I’d never seen anything like it in my whole life. I’d seen it happen in books, movies, and TV shows but never in real life. What I was seeing couldn’t be real, right?311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x6IpeTBiI

“Remy!” I jumped a little and Ms. Millie looked at me with worry. “Are you alright, child?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAbqDXHreV
“Yes ma’am…”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLiWGXDAGi
“I called you at least four times and you never answered.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqQOJUGk4F
“Sorry… I guess I must have spaced out…”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcROVbKGhDc
“Some people walked in at Table 6, looks like a big family.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF2EAKDYIH
I nodded and smoothed my apron over myself to go to the table. I walked up to them and was surprised to see the guy from the obstetrician’s office there with what looked like twin sisters and his parents. I grumbled at my horrible luck but walked up.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVggHRborH
“Hello, welcome. What can I get you all to drink?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodM5viw7Iu
The older man looked up and his eyes widened.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSZZiLuOYL
“Oh, uh… A large cranberry juice.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCozF2UCrAN
“Hmm, some coffee…”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN0wmBGtM9
“Mom, you can’t have coffee while you’re pregnant.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN94DY4SZb
“I’m cold though.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuIrXOFk97
“Do you have- Hey, it’s you.” He said with a grin to me.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGTZrFFhqS
“Yeah… yay…” I said a little sarcastically but I was already embarrassed that his father was looking at me weird and the fact that he was here in general. “Um, we have hot chocolate or hot tea.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWhdyUpSXF
“I guess hot chocolate will do. Ugh, I’m dying for some coffee again but somebody won’t quit getting me pregnant.” She growled, kicking the man in the leg.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZpCKL58fy
“Don’t blame just me… Perry, you know this girl?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPt6R2kPkd
“Yeah, she went to my school.” He turned back to me. “You never called. Did I do something wrong?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlYtxC9SV6
“Perry… Not here…” I said, looking at his parents.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQxP1efl9F
“Pewwy wook! I got a cwayon!” one of the little ones said.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88SytpSI6O
He turned swiftly to them and smiled. “That’s great. It’s a pretty blue one, huh?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbupdBQwRnl
“Wike your eyes!” she said with a childish grin and put her hands over her mouth in embarrassment.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqyxkdIuAJ
I smiled at them as Perry got the two little girl’s attention.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9YAUcyzJF
“Sapphire, Pink, can you tell the nice lady what you want to drink?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkP5Q0BWh2
“I want sthweet tea…” the other little girl said.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmsWnkaSpi
“I want spwite!”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGzAETa4vo
“Alright, a Sprite for you, sweet tea, hot chocolate, and cranberry juice. What about you?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjFg8Hoyzd
“I’ll have hot tea.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IdAPXFRba
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5aT36ZnQY
I walked to the back and got everyone’s drinks, bringing it back. They ordered and I went back behind the counter where I felt safer and tried to breathe.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jho3jQmd2
“I hope they didn’t offend you.” I heard beside me and looked over.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKhGHHsBdp
Perry was looking at me with a worried expression.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvwCFiDf8
“N-no, I wasn’t offended.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9RJD3yZr3
“Are you sure? The girls aren’t exactly quiet but they’re sweet so they didn’t mean any harm.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKwbC6o0S0
“I know they’re just curious. I’m sure they ask their mother questions all the time… By the way what is she having?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbq6iDpnBx
“A boy. I think my dad will stop now.” He said with a chuckle as he played with the tea bag. “What about you?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUCGZCJoYT
“A rare boy and girl.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0E2fhuAUp
“Awesome… Did your cousin not give my number to you?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VGEPjdFfT
“Um, well, he did but… I thought you were joking.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhEFq1wKYU
“What do you mean?” he asked, turning his head at me calmly.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kuJv3RYfJ
“Well, seriously, you met me at the obstetrician’s office…”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6rrilo3wK
Perry played with his lip ring for a moment and with his tea.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwGhMgTv8E
“So, just because I met you at a weird place doesn’t mean I wanna get to know you?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NqqVoxPa5
“It was the obstetrician’s office.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3F4nq6XwJ
“Alright, so I have a fetish.” He said calmly, looking up at me with just his eyes. “Pregnant girls turn me on.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyoi4DAfKI
“Um, that’s great to know.” I said with a nervous laugh.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOqFBhvwpd
“I’m not trying to be creepy and the only reason you think I am is because you think you’re undateable or rather, ugly, right?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bU8iL2ie1
“I never-“311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuBexmr52e
“Remember… I’m not trying to be strange or get on your good side. I’m being genuine here. I had a crush on you before when I worked at the police station but seeing you like this… It’s really hot.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVk2WuZhQ7
“Order up, Remy.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0jjmrr1a2
“I have to get back to work.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nIqRpD2h5
Perry smiled a little and went back to his seat. I really was kind of freaked out but I was also unsure. I mean, most people don’t come up to you and say that your pregnancy is hot. I felt really bad because I think I offended him…311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfVeI7nrmi
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0q16jRVlS
I walked into the house, still feeling really horrible about what happened with Perry when I heard a popper crack and I screamed. I looked over at the living room and saw Uncle Thad with confetti on his head and Avery with a kazoo in his mouth. He gave a pitiful blow.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHZoCnspOe
“Um…”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj54t1xRTju
“Happy gender-finding-out!”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16IIJFgxil
“Uncle Thad, that was like a week ago.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2539DPTtG
“I know but I didn’t get to do anything for you!”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdAj79za3k
“We’re having a party of three.” Avery said with a sigh. “I was invited because I live here.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo6lThyAwS
“I figured that, stupid. But seriously, what’s going on?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcEAjdCmv2
Uncle Thad smiled and put his arm around my shoulders, leading me up the stairs.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHiEc6MmkE
“We have a surprise for you.” He pulled me along and then stopped at a door. “Close your eyes.” I sighed but did as he told and he pulled me along for a second. “Alright, open.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CLKEKbZlz
I opened my eyes and my heart fell. It was a nursery… One side was Star Wars themed and the other side was themed in Fruits Basket. I put my hands over my mouth.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAXh8kv68s
“I remember that you said if you had one or the other you’d want the boy to be a Star Wars kid and the girl you wanted to have a more anime side to her. So, you get the best of both- Remy? Why are you crying?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd59GSika7V
“It… It’s so thoughtful but… I can’t accept this.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphFAXcaF0F
“Why not?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG3QrBfrgO
“I can’t walk in here because everywhere I look I see Jealous!” I cried, bawling into my hands.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPaDrDQvlB
Uncle Thadeus pulled me into a hug and stroked my head softly.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cWZObIo2y
“Remy, Jay is gone. Where he went, I have no idea, but you can’t blame yourself for making him leave and you can’t blame him for not being there when you called that fateful night. The best we can do is make do with what we have now and what we have are two little people coming into the world who is going to need their mother more than anything.” I looked up at him and he smiled. “Think of this as a step forward. You can’t avoid everything forever. You’re going to run into things that Jay liked but believe me, Remy, there are worse things.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDbinqFOpL
I sniffled and nodded but looked at him sadly again.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtzSt0BzJ7
“Well, can I make a regretful request?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeL7CthXqV
“I guess…”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm8r2X0RDG
“Can we just make them both anime babies? Can you exchange or sell this and make the boy’s part Fullmetal Alchemist or Bleach? I won’t be so emotional with that. You know how much Jay loved Star Wars. That’s just a little much.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipd2KE0czV
Uncle Thad laughed. “That we can do. Are you going to keep with naming tradition and give your kids crazy names?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLIeH5kEfg
“Yes and no. More like not really used that often names that just seem weird.” Uncle Thad chuckled and I hugged him again. “I’m sorry.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYDZgjMOQ7
“Don’t be. You were so close to him and care for him most of the time. You have every right not to be constantly reminded of him. We’ll see what we can do.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwZmNUh8Eb
“You can keep the stuffed Chewbacca though. That’s too adorable.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM0riJO9rw
We laughed and left the room.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYELWNI8M3
311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPVSFIR8u2
I played with the little piece of paper that Perry had given me and I sighed. I should totally apologize to him… I dialed the number and waited for the phone to ring.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdskLLTlcYL
“Hello?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGrpAIViuP
“Um… is this Perry?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgodjbnv8nh
“This is his father. Who is this?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2fbKij4ks
“Um… a friend. Can I talk to him? Perry, that is…”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYnU8zfC5I
“PERRY! THERE’S A GIRL ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H7u9Th9xM
I draw circles on my tummy and a foot pressed up to say hello. I poked it and it kicked back.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHGYYMgGaw
“Hello?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd74FayTEZv
“Um, hi. This is Remy… um… I… IjustwantedtosayIwassorry, BYE!”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Wg917AHg
I hung up quickly and squeed, putting my face in my hands in total embarrassment. I could take on four boys to defend my brother but taking on one to talk with like a girly girl? I suck… I screamed when the phone rang again and I turned it on.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwCrc9viU9
“He- hello?”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx19uRSZ7WI
“You wanna run whatever language that was by me again?” Perry said from the other end with a laugh.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW5Tc7fjm2
“I… I’m sorry…”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhmAUgfIwR
“Don’t be. I’m sure that was really weird coming from someone who looks like me.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1X24duIff
“No. Just weird in general. Actually, if you had looked like you used to, I would have taken it to a different level of weird. Oh god! I’m sorry, I’m horrible!”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLwqNljkmq
Perry was dying on the other end of the phone.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGlFatuIKx
“No, you’re right but it’s still funny.” He laughed some more.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaDULbimXA
“I’m not very good at this sort of thing.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjehbElCqj
“I’m not either.”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR39cgwnwnL
We talked into the night and laughed about lots of things. I felt happy for the first time since Jealous left. I felt at peace with myself… 311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM81pGJnW8A
