4.13 Nine Months

Caution: Fluffy cute filler, with lots of puke.

The months rolled by, and Shaena had little contact with Alex. They talked on the phone, and went on a couple of dates, but Kaity was quick to busy Shaena with the toddlers. She loved helping, and needed the experiance for when her little one came along. Alex had been sickly sweet since he got out of jail, but Kaity had managed to convince Shaena to stay for at least the duration of the pregnancy.

And as Kaity's morning sickness was a lot worse than Shaena's and her own when she'd had the twins, she needed all the help she could get.

But she did have time to spend with the twins anyway...

Even if the sickness managed to get in the way of that too.

 The twins didn't seem too phased by their mothers illness, though, and were their usual happy, playful selves.

They even managed to listen as Kaity and Shaena explained that they were pregnant, and that their tummies would grow and then in a few months they'd have some new playmates.

"Say-na stay foweva?" Sophie asked, and Kaity looked to Shaena to answer.

"I'll always be here for my girlies." Shaena replied, neither agreeing to stay or saying she'd leave.

Before they knew it, the twins birthday arrived. Exactly as Kaity had seen in the dream.

"This is how I knew." She smiled.

"What?" Bonnie asked, confused.

"This is what I saw in my vision. Exactly this." The three girls laughed. It wasn't often one of her visions played out exactly as she'd seen, and this was a good one to have match up.

Soon the guests arrived, and it was time to blow out the candles and cut the cakes.

And Kaity was glad to be free of diapers for a few months. If she hadn't been pregnant, she'd probably have celebrated her new-found freedom at the Grind, but that would have to wait a few more years.

The months kept passing, and Kaity temporarily closed the shop. She didn't want to hire someone, and hadn't really wanted a maternity leave, but with the twins old enough to run around, but too young for school, and the pregnancy on top, she had very little energy and decided it was for the best.

The weather started to improve, and although it rained a lot it was starting to get warmer now. Kaity took her kids on days out as often as she could, and insisted on getting pictures to document the memories.

 The pictures of her mother and her friends in the dining room were replaced with ones of her growing family, and she promised herself that she'd do the same when her little one came along, she'd make sure every day was as happy as the past few months had been.

She insisted the girls took pictures together without her, and added the print to the wall of her bedroom next to the picture of them as toddlers. She made sure she sure would have space to hang pictures of this baby, and any other children she may have after. She wasn't planning on more kids, but she hadn't planned either of her pregnancies so far anyway.

The upstairs was extended to accomodate her incoming baby and growing twins, and in the hallway she hung some pictures that had been in the house since her childhood.

The twins got a 'big girl bedroom', and they loved their bunk beds. It was a childrens haven, filled with toys, and every little girls favourite colour: pink. They couldn't wait to start school and bring friends back to their room.

And with only a few weeks left until her son's arrival, she decorated the new nursary. She knew pink for girls and blue for boys was cliche, but she loved the colour pink, and the blue reminded her of Winter.

She'd often thought about him during her pregnancy. She regretted having no way to make contact, and wondered if she should try harder to locate him. She didn't, she didn't even know what she'd say if she did find him. Sure, she'd tell him she was pregnant, but would he even believe he was the father? She wasn't one hundred percent sure herself, and wasn't sure she'd ever know. But she would raise this son as she'd raised her daughters. She'd do it alone, or with Shaena if she'd stay, either way she was fine with her situation, and didn't care what people said about her lifestyle.

It was late at night when she finally went into the late stages of labour. Shaena was a few hours behind, but joined her in going to the hospital. They'd agreed Alex wouldn't be at the birth, much to his annoyance, and Kaity had nobody to call anyway. The twins were tucked up in bed and Kaity left a note for them on the fridge, should they not be back in the morning.





So, some of you already know, I had a brain failure and deleted loads of pictures before I'd put them on photobucket. So, there was supposed to be stuff happening while she was pregnant, but it had to be cut. 

The twinnies traits:
(I don't have CAS shots, sorry. I did, but the aforementioned brain fail episode means I don't have them any more. Or the super-cute day at the park pics :( And I realise you can't really see them this chapter, don't worry, they're in the next chapter.)
Jaydean: Genius, Friendly, Never-Nude.
Sophie: Brave, Friendly, Computer Whiz.
I didn't get to pick traits, because even though they learned all their skills, I apparently lost some progress during one of the many save-errors I have encountered during this chapter.
Basically, this chapter was the hardest filler chapter anyone has ever done, and I'm glad it's over. Phew!
