The Pregnant Teens? by totalgingerr (essential reading txt) 📕

same time. Because we both found out that we were pregnant just a day apart.
This was all so ironic, and it was hard to wrap my mind around all the irony. Oh well, it would all fall into place sooner than I expect I suppose.
I pulled into the park’s parking lot, and quickly spotted Scarr and Kammi sitting on the playground up the hill. I smiled and waved to them, they saw me and Kyle and I started to walk towards them. When we got there, Scarlet got off the playground and skipped to hug me. I hugged her back tightly, and giggled. This was the first time we had seen each other since the news. Kyle and Kammi gave each other a manly hug and then stared at the two pregnant teens that were me and Scarr.
“Okay, so now we’re here. Will you please tell us what is going on?” Kyle announced.
“Okay, boys. Each of you knows something the other one doesn’t; and we are going to tell you.” Scarlet spoke and smiled at me.
“I’m pregnant.” Scarlet and I said at the exact same time.
Both boys gawked with their mouths wide open. Scarlet and I stepped towards them and pushed their jaws back up so that they wouldn’t drool on themselves.
“You’re pregnant too!?” Kammi exclaimed.
“Yep, found out today actually.” I smiled.
“And Scarr, you’re pregnant also?” asked Kyle.
“Yep, found out yesterday!”
Kammi and Kyle were still staring in disbelief at the two of us. I guess they couldn’t wrap their minds around it either.
“So you’re both pregnant at the same time? When are your due dates?” Kammi asked.
“March 16th.” Scarr and I said simultaneously.
We stared at each other, wide-eyed and laughed.
“This isn’t a coincidence anymore Scarlet. This is fate.” I said and turned to hug her tightly.
The rest of the day was spent discussing what our arrangements were going to be for the little ones. We thought of names, and decided that we all needed to make space in our houses. So the rest of the summer was going to be spent cleaning house. We also decided that our children were going to be the best of friends; exactly like Scarr and I.

Babies - Two hearts, four parents.

*9 months later*

“Kyle!” I yelled downstairs.
He came running upstairs in a worried state.
“What is it? Are you okay? What’s wrong?” he asked frantically.
“It’s time.” I said calmly.
Kyle knew exactly what I was talking about and rushed to get a bag and get me downstairs, so he could take me to the hospital.
Elsewhere…
“KAMMI, IT’S FUCKING TIME!” Scarlet yelled.
“Oh, oh, oh my god. Okay, uhm. What do you need, a bag of clothes? Baby clothes! Sheesh. Do we need the car seat yet?” Kammi was more frantic than Kyle was at this point.
Scarlet looked at him with the death stare and said very calmly; “Help me out of this bed and take me to the damn hospital. You can come back for the rest of the stuff later. The baby is coming Kammi.”
Back with me.
“Okay ma’am, one last push! Oh. I see the head. That’s it, you’re doing great.” As soon as the doctor said this, I felt my baby come out. I looked down and saw the bloodiest baby I had ever seen in my life.
“It’s a boy.” The doctor warmly smiled at me, and handed me my baby boy, Zachary.
In the next room, I could hear another woman giving birth. I heard the same things that were said to me, and then what startled me was that the woman that was giving birth had a baby boy also. I heard the woman’s voice, and I asked the doctor to pull back the curtain for a second. Sure enough, it was Scarlet! She had a baby boy too!
“Scar, what are you naming him?” I asked and smiled at her.
“Zerek.” She smiled at me and then at the little baby she was holding in her arms.
So in the end, Scarlet and I both had beautiful healthy baby boys, and everything was good. Kyle and I were over at Scarlet’s house all the time with Zachary. Zerek and Zachary grew up to be brothers whereas mine and Scarlet’s friendship kept growing and growing. Kammi and Kyle proposed to Scarlet and I on the same day and we all got married in one day. So I guess everything we do is ironic, huh?
