Just to make sure I understand your question: you just recently started back on hormonal contraception (this time, the pill), and were taking them for only 1 week plus a few days. Then, during the 2nd week of pills, you missed 2 pills in a row? Did you double-up on your missed pills the following two days?
What does your patient information pamphlet tell you about missing 2 pills, and then using alternative birth control? I am unsure about your brand, but most of the 28-day cycle pills say to double-up on your missed pills, and use alternative protection (condom) for the following 7 days.
If you had unprotected sex during those "following 7 days", there is a chance of pregnancy. If you are expecting your period and you have not started any menstrual bleeding, you may want to take a pregnancy test and/or call your doctor.
