Changes, of many kinds
5 months later and I am still going on strong. Everything is going well and the baby is just fine. today is one of the most exciting doctors appointments, we are finding out the sex of the baby. Beau had stayed in our guest room last night, because mom wanted him to get used to staying here once in a while. I noticed he is really stubborn when you try to wake him up.
"Beau, get up!" I yelled into the spare bedroom.
"Urgg." he groaned.
"Get up! We have a doctors appointment today! Get your butt out of bed!" I yelled back at him, slightly irritated.
"Omigosh! That's right. I'll be out in a second." He replied.
"Okay, but hurry up!"
Ten minutes later Beau and I were to the doctors office.
"Hello, how may I help you today?" the receptionist asked me.
"Hi, my name is Anna Marshall. I have an appointment with Dr. Fisher today."
"Okay," she said as she checked the computer. "Okay, I will let them know that you are here."
"Thankyou," I replied.
We waited in the waiting room for about 10-15 minutes.
"Anna Marshall?" the nurse called.
"Yes?" I replied.
"Come with me please. Dr. Fisher is ready to see you," the nurse informed us.
We walked into the office, I took a seat on the bed and Beau sat across the room.
"Hello Anna, you look wonderful," Dr. Fisher said as he entered the room.
"Hello, and thank you. I'm pretty anxious for today's appointment. We will be ab le to find out what we are having, right?" I asked nervously.
"That is the plan. Well why don't you lay down and we will get started."
The usual routine started. I layed down and pulled my shirt off of my belly. Dr. Fisher started with the ultrasound and explained everything to us like usual, like where the baby's head is.
"Well, do you guys want to know what you are having?" Dr. Fisher asked us.
"Please!" Beau said excitedley.
"Well, by the looks of it, the two of you will be welcoming not only one, but two little girls into this world."Dr. Fisher explained. "I can't believe we didn't see this before, but Anna it looks like you are having twins."
"WHAT?! Twins? Are you insane? Omigosh, twins. Beau can you believe it? We are having twin girls!" I said, way to suprised to be excited.
Uh-huh were the only words that came out of Beau's mouth. I have no idea what to expect from him. I mean one baby was enough, but two at the same time. I don't know if he is going to stay or go.
"Thank you doctor. Is that all?" Beau asked, calm and polite.
"Yup, that's all. I will see you guys in 2 weeks. I am going to change your visits to twice a month, instead of once, because I want to make sure that the babies are okay. Is that alright with you?" Dr Fisher asked.
"Yeah, that sounds great. Thank you again." I said to Dr. Fisher as I left the room.
We left the office, after making an appointment for two weeks later. The whole ride home Beau didn't say a word to me. When we got to my house I switched the car off and turned towards him.
"Let me out." He said blankly.
"Excuse me?" I replied, angrily.
"I said, Let Me Out!" He said, harsher than he needed to.
"NO! We need to talk. You didn't say a single word the whole ride home. What is going on with you? Everytime we get big news you either freak out and apologize, or you freak out and leave. I don't want to lose you. You know how hard it's gonna be for me to carry twins for the next 3 months, and then raise them?" I practically yelled at him.
"You? You think its going to be hard? Think about me. I have to raise twins and I am only 17. You know this is all your fault too. You're the one who wanted to take the next step, I just couldn't say know to the one person I loved!"
"Wow, you know what? I'm done. I am so done with you and your selfish self. You haven't had to carry twins in your body for 6 months! I love you so much and don't want to lose you just because we are having one more kid then expected, but if you are gonna stress me out all the time. And this is sooo not my fault. You are the one who said 'oh we're wasting time lets just skip using protection'" I replied, on the verge of tears.
"I need to go. Let me out." He said, blankly.
"What the hell is your issue? Did you not here a word I just said?"
"I need to go home. Let me out." He said, again blankly.
"Fine, you can walk home if you're gonna be like that or you can pull the stick out of your ass and tell me what the hell is going on!" I yelled, giving him an ultimatum.
"I'll see you tomorrow at school," He said, getting out of the car.
"Fine," I said, hormonally. "asshole," I whispered under my breath.
"Yeah, bye." He said, and then left, and with no kiss or anything. That is one thing he never forgets to do. Jeez, guys are so stupid, and they think that it's us that are hormonal. They are moodier than us!
I walked into the house on the verge of tears.
"Anna? Is that you sweetie?" Mom called out from the kitchen.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm gonna go to bed. I don't feel good,"
"Oh, honey are you sure. I made your favorite dish, Chicken 'n Rice." She replied.
"Yeah, I'm sure, but could you bring some up for me?" I asked sympatheticly.
"Yeah. sure. I'll be up in a minute."
As I walked past the guest bedroom, anger flooded through me. Gosh! I just wanna punch him right now. I mean seriously. How could he say that?! Especially after the news we just got. I swear, I have no idea what's going to happen. I dialed Kirsten.
"Hello?" Kirsten asked answering the phone.
"Kirsten? It's Anna. Can you come over ASAP? As in, like tonight?" I said between sniffiling cries.
"Oh, hon. What's wrong? Do I have to punch a certain boyfriends face in? Because believe me, I will do it if he hurt you in any way!" she replied. Gosh I love this girl. She may be the girliest girl in school, but boy does she have overprotection and anger issues when it comes to friends getting hurt.
"I'll tell you when you get here. And I might actually help you with that one. Just please come over right away. Oh, and my mom made Chicken 'n Rice, so come hungry!" I explained to her.
"Kk, I'll be there before you can say 'elephant's don't dance'" she said as she hung up, laughing in the background. Making me laugh so hard I almost fell.

Beau's POV
What the hell? Twins!
"Mom, I'm home," I yelled once I got in the house.
"Hi Beau. How was the doctors appointment?" she asked caringly.
"Oh the day went so wonderful," I replied, adding in sarcasm.
"What happened?"she asked.
"Nothing. Well actually the doctor gave Anna some unexpected news. Anna is expecting twins, both girls. We didn't talk the whole ride home. Then we had a huge fight when we were back at her house. She told me if I was gonna be so selfish and act like a jerk to her then I should just leave. So I did." I explained carefully.
"BEAU!! You cannot do that to Anna. I am happy you got news about twins! But that does NOT give you the excuse to up and leave. You need to except that you are having twins and be there to support Anna. You have come this far, you can keep going. And if you aren't going to apologize now, I wouldn't blame her if she didn't want you involved with the girls when they are born. You have no idea what she is going through and you are just being selfish because you didn't expect nor do you want to raise twins! Just go up to your room, and don't come out until you have to be to school. That should give you time to think!!!" mom expained, so out of breath by the end I thought she was going to pass out.
I left the kitchen silently. My mom went a little overboard there. And I guess I was a little selfish, but I need time to let this sink in. I'll just talk to Anna at school tomorrow after I clear my mind.
At school the next day Kirsten, Anna's best friend, came up to my locker.
"You are such a jerk," she yelled at me.
"Well, someone's a little upfront today. What's your issue?" I asked, but I wouldn't be shocked if she was the first person Anna called.
"You are my issue. I spent the night at Anna's last night, and guess what?"she paused, waiting for me to answer. "Well, I'll just tell you. She cried herself to sleep last night. Do you know how hard that was to watch as her best friend? It was terrible. That shouldn't have happened, because you shouldn't have been such a jerk to her in the first place!" she said, half laughing, half yelling.
"Okay, I admit, I was a tad on the mean side, but I needed some space and time to think about what was going on. I need to talk to her though. Is she here yet?" I asked, apologetically.
"As a matter of fact, she is not. If you had bothered to call her last night you would know that her doctor called her and told her to go on bedrest for sake of the twins. So that means you would know that she is doing homeschooling for the next three months until the twins are born and junior year is over. Then she will have the summer to get on her feet and she will start school in the fall. And you would know all of this if you cared as much as you say you do!" Kirsten explained bluntly.
"Well she could have called me! But that's in the past. I'm gonna go over after school to talk to her."
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Her mom knows about everything you said and is really mad at you. So I would suggest going now," she advised.
"I guess I'm skipping classes today. If anyone asks, I went home sick,"
"Whatever, but you better be damn sympathetic when you get there. Oh and she really wants chocolate, so I would bring her chocolates and her favorite flowers," Kirsten advised, yet again.
