**Chapter 10: Accidental Consequences**

The warm sunshine streaming through the cabin's windows was a stark contrast to the passion that had driven Jess and Pedro all night. Their romantic getaway had been everything Jess had hoped for and more. As they lay in bed, wrapped in each other's arms, Jess couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness wash over her. But as the days passed, Jess began to feel a little off. She was tired all the time, and her body ached in ways she couldn't remember feeling before. At first, she brushed it off as exhaustion from the long drive and the activities they had planned for their weekend. But as the days turned into a week, Jess knew that something was up. She took a pregnancy test, her heart racing with anticipation. The minutes ticked by at a glacial pace as she waited for the results. Finally, the test revealed two pink lines, indicating that she was indeed pregnant. Jess was shocked. She and Pedro had been careful, but they had also been caught up in the moment. They had forgotten to take precautions, and now she was paying the price. Jess wasn't sure how to feel. A part of her was excited at the prospect of starting a family with Pedro, but another part of her was scared. Jess took a deep breath and tried to calm her racing thoughts. She knew she had to tell Pedro. She walked into the living room, where Pedro was sitting on the couch, strumming his guitar. He looked up as she approached him, a concerned look on his face. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, setting his guitar aside. Jess took a deep breath and held out the pregnancy test. Pedro's eyes widened as he took in the results. He looked at Jess, a mix of shock and excitement on his face. "We're having a baby," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Jess nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. Pedro got up and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "We're going to be parents," he said, his voice filled with emotion. As they hugged, Jess felt a sense of calm wash over her. She knew that she and Pedro would face challenges, but she also knew that they would face them together. Over the next few weeks, Jess and Pedro navigated the ups and downs of pregnancy. They attended prenatal appointments, read up on parenting books, and prepared their home for the arrival of their baby. As they sat on the couch, holding hands, and looking at the ultrasound pictures, Jess couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. They were having twins, two little miracles that would change their lives forever. Pedro squeezed her hand, his eyes shining with happiness. "We're going to be amazing parents," he said. Jess smiled, feeling a sense of joy wash over her. "We sure are," she said. As they sat there, wrapped in each other's arms, Jess knew that their love had created something truly special. And she couldn't wait to meet their little ones.
