Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 206 – Bridgette

“Bridgette,” Annabeth hisses, leaning forward and grabbing her hand. “What are you talking about? Are you…are you bleeding?”

Bridgette just looks between the two of us anxiously, clearly taken aback. “I mean it’s no big deal,” she says, “it’s just my period, like I get every month. It’s not bleeding – it’s just –“

“Wait,” I say, likewise leaning forward, shocked and worried for my friend. “Bridgette, it’s very important, right now, for you to tell us clearly what’s going on. Have you been getting your period every month? Since you’ve been pregnant?”

Bridgette’s eyes go wide as she looks between us. “Y-yes?” she says, her voice suddenly hesitant, like a little kid in trouble. “Is that not…? Um, the doctor told me that that was okay? That it was normal?”

“That is not okay,” Annabeth says fervently, squeezing Bridgette’s hand harder. “That is not normal.”

“Do you mean –“ Bridgette says, focusing her eyes on Annabeth. “You…don’t get your period? Like when you were a little girl?”

“No!” Annabeth says, appalled. “Bridgette, when you are pregnant, your period stops!”

My face falls as I suddenly realize what has been happening, or at least the gist of it of it. My beautiful blonde sister-in-law just looks between us then, horror and worry in her eyes as her hands go to her stomach.

“Oh my god,” Bridgette says, her voice shaking. “Does this mean…my babies…”

Annabeth, truly worried now, looks at me. “I have my doctor on call. I can take her. Now.”

I nod, agreeing, but it’s Bridgette’s choice. “Bridgette,” I say, standing up and moving around the table to put my hands on her shoulders. “Would you like to go and see Annabeth’s doctor? He’s the best, I’m sure, and will be able to tell you everything you need to know. About…about your pregnancy.”

Though I’m sure, now, that there is no pregnancy. That this poor, naïve girl has just been played a very dirty trick.

“Yes,” Bridgette says, and I can see her hands starting to shake as she stands up. “Yes, please? Can we go now?”
