Ash-

I pushed open the doors of the hospital.

My confidence was up, and I tried to push Keiynan out of my head. I had to focus on Andi and the baby right now.

I walk into a waiting room, and am greeted with rage in blue eyes. "What are you doing here?" Andi spits at me.

I sit down next to her, making her move to the other chair besides her. "Well, I'm still the baby's father, right?" I say, trying to stay calm.

She just scoffs, and then leaves us in silence.

Eventually, a nurse comes out and calls Andi inside. I go in with her.

After setting up, we could see the image of the inside of Andi's womb in a screen. As the nurse ran the device in circles along Andi's stomach, the nurse let out a happy laugh. "Is the baby okay?" I ask quickly.

This only resulted in another laugh from her. "Babies, actually. You're having twins."

"Twins?!" Andi screams. I started laughing, clutching my stomach and placing my hand on Andi's shoulder. "What's so funny?!" She questions, angry.

I try to compose myself. "We-Well, it just seems like the world is fucking against me!" I say through my laughter. "I just broke up with you, and now we have to juggle not one, but two kids?! How are you not laughing?!"

The nurse, clearly feeling out of place, excused herself. This left me and angry Andi alone. She glared at me. "What?" I ask.

She scoffs, shaking her head. "I can not believe you. We could have had a happy family. With twins! And you ruined it all."

It was my turn to scoff. "I ruined it? I'm sorry and all, but I can't change my feelings."

"Well you clearly did! You used to love me!"

"Used to. I did. And, I am sorry if I hurt you. I hope we can still be friends." I truthfully respond.

"Friends?" She spits at me in fury, tears welling up in her eyes. "You want to be friends?!" Her voice was shaking. "I'm sorry, but I don't know if I can do that, Ash."

I sigh. "Alright then. That's your choice." I try to get off the hard topic, and lighten the mood. "So, have you thought about names?" I ask.

She shakes her head. "Not really. I also didn't think about names for twins!" Her mood lightened slightly as she lets out a small laugh.

I nod my head. "Yeah. I was wondering if you'd be okay if, if we have a boy, to name him Ajax, after, ya know..."

She nods her head. "Of course."

"Thanks." I reply.

"No problem," Andi replies, shaking her head.

At the end of the appointment, we part ways, little words spoken besides that conversation.

But with this, new questions formed in my mind. Would we want to get the genders before? What should we name them? Will they both be healthy? Will they both be happy?

With questions swarming my head, I walk into my dorm. "How'd the appointment go?" Nathan immediately asks me.

I jump onto the couch seat beside him. "Oh, it was okay. Very little news." I lie.

He sighs. "The baby okay?" He questions.

I nod my head. "Oh yeah, the babies are okay."

He abruptly turns to me. "Babies?!" he exclaims.

I nod. "Oh wait, did I not tell you that she's having twins?"

"No, ya kinda failed to mention that!"

"Oh. Well, Andi's having twins!"

He shoves my side. "You jerk! How could you not tell me?"

"Must've just slipped my mind." I say with a shrug.

Nathan glared at me, and I couldn't hold back my laughter. "Geez, bro! Lighten up!" I tell him through my laughter. "But anyways, yeah. We're having twins." I confirm.

His mouth agape, he wraps his arms around me. "Good for you, bro! Good for you." He puts away. "But what about the whole... break up thing?"

I sigh. "We'll figure it out."

Nathan hesitates. "Do you mind if I just ask..." He sighs, "... why you broke up with Andi?" He questions.

I pause, contemplating my options. It was far too early to tell him about me and Keiynan, especially with the fact that he probably has a girlfriend. "I just didn't feel the spark anymore." I explain, shrugging.

He nods, accepting the answer. But, knowing my curious friend, he'd want another answer later. A more thorough, and real answer.

Immediately after, I called Colton. "Colton here," he says, picking up.

"Hey, Colton, it's Ash." I say, trying to stay calm.

"What's up, Ash?" He asks.

I lose my cool. "Andi's having twins!" I exclaim.

He laughs. "Really? That's great!" Colton says. "And, how are you two holding up?"

I hesitate. I forgot to tell him. "Oh, um, actually... we kinda broke up," I confess.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I... I'm the one that broke up with her."

"Why?"

"I just didn't feel the spark anymore."

"So, you met someone else."

"No!" I lie.

"That was a statement, not a question." Colton chuckles on the other end. "Come on, I'm not that stupid, am I?"

I groan. "I wish you were. But, yes. There is someone else."

"Who?"

"I can't tell you. I'm sorry."

"I get it, I think. Based on the way you're saying this, I'm pretty sure Jax had the same sort of problem. Probably runs in the family."

I scoff. "Doubt it."

"Well, if you say so. But, I'll get it out of you."

"We'll see 'bout that."

"But, Ash, how much do you really know about me and Jax?"

Come to think of it, I didn't know much about them. "Nothing, really." I confess.

He laughs. "Exactly. Do you want to know?"

I think about it. It would be nice to know more about my deceased brother. "Sure." I answer.

"Do you know where I work. Or, rather, worked?"

"At a school."

"Do you know what school?"

"Not really."

"Do you know where Jax went to school?"

"No."

"I taught a choir class at West High School. The same school Jax attended."

My chin hit the ground. "Wait, what?! You're... you were... you were Jax's teacher?!"

Colton chuckles. "Yes. I was. That was why I had to quit. Something got out, and my career was at risk." He explains.

"You were Jax's teacher?" I repeat, still in awe.

"So, how similar is yours and Jax's situation?" I was silent. "I mean, it is a problem if schools keep hiring such handsome teachers," Colton compliments himself.

I sigh. "Wow. I-I gotta go."

"I'll talk to you later, Ash. Just know I'm here for you."

"Thanks, Colton."

"Bye Ash."

"Bye."
