Tiana POV

"How Are You Feeling?" Keisha Asks. I Shrug And Look Ahead While Waiting To Be Seen By The Doctor. "I Don't Know What To Feel Like" I Simply Shrug. She Rubs My Back And Softly Smile. "It'll Be Okay" She Assured Me. I Sigh And Watch Her Pose To Take A Picture.

Keisha Was The Only And Sibling And Friend I Have, Casey Is Around But She's Always Working Or With Her Boyfriend So I Feel Like I'm A Last Option To Her. I Feel The Same Way When It Comes To Stormy And My Brothers Plus They Always Busy And Never Even Have Time For Me.

"Tiana Anderson?" I Stand Up And Look At Keisha. She Smile For Reassurance. "Go It'll Be Okay" I Nod Slowly And Walk To The Nurse And Follow Her Into A Room. She Smiles And Check My Blood Pressure, Ears, Mouth Then My Heart And Write Everything Down. "Here's A Cup And The Bathroom Is Right Outside This Room"She Tells Me And Walk Out. I Hesitate Then Walk Out And Head To The Bathroom.

I Patiently Waited For The Doctor And Played On My Phone, The Door Opened And A Middle Aged Black Woman Steps In With A Folder. "Hello Tiana I'm Doctor Trudy I'm A OB/GYN, I Looked At Your Results And You Are Pregnant In Fact I Have Questions For You" She Sat Down And Look At Me. "Sweetie Why Did You Need A Test Done When Your Two Months Pregnant?" I Sigh And Look At My Hands. "I Was Really Hoping I Wasn't For Good Reasons So I Kept Telling Myself I'm Not I'm Just Sick" I Tell Her. She Nods And Look At My Stomach.

"Second Question, How Old Are You?" I Look Down Swallowing. "Sixteen"I Answer In A Mumble. "Don't Be Ashamed. Does Your Parents Know??" I Quickly Shake My Head No. "See The Thing Is My Parents Are Difficult... Were Only Here Cause A Lady That Knew My Oldest Sister Had Called Us And We Been Here For A While" I Explain. "How Many Siblings You Have?" "I Have Three Sisters And Two Brothers" She Nods And Grab A Machine. "Your The Youngest?" I Nod And Jump As She Apply Cold Blue Gel. "Sorry Sweetie So Answer Me This, Do Your Siblings Know?" I Quickly Shake My Head Again.

"Only My Sister Keisha She's In The Waiting Room. My Brother Novelty Would Probably Be Disappointed In Me, My Other Brother Brandon Might Be Mad And My Sister Casey Would Be Too, I Don't Know What Stormy Would Do Probably Be Happy Or Mad She's Like Novelty Twin So I Don't Know... They All Could Feel Different And It's Not Even My Fault" I Mumble The Last Part To Myself But She Caught It. "What Do You Mean Not Your Fault?"I Look At My Feet And Stay Quiet. "Tiana Where's The Father Of This Unborn?" I Sigh And Look At Her. "He's Dead Now, His Name Was Elijah" She Nods And Press The Wand Into My Stomach And Focus On The Screen. "There He Or She Goes Oh My.. I See Two Dots, Congratulations It's Twins!" I Swallow The Lump And Let My Eyes Fill Up With Tears, I'm Happy But I'm Terrified Because Now I Have Two Lives To Protect Instead Of One.

I Wipe My Eyes And Sniff. "Can I Get A Picture?"She Smiles And Start Processing It. I Don't Know How This Gone Play With My Family But I Know Everyone Not Going To Open Up With Huge Arms And Be Happy, I'm So Afraid.

After Getting My Prenatal Vitamins And Some Food We Headed Back Home. We Entered The House And Keisha And I Sit Down.

"Let Me See It Now" She Smiles Big, She Been Wanting To See The Ultrasound Picture Since I Left The Clinic. I Smile Small And Hand It To Her. She Gasps And Look At Me. "Oh My Gosh Tiana! Your Having Twi-" Brandon Walks In And Keisha Stops Her Sentence And Quickly Hide The Ultrasound. He Bites Into A Banana And Look At Us. "Having What?" He Asks. I Swallow And Shake My Head. "Nothing I'm Having Bad Cramps" I Lie. He Make A Face And Walk Away.  I Wait For A Minute Until He's Upstairs And Look At Keisha. "That Was Close"I Sigh And Sit Back.
