I was sitting in the dull white waiting room that belonged to the doctors and I was waiting for my results. My older twin brother Roman was sitting next to me and I was freaking out. My palms were sweaty and my heart was pounding in my ears. 

"Calm down" I heard Roman whisper.

I glanced up at him and sighed softly.

"I can't help it. I'm scared" I mumbled.

Roman opened his mouth to say something but someone calling out my name cut him of and Roman stood up.

"Come on" Roman said holding out one of his hands.

I took Romans hand and he pulled me up. We walked over to the brown hair nurse that called my name and she spun around. She walked down the hallway and we followed her. The nurse lead us to a room and stopped.

"Take a seat and the doctor will be with you soon" the nurse informed us.

Roman and I walked into the room. The room had a brown cluttered desk in the middle of the room, a black comfortable chair was behind the desk, two grey chairs were in front of the desk, a metal document cabinets were along the wall on the right side of the room and a bed was against the wall on the left side of the room. Roman and I walked to the seats. We sat down and waited for the doctor. I lean't back in my seat and closed my eyes to calm myself down. I heard footsteps and my eyes snapped opened. I saw a brown hair doctor with a stethoscope around his neck walking around the desk and he sat down.

"I'm Dr. Bradforth" the doctor said.

"Just tell us the results" Roman said bluntly.

Dr. Bradforth cleared his throat and picked up a file. He scanned through the file and looked up at us.

"Your pregnant" Dr. Bradforth told us.

My breath hitched and my mind went blank. Roman stood up and pulled me up. We walked out of the room and walked up the hallway. We walked to the exit and stepped outside. We walled to Roman's car that was parked out front and Roman helped me into the car. Roman closed the door as I put my seat belt on and walked around the car to the driver's side. He got in the car and closed the door. He put his seat belt on and started the car. He pulled out of the parking spot and drove down the main road.

"How am I going to tell mum?" I asked scared and my eyes begun to get watery.

"I can tell her" Roman said.

"Yes please" I said as a few tears ran down my face.

Roman turn't the corner and drove down the road. Trees whizzed past as he drove than he came to a stop in front of steps that lead to a house that I call my second home.

"Go tell him" Roman told me.

I undid my seat belt and opened the door. I got out of the car and closed the door. I headed down the steps and wiped my face on the sleeve of the jumper that I was wearing. I reached the bottom and walked around to the front door. I knocked on the door and waited. I heard footsteps and the door opened. I saw Lynda come into my view.

"Is Peter in?" I asked.

"Yeah his in the hammock" Lynda replied.

"Ok thanks" I said half smiling.

"You ok dear?" Lynda asked concerned.

"Yep" I lied.

Lynda looked at me like she didn't believe a word I said but she just spun around and walked further inside. I spun around and walked over to the hammock. Once I got closer I noticed that Peter was a sleep and I smiled at how peaceful he looked. It made me feel guilty that I had to disturb him.

"Peter" I whispered poking him and instead of getting an answer Peter grabbed my hand.

Peter pulled me towards him and I let out a yelp. He wrapped his arms around my waist and started laughing. It vibrated through his chest.

"It's not funny" i mumbled slapping his chest.

"Yeah it was" Peter said calming down.

I nuzzled into Peter's chest and his arms tightened around me.

"I have to tell you something" I said suddenly scared.

"What is it?" Peter asked worried as he picked up on my sudden change.

"I'm pregnant" I replied in a whisper.

Peter rolled me over so I was laying next to him and his hand went straight to my stomach.

"I'm gonna be a dad?" Peter asked grinning from ear to ear.

I nodded and glanced up at him. Peter lean't down and connected our lips. Peter pulled away and stared at me.

"Now we have something to look forward to" Peter informed me.

"That we do" I said smiling.

"Let's tell Lynda" Peter said getting up but I pulled him back down.

"Let's just lay here for a while please" I mumbled.

Peter kissed my forehead and rubbed my flat but soon to be swollen stomach. We enjoyed this moment before we told everyone and had them on our backs
