Chapter 100
Especially since it would not be a good thing for any of us for the rest of the day. "Bruce...." "So, who peed in the two of yours cheerios this morning? I heard laughing last night and now it's like you two had some type of I don't know...." I tried my best to say something but of course it was to, late for us all. "BRUCE.... my problems are none of your business... if you'd all excuse me I need to make a few calls and then angel I'll be ready to head out with you and mother for the tour. Bruce as for you if you're tagging along, I am not putting up with your shit so watch it" my father said as he got up from the table and disappeared. My mother Amelia was looking upset and in her own head and wondered if I could hear her thoughts if I thought hard enough. I closed my eyes and focused on my mother and the way she was breathing to match her rhythm. "I don't think I'll be able to do this on my own... my daughter is going to leave me like my husband already has... fuck if I have twins then what... do I abort before it's too late or give them up... and what did Ethan mean by there's more to Mia's babies that I don't know about... Jesus..." I sucked in a deep breath as I was sucked into the thoughts of my mother whose head was just a spinning ball of worry and thoughts of dis-pare.
A second later I was on my feet without thinking and at my mothers side bending down "Mother..... I promise things will be ok, you'll make the right decision in what you want and just remember I'm always going to be here whether I live close or far. I'm fine with whatever decision you decide but remember it's not just you in this it's father too…Even me so take that into consideration please. As for my life and issues and things I haven't told you yet not to worry since father pretty much told me that I'd have to tell you when we got home. I'd rather wait to see what you decide and then make my timing to tell you" I whispered as I held her hand in mine. "Wh--what ummm" my mother was at a loss for words as I pretty much just dropped a bomb into her thoughts and answered her own questions she was thinking. My grandfather along with my aunt and uncle watched us and my mother was so focused on me that she blinked before her eyes were wide with more thoughts swirling in her mind. "There is no way.... can she hear my thoughts, no no no" I raised a brow as she was speeding through her mind as though she was on some type of drug. "Mother relax take a few deep breaths ok things are going to be ok I promise. Now how about you go finish getting ready so we can head out for the best day ever!" I whispered wanting it to be true even though her and my father seemed so far apart now.
We were all out of the house by 10:00 am with everyone heading off into their own directions and cars. Bruce and I sat together while my parents sat in the front part of the SUV with the driver and father's bodyguard in the passenger seat. I was not surprised to see another SUV following us and looked to have Sebastian and another guy in it which had to be my mother's guy. "I'm so fucking excited about all of this, I mean the fact that I've been accepted into all these schools and am now running out of time to decide which one to attend. Bruce what would you do if you had this opportunity or..." "Ha who is to say I wasn't where you are right now? Because actually you come from a long line of smart people as though you couldn't tell...I was accepted to all the best schools, but after a couple of semesters I knew it wasn't for me. I crushed grand-dad's heart along with our grandfather who wanted us all to take after them. Your father tried to make them both happy by at least trying both medical school and then ultimately decided on law-school. He took all the AP classes in high school even landing him 3 classes his JR and SR year at Yale but what good did that do?" Bruce laughed as he remembered the stories since he was still little and going through his own issues as a kid.
I knew the stories of course but hearing them from Bruce made them that more funny since my father was the oldest by 8 years and paved the way for his brother and sister. Whom still followed their own dreams just like he had. We arrived at the school and joined up with the adviser and a couple of students who were on the committee. They would have the task to show people around the school for potential students. I was happy to have our own tour this time since I had been with my friends and a group of potential students the last time, I had been there which at that time was one big party for us. I got to answer all the questions that would help me decide and I loved that I could have the run of things. Even though I knew it was because my parents had other things on their minds now. Bruce and I had fun sitting in on a couple of classes and they were of literature, the introductions into the human mind and unlocking the other % of the brain that most people never got to do. I found it very telling since I was now experiencing some very new things and using parts of my brain that I did not even know I could. "Oh, this would be a blast sis.... this goes on the top of the list for now, this could actually be beneficial for us both" Ethan said as we finished up the last 10 mins of the class.
Bruce and I along with Ethan were having fun while my parents just watched and listened but had been in their own bubbles too. I wanted to try and help but how was I supposed to do that when they were so far apart. "Well, are they fighting their hearts and the fact that they didn't think about the possibility of becoming prego again when they were bumping uglies? I mean damn it...." I thought as we finished up the tour and was welcomed to attend a few extra things that would be taking place for the students who were taking advantage of attending school early. "Wow ok that sounds awesome and I can bring a couple people or no?" I asked since I thought I would bring Savannah and Bruce along if I decided to come back for the extra stuff. I was given permission to bring along the whole family if they wanted to come and even the dean had made an appearance. He spoke to my father after introducing himself. He looked at my father as though they might know one another or know one another's work. They had excused themselves from our little gathering which was odd to me and even Ethan. "Hmmm maybe it's if I decide to attend and the security measures or something... because what else would there be?" I thought to myself and Ethan who was still hanging around. "Who knows it could be anything by now nothing surprises me with dad" he said as though he was confused too.
We had joined back up with my grandparents and Savannah for dinner at a local place in the village they had found that was off the beaten path and private. My parents were still pretty distant from one another but at least sitting close together as though maybe they had decided on whatever they were to do now that they would be expecting another child. My grandparents could tell there was something going on and my grandfather was not the type to hold back just like his son Ethan Jr. "Son... what is happening with the two of you? Things have been looking good the last week and from the conversation we had a week ago or so you were in a good head space again and...." "Look if you all must know right now I'm fucking pregnant...." my mother stood with her hands on her hips yelling at us. Savannah and Bruce just started laughing while my grandparents were wide eyed and mouthed at my mother's outburst with my father and I just sitting quietly staring at my mother as though she had grown 2 extra heads. Ethan was in my head laughing too as our mother was acting like a pregnant woman with her hormones all out of whack.
The waitress left the table when my mother freaked out not wanting to be there in our business but watched from a distance to give us time before she came back over. After what felt like hours already and I just wanted to give whatever support I could. I took my mother to the bathroom to calm her down before she got all crazy again and said something she could not take back. "Ok well that was interesting and very insightful for me ha-ha I'm used to you being so ummm well tame in that aspect of yourself. I take it by you and fathers’ weird behavior that you are still in shock and trying to figure out what you are going to do? I hope you make the decision based on what you want not what you think anyone else wants. I'm here for you no matter what" I said doing my best to keep my mother calm.
After a good 25 mins away from everyone my mother was good again and ready to join everyone back at the table. "I'm good, and yes shock is what is hitting us now and a little happy but what happens when we go back home? and he leaves us to live in his new place. I mean he's the one who moved out thinking it would be easier and gave up fighting" my mother said in a tone I knew all too well. If we are not careful, she could end up having a nervous break, but I could also hear the want which told me she wanted to keep the baby. I promised not to bring anything up again and would wait for them to talk to me about it next and would support them both on their decision. Our table was full of appetizers and drinks with my whole family smiling as we arrived back with my grandparents rising to their feet and coming around to hug my mother and apologizing for asking to many questions at the wrong time. "I just can't believe I'm going to be a grandmother again and really thought it would be Savannah or Bruce next thinking you two were done" my grandmother said.
