The big question: are you pregnant?

Yes

As the weeks go by, you hope and you pray that you didn't get pregnant. You try to live your life as normally as possible. Swims out to the Reefs and your favorite shipwrecks, working your new job at the boat marina, and enjoying time with your dad distracts you. But when you're lying in bed, you can't help but rest your hand on your belly. Some part of you knows that a baby is in there, despite it being too early to tell.

Just before the school year starts, you finally bite the bullet and take a pregnancy test. You use the whole box over the course of the day and the answer is always the same: you're pregnant.

After the last test flashes at you, you feel the weight of the whole situation crash down on you. Staring at the test, you let out a loud sob before sinking to the floor. You clutch your belly as you begin to rock on the floor. Part of you had known this would happen, but the part of you that had been denying it... Well, the entire world might as well be ending to that part.

Sitting there, your mind races with all the things you need to do now. You have to get in with your doctor and have him confirm the pregnancy. Then you have to prepare for this baby. It's gonna need a room and so much stuff. And in a few months, you're gonna have to push it out and actually raise it.

A hand on your back makes you panic, but a few minutes of gentle rubs and reassurances you come back to yourself. It's your dad. He's very obviously concerned. "Come here baby." he says, holding out his arms, "It's okay. Daddy's here."

You sob before launching yourself into his arms. He holds you tightly as you cry. You thought you had gotten over this, had accepted that this was a possibility... Well, you guess not.

Eventually you calm down and your dad puts you to bed. He takes charge, setting up a doctor's appointment and makes you a good meal when you wake up. He keeps you calm, reassuring you that he wouldn't let you go through this on your own. He goes with you to your appointment the next day and never lets go of your hand. You're so grateful for that... especially when the doctor does the ultrasound...

You can't look away. Inside of you are two little blobs. "Congrats Mr. Swift," the doctor says, completely oblivious to your shock, "It's twins!"

You're pregnant. With twins. What now?
