Beca POV

"So our backyard?" Jesse asked me, raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah, is that okay or do you think something more formal?" I asked.

"Uh, maybe something like the beach or a church. Our backyard is crap, no offence."

"The beach sounds better, I really hate churches."

"Cool."

"The beach it is then."

"Awesome!"

I drove home and found a sobbing Stacie in my driveway.

"Stacie what's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"I stuffed it all up."

"What? How?"

"D-Donald came to see me while I was teaching my first class, and w-we had, uh, we had sex."

"IN THE CLASSROOM!?"

"Not in the one I was teaching, in the storage closet of the one next to it."

"What the hell?!" I yelled.

"I know I stuffed up, but the worst part was I got fired. On my first fricken day." Stacie sobbed.

"Well it was stupid. You should've stopped yourself. But you'll be okay, hopefully."

"Well, I'm gonna go take a shower. Thanks Becks."

"No problem."

Jesse walked up to me holding Bella and handed her over. Bella smiled and cackled as I gave her a smooch on the cheek. I took her inside and placed her down on her play-mat while Jesse brought the baby bag in and locked the car. I looked at the clock and slumped on the lounge.

"Jesse, can you get me a beer?"

"Yeah I was just about to get one. Did you ever think about taking Bella a to mums and babies group, so you can meet some other mums?"

I darted my eyes at Jesse.

"Me around other mums? No. They're all gonna be like 'diapers, my baby is my world, I wanna lose the baby weight' you know, not really my kind of thing."

"C'mon it'll be fun, just go once and see how it goes." Jesse suggested.

"If I go, you go too."

"Sure. Lets do it... tomorrow?"

"You start work again tomorrow Jes."

"Oh, damn. Guess you'll just have to go on your own.."

"Nice try, I'll just go to dads for the day. Go to the beach or something."

Jesse handed me a beer and sat down. We simultaneously sighed as I put my head on his shoulder.

Stacie POV

I didn't even bother washing my hair. I just stood in the shower thinking about what the hell I'm gonna do. I have an ultra sound in 2 months, all booked. By then I'll be 5 months along.

I have no idea what to do with Donald. I stay with him, the baby has a dad and I have more support. I don't stay with him, I have less chance of getting hurt again and I also get to bring up the baby how I want to. I know Donald isn't going to stay faithful. He just won't.

TWO MONTHS LATER

I am about to go to my ultra sound. I have started to show, it's growing. A baby. Inside of me.

"Time to go baby, I'm gonna go start up the car." Donald yells.

I stayed with him. We got our own rental place, just for now. Until we save up enough money for a bigger one.

I run down the front verandah stairs and jump into the car before Donald reverses out of the driveway.

We arrive at the pediatrition and Donald walks me in. The doctor takes me in and puts a weird gel on my stomach before using a stick thing to rub on my stomach.

I look at the screen but I have trouble seeing the baby.

"Oh, Miss Conrad."

A tear rollsdown my face as I prepare myself for the bad news. Donald squeezes my hand.

"Yeah?"

"Congratulations, you get double trouble!" The doctor laughs.

"What?" Donald and I say in sync.

"You're having twins!"
