SHANA
Zari and I talked over the phone two nights ago. They were planning to come and visit me here in NY next month or two months from now, that's what she said. I still did not mention to her about me being pregnant even my parents and other siblings.
Lucky for me, they do not see my whole body when we do video calling. I see to it that I am sitting covered with my pillow. They even noticed that I looked fat but I made some story on that. They did not pursue with those fatty topics and enjoy talking about what I missed with their lives.
Anyway, it was unexpectedly surprising that Zari was here secretly visiting me without prior notice. Well, she will be going to be in her shocking face once seeing me what I am now in front of her.
I was standing at the center of the living room waiting for Zari to come up. It never took long I heard the doorbell. Walking towards it to open for her. Taking a deep breath and fixing myself.
As the door opened and saw her standing in front of me with her eyes wide open, I know what it means.
After she was gaining her senses, "Y-you are pregnant…" it was the first sentence she says to me face to face.
"I guess, I am," I said, grinning to her reaction. I grabbed her arms inside forcedly because she was standing there like a statue. Not planning to move inside and I cannot stand longer with my status right now.
I almost burst to laugh when I saw her face shocking, frozen with what she was seeing in me.
"Are you keeps on looking at me the whole day or we could be patching up with stories?" I asked.
"How?" She blinked. "Why did you not tell me about it? Why I did not know that you are pregnant? Do Mom and Dad knows?" then she snapped. "No, wait, I think our family does not know anything about this, right?"
I shook my head. "No, I haven't told them my situation but Jake and George knew about this. I wanted to tell our parents but not now. Maybe one of these days since you already saw me first." I chuckled.
"I will going to kick Jake's ass once I see him. He never even mentioned it to me. When will be the pop out date of this angel?" she asked while placing her hands on my tummy. "Wait, who's the father? Is he the owner of this Penthouse?"
I nodded. "Yes, it's Colton Torres." I replied.
"I knew it that it was you. And I knew this place is owned by Colton."
"What?" I was confused what she was talking about that I did not know what it was.
"I said I know it was you who met Colton with my last engagement some months ago." Smiling at me still rubbing my tummy.
"You already met each other?" I asked. "How?"
I saw her grinning. "Yeah, we met in Paris. He walked towards me and say my name. Then I was confusing that time because I haven't really met him. Anyway, Leo and Colton were cousins." She explained. "Wait, I'll text Leo that he should cancel the dinner tonight and come here instead." She mumbled and quickly sends a message to Leo.
"What Vince and Colton are related?" I asked. "What dinner?"
"We are planning to have a dinner tonight, of course, with Colton." Zari explained. "I was thinking of a matchmaking but I did not know you two are already living together. But not just that shocking part. There is baby involve so I guess it would be fine in here."
"Okay, that would be great since I do not feel like going out lately and I am eight months already. By next month, I can see this little angel in my arms." I smiled looking at my tummy.
"I still cannot wait and still I cannot believe you are the first one to give Mom and Dad their first grandchild." She said happily.
"Yeah, but you are the first one who get married. I am happy for you twin." I told her.
"I know, I am happy for you too with the baby going to pop out soon. So, when will that be the day to be Mrs. Torres?" I think Colton and me are still in coping up with baby thing. I mean, us is still questionable for me.
I did not respond right away. "I do not know what our status but I am okay with what Colton and I have. For the sake of our baby, I will endure it because I do not want our baby to see us living separately. Of course, I do not want that to happen not seeing his or her dad. I do not think Colton will agree to that."
I talked to her honestly about our situation and everything I feel about my new life. I never keep any more secrets to her. She is always the one who give me motivation and encouragement that it will come in the right moment. Love is the most powerful thing on earth. Have faith, just what Zari reminded me.
Yeah! I know that's what our mother told us. She told us about their love story. I almost forgot that my parents love was tested by time.
Love? Well, Colton and I were still not there yet. We still have a lot of things to learn for ourselves. As long as we are in good terms with each other. As long as our baby matters, I am happy with it.
This whole situation was given to us for a reason. That reason may be good or bad as long as we both unite as one. Nothing is impossible.
Ever since I live in his place, he was taking good care of all my needs. He even joined me with my check-up appointment to my doctor. Every moment of it made my heart fonder.
