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?295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoACv4TQ9Y

“Remy!” I jumped a little and Ms. Millie looked at me with worry. “Are you alright, child?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeevLShKc2L
“Yes ma’am…”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fbJgqxfsu
“I called you at least four times and you never answered.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLPyOH7bjn
“Sorry… I guess I must have spaced out…”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMdBNDEp6B
“Some people walked in at Table 6, looks like a big family.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm8HrzeUHj
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMmljlFLrU
“Hello, welcome. What can I get you all to drink?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJgMEwFCbj
The older man looked up and his eyes widened.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUYDmLn6Fe
“Oh, uh… A large cranberry juice.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PdCLLNGxs
“Hmm, some coffee…”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSohiigHIZ
“Mom, you can’t have coffee while you’re pregnant.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQxKcIq9gM
“I’m cold though.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U3kcG1qbo
“Do you have- Hey, it’s you.” He said with a grin to me.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSNJ1Hw18b
“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.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6VLbbcdq9
“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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8svrbtfHeV
“Don’t blame just me… Perry, you know this girl?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLRYThdzRP
“Yeah, she went to my school.” He turned back to me. “You never called. Did I do something wrong?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4vxIOjjIU
“Perry… Not here…” I said, looking at his parents.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iVN7zynzF
“Pewwy wook! I got a cwayon!” one of the little ones said.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ySveoabrg
He turned swiftly to them and smiled. “That’s great. It’s a pretty blue one, huh?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd0TwSizUa
“Wike your eyes!” she said with a childish grin and put her hands over her mouth in embarrassment.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXpNgWC1Hb
I smiled at them as Perry got the two little girl’s attention.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXWJ7sH1Oi
“Sapphire, Pink, can you tell the nice lady what you want to drink?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrZu0gLvno
“I want sthweet tea…” the other little girl said.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKNtyNCbKu
“I want spwite!”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVIQathdmv
“Alright, a Sprite for you, sweet tea, hot chocolate, and cranberry juice. What about you?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK5AwmaGmt
“I’ll have hot tea.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vBfRyvmfK
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ip9ShZpvD
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhcXOJnJYd
“I hope they didn’t offend you.” I heard beside me and looked over.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstlkM1WOtE
Perry was looking at me with a worried expression.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVm857CNwi
“N-no, I wasn’t offended.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbptVdMjZM
“Are you sure? The girls aren’t exactly quiet but they’re sweet so they didn’t mean any harm.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeaA6rNrRD
“I know they’re just curious. I’m sure they ask their mother questions all the time… By the way what is she having?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfj7w79kv5
“A boy. I think my dad will stop now.” He said with a chuckle as he played with the tea bag. “What about you?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlpKgPXbqA
“A rare boy and girl.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhYZHbAh5G
“Awesome… Did your cousin not give my number to you?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ha1l7IZQT
“Um, well, he did but… I thought you were joking.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLTEH8G7bV
“What do you mean?” he asked, turning his head at me calmly.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4v7Fleddt
“Well, seriously, you met me at the obstetrician’s office…”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdSA7T6vA5
Perry played with his lip ring for a moment and with his tea.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2N6Tlpo00
“So, just because I met you at a weird place doesn’t mean I wanna get to know you?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHlphO40gB
“It was the obstetrician’s office.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet6Sk4Qq9l
“Alright, so I have a fetish.” He said calmly, looking up at me with just his eyes. “Pregnant girls turn me on.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYfZSzFtRo
“Um, that’s great to know.” I said with a nervous laugh.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFPNONXgfb
“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?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6F4xPhzEQ
“I never-“295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JDHmaDa6F
“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.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6nfWOfxAh
“Order up, Remy.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf50qywgpB7
“I have to get back to work.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwruBNGBSiL
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…295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3PGRTanX7
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE5X2BX0XK
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tm9QkBWm3
“Um…”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNkplMB3TO
“Happy gender-finding-out!”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFNFs1s4Jn
“Uncle Thad, that was like a week ago.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusiXW7CNDm
“I know but I didn’t get to do anything for you!”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip1dijjGWA
“We’re having a party of three.” Avery said with a sigh. “I was invited because I live here.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNZQtBkYhM
“I figured that, stupid. But seriously, what’s going on?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9taOfraOHS
Uncle Thad smiled and put his arm around my shoulders, leading me up the stairs.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg3eOI9lBM
“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.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBola0s7UIB
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAlakeGdK9
“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?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDS1ohreIG
“It… It’s so thoughtful but… I can’t accept this.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS07vt7Rcb4
“Why not?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx8ZzQuOY0
“I can’t walk in here because everywhere I look I see Jealous!” I cried, bawling into my hands.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmlep4ocOE
Uncle Thadeus pulled me into a hug and stroked my head softly.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznURmjzLFE
“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.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI45YYEn1FU
I sniffled and nodded but looked at him sadly again.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngwpFONAem
“Well, can I make a regretful request?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjxbEF86NS
“I guess…”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarSbyn0nbf
“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.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfFGuI3ZgF
Uncle Thad laughed. “That we can do. Are you going to keep with naming tradition and give your kids crazy names?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYsw28RF1I
“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.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC5YIWAQmC
“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.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedqOMrTlUW
“You can keep the stuffed Chewbacca though. That’s too adorable.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KBlZwgBaX
We laughed and left the room.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BmMskJO3u
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddIteclYFC
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yiDlqBbPg
“Hello?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy8K569LtF
“Um… is this Perry?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ93hx7F8xP
“This is his father. Who is this?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK97mzbr9p4
“Um… a friend. Can I talk to him? Perry, that is…”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOhM7mVT00
“PERRY! THERE’S A GIRL ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN1Wmd9sRD
I draw circles on my tummy and a foot pressed up to say hello. I poked it and it kicked back.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wm2cDSC4
“Hello?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aTAdTVxgG
“Um, hi. This is Remy… um… I… IjustwantedtosayIwassorry, BYE!”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVc34RmXEp
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjgbFlLRHG
“He- hello?”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uVFTIAmdw
“You wanna run whatever language that was by me again?” Perry said from the other end with a laugh.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzQjlRLQX
“I… I’m sorry…”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYZGZBE8wY
“Don’t be. I’m sure that was really weird coming from someone who looks like me.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy0vybrKys
“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!”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjma2N0v8Q
Perry was dying on the other end of the phone.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JpOCOHuxT
“No, you’re right but it’s still funny.” He laughed some more.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4W5FLB5Yl
“I’m not very good at this sort of thing.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFoMoTJkHV
“I’m not either.”295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxW0Sne37H
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… 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEtjS61u3o
