Chapter 103
My mother stayed standing at the top of the 3rd floor railing and looking at me and Catherine at the bottom which made my skin crawl. "Ugh I'm coming mother, what the hell is wrong besides you, acting like a nutcase..." "Your father is coming to the house in the AM to pick me up... I have decided that you and him, are right but that does not mean I'm all too happy about this. There will be a long discussion once this is all done, and I've told your father I'm not sure we should pay for you to go to college in London. If that is where you choose to go, that'll just give you a reason to keep us even more out of your life... of course he's not too happy with either of us or my demands so right now you are winning this one" she said turning her back and walking away heading into my room. Sebastian had now been back near the door with a stone-faced look that I could not read how he was feeling but he looked all business like. "Ladies... should I stay or retire to my room now?" he asked looking at my mother instead of me. My mother looked at him with pure irritation, anger, and rolled her eyes and looked at me "Well he's not my bodyguard...." she spat out before sitting on my bed again and pulling the boxes towards her.
They were all starting to get on my nerves, and I knew I’d be going crazy before the night was over. "Sebastian do whatever makes you happy, since I have no real say in what happens in my life right now... but hope you liked the boxes... and well the little glance you obviously got looking at my open laptop. I guess my privacy doesn't matter and should get used to it since we're going to be stuck with one another for only GOD knows how long" I said hoping he would figure it out on his own and leave us alone. Catherine had greeted him as she came up the stairs with the house phone and looking upset at whatever just happened on the phone. "So that was your father in, deed and he, says I should probably stay with you while your parents are gone. Ha-ha and to keep you out of trouble, but I told them it was your call. Right, now it looks like maybe I should go and call you tomorrow and maybe should have...." "So I take it you don't know what is going on since you and the guys didn't even know she ever was pregnant to begin with" my mother cut her off as she was talking and about to leave us. I put my hands up and lost it "AMELIA.... STOP IT NOW.... NO SHE DOESN'T KNOW FOR FUCK SAKE I'D RATHER NO ONE ELSE KNOW AND REALLY DIDN'T PLAN ON TELLING ANY OF YOU BUT FATHER AND GRANDFATHER DID NOT GIVE ME MUCH CHOICE AND NOW HERE I AM WITH YOU TRYING TO KEEP IT COOL AND COLLECTED, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!! GO NOW!" I couldn't hold back even a little.
Ethan and my grandmothers were trying to keep me calm knowing whenever I got too worked up lately I either passed out or completely disappeared. I couldn't be doing those sorts of things in front of just anyone. "MIA..... shhh darling....." "Mia seriously calm yourself before something happens that you can't fully control right now" my grandmother said in a clear sharp tone that got me breathing more calmly and closed my eyes to catch a good breath. Catherine, Sebastian and my mother had still been where they were when I finally got myself together. I slowly opened my eyes to hopefully find that I was alone since I had blocked them all from my brain. "Are you done now.... did that help?" my mother asked with a quirk of her lip as though she was impressed with my outburst. Catherine and Sebastian had been standing closer together and looking at me as though I was someone they did not recognize. "So, you want me to be the boss now... fine Sebastian go retire yourself for the evening and get out of my face. Catherine I would say go, but now if I do that... that would just be me pushing you even farther out of my life. It is not what I want so.... looks like we're doing this again and in the, end it'll ultimately be your decision to make on whether you stay or go and ever talk to me again" I said walking to my bed grabbing the boxes.
Then took them to my closet and tossing them in the floor safe. I grabbed a fresh robe before heading into the bathroom to hang it up. I was pissed when I came back out and Catherine was in my closet unlocking the safe. "So, if you are going to tell me whatever it is you have to tell me I want to know now before you take a break and shower... I want to know instead of being put on the back burner again. Like you've been doing for God knows how long..." Catherine said as she picked up the boxes and carried them to the bed again. I put my hand out wanting her to come to me needing her to just hold me for a min like she used to when I would be having a bad day and she would find me in the closet going through Ethan's box. "Ok.... come here baby girl" she said as she wrapped her arms around me making me break and the crying was so fierce that I ended up shaking us both. "Promise me.... promise you'll stay and you'll let me explain the best way I can..." I begged as we held one another in a hug. I needed her to promise and really mean it, but I had a bad feeling come over me that she would never forgive me for this.
When it didn't, come I knew it was too much to ask from her at that moment and sighed knowing I would have to trust that our friendship could hold up. Along with our bond being strong enough to get us through the most difficult things in our lives to come. I finally let Catherine go when she pulled away and looked up at me with a brow raised and questioning eyes piercing me deep into my soul. "Ok fine, but at least promise you'll keep this between us for now and let me tell the guys, face to face not any sooner..." "Damn it, Mia.... just come to the bed sit down and go slow so I can fully process it all ok" Catherine said. I watched her walk to the bed and climb on sitting in the middle of it. While my mother sat on the other side of her leaving my side wide open for me to join them. I climbed in and stared at Sebastian who had yet to leave us alone and was not sure if he would or not. After giving him, the eye he left going just right next door to the bedroom that was the closest to the stairs.
The two of them stared at me waiting to go on and I took in a deep breath and pulled both boxes close feeling the need to protect them both. "Ok well you know about this box since it's Ethan's... which mother, it is mine now as you are the one who threw them out... so remember that when you try and take them. Also, no interrupting me until I'm finished with talking and showing what's in the other box. It has some major sensitive material that are well some are a little hard to see maybe not sure so here we go..." I said taking the lid off the box that held my baby girls, things in it. I passed her the baby books first and let her look through them and read the passages that I wrote down in them. Just as I thought she would think like everyone else did. "Are you trying to tell me they are alive?" she said in a whisper as tears started to roll down her face. I didn't answer as I reached across and turned the next page that held the last picture of them as they floated inside their little cryo-genetic tubs. "WHAT THE...." my mother touched Catherine's back to try and calm her knowing the feeling that she must have been feeling inside. "Cate it's okay honey... trust me I am not all that happy about it either, but we owe her to listen..." "THANK YOU AMELIA...." Catherine bit out through her clenched teeth in such pain.
Once the two of them gave me the indication I was ok to pick up and start again I started off slow again. "Now there are many reasons I have them there and as you can see, they are not alive and are older in gestation then I made you and everyone else believe. I know you all want to know how I kept it from you, and I should have had a belly at almost 5 months pregnant. Actually, just ate right and of course I went through the state of wearing things that covered me a bit more. Not only was I growing a belly but had bruises everywhere. Anyways Max does not even know this either. He thinks I had miscarried at only 16 weeks, and that when he pushed me down the bleachers at 18 weeks he just ya he doesn't know.. I don't ever want him to know but not sure that'll stay quiet. Especially when my mother wants to get them from the genetic place and have a funeral" I said looking at my mother who didn't deny it. "Doesn't his family have the right for closure and to go through these emotions too?" my mother asked.
