Unintentional

Double Whammy

Nyree

  "Aye." I opened one eye just to watch Jacey try and snatch the covers off me. I tugged at the amount I had left, and rolled over into a ball. "Leave me alone!" I had no idea what time it was, but it didn't matter.

  I'm tired as hell and in no shape to move. I thought we were safe now? What happened to relaxing, and sleeping in? "Get that ass up!" I yelped from him smacking me on the ass, reminding me that I was still naked.

  I snatched the covers back from him and wrapped myself up like a burrito. Jacey hopped on top of the bed and started bouncing up and down, making the whole frame shake. "Uggghhh!" I unwrapped myself and tipoed across the cold tile floor, locking myself inside the bathroom.

  Thankfully, I bathed last night so I didn't need to worry about a shower. I pinned up my hair to wash my face, and brush my teeth, and came back out wearing a bathrobe that was hanging from the door.

  Jacey had already left the room, leaving me to get dressed in peace. I put on a little makeup to hide the tired look in my eyes that I knew was evident. I threw on a grey spaghetti strapped shirt, some sweatpants, and slid my feet into a pair of socks before putting on my furry boots.

  It was mid November, and the days were getting colder and colder. As a kid, you don't too much mind this time of year. In a child's eyes, a bed of snow is like a giant playground.

  As an adult, snow is just a hassle. I pretty much have a love hate relationship with the cold weather; especially Texas winters. We never really got snow very often, but the cold air definitely made up for it.

  Worst case scenario, there was ice on the roads and some times a few inches of snow on a good year. I kept forgetting this place wasn't Texas. Durant wasn't that far into the state, but I know Oklahoma definitely gets snow.

  I just hope we don't stick around long enough to see it. I couldn't help but sigh standing in front of the full length mirror. Technically the bump was barely noticeable, but in my eyes it was all I saw.

  I started trying to do the math in my head and take a guess on how far along I could be. It may seem pretty far fetched, but I feel like I got pregnant even while I was taking the birth control pills.

  If that was the case, I'd have to come up with a whole different tactic on contraceptives. The thought of getting my tubes tied crossed my mind. I know Jacey will have a fit, but I've heard they could untie them as well so it's not like it would be permanent.

  I grabbed my purse and pulled out my little planner so I could add up the weeks. Going back to Jr's birthday in October, I had to be at least a month along; maybe more. But even still it didn't make sense in why I was getting big already.

  "Calm down 'Ree, every pregnancy is different." I said out loud to myself. Maybe I just needed to cut back on so much eating. It was gonna be hard enough to lose the weight after I drop this baby; I don't need any excess.

  I adjusted the waistband on my sweats, then grabbed my purse and a hoodie before finally leaving the room. I came across Jr and Nomar playing in the living room.

  The second 'Mari saw me, he did a little half walk with one leg on the ground as the other one scooted him across the floor. "Hey, mommy's baby!" I crooned stooping down to pick him up.
