chapter twenty two

Alesha

Amanda and I had made love twice more after we had made love for the first time in my bed after one of our dates. We never did more than one round and I finally announced that I had a girlfriend to the other parents of the students in my class. A couple of parents did not take the news that well and requested that their children be pulled out of my class.

Not that many members of staff knew my sexuality until then when I announced that Amanda and I had been dating for almost five months. The headmaster already knew as I had told him about my sexuality when I had been hired as I hoped it would not be a problem in the future. I was a week away from being five months pregnant.

I was so happy about being almost halfway done with my pregnancy and Amanda couldn't stop touching my stomach. It was impossible to hide as my students were asking why my tummy was getting bigger every week so I told them that I was going to be expecting two babies in May so I wouldn't be teaching them for the rest of the school year after I was due to give birth.

My maternity leave was going to start on my due date if I went late or if labour started early, it would start the next day if it was a school day and my class would be told by the permanent substitute that was going to be taking my class over close to the end of the school year.

All of the students in the school had a chorus concert and I usually attended them because of my students. I still hadn't told Amanda that our twins were Piers' children and he was the father. I was scared to tell her but I had a panic attack when I saw him at the concert.

Amanda confronted him about leaving her pregnant for a second time and almost slapped him. He saw me and backed away. That was when Amanda had put two and two together and figured out he had been one of the men who raped me. I had to restrain Amanda from slapping her ex because he had gotten me pregnant and her pregnant twice, two of the pregnancies from the same type of situation.

Amanda calmed me down and brought me out of the auditorium so I could breathe. I still got panic attacks but they were lessening. It meant my mind was healing from what I had gone through and I was starting to get through it. She remarked, jokingly, that four of our five children all had the same father and that was good.

That made me laugh hard and wet myself. I had been doing that more because of my pregnancy. My bladder had seemed to have shrunk in size with two children and I was going to the bathroom more frequently. It made Amanda laugh whenever we were in the middle of cuddling and I had to get up to go to the bathroom or I would have to run to the bathroom while doing something.

We were laying in bed after the concert, Amanda's fingers tracing patterns on my bare baby bump and trying to rub stretch mark lotion into my stomach. We were trying to predict what genders the babies were going to be when they were due to come out.

"They're going to both be boys. My pregnancy with Azura was so easy and a lot of pregnancies of baby girls are pretty easy from what I've heard," I argued.

"I'm thinking they're both going to be boys. Your face is fuller and your hips have gotten a little wider. I was that way with Theo when I was pregnant with him," Amanda countered. She turned away as I smacked her arse playfully.

"Are you saying I'm getting fat now?" I replied in mock horror. I knew I was gaining more weight but I wasn't looking heavier except in my hips. Amanda was right about that but it looked like I had stuffed a cantaloupe under my shirt everyday. I had been round like that when I had been pregnant with Azura.

"You're not getting fat, babe. I didn't mean it like that. Your face shape's changed since you've gotten pregnant," Amanda reassured. "And I like the fact your hips are a little bigger because it means I have even more of you to cuddle."

I rolled my eyes and I got up to shut off the light so we could go to sleep as it was nearing midnight already. Amanda watched me as I returned back to bed and her hands went back to my stomach as I slid in, pulling the covers over us.

"You're not going to sleep with a shirt on?" Amanda asked, her hands going up to my breasts and cupped them lightly, her hands poised to move at any second if I didn't want them there.

"Yes but if you're going to be copping a feel of my breasts all night, I'll put on a shirt, I responded, grinning. I moved Amanda's hands back down to my stomach and I placed one of my hands over hers. "The babies are going to start moving next week."

"I know. I want to feel them kicking already," Amanda replied. She nuzzled her head into the crook of my neck and shoulder so I had to move so we could cuddle more comfortably. I preferred to sleep on my side if Amanda and I were cuddling as I would put my head on her body typically but that had changed with my growing bump.

Amanda rubbed my stomach gently and she rested her head on my shoulder.

"The babies will be able to hear us talking soon. I've already been humming and talking to them even though they can't hear me yet," I said softly.

"I know. I've been hearing you talking to them. We're going to need to start finding baby names," Amanda replied.

"We can do that in the morning. We are not going to argue about that right now," I finalized and made Amanda laugh.
