Come Closer

The rest of the day James and I spent just being together, it stillhasn’t sunk in yet that we just got married. Everything hashappened so fast. Over the past 9 months my life has completely changed, I moved to Pittsburgh with my high school boyfriend, went though fertility treatments and got pregnant with not only one kid but two, moving to Nashville and now I am married, I could not be happier.

“When should we tell our parents?” I asked James while washing my face before bed.

“Tomorrow maybe, when we go home.” He yelled at me from the bedroom. “I don’t want to ruin the moment.”

“Ruin the moment?” I asked.

“I don’t know what our families are going to think, they will either be happy about it or they will be mad, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. It’s our life not theirs.”

This is why I love him.

“That’s true” I said climbing in beside him.

James and I haven’t really had much sex since I got pregnant, I just don’t feel sexy with this fast growing belly, and it gets in the way of everything. He doesn’t mind, but I do.

“This is our wedding night.” He said moving closer toward me beginning to kiss my neck.

“James…” I tried to push him over.

“Meghan, I don’t care about you being pregnant. I understand that you’re self conscious but I’m your husband now and you can’t be afraid to show me your body.”

“I know, I just don’t feel sexual.” I said “You try being 5 months pregnant with twins and feel sexual at the same time.”

“I love you, pregnant or not. I think that you are the most beautiful woman ever and I am ready to start my life with you.”

“What the hell.” I grabbed him and pulled him close to me.

We began to have sex as man and wife.
-----------------------
James and I invited everyone over to our new house that we bought in Whitby. Everyone was there, my family, James’ family and Khloe warned me that she was bringing Brad. I am not looking forward to seeing him again.

I was outside on the deck chatting with James’ sister Rebecca and his mom when Khloe and Brad walked in.

Brad looked the same as he did when I saw him last. The face of a asshole.

“Meghan, hey!” Khloe came up to me and gave me a hug. “You remember Brad.”

He attempted to hug me but I quickly put out my hand for him to shake it.

“Nice to see you again Meghan, congrats on the babies.” He said.

“Thanks Brad…I have to go, I am needed inside.” I made a quick B line for the sliding doors that led into the house.

“I can’t believe he had the nerve to come here.” I said to James as he was coming out of the bathrooms.

“I’m afraid that wherever Khloe is he is not going to be far behind, they are engaged now.” He said. “Look what I have.”

He pulled out both of our wedding bands out of his pocket.

“Now?” he asked.

“No time like the present.”

We went into the living area and summoned everyone outside to the deck where everyone else was.

“Do you mind?” James said to his brother as he was eating chips with his mouth open.

“Sorry asshole.”

James just shook his head.

“Meghan and I have just a few quick things to announce.” He said putting his arms around me.

“Just before we went to Nashville we found out that we are having a boy and a girl.”

“WOOO!” my sister yelled, obviously she’s a little drunk.

Everyone else clapped and cheered.

“Also, while we were in Nashville we found a house.” James said once the cheering and clapping stopped.

“WOOO!” Brittney yelled again.

“While we were there we realized that moving to Nashville and have two kids was going to be big for us.”

We both put our hands behind our back and put our rings on.

“So we got married.”

There was no WOOO this time.There was complete silence.

“Well…” my mom broke the silence. “For fuck sakes.”

“Jesus Christ, here we go again.” I whispered to James.

“Can you just relax?” James’ mom turned and said to her. “This is just what they need, you giving them shit about everything Meghan does.”

“Deborah, this doesn’t concern you, this is my daughter not yours.”

“She is my daughter now.” Deborah stood up.

“Just stop please.” I started to yell.

“OMG.” I felt the sharpest pain in my stomach and almost fell to the ground.

All the attention went from the fight from my two mothers straight to me.

“What Meghan, what’s wrong.” James caught me.

“My stomach James, something’s wrong.”

“Someone call the medics.” James said helping me get into a nearby chair. “Babe what’s wrong?”

“My stomach, pain…lots of pain.”

“See; look at what you did to her.” Deborah turned and said to my mom as she came over to me.

My mom said nothing to be, I just saw her grab her purse and walk out the front door.
----------------------------
“It was just some pain because the babies were in stress but they are perfectly healthy.” The doctor said to James and I. “You have to keep her away from stressful situations, just let her relax for the rest of the day and she should be fine tomorrow.” The doctor said as I was filling out my discharge papers. “After you’re finished, just hand them to front desk and your free to go."

“Thanks doctor.” James said as he left.

“Take it easy Meghan.”

“I can’t believe this is happening.” I got up and put my sweater on.

“You don’t need that shit Meghan; I’m not going let your mother stress you out so much that it actually bothers the babies.”

“How’s it going?” Deborah and Rebecca came into the room.

“Everything’s fine, just some stress pain.” I pulled Deborah aside and wanted to thank her for standing up for me.

“Thanks for standing up for me, we just thought it would be smart to get married.” I said.

“I think that it’s your life and I’m not going to let her harm my grandkids.” She hugged me and motioned me toward James and Rebecca was talking.

“Want to grab a bite to eat?” James asked me.

“You go ahead; I think I’ll just go home and rest for a while.”

“I want to be with you.” He smiled down at me.

With that James and I went back home, put in a movie and curled up on the couch, within minutes I was asleep.
