She banged loudly and coldly at the door without feeling. She had promised she would be back with trouble and this she did.
"William! William! I know you're in there, you come out this instant!" Olivia continued banging on the white, hard wood door and the house shook!
"Hey!" Someone called to her from above, Olivia turned around in shock searching for the voice.
"Hey Olivia, up here!" Mrs Johnson stuck her head out the window from her room upstairs, she could see the whole street from up there. She looked down at Olivia determined to give her a piece of her mind.
"Do you know that this is the Johnson residence? Why are you being childish, do you want to bring down the house?" She stopped and adjusted her weight on the window frame.
"I-- ", Olivia tried to speak up.
"If you don't leave this instant, I'll call the police on you, you hear me?!"
"I'm sorry ma'am but I ain't leaving till I see William, I'll just have to keep banging on the door until he comes out!".
"I said leave this instant! Or I'll-- ".
"It's alright mum, let me handle this. Thanks!", William quickly put in as he came out of the house to join Olivia outside.
"Olivia, do you really have to come here making a scene?".
"I'm sorry Will, I have to, I thought you were ignoring me", she spoke out, this time with a calm voice.
"Where's Audrey?".
"She's with my mum". William nodded, stiffly.
"Come inside will you? Let's discuss things maturely". William led her in and shut the door behind. They walked briskly yet steadily to the living room. A beautiful slender figure in a brown, long-sleeved mini gown sat composedly on one of the blue sofas. Her hands were perfectly relaxed on her laps, her brown hair was rolled into a pony tail. At the sound of the almost silent footsteps, she turned around to see William and Olivia entering the living room, she gulped down all the anxiety which had been in between her throat. Amelia had to do a very strange thing today because she was a good soul, but still it tormented her, it made her legs weak. She prayed, hoped and wished that all this was a dream-- a nightmare she could awake from, she had only been married for only a year, they were still in the honeymoon period. Now, she had to take a step she was sure that no other woman would take. She had prepared herself for the outcome of her decision, she reminded her heart every beating second that this was all for the baby Audrey.
She watched as William walked into the room in his pajamas, how he directed Olivia to one of the other chairs opposite her. Every step William took, how he exchanged his feet to walk towards her; she took into notice. Will sat closely to his wife on the sofa, placing a hand on her shoulder, squeezing it fiercely. They exchanged looks, almost as if they were communicating. Amelia adjusted herself well on her seat then breathed out sharpely.
"Hello Olivia", Amelia managed to smile. Olivia was still looking in all directions of the room, amazed by the strange, dark structure and design of the living room. At the sound of Amelia's greeting, she shifted her attention to Amelia's face.
"Hi Amelia, how do you do?" She chuckled.
"How do you do? You're welcome to our home. Uh-- where's Audrey?"
"She's at my mum's, she had fallen asleep after I fed her, so-- I didn't want to wake her up!" Amelia nodded in agreement.
"William and I have discussed things and also came to an agreement", she added slowly, then cleared her throat. "After hearing your explanation the other day, I earnestly see things from your point of view. And I've decided that-- uh--", she swallowed, deeply. "We should become a family!"
Olivia's eyes widened and she gasped.
