TWINS

"Ma'am, I need to run a sonogram real quick."

A lump gathered in the back of my throat...

My baby, my little baby was carrying a child...

What was wrong?

"Your first pregnancy was 32 hours long before they did a

C-section.  And then, your recovery hasn't been the best.

Then we're looking at another pregnancy within a year."

The OB-GYN must have seen my face turn white.

"I don't think anything is really wrong,

Not within reason."



NOT WITHIN REASON!!!!

WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT!!!!



"Miss Bryant, LaToya, either you are farther along,

Than what you think, or your uterus is big,

And we need to find out why.

There maybe scar tissue from your first pregnancy,

Or there maybe a mass on the wall of your uterus."



OH MY DEAR GOD!

PLEASE, LET THE BABY LIVE,

DON'T LET THIS BE A BAD PREGNANCY OR MISCARRAIGE.



Then the Dr. grinned,

"I just want to be sure, you know.

We need to know what to prepare for."

My heart sank,

"Either you are an exception,

Or Miss Bryant, you'll be the mother of twins."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My daughter is a wonderful human being, misunderstood often, just like her mother. I chose to leave that family after my ex and I could not get along.  I didn't want to be pulled back into some chaotic events.  Now, I feel as if God is telling me that my daughter needs me more than ever--irreguardless of how friendships and relationships end.  My daughter has a boy who just turned one last month, in August, she is expecting twins in January.  God bless and keep them all safe.
