Chapter 8
I woke up 1 May morning with my stomach in pain. I jumped out of
bed and ran to the bathroom to throw up. BSB was on a European
tour and would be home in 2 days.
"You OK AC?" Ash ran into the restroom.
"I'm late."
"Huh."
"My period. I should have had it last week but I didn't."
"Crap."
"Crap is right."
"Don't panic I'll call a doctor and we'll find out for sure."
"Sounds good but hurry up I need to know soon."
She ran downstairs to call. In about 10 minutes she came back up.
"Our appointments in 2 hours."
"OK."
Later that day-
"When's the doctor gonna call?" I had been nervous since I'd gone to the doctor. He said it was very likely I was pregnant. It wasn't that I didn't want kids but I just wasn't sure how I'd balance a child and a career.
"He's gonna call any minute now."
"RRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!"
"Told you." I stuck my tongue out at her and picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"Is AC there."
"This is her."
"I have the results of her test."
"Yes." I was getting real nervous.
"They came out positive." I dropped the phone.
Ash picked up,"Yes thank you I'll tell her."
"Oh geez Ash I'm pregnant should I call Bri now."
"No he'll just worry. He'll be home in 2 days."
"OK."
"The doctor said you need to come in every 2 weeks."
"Thanks."
"Don't worry AC I'll help you."
"Thanks your a good
friend."
2 days later-
I pushed my way through the crowds at the airport.
"Brian!"
"AC!"
"Let's get ourselves home."
Bri, Nick, Ash and I made our
way out of the airport and drove home. Both groups were at the
house that night.
"Brian I need to talk to you."
"Sure what?"
I dragged him into the next room.
"I'm pregnant." I couldn't think of an easy way to say it so I blurted it out.
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
"You mean I'm a dad."
"Yup."
"All right!" He ran out of the room whooping and hollering happily.
"What was that about?" AJ asked as I walked into the room. Ash looked at me and I nodded with a smile on my face.
"I'm pregnant."
"I'm gonna be a dad!" If you couldn't tell Bri had just ran into the room.
"Congratulations!" They told us.
"When's it due?" Ariana wanted to know.
"January 23." Then the phone rang and I answered it.
"Hello."
"Hello is AC there."
"This is her."
"This is doctor Cole. I was looking at the tests again and I found something I missed."
"Is something wrong."
"No but you'll be surprised to know your having twins."
"What?"
"Twins. Well good bye."
"Bye."
"Two," I whispered.
"Two, huh?" Zoe said.
"I'm having twins." Everyone's jaws dropped.
I looked at Brian. "I want the sex to be a surprise, is that OK?"
"Yeah, I wanted it that way too."
"Good." The rest of the night was a celebration.
