Chapter 14
“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.
