He's not my dad

Bonus chapter

@theother_ariel  Bonus chapter as promised. I hope you enjoy !

This cannot be happening, i pace the kitchen and run my hands through my hair. Weve been careful more than careful, how could this be happening. I scream as i trip over my daughters bike, ive told the kids more than once to leave their bikes outside. 

Greg smiles as he enters until he feels the cold chill in the air, one look at my face and he frowns. "what's wrong, are you ill"

I take my aggression out on the carrot im slicing, i slam the knife down almost scaring myself. " ill tell you whats wrong we need to call the lawyer, were suing Dr Mason"

"put that down before you lose a finger" he takes the knife from my hand and gently pushes it away. 

"why are we suing Dr Mason"

"the vasectomy didnt work im pregnant , again"

"oh thats wonderful" he rubs his hands on my non existent bump, i glare at him.

" it is not wonderful we were done hence the vasectomy, i cant believe this."

Greg moves away , i watch as he runs his fingers over his small beard, i know that look. Why is he feeling guilty. He turns and gives me a toothy smile, i know what hes going to say before he says it. "i my have not gone ahead with the vasectomy, i sort of thought it was pointless due to my age"

I reach for the knife which makes him flinch, i withdraw my hands and ball them by my sides. "you bastard, ive only just got my life back, my body back. how could you"

"i love your body when your pregnant, your know i cant keep my hands off you" he puts his arms around me before quickly removing them when i growl in warning.

"i hope you enjoyed last night" i say sweetly

"i did" he smiles remembering our romp in the hot tub when al the kids were asleep.

My fake smile slides off my face "good because its the last time you will ever touch me, i cant believe you. We agreed Harry could have 1 sibling, that was 4 kids ago. 6 kids were going to have 6 kids. God there hasnt been a year i haven't been pregnant since we got married"

"your pregnant, god dad i thought your sperm would be dust by now" Greg's daughter Savannah says as she wonders in the kitchen. I hadn't even heard her come in the house.

I narrow my eyes at Greg before i head back to the oven, "you love new-borns, you know it will be nice having a baby in the house"

"we have a baby in the house Hayley is only 3 months" i exclaim. Why isnt he freaking out.

"maybe its time we hired some staff"

Savannah takes a carrot from the chopping board and pops it in her mouth "start with a doctor to teach you two the importance of condoms"

.....................................................................

"i hadnt expected to see you again so soon, how old is Hayley 1" Dr Kelly says as she starts the ultrasound.

"Hayley is 5 months, Harrison is 15 months, Hadley is 2, Hope is 3 and Harry is 6 now" Greg replies hes beaming, hes proud of his children. I never thought he would be one of those guys who would show stranger photos of his children while bragging about their achievements.

"im noticing a pattern, one every year. Are you trying to set a record" Dr Kelly jokes.

I sit stone faced looking at my feet, Greg tries to hold my hand but i pat it away. I have hardly spoken to him all week, even the thoughtful gifts were not enough to lighten my sour mood.

Greg looks at the screen happily, hes excited to see the baby. I wish i could share his excitement but we have so many kids already that i can hardly find a moment to myself.

"Greg said youve finally agreed to hire some help" 

I nod, im killing myself doing everything myself. I want a ife that doesn't just revolve around changing nappies, cleaning and cooking meals.

"ive hired a chef, house keeps and a couple of nannies , im going to make him pay. Idf i cant make him pay physically ill make him pay financially."

Dr Kelly laughs, Greg doesn't care how much the staff care but i tell myself he will be bothered by my actions, it makes me feel a little better.

"there we are, 2 healthy heartbeats" Dr Kelly points at the two small blobs on the screen.

"twins"  i ask, Dr Kelly nods.

"TWINS, WERE GOING TO BE THE NEXT WALTONS"  I glare at my husband, hes trying but failing to not smile. 

" i want a divorce, you can have full custody of the kids, ill take the dog" im complain as i put my head in my hands.

"were going to struggle to name them if were sticking to H names. We will have to get a name book"

"is that realy what your thinking about, we will have 7 children. Thats ridiculous" 

"Just look at them, you know you want to" he gives me a sad smile, he wants me to share his excitement but I'm not sure I can.

...,..................

"You didn't have to stay and watch" Greg complains at he wobbles up the stairs to our home. I laugh as I stroke my large bump, only 6 months along but I'm as big as a house. Luckily I did get use to the idea of adding to our family but I put my foot down and said Greg needed to have a vasectomy or I would be moving out of our bedroom and unto the guestroom. He agreed that we didn't need to add any more children to our large family. He hadn't expected that I would insist on being there while the procedure was performed to make sure it actually happened this time.

"I think I did" I reply. He moans in pain as he walks, the doctor has said it would be a little uncomfortable but Greg is acting like he'd been castrated.

Chuck is sat at the kitchen island with Harry when we enter, it still hurts when I see them together. Harry looks like a mini version of chuck, it's quite scary really. I don't regret having Harry but I wish things had worked out differently, I wish he had been Greg's biological son. I'm dreading the day when I have to tell him chuck is his dad and not his brother, I'm sure he will judge me just like everyone else had.

"He went through with it then" chuck asks, his eyes linger on me a little too long. I know he still loves me, is obvious not only to me but to Greg too which can make things awkward.

"He did I made sure of it"  I ruffle Harry's hair before kissing his cheek.

Greg grimaces, he takes a bag of ice from the freezer and places it on his groin.

"Oh I have a gift for you" I walk to the pantry and collect the basket, I know chuck and I will laugh but I doubt Greg will be amused.

Greg rolls his eyes as he lifts the items , the first is a bag of sunflower seeds with a label that says "Rip to your seeds" and a carton of orange juice that says "all juice no seeds". I laugh uncontrollably,I have to hold my sides. Chuck takes the items In his hands, he throws his head back and laughs.

"It's ok dad, you have nuttin to worry about"

"Greg don't let him get you down it takes balls to have a vasectomy" we had both obviously been googling vasectomy jokes. This is hilarious.

Chuck smiles brightly before dropping the perfect one liner "We should cheer your bravery, snip snip hurray"
