Jacob.

 

 

''No, I used to live up in Georgia when I was younger. Where Elle is from and used to live too. And I hadn't been in London for too long to gain the english accent.'' Jacob says to Doctor Mia.

 

His eyes gleam down with a smile to me as I turn my head back to Doctor Mia.

 

''That's nice.'' she says.

 

 

She reaches over to grab some sort of stick form as I looked to see what was happening. She spreads something lover it.

 

Jacob leans over to watch Doctor Mia, growing with interest.

 

 

''Oh I see,...you're going to put the stick on her belly, with the gel.'' Jacob says with relief in his voice.

 

''Not yet, it's too early to go through the stomach from the outside. Not much to see from there, the baby's still growing so we have to go elsewhere to get a better look.'' she says.

 

 

''What.'' he says silently.

 

''We have to go through the-'' she motions her fingers forward to me.

 

 

A little whistle leaves her mouth, I was fully embarassed.

 

I couldn't be more squeezed into a situation where I felt uncomfortable.

 

And Jacob had to witness it.

 

 

He nods his head as I saw the slight shock and embarassment from his face.

 

''Would you like me to say it? Maybe it'll be more clear to you-'' she asks.

 

''No, no. It's fine. I get it.'' he interuppts.

 

 

''Alright, let's do it.'' she says.

 

As I lay motionless, I could feel the cringe rise in the room.

 

 

To Doctor Mia, this was normal.

 

But to me and Jacob, it was our first time.

 

 

''Oh god.'' My words slip out.

 

It wasn't at all what I expected, it's something else.

 

 

''And if you look to your left Elle,...we can see the fetus.'' Doctor Mia finally says.

 

I could hear the pusling heartbeat of the baby as I looked to the black screen to my left.

 

I leaned up on my elbows to get a closer look.

 

 

It was quite loud but beautiful.

 

 

''That is your baby.'' Doctor Mia says softly.

 

''Wow,...that little thing?'' I reply looking at the screen.

 

''Well it's about the size of a cabbage but, it's pretty little.'' she replies with a smile.

 

 

Cabbage.

 

I smiled as I held onto Jacob's hand, he saw the fetus too.

 

Our little baby was there, and it was growing.

 

 

Doctor Mia moves around in her chair with a little confusion as the moment passes.

 

 

I hear the pusling sound of the heartbeat grow louder.

 

''Huh.'' she says.

 

''What?'' I asked a little scared.

 

 

''It seems, there's a stronger heartbeat. Almost sounds identical to the first.'' she says

 

 

''Identical. What do you mean first?'' I asked with my eyes widened.

 

''Is there something wrong?'' Jacob buds in.

 

 

''No, but you have 2 babies.'' she says abrupt.

 

 

My eyes dart to her expression as she looks to the both of us. She then pulls the stick from me and with the sight of blood leftover, Jacob was clear on the floor.

 

No sound came from the both of us. My eyes stayed widened as my mouth opened.

 

I lean over to where he's passed out on the floor.

 

 

Doctor Mia smiles as she puts the stick back on a sanitary cloth.

 

She turns back to me with a smile as she watched me frozen from the news.

 

 

''So what do you think about twins?'' she asks me silently.

 

-- 

 

The cool air blows by again as I look back to Jacob.

 

He's still shocked, i'm however calm.

 

I turn to look at the passing people. Most of them stared at us, but some just went by without noticing.

 

 

I turn back to Jacob fast.

 

''Are we gonna leave?'' I ask.

 

''No, i'm fine.'' he finally says.

 

 

He leans up from the bench we chose to sit on since we came out of the hopital.

 

I purse my lips and look to the ground, but then my head turns to Jacob again.

 

 

''But are you gonna leave?-'' I start.

 

''Okay, let me get this straight. We're having 2 kids.'' he interuppts.

 

 

"Yup," I hesitantly say.

 

I look to the ground as my eyes began to wonder.

 

''It's...something.'' I start.

 

 

''This is not what I expected." Jacob said.

 

"Actually it's more than what I expected-'' i said with a smile.

 

He scrambles over to me with his finger pointing to me.

 

 

''Are you sure, you're ready for this? Because 1 kid, is just fine. But 2 kids,...2 kids is a handful.'' he replies.

 

He sits back down as he tries to relax again. Deep breaths leave his mouth.

 

 

I thought for a second as I turned away from him. I didn't expect to see such results as 2 kids before.

 

I never imagined having more than 1 kid.

 

 

I wanted kids, but I didn't think of more than 1 on the first pregnancy would exisy.

 

I fully remember saying I want babies, but I never expected 2 at once.

 

 

''Are you ready for this?'' Jacob finally asks.

 

I parted my lips to answer but nothing came out, there was nothing on my mind.

 

No words, just silence.

 

 

Before I can even say anything Jacob gets up from the bench, he exits to the nearby park behind us.

 

I watch him leave as my speechless mind begins to ponder.

 

I don't know what to think right now.

 

 

It's all a little too much.

 

--

 

Jacob's P.O.V

 

 

I walk around nearing a park where I left Elle at the bench. It was oddly weird to just walk around again.

 

Especially since I fell down from the news earlier.

 

I rub the soft part of my head where I hit the hospital floor.

 

 

I had passed out after.

 

I didn't know what to think.

 

 

As I continued to walk, kids run past me as I move aside.

 

 

Even the thought of kids made me anxious.

 

Was I really ready to do this?

 

 

I walk up the leading trail where I come from, to a playground where I see tons of kids running and screaming.

 

It was a wonderland of kids just playing.

 

 

''I don't even know if I like kids that much'' I whisper to myself.

 

''Hey.'' says a person, grabbing my attention.

 

 

I turn around to face the voice.

 

''What are you doing here?'' the man asks.

 

''You're talking to me?'' I respond looking around.

 

 

''Yeah you, if you don't have kids, don't come to the park-'' he starts.

 

''I have kids. But their not born yet. I just found out she's having twins. I saw the ultra sound...'' I trail off.

 

 

I never thought of confessing to a random person that I have kids. It struck me when I said it.

 

The man who stood just near me sighed as a small smile forms on his face.

 

''My name's Aaron, nice to meet you.'' he says.

 

 

 I reach to greet his hand.

 

 

''Everything changes, that's the point of pregnancy.'' he says.

 

 

I had just known this stranger for about a few minutes and I already felt a mutual connection.

 

The way he thinks is fascinating.

 

 

''But to be pregnant with twins? That's too much of a responsibility for me.'' I replied.

 

''Yeah, try 3. Not that much of a struggle.'' he says.

 

 

He looks up ahead at the huge amount of kids playing on the slides and swings.

 

''So where's your kids?'' I ask.

 

 

He points to a bunch of kids in line for a slide.

 

''My oldest, Rose. Then, Cece and over there-'' he trails off.

 

 

Aaron turns to his left where I see a young boy is in a sand box.

 

''That's Ryan.'' he finally says.

 

''Is he eating sand?'' I asked hesitant.

 

 

Aaron's silent for a second, then he turns to me.

 

''Once you get to the third kid,...you don't worry too much.'' he says.

 

 

I took a deep breath as I thought for a second.

 

 

''How did you manage as a single father to raise, 2 girls and 1 boy?'' I asked him.

 

''Let me give you a scenario-'' he starts.

 

 

He turns his full body to me with his hands put in front of me.

 

''It's awful, awful and awful. Then something good happens in between.'' he says.

 

 

His smile begins to fade as he continues.

 

''And then awful, awful....awful. But then something good happens again, you see. I drowning in my own blood and sweat, grasping to get my life back.'' he says.

 

I interuppt the small silence.

 

 

''It's really that hard?'' I ask.

 

''I'm mean the life is great, they;re happy. I'm happy....except for the lack of sleep.'' he says to me.

 

 

I lean down so my head sits onto my lap.

 

''I'm so screwed.'' I replied softly.

 

''Don't worry, it'll be fine. Plus you'll get that happy moment everyone has, while taking care of their kids.'' he finally says.

 

 

Ryan approaches us at the bench we sat on.

 

A small smile finally forms on my face as I saw the drool and sandy hands of Aaron's boy smile too.

 

 

''I guess this would be that moment.'' I said to Aaron.

 

Aaron picks up Ryan to sit on his lap.

 

''Yep, that's it.'' he says.

 

 

Then in that thought, I realized how good they must be.

 

I might have been harsh on Elle about the whole pregnancy.

 

 

I just never expected things to go by so fast.

 

 

''Thanks, for talking to me. I kind of have an idea on what to do now.'' I replied to him.

 

''Okay, good luck.'' Aaron says back.

 

 

From talking with Aaron, I felt a little better about the twins.

 

I didn't mind having a posse of kids with Elle.

 

 

It just took longer for me to understand and now I have to convince Elle i'm still in.

 

All of this pregnancy talk made my mind twist.

 

  

 

I stand up from the bench as my rushed thoughts finally leave my shoulder.

 

Things may be changing so quickly, but it think I can handle it.

 

 

--

  

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

My breath quickened as I started to sit down.

 

The wedding was already starting and I had no idea what i'm going to do.

 

 

''Relax, drink some water. Jacob will be here.'' Rita says.

 

''I'm not freaking out.'' I shot back.

 

''Just relax, he will be here.'' she says.

 

 

I let out a loud sigh as I sit down in a nearby chair.

 

 

The afternoon hazy sun had beat down on the country side of Pennslyvania.

 

It was a beautiful scenary Marybella had set up at one of her dear old friend's house.

 

 

 

''Okay, how do I look?'' Bella asks walking into the room.

 

''You look fine.'' I replied not looking at her.

 

 

''I'm not sure you mean it, I mean this is my wedding.'' Marybella panicked.

 

I turn back to her from my chair and instantly calmed down.

 

 

She never looked more beautiful than ever.

 

Her brown hair shimmered in the light reflecting off the window. I watch her transparent veil rock side to side.

 

 

I finally had my heart rate back to a normal pace.

 

''Marybella-'' I said.

 

 

She turns around to me as I watch her face look with concern.

 

 

Bella was a complete goddess in makeup and dressed head to toe in white.

 

Her mermaid dress flowed all the way down to her feet.

 

 

Marybella's lips pursed as she turned her attention to me.

 

''What?'' she asked.

 

''You look, beautiful. Beautiful.'' I said softly.

 

''Thank you.'' she replies with a smile.

 

 

That smile of her made the knot in the pit of my stomach grow. She was probably one of the most luckiest girls in the world to celebrate this moment.

 

 

And she was getting married today, a few minutes from now exactly.

 

I felt slight tears escape my face.

 

 

One of my best friends was getting married. She had her life perfectly put out.

 

Her soon to be 2 beautiful kids will have the best, wonderful mother ever.

 

 

I let out a quiet sob as she approached me.

 

I've never even took the time to realize she was actually getting married.

 

 

It all hit me at once. The moment and the timing.

 

 

''Don't cry Elle.'' she says to me.

 

I lean fowards covering my face.

 

 

Tears begin to escape as U tried to hold them back.

 

''I'm just so happy for you, and it's probably everything you've ever wanted.'' I replied.

 

''I know-'' she says.

 

 

Her cool hands touch my face as I look up at her, she kneels down to my eye level.

 

''Oh, don't do that, you'll ruin the dress.'' I said trying to get her back up.

 

''I don't care, it's just a silly pretty dress. It doesn't making the wedding more spectacular. It's the cake-'' she says.

 

 

A little laughter left my mouth as I wiped the tears with my back hand.

 

''Look, Elle. I promise you, you'll have this moment too. Okay?'' she said.

 

 

She leans up as I wipe the tears, I felt a little better.

 

Now that I heard those words.

 

 

The door of the private room we were in, opens as we look to see who it is.

 

''Wedding in 10 minutes.'' says the wedding planner.

 

 

She closes the door right after. Bella turns to me as expected.

 

 

''Well, it's gonna happen. I'm getting married.'' she said nervously.

 

I stand up
