Re: This Is Why I'm Here... 1

"We can just put up family portraits..." I said, I sat up better and moved the ice cream aside before picking up our digital camera, "I mean here... we have us with the twins and some with our parents. And of course when they are born we'll have some special pictures too."

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 4:52 pm

"Mmm.... yes... very good idea. Yess...."

"I'll start that tomorrow, I got some new picture frames." I said, I had started printing pictures and framing them so that was something fun to do.

The next day, while Kyle was working I was putting pictures up in the elevator. It looked pretty nice and it would give Kyle something to look at while coming upstairs - just like if we were to hang pictures on the wall in the stair well!

I picked up a nail out of the box and was about to stick it into the wall when something felt off. Not in a bad way but it was uncomfortable. I sunk to the floor and sat with my back against the wall. Just that feeling I had inside let me know that something was up.

"Shoot..." I sighed, I couldn't just call him. T-T

I grinned and popped another wheelie for one of my customers. I got to stay a waiter and even got my picture on the wall as employee of the year! I took a bow and then rolled off to get their orders. I came back and placed them expertly on the table and grinned.

"So how'd you lose your legs?"

I gulped. I'd since regained my memory of that day, and didn't care to repeat it, but the people were nice...

"I was in a wreck. A semi didn't see that the light was red and crushed the front of my car. Took my legs with it. They weren't salvageable so the doctor just took them off."

"Oh..."

"Yeah, my wife was pretty angry. It was just a couple months ago too."

I couldn't believe I was walking all the way to his workplace. It was even starting to rain which stunk and I didn't feel good, especially with periodic contractions that were just annoying. They didn't feel too strong though so it could have been nothing.

AND ON I WALKED. D<

"Hoo... two more blocks..." I sighed tiredly and before long I arrived, I pushed open the door and a man at a table close by started laughing.

"Woo, hello there pretty lady! I see someone had fun at the donut shop!"

My face was burning up, not only was a soaking wet but now I was being called fat on top of that! I stomped over to him and was about to blow up but then I stopped myself and took a deep breath. I slapped him and then said promptly after, "I am pregnant with twins! Furthermore, I've never had a donut in my life!" And with that I went on my epic search for Kyle.

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:51 pm

I rolled out of the kitchen with another order and nearly dropped it. I gulped and quickly gave the people their food, set the tray on an empty table and rolled toward my wife. "R-Rhema! What are you doing here?!"

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:53 pm

"I came to visit!" I said cheerfully, momentarily forgetting my discomfort from those stupid contractions. They weren't that close so it was really nothing to worry about.

"I got lonely and decided that well... I'd like to get something to eat!"

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:56 pm

I eyed her suspiciously. "You've never done that before... what's really up? And why is your face so red?"

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:58 pm

"My face is red because one of the customers here called me fat..." I sighed, "C-Can I get a table?" He was acting like he didn't want me here and I was on the verge of crying because it came off weird. I gulped a little bit and suddenly felt more embarrassed than I had before.

"I'll just go... sorry..." I headed for the door quickly.

"Haha, bye pretty lady!" The same guy shouted, but I didn't hear anything else as the door closed behind me. It was pouring rain by then and I started to walk home.

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:06 pm

I sighed. Stubborn pregnant women. I rolled after her, toward the door and ran over the feet of that creepy customer. "Rhema!" I exclaimed, struggling to get the door open. "Damnit!" I exclaimed, struggling with the door. And not a single person helped me! >.<

I ended up having to back ting the door with my wheelchair to get it to open... while everyone stared. ._.

"Rhema!!" She was much farther down the path by now because it took me so long to get out of the door. "Rhema, please come back!!"

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:09 pm

I heard Kyle calling me and turned around, I didn't want him to come out in the rain with his wheelchair like that, it would rust and neither of us wanted that.

"Kyle, what?" I asked, he couldn't see my crying because of the rain thankfully. "What? I'm sorry for coming to your job, I didn't know I embarrassed you... I'm sorry."

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:14 pm

"You didn't! I was wondering if something was wrong because you never come to my work and you're so close to your due-date and I am scared!" I rolled toward her, pushing my hair back.

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:16 pm

"I... I didn't want to be alone." My chin was starting to quiver, "I just wanted to be close to you because if you were there... I'd feel safer." I was shaking, I felt another contraction and ignored it, trying to focus on Kyle. "I just wanted to be where you were."

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:19 pm

"Then get over here, sit down and let me take you back inside, okay?" I said, rolling closer to her and patting my lap. "I'm sorry that I made you feel like I didn't want you here. I want you to be wherever I am, actually."

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:21 pm

I nodded and did as I was told. A few minutes later I was at a table, still soaking wet, and looking at a menu. I was kind of hungry but I didn't want to just sit there and hog a table and not eat.

My stomach was hurting a lot more after a little while.

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:26 pm

I rolled up to her with a Sprite and frowned. "Is there something you're not telling me? Are you sick or something?" I slid the Sprite over to her. "It's really nice having you here, but you're not usually like this."

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:29 pm

"I'm fine, thank you." I took the sprite and turned away as a bead of sweat dripped down my forehead. I hurried to wipe it off so he wouldn't see and then went to sipping at my soda.

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:31 pm

"Rhema... what is it?" I knew she wasn't telling me something... I could always tell. The question, is what. "Should I call your dad and get him to draw it out of you?" I laughed a little.

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:35 pm

"N-No, Kyle I'm fine." I hated that he was being so persistent. I wished I could just tell him that I thought I was going into labor but getting to the hospital would be hard and if it was a false alarm... that would be even worse. I glanced at him and sighed, he was looking at me with such deep worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry... I'm okay."

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:40 pm

I frowned a little. "Okay... if you say so. But if you need me, just ask someone and they'll get me, okay?" I grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it, offering her a warm smile. "I need to go back to work now unless you need me...."

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:43 pm

"You can go." I smiled and let his hand slide away from mine. When he was gone I closed my eyes tightly and doubled over a little, so he wouldn't get suspicious if he looked back, I took a long sip of sprite which really wasn't that appealing to me at all. I was holding my breath - was that a bad thing?

Why now? It's too early for this...

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 6:58 pm

I got into the kitchen and sighed. I knew she was hiding something from me. I looked out of the door and frowned. She wasn't hiding her pain very well. I moved to where I wasn't in the way and called up my dear sweet father in law. "Hey, Dad? Um... I need a favor..."

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 7:22 pm

I was gnawing on a piece of ice when I noticed someone was standing over me. I looked up and saw Dad standing there with serious look on his face.

"Hi daddy..." I smiled, my voice was kind of funny sounding with the ice in my mouth.

"Hello, daughter of mine!" He grinned and then pulled me out of the booth. Moving hurt, everything hurt. I doubled over in pain and whimpered loudly.

"I suspected as much, like mother like daughter I guess!" 8D

>.<

**Jayrin** Sun Jan 23, 2011 7:25 pm

I rolled out of the kitchen, knowing she'd be angry with me. "I took the rest of the day off though..."

**Ikuar** Sun Jan 23, 2011 7:28 pm

"See? Everything worked out, Rhema!"

I was busy trying not to scream at a particularly strong contraction. Dad still had me by the arm and I was barely able to even move. As we were leaving I was trying not to cry and that stupid customer was laughing again.

"See ya again later, pretty lady!" He shouted.

Outside, promptly escorted to Dad's big SUV he continued to talk about how Mom refused to tell him when she was in labor with me and how he had to drag her to the hospital.

"Good times..." Dad said as if reminiscing that very moment.
