Chapter 2

  What is Happening

  What is going on? I feel like I'm being pushed though a very small hole by waves of water. I turn slightly to look at Vlad to see if he is feeling the push also. Oh no! He somehow wrapped his rope around his neck and is turning blue. I tried to tell him, all those flips and flops he was doing was going to get him in trouble. He never listens to me. Oh well. I know can't let die regardlessof how bad he smells. He is my Yin. I know I need to save him now!

  I use all my strength to ignore the water pushing on me and crawl back up to where Vlad is. He is trying to avoid being strangled by his own rope. He isn't laughing. He is crying but no sound is coming from him.

  He needs help. My help! How can I help him? The rope is too tight for me to get loose. I do the only thing I know to do. I shove him. He needs to be out first so the doctor can save him.

  I shove him as hard as I can. Perhaps a little a little too hard, just a little payback for all the farts in my face and forced feet in my mouth. As soon as I push him, a bright white light flashes. It hurts my eyes. I squeeze them shut. Then I hear a cry. I know that cry! Vlad! He made it! He is alive! He is scared and lonely. He's crying for me. Little does he know, I have no intention of coming out just yet besides I not feeling the push, I am tired and for the first time, I feel weak. Like I lost something, that was a part of me. I lean back and just relax and listen to the outside world. I hear someone who I this is talking.

  We thought she was going to be born first too. We don't know what happened. I was watching the Sonogram and Ultrasound videos of their birth. She was on her way out. Yeah I know. All of a sudden she was back at the top. It looked like she pushed him down to the canal.

  There was a bright flash as soon as she reached for him. Yes I know. It is very strange. When D pushed, came out so fast, Lou almost dropped him. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. He was blue, Lou worked fast and was able save him. Yes I know. He is bigger than he was measured in the images. No one can make sense of what has happened .Baby Girl is measuring smaller. Maybe it is best if you and dad come. I hope you can figure out what has happened.

  I'm glad Vlad is ok, but bigger? That is a something I can't explain either because I am bigger, at least I was. It wasn't until he was hurting that I used my size against him. That was only ghe way I could help him. I'm glad I did it and would do it again, despite how smelly he is. What did happen?

  Now I have the whole space to myself, I should be happy but it feels empty. I should be swimming happily around with all this room I have now. Instead I'm staying still and thinking about what happened, what did happen? What is going to happen? What is going on outside with Vlad and wondering when will come to be pushed out?Did I miss my chance when I swapped places with him?

  I can't make myself move from the top of this small hole, just thinking and looking down. Waiting. Waiting for the water we have been swimming in to start to drain again, pushing me through that dark hole.

  Vlad's point of view.

  I love doing flips, I was doing several in a row when the waves of water came. Some was draining out. I got scared and turned the wrong way. My rope got wrapped, the more I tried to get it off, the more tighter it was getting. I looked at my sister who was about to get pushed in the tube by the waves, I was crying but couldn't yell at her to help me. She must had felt something was wrong and turned her head to look at me. I don't know how she fought against the water gushing at her but she got up to me. She tried to get loosen the rope but couldn't and I couldn't move to help her. She reached out and used her bigger size to push me into the hole. As soon as she touched me though, a bright light filled our swimming pool. I suddenly felt stronger, bigger and more powerful. One push, the bright light, I was out. The light is bright here, but not as bright as when my Yang pushed me.

  Then my rope was unwrapped and I could breathe again. I'm crying because I'm scared and I miss my twin. I want her with me again, I want to hear her stories, I need her beside me again so I won't be so scared out
