Chapter 65\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d she asked gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just came from a doctor\u2019s appointment,\u201d I said, fidgeting with the ultrasound photo in my hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWas it bad news?\u201d she asked, concerned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what the hell I\u2019m going to do,\u201d I said, sliding the photos over to her. There were two circles on the picture, one labeled A and one labeled B. I watched Rae\u2019s face as she slowly processed what she was looking at.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you serious?\u201d she asked, looking up at me wide-eyed,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwins,\u201d I confirmed. \u201cI\u2019m having twins. Nolan\u2019s twins.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words hung between us heavily, neither of us sure exactly how to react. Rae looked at the picture again, then back at my face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCrazy. I mean, isn\u2019t that kind of rare?\u201d she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently it\u2019s genetic,\u201d I said with a sigh. \u201cMaybe it runs in my family. I wouldn\u2019t know. It must-god, it\u2019s so frustrating not knowing anything about my family. What if here\u2019s some genetic condition that I could pass on to the babies or something else that could affect the pregnancy? I\u2019ve been trying so hard to keep this a secret, but\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll be okay,\u201d Rae said, grabbing both of my hands and holding them tightly. \u201cTake deep breaths. There\u2019s no reason to panic. We\u2019re going to get you through this. We just need to find a way to get you out of here sooner than we thought.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, if you\u2019re having twins, then you\u2019re going to start showing way earlier. So we\u2019ve got to get you away from Nolan before he notices. You said he\u2019s already been suspicious, right?\u201d Rae explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I groaned and put my palms over my face. \u201cOh god, I didn\u2019t even think about that. This shortens my time frame a lot.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah. Waiting for your plan with Kieran might not be a possibility now. We have to figure out a plan B, or it could be too late. If Nolan finds out-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe won\u2019t let me leave,\u201d I finished for her, dropping my hands. \u201cYou\u2019re right. There\u2019s no other option. Unless\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless what?\u201d Rae asked, tilting her head curiously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless I tell him the truth,\u201d I replied softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rae\u2019s eyes went wide as saucers. \u201cTell him the truth? Are you out of your mind? You can\u2019t! You\u2019ll basically be a hostage for life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe not,\u201d I said uncertainly. \u201cMaybe it would be better to let Nolan know and try to work things out. Being a single mom is going to be hard enough, but with twins\u2026 I don\u2019t know if I can do it. Nolan is an ass, but he wants these babies, and he has the resources to take care of them don\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t mean that you want that man raising your children,\u201d Rae asked incredulously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, no. But I mean, it\u2019s not like I would leave them with him. I\u2019d stay too. Maybe having the protection and the resources of the Alpha would be worth the payoff of me being a little miserable. Look, Rae, I know what it\u2019s like to struggle growing up, to not have your basic needs met and for things to feel uncertain all the time. It\u2019s awful. I don\u2019t want to put my kids through that. Staying with Nolan sn\u2019t what I want, but it might be the better alternative to make sure that they have a good life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m hearing this,\u201d Rae said, leaning back in her seat and staring at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying it,\u201d I agreed. \u201cBut at the end of the day, I\u2019m going to be a mom, and it\u2019s my job to protect them. This might be the best way to do that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you\u2019re going to tell him you\u2019re pregnant?\u201d Rae asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d I answered softly. \u201cI think I am.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
