I continue to hope that Mom and Dad would respond to the text. I know that they resent me, but surely they carry an ounce of love towards their future grandchildren...right?
My hope is halfway met. They read the text; I know that because it marks read below the texts. But they don't respond.
Jerks.
I leave the guest room - which I now call my bedroom - and go into the kitchen to fix myself lunch.
"Hey, Del," I greet when I see Del sitting at the table, drinking hot cocoa.
"Hey, what's the sex of the baby?" She asks straight away.
"Oh, I'm having twins, and they're a boy and a girl," I say ever so casually.
Delilah gapes. "Oh. My. God! Wow, Allison! You sure hit a home run, eh?"
I giggle. Then I turn serious. "Yeah. Um, I sent a picture of the ultrasound to Daniel and Mom and Dad, and only Daniel responded..."
"Oh, what did he say?"
I quote the exact words Daniel has texted me. Delilah's eyebrows arch, her teeth clenches, and her face turns fuming red. "That scumbag!"
"I know right?!" I exclaim, sitting across from her with a bowl of Ramen noodles.
"The twins deserve a way better father than Daniel the dickhead," Delilah comments, shaking her head in anger.
I sigh. "I totally agree. I hate that I'm a single mother."
"I'm sorry, hon."
"It's okay, I guess. I just wish that I never slept with him. I mean, I love my babies and everything, but why did he out of all guys have to be the dad?" I make a sour facial expression.
Delilah sighs. "Well, it's too late to change that. What's done is done."
Okay, that quote 'What's done is done' is starting to become overused...but I like that quote for some reason.
What's done is done...
"So," Delilah says, changing the subject. "What are you gonna name them?"
"Hmm...I don't know," I reply sheepishly.
"Oh, seriously, Al?!" Delilah cries in dismay.
"I'm only nineteen weeks along, you know," I point out. "I have plenty of time left to choose names."
"Let's just come up with a few names, please?!" Delilah begs, giving me the puppy dog look on her face.
"Fine," I retort, smiling in amusement.
By the time we finish our lunches, we come up with the following names:
Madison and Mason
Emily and Ethan
Taylor and Tyler
Olivia and Owen
Zoey and Zachary
Brianna and Brian
Julia and James
Sophia and Samuel
Mia and Eli
Peyton and Preston
I decide I like Mia and Eli or Zoey and Zachary the best, but I'm not too sure yet.
