It has been four weeks since I found out the genders of my babies. So I am twenty four weeks pregnant now, and huge. I have been back to the hospital once a week since then, like I was told. My last appointment was yesterday. My daughter is still smaller than she should be at this gestation, but as long as I keep eating healthily, and taking my vitamins, she should be fine. I hope she's fine.

Kaitlyn has arranged my baby shower for tomorrow. So my dad is out getting things ready for it, whilst I am at home, on my own.

My dad, Kaitlyn, Isaac, Lidewij, Bas and Peter have been busy decorating the nurseries. We decided to give the twins a room each as this is a four bedroom house, also because I'm having a boy and a girl we thought it would be better for them. I wanted to help but they said no because of how far along I am. So whilst they have been hard at work I have been eating, watching TV, going on my laptop and reading.

I am sitting on the sofa watching TV with my hands resting on my bump, when there is a knock on the door.

I slowly get up; it is more difficult with a bump this big and twins weighing you down, and walk to the door. I open it to find Peter Van Houten standing on the other side, smiling, with a block of paper in his hand.

"Hey, Peter. Come in." I say, smiling in return. I move to the side to let him in and close the door behind him.

We walk into the living room and sit on the same sofa I was just sitting on.

"Hello Hazel, how are the twins?" He asks.

"They're good; baby B is still smaller than she should be though." I tell him.

"Don't worry; I'm sure she'll be fine." He says.

"I hope so. What's with all the paper?" I ask, gesturing to the wad of paper in his hands.

"I was going to wait until tomorrow to give it to you, but I decided against it as tomorrow is about giving you things for the babies. This is my first draft of 'Okay?' I thought you might want to read through it. You know, tell me if it's good enough to tell yours and Augustus' love story. If there's anything you want me to change then just tell me and I'll change it. So, would you like to read through it?" He explains.

"Of course I'd like to read through it. I'm sure it'll be fine though." I say.

"Okay. Also, at the end there is a little something in there for you from Augustus that he gave to me in the case that I did ever decide to write another book. The book is in his point of view, and he gave me all the pointers I needed to write it." He says.

"Thank you." I say.

"No problem. I hope you enjoy it." He says.

"I'm sure I will. When do you want it back?" I ask.

"Well, just tell me when you've finished reading it and whether you like it or not, or if anything needs changing. But, you can keep that copy I have it on my laptop." He says.

"Thank you." I say.

"You're welcome. Anyway, I should get going, I have baby stuff to buy." He tells me.

"Okay." I say before gasping as the babies kick me hard.

"Are you all right?" He asks, concerned.

"Oh, yeah, they just kicked real hard." I tell him.

"Okay, well, I'll see you tomorrow." He says, smiling kindly.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." I say, smiling back at him.

He leaves the house and I just stare at the papers in my hands, wanting to read it, but not wanting to read it. I don't know if I'm ready to relive it all. But at least I'll know how Gus felt.

I decide to read it tonight, before I go to bed. So I go back to watching TV.

...

My dad comes home two hours later with god knows how many bags full of stuff. When he's put everything away he does dinner, I'm not allowed to cook anything either.

We eat dinner and we talk. I tell him about the draft Peter gave me to read and he says that he's happy that Gus is going to be remembered the way he wanted to be.

After dinner I decide to go up to room, get into my pyjamas, and read (or start to read) the first draft of 'Okay?'

So, that's what I do. I go to my room, get into my pyjamas, and I start to read the first draft of okay?.
