Who Is Pregnant With My Child?
Baby Twins

John talks to me a lot. She even told me not to care what gender my baby was, be it a boy or a girl everything would be fine for me. And he said that our walk this time was the best way for him to say goodbye to me.

I knew that I would miss him so much and he himself also turned out to tell me that he would definitely miss me. Hearing her confession from him made my heart beat so fast.

After a long day of walking, John drove me home. He gave me a lightning kiss on my lips and then on my cheek. I don't know what to act like. I could just get out of his car and look at his departure. Calling him back would be very difficult for me. I don't even know what to say. But obviously, I know that I will miss him a lot.

...****************...

A few weeks passed...

Time passed, and today I was sitting in the waiting room of a hospital with Mama and Olivia. I'm waiting for the doctor to call my name for a check-up.

I'm a 17-year-old girl and I have to wait in the waiting room of a gynecological hospital. Of course it made me feel ashamed, let alone look at every cynical look that people gave me. But I had no other choice because I did have to check up according to the schedule given by the doctor. Moreover, I have never done an ultrasound on my pregnancy.

According to Mama and several pregnancy books that I have read every day, I should indeed have to do ultrasound in the first trimester of my pregnancy. Unfortunately, I have never done it because of my work. And it turns out this is very bad because my gestational age is now four and a half months but I have never done any ultrasound on my pregnancy.

That means John's been gone for a month. He called me a few times when I was at Olivia's house. So I started talking to him and he said he was fine there.

I got some parcels sent by her just before I left the house this morning and what was inside those parcels she gave me made me cry. I blame the hormones in my body for being a pregnant woman. But Mama said I can't blame it for any reason.

In the parcel sent by John there are five baby outfits that are white, yellow and orange. There is also a teddy bear doll holding a heart that reads 'mammy's baby.'

I woke up from my daydream when my name was called by the nurse. I stood up and followed the nurse. While Mama and Olivia followed me from behind. While we were in the room, I looked around the comfortable room. I sat down on a chair close to the doctor's desk and faced the doctor. Mama and Olivia were both sitting in a chair across the room.

Just as I was sitting comfortably, a doctor came into the room. I recognize the doctor. She was the same doctor two and a half months ago who told me I was pregnant. He smiled at me, of course, because he recognized me. I returned her smile and felt a little more relaxed than a few minutes ago.

"Adel I haven't seen you in all this time! How are you and your baby?" Ask the doctor with a happy looking face.

"Good, as always the doctor." My reply was to smile at him.

The doctor asked me what I was here for and I told him I was checking in as usual. The doctor then started telling me how to be a responsible parent and after that the doctor asked me to get on the bed and remove my clothes.

I did what the doctor asked and looked at my stomach that was starting to bulge. Some people have guessed that I'm pregnant now but there's no one to make me feel that hard and that's what makes me feel so grateful.

"Alright, now let's meet this junior of yours." Said the doctor while putting the gel liquid on my stomach.

It was my baby that I got in one night with a stranger and even until now I have not known who that person is.

I saw my baby, my baby already had a heart, legs, fingers and toes. I felt so relieved and even happy when I knew I was doing the right thing and it made everything different.

"Wait a minute." Said the doctor.

I started to panic and thought if something bad happened, is my baby okay?

"I have some shocking news for you Adel." The doctor said, smiling at me.

With that smile of his, I felt that what he was about to say might not be a bad thing.

"Look here." Said the doctor while showing something on the monitor screen. "This is the heart of your baby and if you look this way....." The doctor said again pointing towards the other side of the screen. "This is also your baby's heart." Follow that doctor again.

"Oh my God...." I'm yelling. "My baby has two hearts." I said so surprised.

Suddenly everyone in the doctor's room laughed at me. I got so confused because it wasn't a funny situation at all.

"Oh my God Adel, you're so stupid. I think what the doctor meant was, you have two babies which means you're pregnant with twins. It's not like your baby has two hearts." Olivia mocked me.

But he seemed to be trying not to laugh at me anymore.

'Two twins? My God, all this feels so beautiful and sweet.'

"If this helps you...." Said the doctor. "Twin pregnancy usually declines from the genes of its parents. The father of this baby may have twins." continued the doctor.

I'm starting to think about anyone who has a twin brother. I was so confused and I didn't even realize how pale Olivia's face looked as her eyes turned towards me.

'What's wrong with her?' my thinking.

Seriate....
