So the day had finally arrived. The day that her father had insisted she schedule and the day she'd been dreading/anticipating all in one. Thank God Prim had agreed to go with her because she was very much afraid she would have sat out in the car and simply stared at the door. A home pregnancy test was one thing... Getting positive confirmation from a health official was another!

However, with Prims prodding, Simi had found herself inside the building and filling out paperwork before nerves could take control. Once in the office, she couldn't very well turn tail and run and she'd had no doubt that her friend probably would have set on her had she tried. Before she knew it, her name was called and the physical part of the exam done and she was sent back out into the waiting room because the doctor had decided an ultrasound was in order.

This had put the fear of god into her and she found herself jumping up and pacing the floor. Prim's anxious face gazed at her but Simi couldn't explain when she didn't even know what she was feeling.

Finally, plopping down beside the dark haired beauty, Simi glanced sideways at her and sighed.

"If this is any indication of what the next eighteen years are going to be like..... I"m not so sure I'm ready for this!!" she suddenly declared, plopping her head on her friends shoulder.

PRIM:

Prim smiled, and slipped an arm around her friends shoulders, pulling the blonde into a one armed hug and planting a kiss on her hair. She was surprised at how easily this compassion came to her, but then, just because prim had not been shown much, did not mean she did not know how to give it.

"Hey missy, it's fine. There's nothing wrong with you, promise" Prim grinned, not knowing exactly how she knew this, but knowing it was one hundred percent true.

Prims mind thought back to the night she had spent talking with talon, the night deus had come back to her and warned the girl of telling no one else about what had happened - she had not brought it back up with Simi through fear of what the Demon might do to her friend. That night she had maybe found out a little something more about herself, something hat had set the petite girls mine rolling from the shock, and the possible connotations of such a truth.

"And if nothing else, your going to be such a great mom, the next eighteen years will fly past. And you'll come see me and be like Prim! I want another baybeh.." The brunette teased, stroking her fingers up and down the other girls arm.

SIMI:
Sighing, Simi wiggled her nose and then sat up. With her hand resting protectively on her middle, she gave a small laugh at her friends words. "That would require having a man involved and since we both know that is not going to be happening any time soon..... "

As she opened her mouth to say more, a nurse stepped out and called her name once more. Glancing at Prim, she bit her lip and asked. "Will you come with me?? I feel like I should share this with someone and since Ry..... Well, would you just come back with me? They said its just some tool that they stick on your stomach so......."

Getting to her feet as the nurse waited patiently, the little blond tugged Prim along after her and soon was ensconced on an uncomfortable table with a weird looking machine beside it. With a look between it and her friend, Simi swallowed hard and then nodded when the nurse said the doctor would be right in.

Dropping her voice a bit, she whispered. "Now, aren't you wishing you'd run away when I asked you to come??"

PRIM:

Prim took Simi's hand, sititng in the chair beside the bed she smiled, again all too ware that there was nothing wrong, that the woman on the table was as far having a healthy pregnancy. There was something else too, under the surface, but she had found recently that reading non-humans was harder than just the simple touch she needed of others.... she really must talk to Simi about it, perhaps later, when both the problems in their lives had died down somewhat.

"naaw, never Simmi. I wanna see this baby. I;m like... in surrogate daddy mode right now, promise. " Prim knew this procedure of course like the back of her hand, having done a similar thing for animals for the last three years of her education.


"See, all they do is squirt this jelly on your tummy, and roll it around, and you can see the baby. Its pretty awesome." yes, prim was trying her hardest to be bouncy prim today, to be there and worry for her friend, pushing her own troubles deep away. So far, it was working.

Simi:

Logically, Simi knew her friend was right but that didn't stop her from being nervous about this whole thing. As anxious as she was about it though.. The thought of seeing the little being growing inside her was exciting.

Giving her friend a sassy look , she was just about to stick her tongue out when in walked the doctor. Freezing in mid motion, she instantly tried to look like the dignified parent to be that she assumed she should be. Which she had a feeling worked about like pedaling the golden gate bridge but.... It was worth a try, right?? RIGHTTTTTTTTT!

As the nurse followed the doctor in, they began to explain the procedure and asked Simi to lay back. Doing so, the slender blond waited with strange anticipation even as she gripped Prims hand and eyed the wand with some trepidation. The gel they used was cold and it almost made her jump of the table when the doctor first pressed his tool to her lower abdomen.

And then the wonder began.

After a bit of sliding around, the doctor smiled and began to turn the screen so both the mother to be and her companion could see. Mid turn, however, he suddenly frowned and peered more closely at the monitor. Calling to his assistant, he pointed at something and they held a low conversation for a long moment that made the hair on Simi's nape raise. Instant panic seized her mind and she didn't even realize that her grip had tightened on Prim's hand until the other girl yelped.

"Whats wrong, Doctor Prescott? Is something wrong with my baby?" she asked, fear in every note.

Giving her a quick glance, the docter smiled and reached to pat her arm reassuringly.

"Not at all, Ms. James... In fact... I don't think things could be much better..." he said with a wink. Reaching upwards, he finished the turn of the monitor and pointed to two objects on the screen. "Congratulations, young lady... It seems that your not only going to be a mother... Your having twins!"

It took Simi a long moment to absorb what she was looking at and to compute what she was hearing. When she did, her eyes grew wide and she sat straight up and almost bellowed at the man.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT I"M HAVING TWINS??? ARE YOU NUTS OR SOMETHING?? I CAN"T HAVE TWINS!!! HOW AM I GOING TO RAISE TWINS??? YOU"VE GOT TO BE OFF YOUR ROCKER OR SOMETHING!!! I CANT TELL RYDER HES GOING TO BE A FATHER OF ONE!!! MUCH LESS TWO!!!!"

Then, almost hyperventilating with the shock, she looked back at the screen and saw the perfect images once more. It was all the proof she needed to bring the truth home and she suddenly burst into tears.

"Damn it all to hell and back....THIS IS ALL RILEY"S FAULT!!! Well, ok.. not the PREGNANCY PART..... THE TWIN PART!! HIM AND HIS DAMNED PREDICTIONS!!!I"M GOING TO KILL HIM NEXT TIME I SEE HIM!!" she sobbed, torn between wanting to dance and puke her guts out. " Ryder should be here seeing this with me..... I'm going to murder that witch...."

"NOT YOU NOT YOU NOT YOU"

~P.R.I.M

Prim flexed the fingers on the hand Simmi wasn’t holding, as if in turn that might ease some of the feeling back into the fingers Simmi seemed determined to throttle. Seriously, if the girl didn’t let go soon, Prims fingers might just fall off. Yup. There they go. At least they must be rolling around on the floor by now, ‘cause she definitely could not feel them anymore. Despite the small squeak that escaped her lips, Prim was just as entranced by the image appearing on the screen as the woman laid next to her, and a small smile grew on the girls lips until she was grinning. There was little way to remain sad about such a thing when babies were concerned. Prim had a soft spot for them, never mind the soft spot she had for Simmi.

Then she started screaming, about babies and mothers and someone called Riley. Riley? Who the hell was Riley? But even these thoughts were pushed from her mind when Simone James burst into tears. It was enough to push Primrose Thatcher into action, and she gave the doctors a look that simply told them to get out. No. They were not allowed to be here and stand an gawp whilst her friend cried and ranted about things they could not understand – things she was only just beginning to understand herself.

Without waiting for the soft click of the door shutting, prim threw her arms around simmi’s neck and comforted her friend in one of the few ways she knew how. Cuddling the girl, prim stroked her blonde hair and did the one thing she could – be there. She had few words that could make the young woman feel better – she did not know Ryder and knew very little of what had actually happened, the two having traded stories whilst they had been spending time together recently, and truly she was at a loss.

Eventually, she pulled back and wiped and grabbed a tissue, smiling as she wiped the tears from Simone’s cheeks. “Hey girl... you know Ryder is going to come to his sense.”She smiled, sitting back slightly on the side of the bed. “And when he does, she can throw balloons and cake at him and scream at him that your having twins... and then kick this others girl’s ass straight back to hell yeah? And you know she better watch out when she gets back down there too, ‘cause I know someone whose gonna kick her ass too.”She laughed, making light of her situation and hoping to crack a smile form the girls features, even if they were not the most tactile of words. “Twins Simmi... that’s just.. amazing. And who the hell is Riley?”

[Simone Winchester]

This was like some sort of freaking Shakespearean tragedy or something. Could her life GET anymore messed up? Wait a moment, forget she thought that question. Of course it could. She didn't know how or why but she had no doubt that life was waiting just around the corner with another speed bump.

Bloody freaking hell in hand basket.

What in God's name was she going to do now?? None of the puzzle pieces in her little game seemed to join and she had absolutely no idea what to do from here. Her first instinct was to get on the phone and give Ryder a piece of her mind that would pull the blinders right off of his eyes but it was her second reaction that won out. No, that certainly wouldn't do. It would be better to let the truth sink in before going off like a grenade and doing something they'd both regret.

And then the whole weight of the situation sank in.

Twins.

She was going to have twin babies with their fathers cobalt eyes and his sandy locks. An icy part of her soul that thought it would never be warm again suddenly began to burn. Layer by layer, chunk by chunk, the reality of her little miracles began to take root and a fierce protectiveness surge upwards to warm her heart. Maybe she would never have Ryder again.. Maybe she'd never wake up to his smile in the morning... But she would have his babies.

That thought alone had her wiping the tears from her eyes and looking at her friend with a new light radiating from her sapphire gaze. As the other girls words pierced the bubble she'd been in, the little blond suddenly started to laugh again.

"Oh.. My... Um... Well, you see.. He's this guy that Tessa and I met on our way to New York from New Orleans.... There was this pixie.. and we accidentally got him thrown out of a bar.. and then he made mention of a plural form of babies when he found out I was pregnant.... I think he might have jinxed me... or ... blessed me.... "

Giving a delicate little shrug, Simi drew in a deep breath and let a soft smile steal over her lips as she rested a hand on her tummy. Her little miracles were in there safe and sound and they would never be without the love of at least one parent.

"And as far as the other woman goes?? Do the words "DIE BITCH DIE" sound to nasty?? Cause I don't care how much he loves her.. she steps out of line just once with me again.. I might just belt her one.... No more Ms. Nice lady." she said with an almost teasing note to her voice. "Eventually, Ry's going to have to know about the babies.. but I'll be DAMNED if I allow them anywhere near her and her goody toe shoes act... She might have him fooled but she doesn't have me convinced that shes all peaches and cream."

Glancing at the images frozen on the screen again, Simi suddenly reached over and grabbed Prims cell phone and clicked a picture of them. Her own cell she'd left in her purse and she figured the doctors would be back any time.


"Save that for me please?? And send it to my phone?? I can send it to my mother then!!"

~P.R.I.M

Well. Simmi sure got out... and Prim was pretty sure she’d seen the effects of that pixie in the bar sometimes, though she felt sorry for this Riley guy if he had come across said Pixie... especially if it had gotten him thrown out of the bar. For a moment Prim realised how crazy she sounded... in the few month she had known simmi her life had certainly taken a turn, and she was far from the girl she had once been, far from the shy thing at the table playing I never at least. She grinned at her friend, and realised something else. Simmi... as well as Makayla and Chey. Well. They were like family to the girl who had none, sisters, and she was as excited and happy for Simmi and her babies as Simmi herself was.

Prim felt like jumping around and squeeing.
For now however the young woman managed to refrain herself form just that, given that the doctors were pretty much bound to walk in the minutes she started bouncing off the walls, and instead wrapped her arms around Simmi’s neck once more, giving the beautiful blonde another hug. “I’d say Blessed Simsim.... though i suggest if you ever see him again, turn his hair purple or something, just to get him back.”

Prim nodded, taking the phone back and forwarding the picture message to Simmi, and saving it to her phone as well. Hey. She was here, she wanted to look at the little bean shaped twins too. Hell. She was gonna have a run of them on her phone, all progressing as the twins grew if she had anything to do with it, and given that she hoped to stay in Simmi’s life for a long time, she could use the photo’s for future embarrassment on the twins part.

“No more ms. Nice girl. About time Simmi!” Prim beamed at her “And if it makes you feel any better... she seems pretty fake to me too.”Plus the fact the woman had come back pregnant... well that was more than just a little bit creepy if you asked Prim. “Does this mean i get to sabotage her too? Like... put itching power down her shirt and spill drinks and stuff on her? ”She winked, a teasing glint in her emerald eyes and she sat back down, glancing at the door as the Doctor came back in.

[Simone Winchester]

For a moment, Simi could only stare at her friend in bemusement before a laugh escaped her. With a bit of their normal spark, her eyes danced with mischief as she eyed her

. "Ok, who are you and what have you done with my sweet natured friend?" she teased before giggling a bit. "And Yeah.... be my guest at the sabotaging. Hell, I'll even HELP! The woman turns my stomach on so many levels that I can't even begin to count them.... "

Turning her eyes back to the screen of the monitor, Simi stared at it a long moment before a slim finger raised and traced the little shapes. Although they were tiny and not yet in full form, they were obviously her little miracles and a fierce protectiveness swept over her. Just let anyone try to harm her little tykes. Shes see them to hell and light the torches first.

"You know something..... I hadn't planned on being a mother yet but... I think I could get used to the role. The situation might not be perfect but this isn't the dark ages. If I have too.. I'll raise these babies by myself with the help of my friends and family. Our world is to small to keep Ry from finding out about them for long so I guess I better make that phone call before he finds out from someone else.. As much as it scares the crap out of me... It has to be done. From there, it will be his call..... But one way or another... these babies are going to know they are loved and that they were conceived in love.... No matter what else happens...."

Turning her sapphire gaze back to her friend, she gave her a sad smile.

"And they will have a wicked godmother who has been there since they were nothing more than itty bitty spots on a monitor screen.... If she's willing, that is....."

As she waited for her words to sink in to Prim's mind, Simi swung her legs from the doctors chair and grabbed a kleenex to wipe at the goo on her stomach.

"And this stuff is just.. NASTY!!"

[prim]

””

~P.R.I.M

Prim sat and held her hand, grinning. ” Oh you know. She’s still here. She just goes to sleep when her friends get hurt is all” She told told her, giving the other girls fingers a light squeeze with her own before crossing her legs. It was all she could do to smile softly at Simmi’s next words, nodding her head. She had no idea what the girl was going through having never been through something even remotely similar herself, but damn if her heart didn’t reach out to the girl, damn if she didn’t long to just wrap the girl in bubble wrap and take her home – possibly lock her in a wardrobe with Ryder for good measure too.

Prims eyes widened at Simmi’s words, and her face spilt into a grin that reached her eyes. Hell, she even let out a small Squee. ”Godmother? Me?” prim stood and practically started bouncing around the room, much to the Doctors amusement, and bounced back, wrapping Simmi in a hug. ”Yes! I’m more than willing! These kids are not gonna know what’s hit them!”She laughed, releasing simmi to jump around a little more. Only when the doctor started eyeing her did she sit back down, still giggling and grinning to herself.

Leaning back, she grabbed some more tissues for Simmi, helping her wipe the gunk from her tummy. ”Well... you have a lot more to look forward too!”

((sorry its really short!))
