IT WAS ALWAYS YOU(complete)

"NEW BEGINNINGS"

*4 years ago*

Aunt Clare walked into the kitchen where Sarah and I were eating brownies and ice cream and declared "I'm going shopping." Sarah and I looked at and then then at each other and then we bursted out laughing. Aunt Clare was shocked and asked us why were laughing and I said nothing but Sarah kept on laughing. I asked Aunt Clare if we could tag along because I also needed to start buying baby clothes and stuffs for my kids. Yes, I had my first ultrasound two months after settling in and we learned that I was carrying twins. Mom and dad were so happy that mom flew up just so she could be at my second ultrasound to see the babies herself. 

It's been 3 months now and a lot has happened since I got settled in. Sarah enrolled me for online courses at the college that she attending and I am doing great with a grade point average of 3.98. For three months Carter calls my phone nonstop and I got tired and threw away my phone and bought a new one and called mom and dad to let them know about the changes. 

I focused on my studies and my kids, hoping that when the time comes, everything will be alright. On my 4th ultrasound, we knew the genders of both babies. A boy and a girl. I felt happy and shed a few tears as I felt my tummy and looked at the pictures of my babies that the doctor had printed out for me. Mom and dad were ecstatic and made me promised that I will not give birth until they arrive. I was laughing so hard but I promised that I will wait.

" There, thats perfect." I said to Sarah as we finished the last touches to the kids side of the room. Aunt Clare had said that the babies can use the room next to mine but I declined and said that I'd rather have them next to me. So we settled on moving half of the furniture in my room to the upstairs living room leaving the right side side of my room bare and big enough for the twins cribs. We had gone shopping 6 months before and so all we needed to  do was just set everything up and add finishing touches to what we wanted. For eight months, Carter was on my mind, I would cry myself to sleep thinking of him and what our life would've been if he hadn't broken us up. Thinking back to his mom and what she said the day before we broke up I am still shocked.

*flashback to memory with  Carter's mom*

Stacy Blaine walked up to me while I was sitting outside the cafe 2 blocks away from our house. I stood up but she stopped me and sat down so I sat back down. "Let's get to the point Ms. Miller, as you know, I never approved of your relationship with my son and I never will". I started to say something, but she jumped in saying "You will end all ties with my son, he deserves someone of his class, someone sophisticated, someone who knows the franchise world and someone who values our lifestyle and will give our family name more than what you and your family can offer." Tears were streaming down my face as that last word came out of her mouth and the next thing she did shocked me to my core. She handed me an envelope and said "take that and stop seeing my son". And with that she stood up and left leaving me crying. I grabbed the envelope and walked home ignoring my phone that was ringing. When I got home, I opened the envelope and cried even more when I saw that it was a check of 1.5 million dollars.

*9 months pregnant-gonna pop any day soon* 

I stood in my room packing some clothes for me and the twins  because my due date was nearing and mom and dad are in their way with Aunt Clare. Sarah was watching t.v and I was packing the needed necessities for the hospital when I felt pain. I quickly zipped my bag and walked to the living room where Sarah was watching t.v. She looked up at me and turned around again to the t.v. She must've seen the pained look I had on my face because she was suddenly at my side with her phone by her ear screaming at Aunt Clare to hurry up.

Next thing I know, my water broke and the front door opened and mom rushed in with dad and ushered me out the door, and I yelled at Sarah to grab my bag from the room. As we rushed to the hospital, all I could think about was Carter. After 12 hours in labor, I gave birth to Faith Everly Miller and then Noah Zion Miller 55 seconds later.  As I pushed Noah out, I screamed out the name of the one person I had wanted to be there. Mom and dad hugged me and cried as I tell them that I love Carter and that I had wanted him to be here. They just hugged me and said it was okay but thankfully the babies are okay and so am I.
