Other Side Of The
World.
Chapter
8.
I went upstairs to tell my friends what was
happening on Facebook, they’re all so happy about the news.
I went downstairs when I heard my mom talking to Paul the
convocation sounded pretty serious, I sat on the bottom step
quietly.
“Look Paul I don’t think twins is
the answer. Evie’s going to need to sleep more if it means
getting her grades up...” I heard mom say, I looked
confused why I needed sleep to get grades up.
“Look it’s not all about Evie.
I’m sure she’d love two siblings she looked
happy” Paul said. Great they’re fighting over
me.
“Look Paul, she’s got enough
stress with school and her boyfriend been shipped off to England.
You’re a surgeon and I’m an accountant we’ll
have no time for the babies at all. We’d be counting on
Evie to look after them...I don’t think she’s up for
that” I heard mom sighing, “Look Paul I do want a
baby with you but not two of them!”
“Well I can’t exactly stop you
from having twins...look I’ll cut down my hours. I’ll
stop at home to bring up these twins, alright?” Paul said,
“Look we’ll make it work”
“I know that Paul but what did you mean
by ‘Look it’s not all about Evie?” she’s
had a hard childhood she’s had no dad figure in her life.
She needs to come first she needs to be happy and at the moment I
know she’s not happy.” Mom said I could tell she
wasn’t happy.
“I love Evie like she’s my own
blood honestly I do. I know she comes first but what about the
twins? We could all be a proper family you, me, Evie and the
twins we could be a happy family” Paul said. I let out a
smile and looked out to the window.
I stepped up and walked towards the lounge
where I saw Paul and mom look at me with worried
eyes.
“Don’t get rid of the twins, I
don’t mind looking after them while you’re both at
work” I said, “Look Paul I know it’s not all
about me it’s about my mom been happy. I know she wants the
twins but she can make up her own decision. Mom have the twins
we’ll work it out we always have,
right?”
“Just listen to her” Paul said
looking at me patting down the seat and stroking my hair, I
smiled and hit him playfully.
“Alright I guess we’ll have the
twins” mom said smiling, “Look darling we
wasn’t going to have an abortion... we was just going to
look at adoption”
“Adoption? Mom are you crazy?” I
said, she gave out a smile, “These twins will probably be
the best thing that’s happened for a long
while”
“That’s true” mom said
smiling, “We would like some help with the names,
you’re good with names you named your hamster
Tulip”
“Mom I was 7 back then” I said
going red, “But if it’s 2 girls you’ve totally
got to name them Taylor and Justine”
“Ugh only because they’re your
two favorite pops stars” mom said,
“No”
I loved Justin Bieber so naming a girl
Justine would be a good option and I also love Taylor Swift,
she’s helped me with a few problems.
“How about Rosaline and
Elizaberth” I said smiling, alright mom didn’t look
happy she hates old fashion names, “Mom, I’m just
popping to the store, can I get you anything while I’m
there?”
“No I’m alright thanks.”
Mom said smiling. I walked down to the store when I saw a
familiar face.
