I held onto my decision for two weeks. I know that sounds horrible, but I had to make sure that I was certain in my decision. I didn’t have sex with the guys, becuase that felt horrible knowing I was going to break up with one of them. I had also done something kind of big without telling the guys. I just thought it was the best decision. No one knew I had made a real decision. I didn’t want to jinx it like last time. I just kept going about my life, making sure that who I chose was who I really wanted. Every single night I went to sleep, my choice was confirmed. I knew who I wanted and it was time to tell everyone else too.The babies were asleep and we were having lunch. “Can I talk to you guys about something?” I asked. “Of course,” Grayson put his phone down. “What’s up?” Lee questioned. “So…I did something. Um…I had the house across the street bought.” I announced. “What? Why?” “How?” Grayson asked. “Both of your parents, actually.”“So…why did you do that babe?” “So,
“Lee, I will never forgive you!” “Don’t be like this Scarlett.” “You are completely out of line!” “He’s my son!” Lee exclaimed. “He’s mine too!” I shot back. “You had no right to do this!” “Oh get over it!” “Hey, what’s going on?” Grayson asked, entering the room. “Look what he did to my son!” I whined. Grayson looked into the playpen and saw that Julian had a mohawk. Grayson laughed. “Woah buddy, you look great!” I gasped. “No, he looks crazy!” “I told you, Scar, he looks good.” Lee said smugly. “He really wanted it too.” “He’s three years old, he doesn’t know what he wants!” “You told me to get him a haircut. You said it was a father and son thing and I did it!” “I didn't know you were going to bring me back a punk rock child!” I groaned. “What happened to my prince?” “Mommy!” Julian smiled. “Look my hair!” “See, he loves it, Scarlett. It’s gonna grow back anyways.” Lee said. I sighed as I picked Julian up. “I guess you’re so handsome, you can pull it off.” “Do
Times up.I looked down at the stick on the counter and wanted to vomit. Two lines. Crap. “I think I should take another one in a few hours,” I stated. “Scarlett…honey we’ve taken like four already today,” My sober buddy, and trusted friend Skyler winced. “I think we can say it’s positive.”“No! Th-they could all be faulty! There’s just no way. I’m gonna get a blood test.”“You already had one, that’s how we became aware of such a predicament.”“They could be wrong though!” I exclaimed. “And they are. Because they have to be. Because I cannot do this.”Skyler nervously tugged at her purple hair and her big brown eyes looked at me with utter concern. Her dark brown skin crinkled on her nose before she spoke. "Alright, then we should do a blood test.”“Yes. And then when it’s negative, I can call Grayson and Lee back and tell them who I would like to be with. Easy as pie!”“Who did you pick, by the way?” Skyler asked eagerly.“I can’t tell you, it’ll jinx it! Last time I almost told
“What?” Lee asked. “Why would you ask her that?”“There’s a bunch of tests in the bathroom trash and they all have two lines.” Grayson answered. “Scar? Are you pregnant?”“Just like a little bit,” I answered. “What is a little bit?!”“Like a month.”“Scarlett!” Lee exclaimed. “You’ve been pregnant for a month and didn’t tell either of us?!”“Ugh…I just found out a few days ago! The day I had finally made a decision! And that’s why I was so weird and asked you guys to leave." I rushed out. “Why wouldn’t you tell us?” Grayson demanded. “I told her to,” Skyler commented. “Sky really?” I asked. “Sorry, I’ll just sip my wine.”“Well, who is the father?” Lee asked. “Is it me? I know this is sooner than we wanted kids, but this could be amazing.”“Or it’s me right?” Grayson asked. “I mean I’ve always wanted kids with you. We’ve talked about this a million times.”I felt awful that they were both so excited. “I don’t know,” I whispered. “I have no idea. And I was gonna do a paternity te
I think I passed out. When I woke up the three men were looking at me in concern. “You okay Scar?” Lee asked. “Yeah, it’s just I had this crazy dream-like thing that Dr. Conner said I was having twins!” “That was real, babe,” Grayson informed me.“Twins?! God, I have the worst luck!” I groaned. “But they’re so beautiful,” Grayson whispered, his eyes on the monitor. I looked at it again and sighed. He was right.They were so beautiful.--So I was carrying two peanuts inside of me. That was exciting and horrifying. However, how cool was it to get two kids over with in one go? I didn’t have to have any more after this! Oh, but what if I have two girls and then I want a boy? Or two boys and I crave a little mini me? What if both of these kids sucked and I wanted to try for one good one?The possibilities were kind of endless. “There’s something different about you,” My good friend Lincoln Ellison commented, peering over his designer glasses. “You simultaneously look like crap and
“I’m pregnant.”“Whore!”“Skyler!” I exclaimed. “You’re supposed to be helping me!”“Sorry, but wouldn’t your dad sound like that?”“I guess, but…ugh what if I just didn’t say anything?”“Scar, let me paint you a picture. You go to your Dad’s house for dinner, having already told your mother to also come. It’s time to pour drinks and you say ‘no thank you’ and everyone looks at you like you’re insane. There are two possible questions that will be asked. One, ‘are you pregnant?’. Two, ‘are you back on drugs?’.” Skyler explained. “Huh.” I grunted. “So no matter what you would have to reveal that your stomach is being occupied by two little trust fund babies.”“This is why you’re my friend,” I nodded. “You tell it like it is.”“That’s what I’m here for. So nut up and tell your parents you’re pregnant. Invite the boys to make the blow softer.”“Now that’s not a bad idea at all! My mom loves those boys! Skyler, you’re brilliant, do you know that?”“I do. So tell me something I don’t know
I thought telling my parents was going to be bad enough.Now I was sitting at brunch with the Wrenfords and the Windsors and I couldn’t even have any mimosas. “So, I hear you guys have been having me followed,” I declared. “It was just for your own good, Scarlett.” Belinda Wrenford assured me. “You know we worry about you. We wanted to make sure that you’re not relapsing.”“Well I definitely won’t be doing that in the next eight months!”No one laughed. Whatever that was funny as hell.“So when will we find out who the father of these children are?” Hal Windsor asked.“In a few days, and then this whole mess will be over. I will be with the father of my children.” I said firmly. “How have you been Scarlett?” Ninette Windsor questioned. “Are you keeping up with your prenatals and getting enough rest?”“I’m really trying, just with whole situation and work-”“Well you’re going to be quitting your job right?” Alistair Wrenford asked. “Um not at all. How am I supposed to pay for thin
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuuck!”Lee and Grayson looked at me like I was insane. “Yeah, I thought that you would be your reaction,” Dr. Conner stated. “No, this isn’t…it’s not possible!” I cried. “Actually it is…what are you doing right now? Can the three of you come to the hospital, I feel that we should discuss this in person.” “Yes, please, because this doesn’t make any sense at all to me!”“Okay, just breathe and come now.”I hung up.“So?” Lee asked. “We gotta go to the hospital.”I would let Dr. Conner share the news with them, because if I did it, I might puke.***“No! That’s impossible!” Grayson exclaimed. “There’s no way!” Lee shouted.“Gentlemen, please calm down and let me explain,” Dr. Conner said soothingly. They took a deep breath and nodded. “This is very possible and it has happened before. It’s called heteropaternal superfecundation.”“Try saying that five times fast!” I laughed hysterically.“Basically Scarlett released multiple eggs during ovulation and you each fertil
