16 & pregnant

leave!

"do you know what their names will be?" asked the nurse in red hair
"which one came out first?" I asked
"the one your holding in your arms"
"Sapphire, i'll name this little girl in my lap Emerald."
"ah, beautiful names. What made you pick them?"
"gemstones are rare items, they can be symbols for Birth, peace, love, hope, and faith.
Emeralds And Sapphires are harder to find than any other."
the nurse smiled at me,
"oh you have a visitor want me to let him in?"
"yeah."
him?! Emily must have went to bed but could it be my dad?
my brother?
my grandpa?
just then I saw him walk in with balloons.
"Elijah?!"
"That's my name!"
I giggled at what he said but turned serious again
"did you come to meet the children you abandoned and left?!"
"i'm sorry, I haven't been with anyone else since because I have a kid and I don't even know the gender."
"I still love you Elijah, and nothing can change that but you need to prove to me that your capable being a dad that means moving in with me and Emily, soon we can have an apartment just the four of us."
"I understand" Elijah nodded "what are their name's?"
"Sapphire and Emerald."
"nice." he walked towards the hospital bed, pulled up a chair and sat down next to me.
"you can hold Sapphire i've hold her long enough I need to show Emerald some love to."
I handed Sapphire to him and picked up Emerald from my lap and into my arms.
He put Sapphire back into my lap and stared at them wrapped in a blanket wide awake on the other hand her twin was tired and went to sleep.
I put my legs criss cross and put my pillow on my feet and layes Sapphire's and Emerald's head down onto it.
soon enough they were next to each other sleeping soundly.
it was silent for a couple minutes until someone walked inside
"mom, dad?!"
"we got a call." said my mom
"well, meet your grand children."
"children?!" she exclaimed
"yeah you wouldn't answer my calls."
"oh dear," she said to my dad "twins!"
"what's the gender?" said my dad
"girls."
"names?"
"Sapphire and Emerald."
"beautiful." exclaimed my mom
"hey, even though you disowned me you can still visit them."
my dad stared at me and my kids back and forth with all seriousness
"I don't want to see those two little disappointments." he said
"What in the bloody hell did you just call my kids?"
"disappointments."
"you may be my dad but I will not hesitate to hurt you, do not ever disrespect my children or there will be major consequences, I have no idea who you think you are but maybe a slap across the face will help."
"do it, your children are just like you. Mistakes"
I put the twins in the crib that was next to my hospital bed and got up I walked up to my dad and slapped him so hard that you saw a mark on his face
"Disrespect my kids again and it will be much harder." I said clearly.
Everyone started laughing, even my dad
"huh?"
"hunny, it was a test to see how far you would go for your kids, everyone in our family must go through it. the whole disown thing was apart of it." exclaimed mom
"now that's just dumb, sorry dad."
I walked back to my hospital bed
"I think i'm getting sleepy."
"alright i'll stay awake and you can sleep, we can take turns."
"goodbye hunny." said my dad
I drifted off to sleep
It took three seconds for me to sleep
I must have been exhausted.
