The Story of Us

Chap. 17

How!? This isn't how anything was supposed to go. How am I going to do this!?

"Give me another! This can't be right."

"Isadorra..."

"GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE!"

"Here." Rylee spoke as we sat in the bathroom repeatedly taking pregnancy test. Every single one coming back positive.

"Okay. This one is going to be the true one."

"What about the other seven?"

"They can't be right."

"Isadorra... We are having a baby."

"We can't!"

"Why? Because I don't have working legs?Well apparently something else works and it worked pretty well the other night. YOUR PREGNANT ISADORRA!"

I dropped to the ground and sat against wall staying quite till the last pregnancy test done.

Positive.

I'm pregnant...

How will I do this. How will we do this. We are not ready for this. Rylee just got out of his slump. Will the baby make him better? I have no doubt he will be a good dad. He will be a great dad. But will I be equally as good of a mom.

"Isadorra..."

"Yes?"

"It will be okay. We will figure it out. This baby is our little gift from heaven for all the bull shit we have been through. Everything is going to be okay."

"I know... I'm still scared though..."

"I don't have legs Isadorra. How do you think I feel? It's going to be hell trying to take care of a baby with no legs. I won't be able to do alot of things. I will be an embarressment not only to you now but to our child."

"Excuse me? Your anything but an embarressment, never say that again. We now our growing a little family."

"Our own family."

"Rylee. Come on. We said we would go to the doctor for your appointment today. You need to go."

"Have them come here."

"I AM SEVEN FREAKING MONTHS PREGNANT! I AM BIGGER THAN A HOT AIR BALLOON! YOU SAID YOU WOULD GO TO THE DOCTOR TODAY INSTEAD OF THEM COMING HERE! SO, I SUGGEST YOU STOP BEING A CHILD YOURSELF AND START THINKING OF THE ONE YOU HAVE ON THE WAY! THEY SAID THEY HAD GOOD NEWS FOR US! WE HAVE TWENTY MINUTES TO GET HALF WAY ACROSS THE ISLAND! SO GET MOVING!"

"Whatever." Rylee said pushing the moving button and rolling out of the house and down the road.

"Don't wait for the pregnant women or anything." I mouthed grabbing all the things we needed and locking the door.

"Are we taking the car?"

"If you think I am walking with this stomach your crazy." I laughed trying to make him smile. Today was one of the days of his bad moods.

I opened the car door and he rolled up into the van. I closed the door walking over to the driver side.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

"We have some very good news for you two." His doctor spoke sitting down infront of us.

"So grand I bet." Ryles spat.

"Actually when you hear this you will be alot happier. We got the testing we done a few months ago back. You are not completely paralyzed.."

Rylee interupted, "I think if my legs don't work that's being completly parazlyzed. Just pointing that out."

Doctor Palmer took a breath, "No. There is a surgery you can have done. It is two sessions. One for each leg. To shorten it. It has helped many other people who have your same condition to walk again and go back to how they were before. Even people who have been that way since birth."

"What?" Me and Rylee spoke in sync.

"Now. You would have to do physical therapy. But I guarentee that by your twos' baby girls are a year old you will be working the same maybe even better than you were before."

The twins! Rylee! Me! It would be great! Rylee wouldn't be glum as much. He would be able to partake in things we thought he wouldn't be able to in Farrah and Crystalines lives.

"Let's do it."
