Kids Having Kids? (Teen Pregnancy)

Ch 5: This is It

*3 months later*

I'm now five months along and I'm getting huge! Jake and I are really close now and he asked me out officially a few weeks ago. He has a job at a store a few blocks away and he works on cars as a side thing but makes a good amount of money from it.

Jake has been nagging me to get a gender test but I want it to be a surprise. One day I give in and he schedules an appointment for me.

"They said they have an opening tomorrow," Jake says smiling.

I'm laying on our bed trying to relax. "So it's definite then?" I ask him.

He lays down next to me and starts rubbing my belly. "Yeah, by this time tomorrow we'll know the gender of our baby."

I feel his lips on my cheek as I start to doze off.

I wake up screaming.

My throat burns.

I have sweat dripping off my forehead.

My legs feel sore.

This time I'm not alone. Jake wakes up and wraps his arms around me. He pulls me close to him and I cry. I don't know why I'm crying except that I'm scared. In four months we'll have a baby together. There's no way we're ready yet.

"It'll all be OK baby, I promise. I love you," Jake says.

I pull away from him a little and I look him in the eye. "You do?" I ask.

"Yes, with all my heart and nothing can change that."

"I love you too," I say and then I go back to how close I was to him.

A few hours later we're waiting for the doctor. Jake's holding my hand as I'm laying on the bed thing they told me to lay on.

"Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?" Jake asks me.

I think about it for a minute and then answer, "I think it's boy, how about you?"

"I think it's a girl but the gender doesn't matter to me because the mother of my baby is the most beautiful girl in the world," he says and kisses me on the forehead.

The doctor walks in and says, "Woah! How many months pregnant are you?"

"Five," I say slightly confused.

"We'll have to see about that," she says. She puts this warm stuff on my belly and before we know it we can see our baby. Our little baby girl. Jake already loves her, you can see it in his eyes.

"Something's not right," the doctor says. My heart drops. That's the last thing I want to hear.

I feel trapped. So many doctors are here. More warm stuff is on my belly and I can't tell what anyone is saying. Finally it's just me in the room. Jake is outside talking to the doctors. He comes back in and looks totally confused.

"Babe what the hell is going on?" I ask him.

"There's two," he says without making eye contact.

Then I realize what he means. "Twins?!"

He nods but looks upset. "Is there something wrong with me having twins?" I ask.

Jake sits next to me. "There's a boy and a girl. The girl is perfectly fine but something's wrong with the boy. Mac, they don't think he's gonna make it."

I totally lose it. The tears are pouring out of my eyes. Then I suddenly stop. "No," I say.

Jake looks at me more confused than ever and says, "no what?"

"Both of our babies are going to be fine. They're both going to be healthy and we're gonna be great parents even though we're young. They'll both be successful in life and prove everyone wrong," I say strongly.

"The boy is practically dead!" Jake practically screams. "Our little boy is going to be dead before he's born and there's nothing we can do."

I stand up and point to my belly saying, "There are two babies in there. Our little girl and our little boy. They're both going to be fine because they have a great dad that would do anything for them. Their dad took me in when I had nowhere else to go. I love their dad and I love them. Babe, we'll be fine and they'll be fine. Stop worrying."

Jake gets up and envelopes me in a hug. We both know we'll be fine.

Three months pass and I'm eight months pregnant. Both babies are still alive but I know something's not right. Jake knows it too. He takes one look at me and says, "get in the car I'll get your bag."

He rushes me to the hospital where they rush me into a room. There are so many doctors and nurses in here. Something's definitely not right. They start telling me to push but I still have a month left. Apparently these babies don't want to wait.

The first baby comes out. "It's a girl!" someone announces. She's placed in Jake's arms.

The second baby comes out. "It was a boy," the same person says. He's placed in my arms. He's tiny and not breathing. A tear rolls off my face on falls onto his tiny body. Next thing I know, there's total darkness. I hear some voices but I can't tell what they're saying.

I wake up and Jake's holding my hand. My eyes are barely open. "Babe?" I ask hoping he heard me.

"Oh my god, you're awake," he says relieved.

"How long have I been out?"

"Three days."

"Our baby boy?"

"He's a fighter, just like you. Mac, he's getting stronger. It might be possible to bring him home tomorrow."

My eyes open more and I smile a little. "Our baby girl?" I ask.

Jake smiles and says, "perfectly healthy. She's a little small but one of the doctors said she's find."

I try to open my eyes more but I roll over to face him more instead.

Jake then says, "They need names. I didn't want to name them without you."

"Carlie and Jake Jr.," I suggest.

"You would want to name his after me?" Jake asks.

I smile and say, "Of course. You fought to get to keep him and he fought for his life. Obviously you both fight for important things. Plus we could call him JJ and I think that's a cool name."

The next day I'm able to walk so we bring home the babies. I have a lot to catch up with for school but it's not too bad since its an online school aimed at teen parents.

Carlie is a bubbly baby. She always babbles her baby talk. Her eyes are the same as her dad's but she has my hair.

JJ has my eyes but his dad's hair. He doesn't make nearly as much noise as Carlie but he smiles all the time.

Jake and I love both of our kids. It's a shame that they might never meet their grandparents but they still have both of us. I never thought a guy could go from being a random stranger on the street to the father of my babies and the love of my life in such a short time.
