Romulus made his way to the ACE Hardware in the adjacent neighborhood. They often purchased their materials there, at least the ones for the practical fixes rather than the little personal embellishments. Being that he and Remedy had been stopping in enough, one employee greeted him by name as he entered.

As anticipated, the store had a few people milling about, but nothing overwhelming. It was mostly older men, though he did see a few little girls running circles around a man picking through a spinning rack that had buckets filled with nails of various sizes. One of the little girls was just a toddler and had a fluffy blond mess of hair that made him think of Remedy.

He perused for a little bit, getting a few boxes of screws and some hinges they needed so they could start their next project of putting up new cabinets. He did find a hummingbird feeder shaped like a fat flower that he though was interesting, so he picked that up as well as some hummingbird food (he didn't know birds could EAT a liquid) before paying and heading back towards home.

“They hurt because they’re tender! They’re getting ready to feed a baby.” Roxanne insisted, loading more food onto Remedy’s plate.

“Mom, stop, this is so much-“ Remedy began with a pout, holding her chest as Roxanne stuffed a flaky croissant into her mouth, interrupting her speaking.

“I’m telling you, a mother always knows. You can see a fancy doctor, but when I was your age, we didn’t need someone like Peter to come tell us.” Roxanne said.

Remedy choked down the croissant.

“No, you guys peed on wheat or whatever.” Remedy groaned, pushing the little plate away from her.

“If you don’t believe me, you’ll look awfully silly when you suddenly go into labor with no midwife to help you.” Roxanne scolded, pushing the plate back.

Remedy’s cycle had never been regular, she’d wondered on and off if that would mean anything regarding her fertility. But she pondered a moment, regardless of it’s irregularities, she hadn’t bled since before her and Romulus moved in.

“I had a beer the other night…” Remedy murmured, now worried she’d been pregnant this entire time.

“You can have beer, I had wine with you and you turned out fine.” Roxanne waved off her concerns as she packed up the basket. “I only wanted to make sure you’re eating well, no more McDo! It will poison the baby.”

“You just said I could have beer?” Remedy replied in the spirit of always needing to argue with her mother, but her eyes conveyed concern as she was still mulling over the probability that she could be pregnant.

“If you truly do not trust your own mother, you can see Peter or take one of those urine tests. Surely they’re more reliable than me.” Roxanne embellished, feigning some sort of hurt, as she tossed her blonde curls over her shoulder, and collected her basket.

Like he'd said, Romulus had made his way back rather quickly, bag full with his haul in hand. He paused outside to give the rickety handrail a little wiggle, making a mental note to put that repair on his to-do list, and proceeded inside.

"I'm back! Are there any croissants left?" He called as he entered.

Roxanne perked you and padded over toward the door. She was already on her way out, but Romulus was a good boy, who would undoubtedly listen to her advise.

“Yes, and it’s very important that you soak the bread in red wine before feeding it to Remy. Otherwise, your babies could be born prematurely!” Roxanne warned. This of course was an old French superstition, but it probably sounded like a strange prophecy without proper context.

Romulus blinked in surprise and confusion.

"What babies? What's premature?" He asked, looking between Roxanne and Remedy.

“Nothing. My mom thinks I’m pregnant.” Remedy answered with a shrug, still not positive herself.

“She is pregnant.” Roxanne insisted. “So you have to feed her bread, soaked in red wine, to keep the baby from being born premature.” Roxanne explained again sternly.

“Pregnant? With my baby?” Romulus asked, not in a way that sounded accusatory of any potential infidelity, but rather in the way of genuine disbelief and confusion.

Of course Romulus knew how babies were made. He’d never been given any form of the “talk”, but he was privy to how sex worked and what could ultimately happen if precautions weren’t taken. His father usually provided he and his brother with a mix of herbs that were magicked by Natas for ultimate potency that they would sneak to their “conquests” to ensure unwanted pregnancies didn’t occur. However, since he had been with Remedy, it had not occurred to him to take any steps to avoid pregnancy and it didn’t seem like Remedy had either.

Remedy made a face resembling annoyance, though it wasn’t for certain if it was targeted at her mother or Romulus. Reaching from her plate on the table, she chucked a croissant at Romulus. “Who else?” Remedy asked incredulously.

Roxanne gave Romulus’s shoulder a squeeze as she brushed by. “Good luck, son. Take good care of Remy and baby.” She said as she padded out the front door.

“Hey! I don’t know!” Romulus sputtered a bit as the croissant hit him in the shoulder. “I just went to the store and-and-and you’re suddenly pregnant.”

“Just because my mom said I’m pregnant, doesn’t have to mean I am!” Remedy protested, though at this point she wasn’t positive one way or the other. “Do I look pregnant?” She asked.

PeanutButterGoddess · Joined: 25 Apr 2016 Posts: 7966

Romulus took a pause before giving a little, nervous shrug.

“I mean…you look like you’ve gained a little weight and your…well your boobs-maybe you look a little pregnant? I don’t know.” He said with an anxious pull of his face.

Remedy’s mouth gaped open, she appeared offended by his answer as she reached to hurl another croissant at him.

“Go get me a pregnancy test then if you think I look pregnant.” Remedy frowned, annoyed. Although in truth, she was probably feeling hormonal.

Romulus wanted to point out that he’d just gotten back from the store and hadn’t even gotten to sit and have any of the breakfast Roxanne had brought for them, but opted not to when Remedy armed herself again.

“Okay! I’ll go get one!” He said quickly.

Remedy huffed and puffed, and pouted until Romulus returned with a pregnancy test. Upon his return to the home, Remedy was quick to snack the paper bag from him and disappeared into the downstairs bathroom to take the test.

While she waited for the results to process, she observed herself in the cracked bathroom mirror. The crack was long and jagged, reaching from one corner to the other, splitting her reflection above her breast; disjointing her from the rest of her body. Her breasts were in fact, noticeably larger, especially given that Remedy didn’t even wear a bra normally. Her breasts were unusually perky, cleavage appearing from the top of her fathers button up. She dared to lift the bottom of the shirt, her stomach was normally flat. Highschool sports and regular fight club kept Remedy’s physical pretty toned, but now there was a bump of considerably size (because they’re twins and probably four months long).

She had resigned herself to the obvious truth, still she glanced down at the pregnancy test: positive. She discarded the test in the trash and washed her hands, before exiting the bathroom somewhat sheepishly. She made a vague gesture to the croissants.

“Do we have any red wine for those?” Remedy asked.

Romulus had taken to perching on the couch to wait for Remedy and was slowly pulling a croissant apart, his appetite gone from nerves. He looked up as Remedy came out from the restroom and furrowed his brow at her statement before realization spread across his features.

"Wait, you're really pregnant?" He asked.
