The Strong One

Episode 14

My birthday came in a flash and soon I turned 18 and woke up with the sound of my little babies crying which got me up and out of bed in a flash to make sure they were okay.

I went into Charlotte’s room first because I know that she’s the loudest and if she’s not settled I cannot settle Charlie.

As I checked Charlotte and calmed her, I picked her up and put her in my hip and made my way to my baby boy who unlike his noisy sister was only quietly sobbing.

I set Charlotte down on his crib and picked my baby up giving him lots of kisses and and moving him back and fourth, when I looked down I saw my baby girl ready to cry again because she is not getting any attention so I pick her up too and move back and fourth with both of them.

I made my way to the kitchen, set them on their high chairs since they both calmed down and made them their bottles and gave them each their own which they drank slowly.

I made myself some breakfast and ate looking at my two little angels who I love so much.

Starting from tomorrow I’ll be taking over the gang and I’m anxious, I have already an office made for me with a room attached to it for the twins, it has everything they need from cribs to toys, I want them to be comfortable.

When we all finished I got myself and my babies dressed, all of us matching with black bottoms and a Adidas top and trainers, we look adorable, I took a picture and put it as my lock screen on my phone because it’s so cute.

I told my mum I didn’t want a party and she promised me there wouldn’t be one however I don’t know if I trust her on that, she told me it would only be a small dinner and that I’m not allowed into the main house until 19:30, since it’s still so early my babies and I are going to go to the park.

I was playing with my little ones when Charlotte feel over she wasn’t hurt however she still burst into tears and I was soon by my baby’s side, Charlie seeing his sister upset also started crying but i was able to calm them down.

They quickly went back to playing and I just watched.

I was happily looking at my babies when a middle aged woman came to me and said,

“Oh you pour child did your parents make you look after your younger siblings.” 

“No.” I answered keeping my eyes on my babies.

“Really, aren’t those your younger siblings they look a lot like you and you are all wearing the same, so cute.” She said confused, I didn’t feel a need to explain my life to her but I decided to anyway.

“They look like me because they are my children.” I said plain and simple.

“Oh.” Was all she said before walking away from me with obvious disgust on her face.

I hate people like her who judge people like that, if my kids weren’t here I would surely have taught her a little lesson, when she thought they were my siblings we all looked cute but since they are mine it’s no longer ok, i know I’m young, I know I’m not wearing a wedding ring but that doesn’t give her the right to judge me.

“Mama, mama.” I heard my little ones say while rushing to me and pointing to the ice cream van.

“You guys want an ice cream?” I asked them even though I know the answer.

“Ice ceam.” They both shouted.

“Alright lets go babies.” I said to both of them and gave each one one of my hands for them to hold onto.

As our turn in line came I asked my babies what they wanted and Charlie pointed to a caramel ice cream and Charlotte to a chocolate one.

“Ok a chocolate and a caramel ice cream please, oh and please make sure that the chocolate comes nowhere near anything with strawberries please.” I said everything nicely.

“Here you go miss.” The ice cream man said passing me the two ice creams which my babies quickly snatched of me.

As we sat down and I watched them eat I saw a happy Charlie and then I looked at Charlotte who didn’t look too good, it took me a second to realise but then I noticed her cheeks going pink and her eyes swelling up and I soon became aware that she was going through an allergic reaction, in different to the first time this happened I did not freak out or well I tried not to and I also didn’t call for help as I new an ambulance would take ages to arrive, long enough that her throat could swell and she wouldn’t be able to breath so I picked her and and Charlie up and rushed to my car and drove way above the speed limit to the warehouse which was close than the hospital and because our personal doctors are all there, Charlotte was soon rushed into a room by her doctor who was a woman who I had to trust as I wouldn’t allow anyone alone with my baby who would harm her or not treat her health to the best of their ability.

Charlotte only being one and a few months is not allowed to have an epi pen as that’s for older kids only, so since she hasn’t reached an age limit where it’s save for her to have one she has to be rushed to the hospital.

I called my parents and Lee who arrived in a flash and I asked them to stay with Charlie for a minute while I went in to see Charlotte, Charlie was extremely scared which I understand because so am I but I gave him a hug and a kiss and then made my way into the room. 

“Doctor.” I said unsurely. “Is she ok?” I asked

“She’s stabled now Boss.” The doctor said. “May I asked what happened?”

“Yes of course, She had a chocolate ice cream, might she have grew an allergy to chocolate too.” I asked concerned.

“No from the tests we did that wasn’t it and she seemed to have taken in a lot of ice cream and if she was allergic it would mean that she would be in worse of state, the only reasonable explanation is that or the ice cream came in contact with strawberry ice cream when in the tubs or the scope the ice cream man used had leftover strawberry ice cream in it because it wasn’t washed out.” She said, making breath out in frustration and my baby is lying unconscious because someone couldn’t do a simple task that would have kept my baby safe.

“Alright thank you doc.” I said and made my way to my baby girl who looked so peaceful and no longer so swollen and pink.

I was startled with the sound of my baby boy crying and screaming which scared me as he’s so quiet.
