"...It's been four months, eight days, three hours and two minutes since he died. My eyes go orange when I'm angry or hungry. Still no movements from the babies. They're growing. I glow sometimes. Literally. My whole belly gets bright and I can see them inside, huddled together like it's cold outside.
"I understand you have nightmares."
I look up at my counselor. "Yes. Every night."
She took notes.
"I know it's not good for them but I've tried everything legal and won't go past the limit expected. I'm. Over him. But I still dream about it."
"No one's found any record of Pennywise. Have you taken anyone else as a possible father to them? What about Jaime?"
"No. I've been dating him a week and we haven't done anything before hand. I was only sexually active with Penny." I bit my nails. The counselor took more notes. She looked at my belly.
"Any names? For the babies?"
"Not yet. I haven't had time to look. School and all." My stomach rumbled. Not now. I kept my head down. "Do you have any snacks? I'm hungry."
She nodded pulling a large package of goldfish out. I watched the box as she passed it over. I snatched it and hungrily ate them. She stared at my eyes. I could smell it, the fear. She was afraid of me. I grinned.
"I'm not going to eat you..." I chuckled and dropped the smiled. I could, my teeth would hurt if someone made me angry while I was hungry. I couldn't go anywhere hungry or I'd get looks from people and unconsciously sniff them. If I craved meat my dad would have to go buy a whole steak and not cook it so I could eat it. I giggled.
"Klea?"
I look up. "Yes?"
"Our time is up. I'll walk you out." She took me back to the lobby, Jaime and my Dad waiting for me.
"Thank you, Nancy." My Dad said, taking my arm.
"No problem, Will."
I walked back to the car, Jaime's arm around my shoulder. He kissed my cheek. 'I'll see you tonight.". He walked to his own car and drove off. I sat in front waiting for my Dad to start ours.
"Can we please go."
"Sorry."
I had Nicki over, her helping me get ready for Prom as I helped her. "Dude, Jaime will love it! Do you think Dolly will like my dress?"
"Dalton wants what's underneath if you ask me." She slipped her dress on as I looked in the mirror.

My bump was almost hidden. At least until I turned to the side.
"Useless. It just reminds me that I'm pregnant." I sigh an slip my flats on. My phone dinged. A text from Jaime.
