Twins Or Not?
Carlos sighs as he enters the cancer center the next day to come see his baby sister. He was so distracted that he didn't see the girl that wasn't paying attention either causing them both to run into each other and knocking them both down.
Carlos gasped as he looked at Evie. "Oh my gosh are you okay!" Carlos asked Evie as he felt bad for knocking into her. Evie just laughed as she got up and helped Carlos up as well. "Yeah I'm fine and I'm so sorry! It was my fault! I'm such a klutz! Hey I've never seen you here before are you new?" Evie rambled out again making Carlos laugh a little bit.
"Sort of I'm here for my baby sister," Carlos told Evie, making her gasp in realization as she realized who Carlos was. "Wait are you Carlos!" Evie screamed out making him look at her a little weirded out that he just met this girl and she knew who he was.
"Um... yeah... um... how did you know?" Carlos asked as he was starting to become freaked out. Evie just gasped as she realized she sounded like a creep.
"Oh I'm sorry I sound creepy don't I! I promise I'm not a creep! I ran into your sisters earlier and her friend and her friend mentioned you!" Evie told Carlos as she didn't want him to think she was some crazy stalker.
Carlos just laughed as he looked at Evie. "Yeah I get it and you look so much like my big sister! I just noticed that! What's your name?" Carlos asked Evie, making her laugh. "Oh I'm Evie!" Evie told Carlos as she held out her hand and he shook it.
"Cool! How old are you?" Carlos asked Evie, making her laugh. "14 almost 15 though! I turn 15 next week!" Evie told Carlos, making him smile. "Oh wow! I turn 15 next week too!" Carlos screamed out making Evie laugh.
"Really! What day!" Evie asked Carlos, making him groan. "Monday ugh!" Carlos told Evie, making her laugh. "Me too!" Evie told Carlos excitedly.
"Really! That's cool we have the same birthday!" Carlos screamed out excitedly making Evie laugh excitedly as well. "Yeah we do!" Evie told Carlos, making him smile, but he quickly got sad as he remembered where they were.
"So um... what brings you to this cancer center?" Carlos asked Evie as he started to worry that she had cancer too. He didn't want Evie to have cancer. Evie just smiled when she could tell what Carlos was getting at.
"Oh I'm not a patient! I'm a volunteer!" Evie told Carlos, making him sigh in relief. "Oh okay good!" Carlos told Evie, making her laugh a little bit before getting sad as she remembered why he was there.
"Yeah and I'm really sorry about your sister," Evie told Carlos who just nodded. "Thanks for that and she's a fighter. I believe she can fight this!" Carlos told Evie making her nod as she started feeling sad.
"Yeah I do too! It's so tragic how these things happen to children who are just so young! I mean it's tragic for anyone but with children it's just," Evie began to say, but Carlos cut her off.
"Yeah I know what you mean. It sucks! I hate this! But I just gotta be strong and I can't give up! I know my sister and I know she can handle this! Anyway I should go see her. It was nice talking to you Evie and I still can't get over how much you look like Ava!" Carlos told Evie, making her laugh a little.
"Yeah I know what you mean! And yeah it's insane I thought that too! And I find it even more insane that we have the exact same birthday and are exactly the same age!" Evie told Carlos, making him laugh.
"Yeah I know! It's like we're long lost twins or something!" Carlos jokingly told Evie, making her laugh. "Oh my gosh can you imagine though!" Evie jokingly told Carlos back, making them both share a look as they started laughing.
"Honestly though it is kinda creepy," Carlos told Evie, making her nod. "Wanna know something even creepier! I'm living with a foster family and I've never met my real family!" Evie told Carlos, making him look at her in shock.
"Wait actually!" Carlos screamed out making Evie nod. "Yeah!" Evie told Carlos, making him look at her in shock again.
"Okay this is seriously insane! Do you think we actually could be secret twins or something!" Carlos screamed out. "Maybe! Oh maybe we can get a DNA test and see if we're related!" Evie screamed out making Carlos nod excitedly.
"Yeah that would be cool!" Carlos screamed out, but before Evie could say anything more Ava came over and dragged Carlos away. "Carlos! There you are! Come on! Mal has been asking for you all morning and she's not having a very good day right now since she just started treatment!" Ava told Carlos, making him nod as he waved bye to Evie and followed after Ava to Mal's room.
"Yeah I know I was just about to come see her but I accidentally ran into this girl and Ava it's insane! We are exactly the same age and we have exactly the same birthday! And guess what she's in foster care! How insane is that! And she looks like a younger you but with blue hair!" Carlos told Ava excitedly as he was loving the possibility of having another sister and not just another sister, but a twin.
Ava just rolled her eyes as she looked at Carlos. "Okay and what are you getting at?" Ava asked Carlos as she didn't feel like playing along with his silly games right now when she had a two year old in the hospital that just started chemo.
Carlos just laughed as he looked at his big sister. "What if she's like my secret long lost twin or something! How awesome would that be!" Carlos screamed out excitedly making Ava just roll her eyes again.
"Okay you have lost your mind! I was there the day you were born and I saw all the ultrasound pictures! There was no second baby!" Ava screamed out as she really did think Carlos was going insane.
Carlos just smiled as he looked at his sister. "Yeah but sometimes they can hide and stuff and not show up on an ultrasound and Ava you were 6 maybe you just forgot!" Carlos told Ava trying to convince her that he wasn't crazy.
Ava just groaned as she looked at Carlos and stopped walking. "Okay so hypothetically speaking mom and dad give birth to two babies and get rid of one while still keeping the other and nobody ever knew!" Ava told Carlos trying to show him how insane he sounded.
Carlos just laughed though as he nodded. "Yeah!" Carlos told Ava, making her groan again. "You're insane! You don't have a twin! I'll admit it's a crazy coincidence but that's all it is!" Ava told Carlos, making him sigh.
"Maybe you're right! But I still think it could be true!" Carlos told Ava who rolled her eyes. "There's no way!" Ava told Carlos again, making him smirk. "But it could be!" Carlos told Ava again as he walked into Mal's room and smiled at her.
"Mama an Cawos!" The small girl screamed out when she saw Ava and Carlos enter her room. Carlos just smiled as he looked at his baby sister. "Hey pup!" Carlos told Mal, making her giggle a little.
"We go howm?" The small girl asked Carlos, making him sigh. "No pup not yet," Carlos told the toddler, making her cry as she just wanted to go home. "I wan go howm!" The two year old cried out making Ava sigh as she looked at Mal.
"Shh I know Mal trust me I want to go home too! I want to go home so badly, but we can't yet. We have to stay a little longer, so you can get your new medicine," Ava told Mal, making her keep crying.
"I no wike id!" Mal screamed out making Ava sigh. "I know Mal, but you need it," Ava told the small girl, making her cry. "Id ma me few ba!" The toddler cried out making Ava sigh again as she hated doing this, but it needed to be done.
"I know Mal but you need it! Mal I am going to tell you something okay," Ava told the toddler making her nod. "Otay!" Mal told Ava who sighed. "Mal you are sick," Ava told the toddler, making her get upset. "No!" Mal screamed out making Ava sigh.
"Yes Mal you are and in order to get better you need to take this medicine," Ava told the toddler, but Mal just started crying again. "I no wike id! Id huws!" The young girl screamed out making Ava start to lose it.
"I know Mal, but Mal if you don't take this medicine you're gonna die!" Ava screamed out as she couldn't hold back anymore. Mal just looked at Ava in shock as she started sobbing.
"No! No wanna!" The small girl screamed out making Carlos quickly jump into action as he looked at Mal. "Mal you are not going to die Ava is just exaggerating okay. You're gonna be fine. But you do have to take the medicine to get better and become a big doggy like your big brother!" Carlos told the toddler making her giggle.
"Otay!" Mal told Carlos, making him smile a little. "Otay? So you promise you're gonna let the doctors and everyone else give you your medicine," Carlos asked Mal who nodded. "Pomise!" The small girl told Carlos, making him smile.
"Okay good! Now Ava and I will be right back okay," Carlos told the toddler who nodded as he dragged Ava out of the room. "What are you doing!" Ava screamed out making Carlos roll his eyes. "Really Ava! Did You Have to say that!" Carlos screamed out making her sigh.
"Carlos it's true! If she refuses the treatment then she dies!" Ava screamed out as Carlos was acting like this was no big deal when it was. Carlos just groaned as he looked at Ava.
"I know that Ava but you can't tell her that! She's only 2! She doesn't understand what's going on!" Carlos screamed out making Ava nod. "I KNOW THAT!" Ava screamed out causing Carlos to get upset as well.
"THEN WHY DID YOU SAY IT!" Carlos screamed out making Ava start crying again. "I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW OKAY! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! I'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE! I WANT DAD! THIS SHOULD BE MOM AND DAD'S JOB! I AM 20 YEARS OLD! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS! IT'S TOO MUCH! I WISH OUR PARENTS WEREN'T SUCH!" Ava started ranting out, but Carlos stopped her.
"Ava I know! But you," Carlos started to say, but Ava rolled her eyes as she had already heard it from everyone else. "Can't give up! Yeah I know! I've heard it from everyone already! How can I not give up when she wants to give up!" Ava told Carlos making him sigh as Ava wasn't thinking about how Mal feels.
"Ava, she doesn't want to give up! She doesn't understand what's happening! She's a toddler! You have to explain to her in a nice way what is going on! Don't just automatically give up and tell her that she's gonna die! That's gonna scare her more!" Carlos told Ava who nodded as she looked at him.
"I know that! See I suck at parenting! You are way better than I am! You managed to calm her down and convince her to let the doctors do their thing!" Ava told Carlos making him sigh as he looked at his big sister.
"Ava you don't suck at parenting! You're not trying right now! You already gave up! I can see it! AVA...DO...NOT... GIVE...UP!" Carlos told Ava, making her nod.
"Yeah you're right. I need to stop being selfish. This isn't about me, this is about our sister. I'm gonna go back in there and explain to her in a better way what's going on," Ava told Carlos, making him laugh.
"Look at that my sister is back! Well I'll be back!" Carlos told Ava making her look at him like he was insane. "And where are you going!" Ava asked her brother, making him laugh. "Oh I'm just going to take Evie to get a DNA test!" Carlos told Evie as if what he was saying was totally normal.
"Are you serious!" Ava screamed out making Carlos smile. "Yeah!" Carlos told Ava, making her shake her head no. "No you're not!" Ava told Carlos, making him laugh.
"Yeah we agreed! I told her I would help her find her birth family!" Carlos told Ava, making Ava look at him like he was insane again as he was being serious about this whole twin thing.
"Carlos that's ridiculous! You do not have a twin!" Ava told Carlos, making him look at her. "Come on can't we at least rule it out first! You never know! I mean think about it mom and dad were sneaky people! Dad got away with stealing money from clients! What makes you think they couldn't get away with giving a baby up for adoption and keeping one!" Carlos told Ava making her groan as she knew Carlos wasn't going to give up on this.
"You know what I don't care! Go ahead play your little game but don't expect to get the results you want because you do not have a twin!" Ava screamed out making Carlos get excited. "Okay great thanks Ava!" Carlos screamed out as he ran off to go find Evie.
Ava just rolled her eyes before putting on a fake smile and going back in to see Mal. While Ava was doing that Carlos found Evie as he ran up to her. "Hey! My sister said we can go!" Carlos told Evie, making her get excited.
"Really!" Evie asked excitedly, making Carlos laugh. "Yeah!" Carlos told Evie, making her laugh. "Okay great come on! Thank you so much for doing this!" Evie told Carlos as she was getting closer to finding her birth family.
Carlos just laughed as he looked at Evie. "No problem! I mean I wanna know too!" Carlos told Evie, making her laugh as she nodded. "Okay come on let's go!" Evie told Carlos excitedly as they both made their way to get Evie and him a DNA test to see if they were twins or not.
