A Life of the Plain and the Simple

Fifteen

I'm pregnant again. I am still in shock. I can't believe that I'm pregnant again. Now I have tell my parents and my in-laws. After they know, I have to go tell Tom, Aubree, and Nate too. But first I had to go get checked out to see how far I really am. I've missed two periods, but I look bloated, like I'm starting to have a bump. I know for a fact I wasn't like this when I was pregnant with Izzy. But I needed to be sure everything was perfectly normal with me before I tell everyone the news.

Jack was driving while I was in the passenger seat and Izzy was staring out the window from her car seat in the back. I was really nervous and I was bouncing my leg. I wasn't sure what was going on with my body this time, and I was afraid there might be something wrong with me or the baby. I knew Jack wanted a baby really bad. If I were to lose this baby, my heart would be crushed and he would be devastated.

"Relax, Stella," Jack said as glanced over to me from the corner of his eye as he turned into the parking lot of the doctor's office, "Everything's going to be fine, just relax."

I went inside to sign myself in while Jack got Izzy out of the back and followed behind me. Jack sat next to me and held my hand while he had his other arm wrapped around our three year old as she sat on her father's lap. I guess we could use this doctor's visit to tell Izzy she's going to be a big sister soon. I bet she'll be all sorts of excited.

"Stella Barakat," a girl working in the office called me back and Jack followed as he held Izzy's hand to guide her along.

Once I was settled onto the exam table, the doctor came in with an ultrasound technician. The doctor checked on my breathing and other basic things with my body before the tech started to do my sonogram. The doctor didn't say anything to us and neither did the tech. I didn't even get to see the screen. Instead, the doctor had us follow him into his office. I was worried about this.

"How is the baby," I asked as I sat down in front of the doctor's desk.

"The babies are perfectly fine," he replied simply.

"Babies," Jack was confused just as I was.

"Stella is carrying twins. Do they run in either family," he asked.

"I'm a twin. I have a twin brother," I told him.

"That would explain it. When a parent has twins, the chances for multiple births gets passed down in their genes. You happened to have that happen. Stella, we ask that you take it easy with this pregnancy and come to see me every other month until you reach you third trimester. From there I'd like to see you every other week," he told me as he handed Jack the pictures from the sonogram.
Jack and I decided to pay a visit to my parents first, since we saw his parents first when I was going to have Izzy. I walked up to the door with Izzy on my hip and I was greeted by Liam. My little brother was sixteen now and he was actually dating Ali Dawson. I swear he was just like Tom. I thought it was cute.

"Hey Liam, are Mom and Dad home," I asked.

"Yeah, they're out back with Tom, Aubree, Uncle Rian, Aunt Cass," he replied.

He stepped aside and let us in. I sat Izzy down and she ran to the kitchen and tried to open the sliding door. I guess Tom saw her trying to open it and got it for her. She ran to my dad and climbed into his lap.

"Well hello Izzy," I heard Dad greet my hyperactive daughter. She was so much like Jack it wasn't even funny.

"Hey Dad," Jack greeted my dad as he and I walked onto the patio with Liam behind us.

"Hi Mom," I bent down and hugged her.

"What brings you married folks around here," Tom teased as he hugged me while Aubree hugged Jack. I could see that she was starting to show, just like me. So far no one was noticing.

"You can't use that line anymore," Jack replied as we switched Gaskarths.

"We actually have some news to share and since you two are here it saves us the run around a bit," I replied.

"What's the news," Uncle Rian asked after he took a sip of his beer.

"I'm pregnant again," I told everyone.

"Here's the kicker," Jack added, "It's twins."

My dad spat out his wine and my mom started to cry. She got up from her chair and pulled me into her arms.

"Be careful this time, Stella. Complications run in this family. You having twins makes it worse," she whispered in my ear. I began to cry too because of my damn hormones and my fears of what could happen to me began to surface.

"Julia don't scare her," Dad spoke up at last. Mom broke the hug and my dad took me into his arms. I cried into his chest, I was so scared of what could happen to me this time. Izzy was one baby and I got lucky with her. But with me having twins, it was a whole different ball game, "Everything's going to be alright, Stell. I know Jack will take great care of you and make you and your babies make it through this. So will Big Jack and I. We're not about to lose you and my grandchildren."

"At least we won't be the only ones having a baby," Tom joked.

"That's not funny, Tommy," I sniffled as Dad released me. Tom took his turn to hold me.

"I love you, sis. Born together, die together. Which means no dying on me when you have my nieces or nephews," he kissed my hair.

Jack and I soon left after we talked with everyone for awhile. We had one last stop tonight. I hope Jack's parents won't make me cry like my parents and brother did. I hate having my hormones screwing with me so much.
