Now I have a new boyfriend and I been with him for about 1 month now and we never used protection either, but now I have missed my period and my stomach is starting to show now. My boyfriend now is a twin so could my stomach be that big because I'm having twins? Please help me out.

 You need to get straight to the doctor, young lady! Make that the very next thing you do.
The first thing you need to do is get tested for sexually-transmitted infections, since you haven't been using condoms. You've been exposed to all your last boyfriend's partners and their partners, and their partner's partners... And now you have a NEW boyfriend's partners!
You don't need an infection or disease to make things harder than they are.
As to your pregnancy, if your belly is starting to show already than you're probably more than 2 or 3 months pregnant, which suggests it might be your old boyfriend's baby. It's possible to have a light period even when you're in the first month or two of pregnancy, though it's unusual. THAT'S why you need to go to the doctor and arrange to get an ultrasound done on the baby. That will also answer your question about twins (though it's very unlikely that that's why you're already showing).
You can also ask them about a DNA test to show who the father is. You'll need to get at least one of your boyfriends to provide a "mouth swab", which is a cotton-swab that they rub against their cheek.
You sound pretty young and I'm guessing this is your first pregnancy... Have you thought about how what you're going to do if you decide to keep the baby? Does your current boyfriend know that he might not be the father? You should contact a pregnancy-referral line (look in the phone book) and talk to the person there, who will tell you about options that you have, other than the obvious ones.
I know it's kind of frightening, all this stuff happening at once, but try not to freeze up. You have to do something right now, because the earlier you act, the more choices you have.
Take care dear, and be strong!
