An unpleasant encounter

I took a deep breath and walked to the reception desk to get the pictures from the ultrasound. I was still overwhelmed by the novelty of having twins. As I stood behind the information desk, waiting, I felt like I was trapped inside an invisible bubble. I could barely hear any noises from the people around me and everything seemed fuzzy. Just in the moment as the secretary handed me the pictures I heard a loud, brassy voice sounding through the room. "Taaaayyyylor is that you?" Damn it, I knew this annoying voice far too well. Jacksons mother.
Think about the worst person you ever met in your life, imagine this person being twice as bad as she/he already is...this person still won't be as worse as she was. She could be descriped as a sanctimonious, reckless and unfriedly snake. Started hating me the first time she met me.

Before I had the possibility to react she stood behind me, seeing...of course...the pictures from the ultrasound. She snapped the pictures out of my hand, looked at them and took an exaggerated deep breath. After that she looked at me and then at all the other people standing or sitting in the waiting room. She acted like she was playing in a theater, looking for support from her audience. Fortunately the other people weren't really interessted in seeing more of her weird show, so she started to give me her full attention. "Taylor are you pregnant?", she whispered...or at least, pretended to whisper. "Seems so, could you please pass me my pictures back", I answered while not even trying to hide my annoyance. Low-key she handed me my pictures. "So why do I know NOTHING about my future grandchildren.", she was clearly screaming now...maybe a last try to regain the attention of her audience. If there ever was one. She continued: "Jackson didn't say a single word about the pregnancy...my own son....", she wailed in a high pitched voice. "Excuse me madame, would you mind to lower your voice, I just can't concentrate on my work", the woman from the information desk looked at Jacksons mother. I smiled at her thankfully. As a response the snake wrinkled her nose and shot the secretary a sharp look. After that she pulled me apart from the desk.  "Ehm Taylor, I'm still waiting for an explanation .", she whispered impatiently. Actually I just wanted to turn around, leave the unfriendly woman behind me and drive home, but as this woman could be a possible future grandmother for my kids I pulled myself together. "I just found out about the pregnancy, Jackson doesn't know about it yet", I explained. She seemed to cheer up. "Oh I will tell him about it as soon as I get home", she declared with a bright smile, than turned around. "No, wait", I shouted, shocked by her reaction. "Don't you think it should be my task to inform the father of MY baby?", I raised my eyebrows. Of course she didn't agree with me still she gave in: "Ugh, alright...tell him about it, but Taylor? Don't wait too long...if he doesn't know about it by the end of this week, I will tell him.", she winked at me. I guess her last phrase was meant as a joke but for me it sounded way more like a threat.

On my drive home I tried to realize that I was going to be a mother of not only one but two babys. Would I be able to be a good mother to them? I remembered a scene of my latest movie "Miss Americana", having me saying "I'm definetly not ready to have kids and all that stuff...". Well I was not ready but now I just had to learn to be ready.

I stopped at one of my favourite shopping malls. Buying new things would always cheer me up. But this time instead of going to the woman section I headed directly to the babys clothes. Oh my goodness, I didn't know that clothes could be that cute. I imagined my little babyS wearing them. Yep I nearly started to cry. God these hormones...Would I have two little princesses or two little kings or maybe both...I got so exited. No matter what or how they would be, I still knew that I already loved them, more than I've ever loved someone before. A way of love only mothers are able to feel. Suddenly I realized that I would do anything to give them a perfect and happy life...

I decided to buy two cute little bodys for my babys. I wanted to surprise Abby with them. Actually I started to like the idea of having twins. Even though they might not have a (good) father, at least they would have each other.
