One Month Later
Rose got out of
bed. This was the third time she had gotten out of bed. She ran to the bathroom
and threw up.
Jack and Mr.
Andrews had noticed this, and decided to take her to the doctor.
"Well, Ms. Bukater,
I have your tests back," Dr. Sklaro said.
"Am I all
right?" Rose asked, holding Jack's hand tightly.
"You're fine.
So are your babies," he replied.
"That's
good...my what?" Rose exclaimed.
"You, Ms. Bukater,
are pregnant," Dr. Sklaro said.
"She is?"
Jack and Mr. Andrews asked.
"Four weeks,
to be exact," he said.
Rose looked at Jack
and Mr. Andrews. "What are we going to tell the rest of the world?"
"That you are
expecting," Mr. Andrews said.
"Yeah, and
anyway, you were getting pretty big in music," Jack said.
"That's a good
thing?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, it
means that you can take a break from music," Jack said.
"And you can
spend more time with Jack and the little Dawson," Mr. Andrews said.
"Dawsons,"
Dr. Sklaro interrupted.
"I'm
having..." Rose started.
"Twins,
Rose," he replied.
"Rose, if you
want an abortion..." Mr. Andrews started.
"Mr. Andrews,
this is a human you are talking about, and no, I don't," Rose said.
"Fine,"
Mr. Andrews said.
"Thank you,
Jack," Rose said.
"For
what?" Jack asked.
"For giving me
these babies," Rose said.
