“Skylar you look so pale...” vanessa said
worriedly, as she extended her hand to touch my face when we entered our dining
room, but i stepped back. “No, I’m...I’m okay. Just a little bit tired.”
Tim slapped me upside
head. “Sleepyhead, you’ve been sleeping like three hours and ur still tired?!”
he said jokingly. How well had he hiden our sadness, or our secret. Well...he
wasn’t the one pregnant though.
Thinking it was the
best way to keep it hidden, i slapped him on the arm and within seconds, we
were slapping each other playfully while we helped Vanessa to serve the table.
“Kids, stop.” My dad
said laughing.
After me and Tim were
satisfied hurting each other, we could have finally going to eat our dinner. As
we sat around the table, Vanessa hit her forehead with her palm and spoke:
“OMG, i forgot to
bring the sphagetti, silly me...” she looked at me. “Honey will you bring
it please?” I nodded and stood up,
walking towards the kitchen. I could hear Vanessa’s voice complaining about
still being overexcited about “something”. As i took the dish from the oven and
went back to dining room, Tim asked why she was so excited.
My dad and Vanessa
looked at each other happily and held each others’ hands, then turned their
sparkling eyes towards us. Tim shot a quick look to me, then lookes at them
again. I was standing in the middle of the room with the dish still in my
hands.
“My beautiful vanessa
is going to have a baby.” My dad announced excitedly. Soon as he finished his
words, a huge crashing sound was heard. I heard and felt it too, cos this sound
had came from the dish i was holding a few seconds ago.
“God, Skylar, did you
hurt?” my dad and Vanessa had promptly got up and came near me.
“No I’m...I’m
alright.” I managed to say as my dad made me sit down on the chair and searched
my legs for glass bits but luckily there were no bits.
“I’m just too
surprised, that’s why i dropped it. I’m sorry.” I explained. “I wasn’t
expecting this, but i’m very happy for both of you, i’m going to have a sib!!!”
I added, acting as i was very happy and excited. Later i would have Tim begging
me to take acting classes. But i wouldn’t want Vanessa to think that i didn’t
want her and her baby. I sure knew how sensible pregnant women could be. cough cough.
Half an hour later
when we were eating our pizza, Vanessa and my dad explained us that it was two months
old and they were going to marry after te baby(ies) born.
“Now i have a six
moths tour, which is going to start next Monday.” My dad told which meaned i
just had three more days to spill everything out, i wouldn’t want my dad to
have a heart attack when he came back and saw her daughter pregnant as well.
Good God, now tell me
what to do.
