It's a Twin Thing (Dixie/Darla's Story)


Hi I'm Dixie!  I'll be telling you our story.  The story of my twin sister Darla and I.  We're best friends, roomates as well as sisters!  We've just moved out of our parents house.

We found ourselves a little doublewide trailer with just enough room for us!  

Darla's dream was to own her own business.  She joined the business career immediately, where she met a guy named Dorian Brecken.  She came home all excited and told me I just HAD to meet this guy because he was super nice.

Can you believe she invited him over that same night?  I didn't even have time to do my hair or makeup!  I'm sure I looked a mess, but Dorian didn't seem to mind.  I know I'm a little on the chubby side but so is he, so that makes me feel better.

Then Dorian dropped a bombshell....he also is a twin!!!  He had a twin brother named Devon.  They're fraternal twins like Darla and I.  Isn't that funny?  We all have names that start with D and we're all twins.  It's like it was meant to be!  Dorian invited Devon over and he and Darla hit it off Devinely!!  -wink-

Over the next few months we all got to know each other really well.  We were all poor but happy!  It was no longer just Darla and I....now it was Dixie and Dorian.....Darla and Devon!

Being young kids, we of course had our share of fun.  Darla and Devon actually started woo-hooing on a regular basis before Dorian and I did!  And I thought I was the wild one!

Dorian and I did of course....we just took a little longer!

Before long, Darla came down with a mysterious illness.  None of us knew what was going on, but I was worried.

A week later, I was stricken with the same illness!!!  Darla and I called up our big sister Ashlyn because she's a doctor....and she broke out her portable diagnostic machine and then told us both some shocking news.  We were pregnant!!!  We were shocked but thrilled!  When the guys weren't paying attention, we whispered about our surprise and how we should tell them the news.  By now both Dorian and Devon had moved in.  Dorian and I were even engaged already!

We decided to just tell them and get it out in the open.  So as twins often do, we both blurted out at the same time "We're pregnant!" and the guys, as twins often do, blurted out "you're WHAT??"  I think they were happy about it, but you know how men are....constantly worrying.

The next few months FLEW by....we hardly had time to prepare for the babies!  We had a double wedding, which was alot of fun, but Darla and I were sick the whole time so we couldn't enjoy it as much as the guys seemed to.  One night we were watching movies and eating popcorn coated with bacon and honey - give us a break...we're pregnant - and I kid you not.....we both went into labor at the exact same moment!  It was unreal!
