Chapter 97
The weekend seemed to go by with the snap of a finger but all that much closer to touring. Then seeing the places my father chose in case I decided I wanted to move across the world for school. My voice was still weak but could whisper which made things much better though I had to remember not to get to worked up. My mother had been a little under the weather for the last 24 hours which left me and my aunt and uncle hanging out and having a great time doing so. My father had taken care of my mother all weekend which made me have hope that things would turn around. However, I was still worried that my mother would not put 2 and 2 together and with her love of wine I had to just do what I had to do. I had walked into the master bedroom to say good night to my parents who were relaxing and knew that things might change. I swung a bag in the air "I got you both a little something which could be good but bad at the same time... so get ready!" I whispered and took out a pregnancy box and tossed it at the end of the bed.
Both my parents sprung to their feet and looking at me as though it were me who would be taking the test. "No... good god who's could it be?" My father looking at me with questing eyes along with my mother who went towards the bar in their room. I moved quickly across the floor grabbing the box and to the bar. "Noooooo it's not me and not for me for you! Just trust me...." I begged handing her the box while I took the tumbler of amber liquid she had poured and gave it to my father. "As for you, you might want to sit down and take this!" I said with a smile. My mother laughed as she looked at the box "not a chance I'm too old and I'd know if...." she stopped thinking about it and looked at me. "I had mine 2 weeks ago and we are synced so there you go now go! And one last.... thing you're only 37 plenty young to have another!" I whispered as loud as I could. I grabbed another tumbler and filled it with the Jack Apple that was sitting on the shelf and sat next to my father who was just staring at the bathroom door waiting for my mother to return. "Hey.... relax it's not like you've never done this before..." I whispered and took a sip of the Jack letting it slide gracefully down my throat.
10 mins later my mother joined us as the test sat in the bathroom finishing up the results. "How.... how do you know I'm pregnant.. I did not even think twice about it since I'm getting older, and my cycles are lighter and ya..." my mother whispered as she gripped my hand tight in hers and I knew that my parents were terrified at the thought of becoming parents again. I wasn't sure what I was going to say since I'd never been down this road with them and for me, I was alone doing it all even though I knew they'd be there for me regardless. The timer beeped a few mins later and we all just sat there with my parents who were in shock. They both just stared at the bathroom door as though the test would tell them from where they were sitting. "Well, I guess I'll check it even though I'm sure that it's going to be positive and then I'll leave the two of you to discuss whatever you want to do now" I whispered as I got up and headed into the bathroom. I stared at the stick as it read digital that she was pregnant and for a moment felt a little jealous after almost 16 years I'd been the only child for them.
We had all still been carrying around the pain of losing my twin brother Ethan III. I carried the stick with me and my phone as I sat between my parents and they both just went with the motion of me snapping a photo of the 3 of us and the pregnancy stick. "Oh, this is going to be a great picture for the baby book" I whispered and laughed when my father groaned, and my mother started hysterically laughing. I knew that this would be a change for all of us and they now had to decide where they went from this point on. I of course hoped they would keep it and get back together. "I'm going to go and settle in for the night while the two of you just umm I guess talk about this, keep laughing or whatever. I'll see you in the morning for the tour and seeing the places you set up for housing if I move here" I whispered kissing them both on the cheek.
After a quick shower and putting things away that I had picked up while out I headed down to the kitchen to have a snack. Also, to talk to my aunt and uncle who were actually hanging out with one another for once. "So, what was all that laughing coming from your parents, room earlier?" "Ya we were like what is happening right now, and moms and pops were like it's none of our business, if they want us to know they'll tell us" Bruce and Savannah wanted to know what I knew which I couldn't tell them since it wasn't my thing to tell. "Umm well it's pretty interesting and I'm sure they'll tell us when they are ready. Not to mention the shock has worn off but let me just say they thought it was me and got heated up for a minute" I said hoping I didn't give too much of it away. They both just smiled and looked at me even more confused than they had looked before. My cell phone chimed at me with an in-coming facetime call and when I looked, I could not believe it and who it was. I almost did not answer since I was now nervous and still could not really talk. "Damn just answer it...." Savannah said as it was on its last ring and then snatched the phone from me answering it herself. "Well umm hello.....there" she said with pure desired heat in her voice as she hissed through her teeth. I was waving my arms at her trying to get my phone back not wanting to have to get off the stool since I was actually comfortable. "Come on Savi give me the phone....." I whispered straining my voice trying to get volume.
Bruce laughed and got in the frame of the phone's camera with his sister. "Damn..... well hello there and who might you be?" he asked in a tone close to his sister and I knew they were only looking at her looks and yes she was a goddess in that department. "Hi... I'm Sharene I was part of the crew on the Yacht until I had to leave unexpectedly…umm anyways is Mia around?" she asked in a tone of nervousness. Savannah decided she was not done as she kept talking not letting Sharene get a word in as my aunt was just gabbing asking her questions but did not give her room to answer. "Damn Savi take a breather and give me the phone please....!" I begged and finally got off the stool and chased her around the kitchen. I finally got ahold of her and picked her up in my arms and took her to the couch pinning her to it until she gave me the phone back. "FINE, FINE.... here... damn Mia you are a beast...." Savannah gasped when I finally let her up after she handed me the phone. Savannah finally handed me the phone and I just held it away from me as I caught my breath. I did not want Sharene to see me all crazed out of my mind and still nervous to even look at her. "Mia.... hello are you there?" Sharene asked loudly into the speaker.
