from a rose to a cuddle

This is your fate. Looking down in bed, seeing your belly swollen with a baby or two, feeling them moving and kicking in the warm and safe Womb that you're providing them.

This is, of course, inevitable. You may think to yourself you're playing it safe, taking birth control pills or having your boyfriend use a condom when you have sex.

But you'll slip up at some point. Maybe you miss a day on your pills by accident. Maybe you happen to run out of condoms and you figure, "It's just this one time."

Regardless, your momentary lapse of diligence is rewarded with two pink lines on a pregnancy test. Now, 8 months later, you're lying in bed, tired and swollen with the growing babies inside you. They move so much and you're so big now, you can hardly get up anymore.
