Second Heartbeat Novels & Stories

So, the joy of freeing my loyal people around me and giving them the freedom is what made me much jovial than anything else. I was looking the documents of the company, when my chest started to hurt. I am half dead person and my heartbeat beats slower than that of the regular human being. Slower means really slower. It is like ten beats per minute. But, the pace of my heart started to beat faster and I don’t know the reason of the quick pace of my heartbeat. I rushed to the secret mirror from where I could peek at almost any one who was close to me. It’s like a modern CCTV but this one is more powerful than that.

She smiled at me and turned to look at the monitor. I heard their heartbeat. Holy mother of god! I heard the heartbeat of one baby when she was placed on one side of the stomach and when she was placed on the other, another baby's heart sound was heard. My heart skipped several beats and I forgot to breathe. The only sound I heard was their heartbeat. I could feel them.

Both of my hearts appeared to have slowed dramatically. I put my hand on my chest Thump. … … Thump. I then put my hand on my lower stomach. Thump. … … Thump. Finally, without even a small difference, both of my hearts began to beat in the same rhythm simultaneously!

I definitely couldn’t dwell on that at the moment. Breathing deeply seemed to be helping. I checked my heart rate again and saw that it was falling. Normally, my resting heartbeat is slow, like 50 bpm, so it had been working a lot harder than usual. I was glad I hadn’t tried to take Eliza’s exact footage and stick it in Cadence’s mind without building it from my own memory because who knows what that might’ve done to me.

I practicallyyelled panic taking over. "Nothing is wrong Alpha, there is two heart beats; it appears you are having twins!" I didn't hear anything else, the room went dark.

I couldn't even recognize why my heart has gone wild now for the nth time. It's not just that each beat is fast and loud. Erratic, chaotic, slow then suddenly speeding up, and very strong. I could hear every heartbeat as if I was wearing a stethoscope that was directly opposite my heart and meant to let me hear what kind of effect Waldo had on my heart. "Waldo..." I mumbled.

That night, Raven barely slept as her dreams were filled with whispers, overlapping voices, the sound of dripping water, and faint heartbeats echoing in the dark. When she opened her eyes, it was still midnight. But the sound was still there. Thump. Thump. She froze. It wasn’t her heartbeat. It was louder, heavier, echoing through her veins. She pressed a trembling hand to her chest one heartbeat. Then lower, to her abdomen, there was another. Both beating in perfect rhythm. She gasped softly, a mix of awe and terror flooding her chest. “Two…” she whispered. “Two heartbeats.” But as the realization dawned, that she had two heartbeats that belonged to her unborn babies, a dark chill passed th

"Her mother." The mountain heartbeat returned. THUM. The woman in gray smiled. And somewhere far above them, something enormous opened its eyes. THUM. Selene felt a second heartbeat answer from inside her chest. Caelan heard it too. His face went white. "No..." Selene pressed a trembling hand against her heart. "Why is my heart beating twice?" The woman whispered: "Because one of them..." She looked directly at Selene. "...isn't yours."

A few more adjustments on the machine… then the doctor squinted. “Hmm.” Dante’s hand tightened instantly. “What is it?” “One moment,” the doctor said, moving the transducer slightly to the right. Rose’s pulse jumped. “Doctor?” Then the doctor smiled—big and warm. “Ah. There we are. No need to worry. It’s just… unexpected.” Dante’s brows pulled together. “Explain.” The doctor pointed to the monitor. “Don… There are two heartbeats.” Rose blinked. “Two?”

PETER The resting heart rate of a healthy twenty-four-year-old male under zero physical exertion should register between sixty and seventy beats per minute. At 1:42 AM, my thoracic telemetry module registered a sustained baseline of eighty-four. I stood motionless before the floor-to-ceiling structural glass panels of my private study, my hands clasped rigidly behind the small of my back. Sixty stories below, the arterial grid of Seattle stretched out like a sprawling, illuminated circuit board, its cold white and amber neon tendrils bleeding into the black vacuum of Elliott Bay. The glass before me reflected a flawless, near-photographic image of my own physical frame—the sharp, unbending l
