I’d never felt a heat so hot at that. I didn’t think that I would feel like I was in Hell, but the heat that radiated off of him was so intense that I thought the Devil himself was in front of me.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0yz9Ednt6
I snorted awake from the couch and smacked, looking around. I must have fallen asleep to a movie or something. I didn’t really appreciate not being woken up when everyone else went to bed and led to my room. I know I was heavy and stuff but come on… I sighed, running my fingers through my red hair and noticed that I was sweating pretty badly. I felt sticky like I had been next to a fireplace for a while. I got myself off of the couch and waddled my way up the stairs so that I could go take a shower in my bathroom. Must have been my memory of that time again…
Ever since I got pregnant, the day it happened just wouldn’t leave me. I had tiny portions of it popping up in my head every time I went to sleep. I had the memories sometimes when I went to sleep before the rape but afterward it was like a constant thing. I remember waking up constantly screaming my head off and Uncle Thadeus coming into my room, holding me. He thought I was dreaming of being raped and I let him because he was not allowed into that world… he was not allowed to know the world I knew.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv410bpSaA
I finally got to the bathroom and grabbed a towel from the linen closet and went into the bathroom. I turned the faucet on and stripped. I looked in the mirror and wanted to just turn into a blob and cry. I was so stretched and distorted, ugly stretch marks like a pattern along my pregnant belly and nasty ones on my thighs where they had widened to hold my enormous stomach. My boobs had gotten bigger, a least a cup, and I sighed, looking at my reflection with displeasure. I had to pull myself away from the mirror before I did something again and I got into the shower.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgcbNi8rWR
The hot water blasting on me to wash away the sweat was welcoming. The babies must have felt the water hitting my stomach because they decided to act up and I touched my stomach. I felt something run along the inside of my stomach and smiled a little. It was a grotesque stomach but on the inside were little lives that were just waiting to see me, love me, and depend on me. As scary as it was, I was anticipating them as well. So, me and my babies took a shower in pleasant silence.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbKsi6tTWc

“Avery, you’re going to have to take Remy to the obstetrician today.” Uncle Thadeus announced over breakfast.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqIpzOVqNa
I had taken off for my visit to the OB/GYN today but I was capable of going by myself…300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYIrWPbGjT
“I’m fine, Uncle Thad, I don’t need Avery to take me. Besides, he has school.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGhPE9CW0f
“Yeah, Dad, I have school and stuff.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8lF8qQwkb
“Plus, the idiot doesn’t even know what an obstetrician is. How could he take me if he doesn’t know?” I said with a wry smile at my cousin.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOhfjc2hza
Avery made a face at me and I stuck my tongue at him.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GJuG0UIWg
“Children. Remember, you need someone to take you there.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyxUybpqM6
“I can take care of myself, Uncle Thad.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yT8di6SYE
“And look where it has gotten you.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYJTAnHjBs
“Jealous got me here.” I snarled, slamming my fork into my plate. “If he hadn’t left I wouldn’t be in this situation. My mother was dumb for naming us such weird ass names. At least make them something that doesn’t cause confusion in a time of crisis!”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VMTuyomgh
“Uh oh, preggo is moody…”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWzH4rhqT0
I screamed and flipped the table over on Avery. Uncle Thad just sighed and I gave him a look to say anything. He knew I had a bad temper since forever and he also knew that Avery was a pain in the ass and an instigator. Since I was also hormonal, the ability to keep my anger in check was harder than usual.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkWeaj9XjB
“Remember…”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE63UFDuA1
“He pisses me off! Why can’t you go back and live with your mother, Avery?!”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33tNcFa9O3
“Why don’t you stop blaming Jay for your pregnancy, Remember?!”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJFhydXLHL
“Why don’t you ask her why she made you came back here. Oh, right, everyone knows that she picked some prick over her own child. So how’s that for great parenting. At least I want my children.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6nLMwSK57
“You’re a bitch.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPnmifRZBC
“Can dish it but can’t take it, huh?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz2sQ2C49S
“If you two don’t quit it I’m going to kill you both. Avery, for being a jerk to Remy for no reason, you get to take her to the obstetrician. No exceptions. Remy, for being short tempered, you get to have Avery take you to the obstetrician. No exceptions. Now… Remy’s appointment is in two hours, so get dressed and take her.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKcvDcsTop
Neither of us were happy but we did it to ourselves anyway.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQngrw58AYj
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuw4EkLXFM
As we drove to my appointment, we didn’t speak and I just looked out the window. I hated going anywhere with Avery…300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxdNvm2PxO
“Look, I’m going to drop you off at your appointment and go do my thing. I don’t want to see your vagina all out in the open.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrozTVa3kg
“You won’t see it, stupid. Only the nurse and doctor look there. The only thing you’ll see is the babies. And you can’t leave because I will tell Uncle Thadeus and make you be there for the delivery. Catch my placenta when it flies out, jackass.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHYzWYoI0e
“Ugh! That’s so gross! Fine, fine…”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdLvWVvsCl
I smirked as we pulled into the parking lot and even though Avery was a jerk, he was kind enough to open my door and help me out of his truck. I walked in and told them I had an appointment and sat down. Avery grabbed a magazine and began to read as I looked at all the posters in the lobby.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQU8Ouh7h9
Someone sat a little ways from me and I turned. It was a guy about my age or a little older with spike up black and blue hair, black eyeliner around his eyes and a piercing in his eyebrow, his lip and gages in his ears. I blinked at him and he turned to me. He smiled at me but when he saw my stomach he kind of lost his gusto so it seemed.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq6SsRhZ5v
“So, what are you having?” he asked.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EWSsgheLz
“Twins… I don’t know what gender though.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBSlYFs5PF
“Nice. What do you hope for?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3iBxDMRb9
“Girls.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3NRZXCPzB
He reached over and held out his hand. “I’m Peregrin, by the way. Don’t I know you?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6UFFbgGqF
“Peregrin? Do you go by a nickname?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37YWf7TYr4
“I used to go by Perry when I worked at the police station for a bit as a filing clerk.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkvYzf0gL2
“That’s probably where you know me from then. I’m the girl that used to always get put in the solitary cell for getting into fights…”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOfjn5WzzJ
“Oh yeah! I remember you… Remember, right?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRsj373S40
“Yeah.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNvdoMydmM
“Aw, I remember them talking about how you would always defend your brother and stuff and that you were a great older sister but then it all stopped and stuff. I’m sure your boyfriend there knows what I’m talking about?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwFzTdxYpz
Avery moved so that he could look at Peregrin with a harsh glare.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbgxndq54K
“For your information, she’s my cousin.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAbN7sySFl
“Oh, my bad. You didn’t seem like someone to get into that kind of trouble… Are you okay?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHPn701sYn
“Huh?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOpw5Sdg0N
“However it happened, you weren’t ‘hurt’, right?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq0yd5LaGI
“Not that I’m aware of… Just left with this.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YUVwGoAMR
Peregrin’s eyes, which were an odd shade of blue, looked at me in pity.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F0vWDbx4g
“I know how you feel. My sister was done the same way. She actually died though because she couldn’t handle it but I’m so happy you are alright.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEs2EGizbC
“Who are you here with then?” Avery asked. “I’ve seen you around school.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElg0E5Pdu3
“My mom. Fourth sibling now…”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcKl4U2kd7
“Ms. Kennington…”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c3VDfYQ0Q
“That’s me. Thanks for talking with me.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekiwhiJM7r
“Hey, we’ll have to get together sometime!” he yelled as I went back.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2h3Xdm4ac
I blinked at him but followed the nurse to my room. I was given vitals and waited for the doctor. He came in and checked me and then prepared me for the sonogram to see what my babies were.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi3i9IlK84
“Well, I see a little girl here and… oh? What’s this? A rarity indeed: a girl and a boy. Congratulations, Ms. Kennington.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzPr5RFXNh
I sighed but had to admit that the babies were cute little alien looking things. I was given sonogram pictures and I walked out to see Avery.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0O2VZVxgy
“Well?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xCYdreFdV
“A boy and a girl.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQmG7qA57m
“Cool, best of both worlds. Oh, that guy left his number with me to give to you.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uCQjI4pdV
I took the piece of folded paper from him and looked at it. He had very nice handwriting… there was also something else on the page too, where he had written it.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44rolsTaJC
300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtH6yJGIWq
“Hey, I thought you were amazing today. I hope everything goes alright for you. Peregrin.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIpnZFQYQC
