TFIL // Colby Brock

Babies?

Just an hour later, Colby decided to wake up. He leaned his back on the headboard, still off in coo coo land.

"Hi," I smiled. He jumped as he realised I was sitting right next to him.

"Hi," he finally became conscious and blinked a few times.

"You OK?"

"Yes and no" I tilted my head and frowned.
"I just had a dream, that's all"

"What was it about?" he made eye contact.

"You. There were these two girls in this room, right, and one was hugging the other who was crying" Oh my god, "then I saw you. You were standing at the door but couldn't see me for some reason. Then this little boy walked up and asked what the screaming was about or something like that" I composed myself as best I could.

"That's a very interesting dream. Well, what did I look like?"

"Similar to now but maybe a little older, 25? Something like that? The two girls looked about 5 and the boy was 3? I think?" I hoped he wouldn't put any pieces together.

"Maybe your mind is just playing tricks on you because of our conversation last night"

"Yeah that's what I was thinking. Anyway, are you off to Kayla's?"

"When I'm ready, yes. I have to shower yet, then do my hair"

"You're such a girl" he said in a girly voice.

"Well," I was going to continue but felt a miniscule movement in my stomach. That's not possible, I thought, I still have a while before I should feel anything. Heck, I still have a while before I should SEE any kind of change in my stomach. Colby must have seen the frown.

"What's wrong?" he asked, worried and slightly panicked.

"What? Oh! Nothing. Sorry, I just thought I should probably start getting ready to go and see Kayla, make sure she's OK" I got up quickly, going to the bathroom for my shower as fast as I could - taking some clothes with me.

As I came back out, I felt another little movement. It was just like a small head turn or something tiny like that but I felt it. I quickly changed and put my hair into a pony tail. Then I walked into Colby's bedroom and sat beside him.

"Colbs, I gotta go to Kayla's"

"OK, see you later" he smiled and pecked my lips, making me smile back. Instead of walking to my car, though, I walked to Corey and Devyn's room, knocking loudly.

"Yeah?" Corey called.

"Can I come in?" there was the sound of shuffling then a muffled yes. As I walked in I saw Corey half way through pulling on a shirt. "Mind if I talk to Devyn alone? It's important" I glanced at Devyn's face, giving her a look she understood.

"Yeah, course. Hope everything's OK" he walked out and I only started talking when I heard the door close. I rushed over to her and spoke in a hushed tone.

"I feel my baby moving" I whispered. Her mouth opened wide. "I know it's not possible but they're little movements that I can feel every now and then"

"You're not even showing yet!"

"I know. I don't understand"

"Why don't you go to a doctor?"

"Oh right, I guess I should to that" I looked down at my lap. "I'll use Kayla as an excuse, say I needed to stay for longer"

"Good plan"

"Thanks Devyn" I have her a hug and walked out, but not before I heard her mumble:
"I didn't do anything" when I closed the door behind me, I saw Corey sitting on a chair on the landing, staring over the railing.
"Sorry Corey, you can go back in now," I smiled and he nodded as I rushed down the stairs and out the door. I called the Hospital near me and asked for an appointment, saying I was pregnant and was unsure of what was happening. They said they'd fit me in later in the day so I said thanks and hung up, right as I was entering Kayla's place.

The two were sat together on the couch, sleeping. Brennen had an arm around her and she was snuggled up to him. I smiled and quietly made some food, placing it on the small table in front of them and writing a note saying:
I've made you some food, you two look cute together. If you need anything, even if it's some food in the middle of the night, just let me know xx
-Chloe

I walked back out and went straight to the hospital. They said as it was only a check up, they could fit me in right now so I thanked the lady and walked to the room she told me. The doctor that had treated me before was sat going through some files.

"Oh! Ms, Rose. How are you, please lie down here" he gestured to the table bed thing that I didn't know the name of. "So what is puzzling you?"

"Well from my calculations, I believe I am three and a bit weeks pregnant and I can feel the baby moving, very little but it's definitely there" he immediately frowned, which made me start to worry.

"Right, this doesn't happen very often but this symptom usually occurs when a mother's baby is growing at a fast rate or when there is more than one baby" I gulped as he started to set up a machine.

"How possible is it for me to have two babies? Or more?"

"Quite possible, actually" I took a breath.

A few minutes later he was looking at a screen. "Hmm, it appears there are two embryos. Ms, Rose, you're pregnant with twins" my mouth dropped open as he showed me the screen.

"Twins?"

"Yes. This means you'll be showing a lot sooner since there are two babies in there. I suggest you come to us at twelve weeks. By then you should be showing AND we'll get a better look at the babies. At week 24, we'll check in and hopefully we'll be able to see the sexes of the babies" the doctor smiled at me. "Then finally we'll need to check in at the 35th week because the average twin pregnancy lasts this long. Please, stay out of trouble and be safe"

"OK, thank you so much" I climbed off the table and got my phone, sending a group text to Devyn, Kat, Amanda, and Sam - since he knew anyway. I told them to meet me at my apartment as I drove there.

Three knocks on the door made me jump. "Come in" I called. The four people shut the door behind them and sat on the couch.

"What's wrong?" Devyn asked as they watched me pace.

"One, I told Sam about my baby" I said so that the girls wouldn't be too shocked by what I was gonna say in front of him "and two, it's not baby... it's babies. I'm pregnant with twins" their jaws dropped as I kept pacing. "I can find out the gender at twenty four weeks but until then, I have a check up at twelve weeks and I'm three weeks and a bit pregnant. I worked out the math and it means that this bab... these babies were conceived ON my actual birthday"

"Awe, that's a nice present...s from Colby!" Devyn announced, smiling. I laughed and she gave me a hug to calm me down.

"You guys and the doctor are the only ones who know about this so keep it shush, OK?" they all nodded and gave me individual hugs. I suddenly felt the babies moving, my hand instinctually went to my stomach. They all looked alarmed until I smiled. "They're moving"

"Already?" Sam asked, clearly confused.

"Yeah, basically I'll be able to feel every little movement even when they're just little embryos." Devyn smiled at me as did Kat.

"Something tells me you're going to be a brilliant mother, Chloe" Kat stood and put a hand on my stomach. "And you guys are going to gave a wonderful life with two of my best friends" she whispered as she leaned down. Sam came up behind her and put a hand on her hip. I smiled at them, they were so cute.

I took some deep breaths. This was a roller-coaster I wasn't completely ready for.
