She's an Aura

Baby Shopping

After I was off bed rest, Adam didn't let me do anything for another three days. I was able to convince him that we should go baby shopping and he caved. Jade and Kyle joined us since we decided they would be the godparents. We walked into a store and looked around. I was looking at strollers and couldn't decide.

"Having twins?" I heard a voice next to me.

I looked over and saw a woman.

"Yeah, and I want to be prepared. Just don't know what stroller to go for." I chuckled.

"I suggest Kolcraft Cloud Plus double stroller. I had a friend who had twins and she swears by it." She said.

"Cheap too," I said, looking at the price.

"Perfect then." She said.

"I'm Abby by the way." I reached my hand out for her to shake.

"Alexandra, but everyone just calls me Alex." She said, shaking my hand.

"How far are you?" I asked.

"A little more than four months." She said.

"Me too. Is it just me, or do twins just love kicking at this point?" I asked.

"Nope, her too, kept me up all day till my husband came home from work." She said.

"Them too." I rubbed my stomach.

"Abby, did you choose one yet?" Adam walked over.

"Yeah, thanks to Alex," I said.

"Hi, I'm Adam. Gotta make sure she's moving around and not standing to stare at something." Adam introduced.

"Understandable, my husband has caught me staring at something about 5 times in here." She said.

I chuckled.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"He ran to the car to pack everything, I wanted to stay in here cause it's hot out and I have found out the hard way I do not handle the heat well." She said.

"Well, I'm about to pay and Kyle and I will pack the car, how about you hang out in here with her and Jade," Adam said.

I nodded and I turned to Alex, Jade walked over after a minute and we talked.

"You guys seem cool, let me get your numbers, we could go out for lunch sometime." Alex handed me her phone.

I put my number and Jade's number. Adam walked in and signaled us to go out. We all walked out and Alex and Jade were about to cross the street when I saw a truck speeding down the street. I grabbed Alex and Jade's arms and pulled them back, we all fell back. The truck honked and sped by, his tires screeched as he turned sharply.

"Abby!" Adam got down next to us.

"Alex!" I heard another man.

Jade and Adam helped us up.

"Are you guys ok?" Jade asked.

"Yeah. You saved my life." Alex said, turning to me.

"Yeah, I saw him coming down the street and didn't want you guys to get hurt," I said.

Kyle and another man ran over.

"Are you ok? Are you hurt?" Adam asked me.

"I'm ok," I said.

"Alex, are you ok?" The man asked Alex.

"Yeah," Alex said, laying her head on the man's chest.

I grabbed Adam's hand taking a deep breath.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Adam asked, holding his head to mine.

"Yeah, I just got a little scared," I said.

"Let's get you home, I think that's enough excitement for one day," Adam said.

The twins kicked me, I sighed.

"I think the twins agree," I said, rubbing my stomach, trying to calm them down.

"Thank you for saving her." The man held his hand towards me.

"No problem, gotta look out for each other." I chuckled, shaking his hand.

We all left and Kyle drove while Adam sat with me in the back seat. I laid my head on Adam's shoulder, he wrapped his arms around me. Once we got home, Jade and I sat on the bed in our room sorting through the clothes while Adam and Kyle built the crib. I looked over at them and saw Kyle poking Adam with part of the crib. I smiled. I sighed when I felt the twins kick.

"I'm calling it, the twins are going to be badass Aura's, because there is no way being pregnant with normal twins is this painful," I said.

Jade chuckled, rubbing my stomach.

"Did you have to pick a complicated crib?" Kyle asked.

"I'm sure they're all built the same," I said.

I felt suddenly nauseated and I sat up, I felt my stomach lurch and I ran into the bathroom. I felt Adam pull my hair back and grab my hand.

"Hayes said the morning sickness should stop soon," Adam told me as I leaned back.

I nodded, Adam helped me up and I sat on the bed.

"You alright?" Jade asked me.

"Yeah, just the morning sickness," I said.

I looked at the twin's clothes. The girl and boy clothes. I smiled.

"Excited?" Jade looked at me.

I nodded.

"You know, we should be building this in the twin's room." Adam looked at Kyle.

Kyle groaned and laid back on the floor. I looked over at them.

"The twins have a room?" I asked.

"Yeah, did I not tell you about that?" Adam looked at me.

"No, you did not tell me, I want to see," I said.

"Well, let's finish building the cribs in there and then I'll show you," Adam said.

I nodded and smiled. Jade and I finished sorting everything out and waited for the boys to come back so we could see the room.

After a while, the boys came back in the room. Adam helped me up and Jade grabbed the stuff we had sorted through. We walked into a room across the hall and I looked around. The walls were dark blue, the cribs were next to each other, and the changing table I had picked out was in between them. There were some decor set up that I had picked out hung on the walls and placed throughout the room and there was a dresser on the opposite side of the cribs. Then there were two rocking chairs by the window. Jade put their clothes in the dresser and put everything else in the changing table. I smiled widely.

"I love it, it looks so good." I said.
"I'm glad, we worked hard on this." Adam chuckled a bit.
"It looks great. I love it so much." I turned to Adam.
"Good." He wrapped his arms around me.
