Marriage Before Love

"Mom" Zane said holding his chest trying to calm his erratic breathing

"That's the title, don't wear it out" she said childishly.

"What are you doing here" he asked and we both gave him a stupefied look.

"It's my room" both mom and I said at the same time difference being, she said her instead of my.
"You know, sometimes I wonder who's the twin, you or me"

"What if your dad was passing by, what would you have told him" mom asked and Zane and I both shared a look

Mom came over and took a seat on the bed. We both turned to look at her in sinc and she smiled. Both of us confused with her action.

"Talya, Calya, come in, take a seat, get comfy. Close the door when you enter though. Don't want your dad or Kevin  to know what we're talking about"

"She's pregnant isn't she?" Talya asked as soon as the door closes. She has always been the smarter twin

"Yes I am" I replied "and I don't want dad knowing about it"

"Why not" Calya asked and all eyes turned to her

"I don't want to find out what he'd do just yet" I replied

"The least he'd do is marry you off to the father of the child" Talya said

"I know but what would he do before or after that?"

"Did the pregnancy get to your head and made you stupid?" Talya said

"Hey, that's my twin you talking to" Zane said backing me up

"I know that moron" Talya said rolling her eyes

"Don't call your brother a moron Talya" mom said looking at her sternly

"Dad doesn't deserve to be in the dark about this. You're one of his princesses." Calya said folding her arms.

"Dad won't do anything before or after that. Just tell him" Talya tried to convince me
