“My sister has twins,” Rena offered.
“That’s quite normal for your family, then. We’ll have to take some precautions, though. You’ll need support for your belly fairly early on, and all the things a pregnant woman should avoid, you should avoid like the plague. I’ll need you to come in more often as well so we can monitor the health of you and your babies. Does that sound good?”
Rena nodded in a daze. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Since the moment I’d met Rena, my life had been like a hurricane. Everything I had known and thought had been tilted on its axis. But I couldn’t be happier with Rena in my life. She brought chaos where order had been everything to me, and for the first time in years, I was starting to feeling alive again. It was so easy to roll over and die. It took one special woman to change it all.
And our adventure was only just beginning, by the looks of things.
“I’m going to give you two a moment alone,” the gynecologist said. “Come to my office when you’re ready.”
When she left the room, Rena sat up and looked at me.
“Are you ready for this?” she asked. “Four babies in one go? It’s a bit difficult to take in right now.”
“It’s a lot, but I’m not going anywhere. We’ll get through this together. We have the resources to get help. With you and Zoe together, you’ll have a whole troop of babies.”
Rena laughed before she sighed. “It’s just one thing after the other,” she said. “First finding out about my sister, then that there was another one once, then the pregnancy, and now this? What’s next?”
I kissed her. “Happily ever after.”
Rena smiled. “Every day we come across a new mystery. A new adventure.”
“I love that we’re doing them together,” I said.
I helped Rena off the table, and she walked behind the screen to change back into her clothes. When she was dressed, we walked to the office for the medication we needed and to book the next session. I was coming with Rena to every single one of them.
When we were in the car headed back home, I pulled Rena against me.
“It’s a good thing I love you,” I said. “A lesser man might have run for the hills.”
When Rena looked at me, there were tears in her eyes. She cried a lot these days, being pregnant and all. “I love you, too.”
We would make it together. I knew we would. All it took was faith and love and a tough skin to get through whatever life threw at us. Rena and I and our four babies would get through without a hitch.
I just knew it.
THE END
