It's December now. December 10th to be exact, so it's been 2 months since Corey and I had sex (the first time). I'm supposed to have an ultrasound today, although it's incredibly early. Apparently I have a "high risk pregnancy" so they have to check on me every so often. My sister-in-law Kat called me a few weeks ago and offered to help me, being totally opposed to the rest of my family's opinion. So, she's taking me to the doctor later today. Corey can't come because he has away games for the next few days and he leaves this morning. I got up extra early to spend some time with him. Right now we're stood in the kitchen, talking about baby names, because he is incredibly worried about that.
"What about Noah?" Corey questions as I sip at my tea.
"Again, why are you so convinced that it's going to be a boy?" I chuckle and he shrugs
"Well you told me that there's a higher chance of it being a boy." He comments
"Yes, but only a small percentage. We need to have names for both sexes. Or gender neutral names." I say and he smirks
"You're so hot when you talk smart." He teases and I snort, shoving him. He just smiles and takes my cup from my hands, setting it on the counter next to us. He sighs as he wraps his arms around my shoulders, squeezing me tightly.
"Ohh, Ev." He whimpers, "I'm going to miss you."
"Me too." I answer, resting my head against his chest and flinging my arms around his waist, rubbing his lower back.
"I better get going. I'm gonna go get Brandon." He frowns, kissing my forehead and pulling away. I nod and watch as he disappears into Brandon's room. Both of them come into the kitchen, bags in hand. They smile at me as they head for the door. They leave quickly and the door shuts loudly. Not even 10 seconds pass and there's a knock on the door. I bite my lip and tug at my collar before padding over to the door. I pull it open and Corey is stood with a smirk on his face. Before I can question him, he grabs my face with both of his calloused hands and kisses me harshly. I grab onto his jacket to steady myself as I kiss him back. He bites at my bottom lip and tugs at it as he pulls away from me, leaving me a breathless mess. My hands fall to my sides as I stare at him. He winks and walks out the door, again, closing it behind him. Jesus Christ, Corey.
The next few hours are boring and long, mostly consisting of Alyssa talking and me pretending to listen while I read. I've been reading a lot lately. My doctor told me that reading pregnancy books could keep me from getting depressed throughout and after the pregnancy. At 2:30, there's a knock on the door. I run over and see its Kat. I don't bother opening the door, I just grab my purse and shoes before leaving the apartment unannounced. We have a long conversation about everything as we make our way to the doctors. The waiting room is almost empty, as it is a Sunday. Yet we still wait for about 20 minutes before a nurse comes to get me.
"I'll wait here for you." Kat says as I stand up.
"No that's okay, you can come with me." I assure
"Really? It's kinda... intimate." She answers
"I think we'll be okay." I chuckle and she smiles, standing up and coming with as I follow the nurse. She takes us to the back and leaves quickly. Kat and I sit in silence, staring at each other as we try not the laugh. Finally, my doctor, Tara, comes in the room, sitting down as she smiles at us. We discuss a lot of the issues that I could have, such as having the baby early, having a miscarriage, the baby being weak, all of that scary stuff. I lay back and get comfortable as Tara lifts my shirt up and does her stuff. She doesn't say much as she looks at the monitor, which I can't tell if that's good or bad. Kat has a tiny smile as he eyes flicker across the screen.
"What? Do you know the sex?" I ask, lifting my head up slightly
"No, it's far too early for that." Tara says, glancing down at me. She nods her head to the monitor and I look at it, squinting my eyes. I see two little blobs next to each other. And then I realize that they aren't connected, and that they each have little limbs.
"Wait what is that?" I ask, still staring at it.
"Well," Tara brings her finger to the screen and points as she talks, "that's a head right there. And that's the body forming. And then that's another head, with another body forming."
My entire body freezes as I stare at my ultrasound. Then down at my stomach.
"T-Two?" I breathe, feeling faint. I look at Kat to see her nodding excitedly. Tara cleans my stomach off and helps me sit up. I sit there and blink, still not comprehending what's happened.
"She's in shock. She should be okay later." I hear Tara say, her voice fuzzy.
"Cmon, pretty." I look up to see Kat with her hand held out to me. I swallow the lump in my throat and take it, standing up. I follow her as she leads me outside to the parking garage. The whole time, I'm hyperventilating and touching my stomach. Kat gets me in the car and I sit with my legs crossed on the seat, biting my nails. Kat talks to me but I can't really focus on her.
"Tell me what you're thinking." She says and I drop my hand to my lap.
"Kat, I'm- I can't do this." I laugh, grabbing at my hair.
"Yes you can, Ev." She answers
"No, I could barely accept that I was having one baby, let alone two. I can barely take care of myself! And Corey goes away all the time, what am I going to do." I explain, tears forming in my eyes
"I'll help you, and Scott. I'm sure some of the other girls that you're friends with can give you advice. I can definitely give you advice." She chuckles and I sigh
"And, you've taken care of Jace plenty of times, since he was a baby. He's the Tasmanian Devil and somehow you can make him do anything." Kat adds, parking her car.
"Yea I guess so." I laugh, "But still, I'm overwhelmed."
"You won't be alone, I can tell you that. The first month will be the worst. You'll get used to it." She answers and I nod.
"Thanks for going with me." I say, taking a deep breath.
"Anytime, Ev. Call me if you need anything." Kat says
"Will do, love you." I say, getting out of the car.
"Love you." She calls and I push the car door shut. I collect myself and head up stairs, praying Alyssa won't be home. I step into the apartment and I roll my eyes when she calls my name.
"Not now, Alyssa." I call back and go to Corey's room, slamming the door. I sit on the edge of his bed, staring at the wall as I think. I don't know how anyone can handle having one newborn, but two is insane. And it's going to be just me sometimes. I don't know how I'm going to do it. I know Corey is going to be an amazing father, but even with the both of us working our asses off, I don't know how we're going to do it. I stand up and start pacing back and forth, thinking of different scenarios and solutions. Again, I start to hyperventilate. After maybe 10 minutes, I get a grip. I sit down on the floor and take deep breaths. I feel normal again and I look for my phone. I grab it and call Corey even though I know he won't pick up.
(Alright so looking back at the other chapters, I've realized I've done the math wrong. But we're gonna go with it and say Evelyn is 2 months pregnant)
