That One Nerd (Completed)

It's Time

The next morning as I got ready I got a text from Grayson.
Grayson- morning gorgeous, my mom set up an appointment for you today at 10:00am, does that work for you?
Me- that's perfect! Tell her thank you🙂
Soon enough I was walking out the door to meet up with Grayson and his mom.

While sitting in the waiting room I felt embarrassed. Even though no body knew, I felt like everyone did. I held Grayson's hand tightly. Of course Sarah walked through the doors. Her mom went up to the desk and she took the only seat that was empty.. next to me. "Aww Rosie brought her boyfriend and his mom to her doctors appointment... how cute." I wanted so badly to shout why I was there in her face. "Rosalina Petrova?" A woman called. We all stood up and headed toward the door the woman had come out of.

I was lying on the chair as I waited for the doctor to come back. I was still holding Grayson's hand. When she came back she put a gel on my stomach and rubbed it around. She scanned my stomach. "First time?" "Yes," I said quickly. "You look pretty young," she had that disapproving smile the man in the store had. "Yeah.... sixteen." She didn't seem surprised. "Ok," she said once she was all set up. She was looking at a small screen that showed the baby. "Do you know the genders or is that why you're here?" Not realizing what she said I answered quickly. "This is my first appointment," I told her. "How did you not notice sooner? You're pretty far along." Now that she had pointed it out. When I looked at my stomach it looked huge. "So the genders are... a boy and a girl!! Congrats!!" "There's two!?" I squealed. "You didn't know?" She asked. "No, I told you this is my first appointment. Are you sure there's two?" "I'm positive," she said. She then turned the screen towards me, so I could see them. Grayson squeezed my hand indicating he was going to say something. "They're going to be beautiful... just like you, Rosie. Don't stress. We can handle anything together." I smiled at his wise words.

Once the appointment was over me and Grayson spent the whole car ride talking about names. It finally sunk in. This was my life now. We stopped at a store to start preparing for the arrival of our babies. We spent hours in that store just getting ready and excited for them to come. The whole time one thing was on my mind.. how would I tell my mom?

That night when I got home I found my mom waiting for me again. "Where were you all day?" She asked. I sat down on the couch next to her. "There's something I need to tell you, mom." She nodded and turned towards me. "I'm sorry. But.... I'm.... pregnant." "Really?" She asked. "This isn't a prank?" "No," I said with my head down. "Why weren't you careful?! You're better than this, Rosalina!" She lifted up my baggy t-shirt to see my stomach. "Wow, you kept this a secret for a while. How far are you?" "Mom I only found out a few days ago myself. I truly didn't mean to. I'm almost seven months." I said. "Is it Grayson's?" "Yes." I answered. "You know some people have their babies at seven months!? You know what.. just go to your room, I'll deal with this tomorrow." I stood up and turned my back towards my mom. I reached the bottom of the stairs before I remembered the last thing I needed to tell her. "Mom? It's twins." There was no answer.

Two months later...

I was huge! I was about nine months pregnant and I felt like I was going to burst! My mom was finally ok with being a grandma and my sister couldn't be more excited. Grayson and I finished out the school year before anyone could really notice. Word spread a little, but that trend didn't last long. Grayson and I had been spending all of our time together just in case the babies were ready to come early.

One late afternoon when Grayson and I were on a date we were surprised when we finally picked out the names.

I stirred my water with the straw trying to think of names. "What about Luke and Lena?" Grayson suggested. "Ohh what about Ollie for the boy!" I said. "What if we did Oliver and called him Ollie for short?" Grayson said. "I love it!" I kissed Grayson's cheek. "Oliver," I said letting it sink in. "I love it so much!!" I grabbed Grayson's hand after having an idea for the girl. I looked him in the eyes. "It's ok if you don't like it, but ever since I was little I've always wished my name was Oakley." I smiled. "Oakley?" he asked as I nodded. "It's beautiful, just like you." I laughed. "Oliver and Oakley!" We looked at each other with excitement in our eyes. We laughed together. "Promise me this is forever?" I asked. "I promise." He kissed me. "Love you!" I said to him. Before I could say anything else, he silenced me with another kiss.

That night I stayed up late because I was having contractions. I was scrolling through Instagram when I received a surprising text.
Ben- How've you been?
Me- I'm ok... wbu?
Ben- Are you actually pregnant?
Me- *sends a pic of belly* what do you think?
Ben- with Grayson?
Me- Yes
Ben- When is it due?
Me- They* are due in about two weeks
Ben- Twins?
Me- yup! A boy and girl
Ben- Names?
Me- no one knows yet, so promise not to tell?
Ben- I won't
Me- Oliver and Oakley
Ben- nice... I've missed you
Me- I'm sorry Ben I'm not doing this now. It's late and I've clearly made a choice. I really do need you to get out of my life if you are going to keep going after me like this. I chose Grayson.
Ben- I don't get it! You went after me for a while and then you went and got pregnant with Grayson after promising me another date!!
Me- that was wrong of me, but you need to let this go, Ben, it's not going to happen.
Ben- enjoy your life🤬
I rolled over trying not to think about what just happened. I never loved him as a parter but I did as a friend. Now I lost that too. I laid all the way flat on my back and felt water on the bed. I sat up quickly. I shook Grayson awake. "Grayson!! Grayson!!" I called. "What is it?" He said sleepily. I smiled as he sat up. "It's time."
