My Mistakes

Chapter 9: Boy or Girl?

My heart sank. 

"Hello grandma?"I said my voice shaky. 

"Elyssa? Is that you? How are you?" she said sounding joyful. 

"I'm pretty good. Grandma I have to tell you something." 

"What is it Elyssa?"

I froze. I started to think how shocked she will be. She'll try to compare me to my mother. Finally I spoke.

"Uh well grandma I'm pregnant."

Everything was silence. All I heard was breathing so I knew she was still alive. 

"Elyssa is this true?" she asked. She sounded choked up.

"I'm so sorry grandma."

"Well does your mother know? This isn't here number. Who's number is this?"

"Well that's what I called to tell you."

It took a half hour to tell the whole story. After I was done I knew she was crying. After a little small talk I hung up. Everyone was starring at me.I knew they were waiting for what she said.

"Well she said she was throwing me a baby shower in a couple months and that I could continue living here unless you want to live with her."

"No. Living here is fine." said Kellin.

After that phone call I never heard from my grandma since. It was now 3 months since that phone call. I started to rock what people call "the baby bump" meaning I was getting huge. I had to drop out of high school because of the stress. Kellin's mom said it was bad for both me and the baby.  Today was finally a day that I could lay in bed all day with Kellin. It was perfect. Then there was a knock on the door.

"Sorry to interupt." said Kellin's mom walking through the door.

"You're fine" I said sitting up. Kellin got up too.

"Well I just got done talking to the doctor's office and you have an appointment tomorrow to check on the baby."

"What time tomorrow?" I asked.

"8:30. So get plenty of rest. It's good for you and the baby. Kellin you should get some too. You looked very stressed. Goodnight you two."

After she left the room I got up and changed into pajamas. Kellin came over and put his hands on my stomach.

"You're getting the baby bump baby." he said smiling. I'm glad he was ok with being a dad. I know most teen dads wouldn't stay with the teen mom. But Kellin was different. He wanted to have the kid. He seemed excited to have the kid. It made me happy to know that he wanted to stay and go through with this whole plan. 

"Oh stop it." I said playfully pushing him. "You know I get bigger right?"

"You will always be beautiful in my eyes. Now come on and get some sleep."

The next morning I had to wake up at 7. Kellin woke up too because he wanted to come with. We drove for an hour. I fell asleep for half of the car ride. I had a weird dream. I was getting checked out and then suddenly I went into labor. But I was still only 3 months. When I gave birth to what I thought was only one child it turned out to be twins. One boy and one girl. The boy came first and then the girl. I woke up shaken. Kellin grabbed my hand.

"What's wrong baby?" he asked me. I explained my dream to him.

"Woah. That's freaky. Well I don't think that'll happen babe. We're just going to see if it's boy or girl." 

He was right. I have nothing to worry about. I know I'm only having one kid. Today I was finally going to find out if it was a boy or girl. We finally got there at 8. We got checked in and waited for a half hour. Finally the nurse came back and got us into a room. "This is it." I thought to myself. After the doctor came in and asked a few questions he got me ready to have an ultra sound test done. As they were looking at the screen the nurse looked concerned. 

"Uh miss. Did they tell you how many you are having?" the nurse asked.

"One. We just came to see if it was a boy or girl."

"One moment please." shee said and then left the room. She came back in with the doctor. His face went from grin to full on smile. He looked at me and Kellin.

"Well miss Music. Congrats." he said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You're having twins."
