Saving Her

Chapter twelve ~ Can't sleep without you

Chapter twelve

I didn’t come back until the next morning, having spent the night on the beach watching the waves. When I walked into the hotel room Grayson was sleeping next to Adrian with just enough room for me to cuddle between them, so I squeezed in. Both of the boys put their arms around me, and their hands on my stomach. I was soon fast asleep.

“Wakey wakey sunshine.” Someone whispered. I sneezed on whoever was above me, and peed a little. With a curse, I ran to the bathroom to empty my full bladder before changing into my bathing suit again and put a pair of black shorts on. I brushed my hair and braided it before putting a little make up on and going back into the room.

Grayson was laughing at Josh who was wiping snot off his face.

“I’m sorry Ara. I was just angry at the two of you for being so reckless, and I’m scared of losing you.” Josh muttered.

“You wont lose me.” I said as we hugged.

“Dad knows. So does Aunt Kate and the hubby.” Josh whispered.

“How do they know?” I asked.

“I guess Aunt Kate was gathering your dirty laundry and she found some pamphlets in your room. She told dad. They’re pretty mad, but it’ll die down before we get home.” Josh explained.

“I guess this is a good time to tell you my dad called, he knows too. My nephew was in my room looking for his PSP when he saw the pictures. He took them to my mom and now she knows. It seems everyone knows now.” Grayson muttered.

“Not everyone.. We have to tell Eve and Ariel, and my mom doesn’t know.” I muttered.

“It’ll be okay love.” Grayson said.

The rest of the week was spent on the beach, shopping and sight seeing. Grayson and I bought the twins’ first outfit. The cute little black onesie’s said, ‘yes, I am the cutest thing you’ve ever seen…’

We had fallen in love with the outfits the minute we saw them and I just had to buy them. On our way back to the hotel, Ariel and Eve caught sight of the bag and asked what we bought. When they saw the binkies and onesie’s they freaked. Not in a bad way though, they screamed excitedly.

We got home late on the next Friday night. Grayson and I stayed at his house, and slept in the next day. I woke an hour before my appointment, so I got up to get dressed. I showered and curled my hair, then put on my makeup and got dressed in a pair of gray shorts and a black tank top layered on top of a white one. Grayson woke up to get dressed when I went downstairs. I found his mom in the kitchen. She was cooking something delicious smelling.

“I figured you’d be hungry. Twins aren’t easy to carry or feed.” She said with a smile. “You’re up pretty early for a weekend.”

“Yeah, I have a doctors appointment today. I’m going to do that 4d ultrasound thing.” I explained as she set a lot of food down in front of me. “Would you like to come with? Dr. Fuller is my doctor.”

“I’d love to!” She squealed. Before I knew it she was running upstairs to get dressed.

Once her and Grayson were back down stairs we all hopped into my truck and I drove us to the doctors. My dad was waiting for us in the waiting room with Adrian.

I didn’t take long after checking in to be taken back, and Grayson’s dad looked excited.

I did the same thing as before, lay on my back and lift my shirt up. More cold jelly speared my stomach and before I knew it I could see a bronze copy of one of my babies.

“It’s too soon to be certain, but it look’s like baby A is a boy. Baby B isn’t giving me a good view. That’s okay though because we can’t be certain about gender until around eighteen weeks.” Dr. Fuller said. He snapped pictures of them and printed them off before handing them to me. I dispersed the pictures amongst everyone and allowed Grayson to pay the bill.

“They’re so beautiful!” Dad gushed.

“Look at their little hands!” Adrian yelled. I laughed at him and we went our separate ways.

Don’t get me wrong, my dad screamed at me when I stopped at home last night. He really laid into me. However, when I told him the same thing I told Josh he softened, and ended up hugging me. Aunt Kate on the other hand is still mad at me. Beyond mad actually, she refused to look at me.

Grayson’s mom also yelled at us, but then again she knew how tough it was to be a teen mom.

On the way home after the doctor’s appointment Grayson stopped at Walgreens to get some pictures he had printed. I stopped at my house to pick up Ellie who was beyond excited to see me and then we went back to Grayson’s where we spent the day cuddled together, watching movies and discussing the babies. At one point Ellie had snuggled against my belly and gave me lazy licks. Grayson snapped a picture of it. He was always taking pictures these days. As I was falling asleep Grayson lifted my shirt up, and kissed my stomach.

At school on Monday I got to wear shorts that actually fit, and I decided to wear a regular band t-shirt. I didn’t really look pregnant in the loose shirt.

Grayson’s hands found there way to my stomach once again and I smiled. “I want to be able to see your baby bump when I look at you.” He complained.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because I love knowing that you’re having my children. I know it’s a little soon, but I still love it.” He explained. I sighed before changing into a tighter white shirt that barely fit my breasts. “That’s better. Now, about these beautiful breasts…” He whispered. I allowed him to kiss my neck just as the alarm went off.

“Time for school.” I complained.

The day breezed by. Lunch came and went with the usual. Me scarfing down tons of food and then taking my medicine after I peed. Grayson followed me everywhere, one of his hands always around my waist and touching my stomach.

In Ms. Scones class I painted a landscape painting and gave it to Evelyn.

“Can you come over today?” Grayson asked at my car.

“I don’t think so. I promised Adrian I’d watch a few movies with him.” I said.

“Damn. I’ll be at your house tonight okay?”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t think I can sleep without you.” Grayson whispered before he kissed me and ran to Evelyn and Ariel.

Adrian and I watched the lion king, and the little mermaid before he left. As he shut the door behind him I was getting ice cream from the freezer. I eventually gave up trying to scoop it out into a bowl and just took the whole carton to my room.

I was half way through the tub when Grayson walked in. He laughed at me as he stripped down to his boxers and climbed under the covers. His body curled around mine and warmed me up. I put my ice cream on the night stand before turning to kiss him.
