So today I reached the 4.5 month mark... Yippee. And of course I had to not fit into my pants anymore. Did the baby have a growth spurt overnight? I mean my pants fit yesterday. Now I sit on my closet floor crying. My phone buzzed and I grabbed it. "Hello?" I said all sniffles.
"Matt where are you? We're waiting at the stop sign and you haven't shown and school starts in 10 minutes." I sniffled again. "Hey what's wrong?"
"None of my pants fit!" I said as I cried again. "They fit yesterday and now I can't button any of them! The damn kid had a growth spurt overnight!" I heard Jimmy telling the guys to go ahead to school he'd see them later.

I got home from my doctor appointment and went straight to my room for the night. My mother left dinner at my door. Other than that I talked to no one. I took a picture of my ultrasound and made it the background on my cell. I noticed that something was different with my phone. I looked through everything and found the something new.
I had 4 new contacts. It was the cell numbers of Jimmy, Brian, Zack, and Johnny. I smiled happy they were there. I sighed, got dinner, ate, put the plate outside the door, and went to bed.

I woke up one morning to find Jimmy rubbing my belly and singing gently to the babies. He hadn't notice I was awake yet so I kept silent and watched as he sang to my children. He was singing lullabies to them and telling them Grimm Fairy Tales. At the moment he was telling them about Cinderella. He was at the point of the step sisters cutting off part of their feet to make the glass slipper fit. At that moment I knew that Jim was the best person to be the father to my babies. And I bet a ton of you are asking: "Well Matt what are you having? 2 boys, 2 girls, or one of each?" Well I can't tell ya cause I don't even know. I won't let the doctor

I walked to my car knowing Matt was waiting for me. As I got closer I noticed he wasn't inside or outside the car. I dropped his book bag on the ground and ran to my car. Mattie's keys were on the ground by the front tire. I ran back to the school thinking he might have gone inside for something. I ran into the guys who were on their way out. "Matt's gone! He was gonna meet me at the car. I found his keys by the tire and he's nowhere to be found!" we all split up and went searching for him.
When we met at the gym we all had looks of fear on our faces. I cursed and kicked the basketball rack. I fell to the floor crying. I just got

"None. I am getting really worried Zacky. I mean he's been gone 2 bucking weeks.

I heard the chain on the door rattling again. He was coming back for me... I whimpered when moving sent a shock wave of pain through my arm. I stood leaning against the post. The chains fell off the door. The door opened and sunlight flooding the room blinding me. All I saw was a silhouette of my attacker. This was my last chance. I grabbed the pen from my back pocket and charged.
The person put their arms around me making my charge useless. I struggled. "Let me go so I can kill you!"
"Easy Mattie bear, no hurting your future husband." my eyes focused and I saw Jimmy. I gasped and backed away from him thinking he kidnapped me. "I

"Why are you calling me? You told me to get out remember?" Jimmy said in anger. "You are the one that said to get out. That you wouldn't let me hurt you or the babies. So do me a huge favor Matt, forget I exist ok? I am not gonna let another person treat me like crap. I thought you were different but I was wrong. You're just like everyone else. You just wanna use me and abuse me. So just fuck off, and throw out that ring. I don't want it back." The line went dead and I cried.
I couldn't believe he said that to me. I love him and he just gave up on me without letting me explain. Then I did something I haven't done in a while. I called my old

One day I was home in the kitchen after venturing from my room. I stood there in a pair of pajama bottoms with skulls and crossbones all over them and nothing else but the bandages on my stomach. I had just put something in the microwave when the doorbell rang. As I waddled to the door I wondered who it could be.
I opened the door to find Johnny standing there. "What a lovely sight to see. The door is opened by a half-naked preggo." I growled at him. "Can I come in?" I moved aside and he walked into the house. Once I closed the door he sighed. "Alright first I retract what I said at the door, I have a rep to keep intact. Second, I came here

The day arrived... The first day of school and my seven month pregnant mark. I sighed as I waddled to my bathroom to shower. Once the water hit my belly the twins kicked like there was no tomorrow. It's a good thing I have water proof stitches and crap or bathing would suck. I gave my belly an affectionate pat and rub to calm the babies down then went about cleaning myself. By the time my shower was done I had 30 minutes to get to school. As I was dressing I heard a car horn. I looked out the window to see Jimmy leaning against the driver door. "Come on up I still gotta eat and finish dressing." He nodded and I went to finish pulling on cloth

It had been another two weeks of me in my depressive state ever since the meeting with Jimmy and Johnny. I know Johnny meant well but I guess seeing Jimmy sent me over the edge. I finally took the ring off that day too. It now sits in a box in my bathroom mirror. School literally starts in 4 days, yippee... not. I am gonna be a huge pregnant kid in school who is single. Yeah that's not a neon sign that says pick on me.
I sighed as I went to my closet for clothes that would fit me. That was when I saw it; there on a hanger, was the pants Jimmy let me wear when I was 4 months. I grabbed them and held them close to me. I cried missing Jimmy wit

"Now stay that way." I walked back to my room and laid on my bed snuggling my body pillow. I sighed contently as I started to fall back to sleep. That was when the babies decided to wake and start kicking. I moaned and sat up letting the twins get comfortable again before I stood and went downstairs. I walked to the kitchen not caring who saw me in just my jeans.

I laid on my bed relaxing with friends when a nurse pushed in 2 bassinettes. "Hey Matt. Two people wanted to meet you formally." I smiled and Jimmy helped me sit up to hold them. I smiled as the nurse handed my babies to me. I tried not to wince as the weight of the one girl settled on my broken arm. "They need names still."
I smiled. "Which one was born first?" he nodded to my left arm. "Ok, that is Terra Lynn Sullivan. And her sister is Tanya Linnet Sullivan." I smiled when mom gasped. "Ma it's ok."
"You're naming her after me?" I nodded. The guys were all confused. "My name is Linnet." They all gasped an applauded. I smiled and looked at

So it's been two weeks since we heard from Zack and I was starting to get annoyed by his bullshit. I pulled on my favorite black skinny jeans as well as a red shirt that had a dragon on it. Sadly the dragon was stretched to capacity across my belly. I rubbed my stomach gently as my children still slept. I put on my sneakers, grabbed my phone, wallet, and keys; shoving them into my pockets. I left a note for mom on the fridge and walked out.
I sighed as I started to walk the 6 blocks to Zack's house. Normally I would have Jimmy drive my places cause of my pregnancy, but today I had to do this alone. I had to get my friend back. I want to make

"Good, why is my baby brother in a hospital bed? You break him during the labor?" I shook my head. "Well then why?" I pointed to the clear bassinette not too far from our beds. "Holy shit! Ryan?! You had two babies?!"

Looking around I saw white walls with one window on the left wall farthest from me. I heard beeping noises that seemed too loud. When I looked to my right I saw the cause of the beeping. I was 3 heart monitors. One for me the other two for the twins. My babies, I put my hands on my stomach and was greeted by kicks and tumbles that seemed lazy and bored. I looked around more and noticed I was alone.
Where is my mother? Where is Jimmy? Where is anyone? Was I left her to rot? Am I a forgotten entity? I looked over as the doo

I got off my stool that Jimmy caringly provides and walked to the mailbox at the end of the driveway for privacy. I was shocked when Zack answered. "Zack it's Matt. Why aren't you at practice?"
"Well let's see, could it be because you took away the man I love? The man that I seriously was gonna ask if we could start dating but then you moved into town? Maybe I don't wanna be around you if you're taking the man I love away from me." the line went dead and I was

"Roy told me what to look for that could indicate labor." I bit my lip looking at the ceiling. "Well my love, it seems Riley wants out. I'm gonna call Roy and get your bag ok?" I nodded and tried to remain calm. By this time tomorrow I'm gonna be a mother. I bit my lip and looked down at my gargantuan belly. I rubbed tiny circles like Zacky does.
