Rejected And Pregnant

Episode 12

“Mama”I hear a whisper in my ears

I groan and turn away from the sound.

“Mama wake up”another voice giggled.

“I don’t want to”I mumble pouting with my eyes still closed.

“Come on Mama, Aunty Mi na is waiting for us” 4

“Mi na is probably sleeping like a normal person”I mumble again but manage to open my eyes only to see my twins staring at me.

I look at clock on my bedside table to see the time to see it’s 6am. I was training until 2am so I didn’t get any sleep until 3am.

Facing my twins I say “you know when you guys are teenagers you would regret not sleeping in”

Off course the ignore me and start laughing pointing at my blond hair.

“Mama has big hair”my son says to my daughter making her break in to a fit of laughter.

“Mama is tired and would love for you guys to sleep in”I mumble to myself.

I sigh sitting up and dragging my twins to my lap before attacking them with kisses and tickling them.

“Mama stop–stooooop”the laugh out trying to get away from me.

When I see their faces turn red, I decided to give them mercy and get up for my beautiful bed and I look back longingly. Carrying one twin on my chest and the other on my back, I take them to the kitchen. 1

“So, what do we want for breakfast?”I ask as I place each one on their stool.

“Pancake pancake”they yell. 1

“Mmm say what? Can’t hear you?”I say dramatically cupping my ears promoting them to yell louder. 30

“Alright jeez. No need to yell”I grin.

“Can I have chocolate chip and strawberry with mine?”my daughter Lily asks

My son Cameron yells “can I have chocolate and”he stops to think before saying “ice cream?”

Lily looks at Cameron like he is a genius “me too Mama” 18

“It’s too early to eat ice cream so I could give you guys whipped cream instead”

They pout crossing their arms before glaring at me like I’m the enemy. Perhaps I am. 10

There isn’t a day I don’t think about telling their father about them. It’s so unfair to keep them away from the father. I know how much my father meant to me. Before he disappeared, I had the best relationship with him. I want that for my children but I’m afraid, even with my powers and my strength. I’m afraid that he would reject them like he did to me. Without even thinking about it. I don’t want that for my children. I don’t want my children to know that their father doesn’t want them. I know how it feels for that one persons who is supposed to be yours and love you unconditionally to reject you like your a piece of dirt. 31

Like everyday, I convince myself that I’m doing the right thing. 6

They look like their father a lot. They have his dark hair, his tan skin, glare and smile. How can I not think about him everyday when it seems like I’m staring at him everyday.

I will tell them the truth about their father and when they reach a age where they are old enough to decide what they want to do, they have my blessing to contact him. However right now, they are mine and my responsibility. It’s my duty to protect them from pain that might be caused if they find out their father wants nothing to do with them.

“Mama can we watch cartoons while we eat”

I look at both my kids giving me a puppy eye. Damn it, they know I got in for the puppy eye, I barely make it out alive. I hate being the bad cop sometimes but I have to or they would just walk over me and my good cop would just allow it.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

“Absolutely not! Don’t you give me the puppy eyes, you guys know you are not allowed.”

“what if we prwmse to eat, mummy”

“Yes Ben 10 is on now Mama plwase”

Don’t fall for it again, don’t fall for it again. Today is a new day and yesterday is in the past. You are a strong independent woman, a great mother and awesome. Don’t break, don’t break.

“Alright then”I hear myself say.

Damn it I fell for it again. Before I could take it back and tell them I’m kidding or say you can watch tv as soon as they finish. The twins took their plates and went to the living room to switch the tv on, deserting me in the kitchen.

“Well that went well” I mutter to myself.

Why do I even bother?

-they are good kids Charlie. They respect you and listen to you without you even scowling at them. That takes talent.- 1

You are right snowy.

Now if only I can get them to eat whilst watching tv, mission would be accomplished. 1

---

“Aunty Charlie”I hear Liam yell whilst running to me.

I catch him in my arm and lift him up. I attack him with kisses which makes him squeal and giggle. I put him down after leaving a quick kiss on his forehead.

Mi na made me his godmother and I honestly love him like a mother would a son. Even though he is only 4, you could see he would be a great leader.

“Where is your mum?”I asked Liam.

“In the kiwchen”he says before grabbing Cameron hand and running towards what I believe is the back garden.

“Hey! Wait up”Lily yells chasing after them which prompt the boys to laugh and run faster. 2

I shook my head and walked towards the kitchen.

Mi na, my favourite person in the whole world was in the kitchen, on top of counter, on her back, mouth open, sleeping. 32

Dylan my third best friend and one of my favourite people in the whole wide world, was leaning over her, trying his hardest to not blow out laughing whilst he draws on her beautiful face.

His shoulders are shaking with laughter and I’m stuck on my spot because I don’t even know what to do right now.

“What on earth are you doing?”I hiss out in a whisper which startles Dylan a bit.

“Shhhh”

Mi na moves to her side, stopping him from completing his master piece on that same side and Dylan send me a glare.

“She’s going to kill you”I mutter before going to the fridge to get myself a beer. 14

I’m driving to I’m going to have to stop at 1.

“I know”he silently chuckles.

This man does not learn his lesson. There isn’t a day these two don’t argue. They are literally Tom and Jerry. If Tom and Jerry was created now, I would have sworn the characters were inspired by them.

Oh wells, this chase is entertaining therefore it’s a win for me.

“I’m at the back, if you need me”I call out before making my way to the back garden where my babies were probably playing hide and seek.

I sat at the bench swing, drinking my beer whilst watching the twins and Liam. 2

After awhile the twins and Liam walk to me. I tuck the boys to my side and Lily curls to my lap. Before I knew it, they were taking a nap. It seems just as they started their nap, Mi na finished hers.

She walks into the back garden, looks around before her eyes stop at mine. She grins when she sees me and walks towards me.

I stayed seated, trying to contain my laughter as I look at Dylan master piece on her faces. He even drew on one of her front tooth making her grin even funnier. I didn’t want to wake up the kids but I felt like I was going to blow out a loud laugh.

I switched my gaze from her to my daughter. Her one of chubby cheeks is resting on my chest and one of her hands has a strong grip on my shirt. 1

“I’m so sorry that I slept. Liam was a pain in my ass late night and his father wasn’t any better. I think I put Liam to his own bed like 100 times and he still ended up sleeping with us. When you look at him, you would think he’s angel but don’t let his big eyes, soft curly hair and pouty lips fool you. That kid is his fathers son”she says shaking her head. 1

“Yup.”I agree still avoiding her eyes.

“Listen Mi na…you face-“

I start to tell my best friend what Dylan done but Cole who I haven’t even notice entering yells “what the fuck happened to your face” 10

The kids move a bit. I see Cameron open his eyes a bit before closing them back.

“What’s wrong with my face?”she asks touching her face.

“Let’s put the kids in bed before we answer that question”I say before Cole could even open his mouth.

Cole nods before grabbing Cameron, Mi na picks up her son and I stand up with Lily in my arm. Cole leads us to one of the guest room before dropping them all to the bed, taking off their shoes, placing pillows around them so they don’t fall off the bed. Lily is a wild sleeper, could kick anyone off the bed. 18

When we leave the room, Mi na goes to the bathroom downstairs and starts screaming “DYLAN” 4

Cole and I look at each other with a matching wince.

“That guy doesn’t learn”he mutters.

I know what you mean bro.

Mi na runs out to his room but he isn’t there. He left a note saying

“I hope you love my art piece. Please treat with care, it is one of my best piece. It’s a wonderful gift from me to you. Happy birthday darling” 21

“It’s not even my birthday”she snaps.

She looks up at her husband.

“You better find a new beta because he is as good as gone”she spat out. 5

“Right on it honey”he says before pulling her for a hug and starts laughing. 1

“It’s not funny Cole”

“No darling. Not funny at all” he replies before all of us start to laugh.
