is going on." Liam snaps.

I squeeze his hand to hinting at him to calm down.

"Well you see, Avery you are pregnant with twins."

I start laughing. Uncontrollable laughter.

"Sorry what did you say?" I can't stop laughing.

"You're having twins Avery. It isn't common but sometimes twins can go undetected until later scans. One of these guys were trying to hide from you." He chuckles.

I pull myself up and run to the bathroom. I throw up into the toilet.

I can't have twins. I literally cannot have twins.

"Avery open the door." Liam's voice is stern.

"I need a second alone. Please." I beg him.

"Avery I said open it." His voice rising with anger.

I wiped the tears from my face and sighed. I grabbed my belly and stood up from the floor. I opened the door. Liam was standing in the doorway with a look of concern across his face.

"Are you alright?"
"No Liam. I'm really not. I didn't even want one baby! How am I supposed to deliver 2?!" i cry.

"Listen I know it isn't ideal but this is what was planned for us. We can't change it Av. Come on, we can talk about this later. Can we at least find out the gender?" He looks at me with pleading eyes. 

I held my stomach and looked down. At least he wouldn't have to rape me again. I  already will have given him two kids. That's something good, I guess.

"Yeah." I give him a small smile.

"Everything alright?" Dr. Evans asks us.

"Yeah all good. So can we find out the gender now?" I eagerly ask.

"Of course." He smiles at us.

Liam takes my hand and rubs his thumb back and fourth.

He takes a second a swishes the cold gel on my stomach. There is is 2 tiny little fetuses growing in my belly. 

"Ok, are you ready to find out the gender?!" Liam and I both look at each other and smile.

"Yes." We both say in unison. He gives me a grin.

-Thanksgiving Day-

"I can't wait to tell everyone we are having twins!" Liam grins.
