My thoughts were cut off when a light thumping sound filled the room. One look at the screen and I forgot about everything else. What I was seeing was much more shocking than any secret society revelations. I had to blink twice, just to make sure what I thought was there… was really there.
“Both heartbeats are strong.”
My wide eyes flew to the doctor, and then back at the monitor, where two babies were displayed. Not one baby with two arms and legs, but two! Four tiny little hands and feet moving around and stretching. I felt it then. The jab coming from inside. A small little kick from one of the two children I was carrying. Not one, but two.
Two!
With my mouth hung open, I looked up at Parker, hoping he’d offer some comforting words. This was what he said he would do. That I was his to protect. Well, he needed to protect me. Like, right now.
“Parker?”
His face was all lit up with a gigantic smile. “It’s twins, baby.”
Yeah, I know, I can see that. Fix it!
“Congratulations,” Doctor Creswell said.
Congratulations? Really? That’s all he had to say? I couldn’t breathe. My heart was pounding so hard in my chest that I couldn’t make my lungs work. Two babies. Two! How was I supposed to take care of two babies, when I was terrified of raising one. I couldn’t do this.
That’s it, I quit. Where’s the tap out button? I need a redo.
Mr. Creswell looked back at the screen and asked, “Would you like to know the sexes?”
I didn’t get a chance to answer, because the black that started to bleed into my vision, won.
Chapter 14
Parker
Iwas too excited to sleep last night. Today my family is set to move in. I spent all day yesterday setting up the house. Got the furniture moved in, (blue, Lana’s favorite color,) and set our bedroom up. The nurseries would have to wait. Or, should I say, I was informed they would have to wait by my sister. I think Ava was happier than I was when I told her my angel was having twins. A boy and a girl. One of each.
Logan called me an overachiever, what could I say? I knew how to get shit done. First try and I got one of each. While Preston couldn’t care less, my dad was ecstatic. Like Ava, he was currently out shopping. He wanted to find something to welcome Lana to the family. As far as he was concerned, that’s what she was now. What did my mother think? Didn’t really care. I hadn’t even told her about the twins, because fuck her. Today I was getting everything I’d ever wanted. Not even Lilliana Whitley could ruin my mood.
The only thing I was worried about was my girl. Lana passed out yesterday. Went limp, right there in the doctor’s office. As I watched her eyes roll to the back of her head, I felt my heart stop. I’d never been so scared in my life. Silas’s dad assured me that she was fine. She simply fainted from the shock. Didn’t stop me from babying her like some pussy whipped motherfucker for hours after. I took her out for her favorite burger at Mae’s, and refused to leave her side until she was tucked safely in her bed.
If my friends had seen that shit, I’d never live it down. The weird part was, I’d do it again. I’d pamper my perfect little angel in front of the whole world. Rub her shoulders, stroke her hair, or wash her feet. Whatever the fuck she wanted, and everyone else could suck a dick. I loved taking care of her.
I steered my truck down the bumpy road that led to my angel’s house. Tonight I’d get to take care of some of her other needs. I couldn’t wait to feel her pussy again. Walls tightly squeezing my shaft. Grunting, I shifted my hard on. My dick had been in a permanent rock like state for weeks now.
I hadn’t fucked anyone since the night I’d fucked her. Didn’t see a point in it. No one could live up to her, so why bother with the disappointment? Well, I hadn’t fucked any girls. Bent a couple guys over, but those pricks were asking for it.
“Here we are,” I said, parking my truck in front of the little yellow house.
They didn’t have much in the way of money, but I had to hand it to Lana’s Nan. She took great care of the place. The yard was neatly cut, with a small vegetable garden on the side, and red flowers planted around the deck. Simple, but pretty.
I stepped out and stared at a tire swing hanging off a nearby tree. I used to hide in the bushes and watch Lana sway back and forth through the air. Hair trailing in a black wave behind her. Now we could watch our little girl swing on it.
Her grandpa caught me once. It was just after she’d gotten my dick hard for the first time. I was about eleven. Thought the old fucker was going to tan my ass. Instead, he took me for a walk and explained how he carefully tended his garden. How important it was to pluck out the weeds and make sure the flowers had enough nutrients to grow. Though I didn’t get his meaning at the time, that conversation always stuck with me.
Time to get my flower.
One step was all I made before an old goat came running around the corner, and bashed his head into my nuts. My insides twisted as I clutched my aching ball sac and dropped to my knees.
“Motherfucker.”
“Bah!” the goat spat back at me.
Holy fuck, that goat could hit! Pretty sure if I coughed too hard, I’d taste my own spunk. Mental note, goat head beats knee.
