My parents decided to surprise me since I had not come to see them. In my defense, I had a feeling that my mum will see right through me. They also wanted to know why I'm back.
"Is there a reason you are avoiding us?" my mother says immediately. I shake my head. "You haven't still gotten a job?" my father asks. I nod.
"Why?" I don't know how to answer that question, and I break down in tears and tell them all that had happened. My father looks very angry, and I know it will take him nothing to take my older brothers, to go and confront Lucien. I shake my head. "No dad. It will only be embarrassing. He has me blocked everywhere, and I am also blacklisted. He told me that it is a miracle he did not have me arrested, and he is right. He locks people up for the reason I am blacklisted."
"But you did nothing," my father says. I nod. "I know I am innocent, but he doesn't know that so, it is fine. I want nothing to do with him anyways." Funny because I am expecting twins, and he is the biological father.
My father goes outside to cool off, and my mother looks at me intently. I squirm under her gaze, and I wonder if she knows, but she shouldn't. I am not even showing. She comes closer to me, and asks, "How many months?"
I raise my eyebrow in question. "Don't lie to me Genevive Willow Evans." I sigh. "a little over two months. I realized I had missed my period weeks ago, and had gone to-"
My mother nods in understanding. "Why didn't you?"
"If all goes well, I am having twins." With tears in my eyes, I say, "I know. It is not what you and dad wanted for me. I am sorry. I should have been more careful."
My mother wipes my tears away, and her eyes shine with unshed tears. "Don't cry sweetheart," she says. "Would I have preferred you to be with your husband while being pregnant? Yes, but you are having twins. These babies came from love. I know right now it does not look like things are going your way, but I want you to always know that your parents are here for you. Whenever you need a breather, or you want to go to work, we will take care of these angels. Do you hear me?"
I nod. She hugs me, and I say, "Don't tell dad yet."
"Why not?" my father asks coming into the room. "You plan on keeping my grandbabies from me?" He comes over to me and hugs me. "You have your family. We are here with you, always. I may not be happy with the situation you're in right now, but I will be there for you always."
My parents finally go, after I promised to keep them in the loop. The only people I am dreading having to tell, are my brothers. I do an online project, and Ama finally comes back from work. "How did it go with your parents?" I grin. "It went well, and they both found out I'm pregnant. They spent a lot of time reassuring me and telling them that they will be here for me."
She looks at me and narrows her eyes, "You have not met with your brothers yet right?"
I nod. "In my defense, Giovanni is busy in the hospital, so he has no free time, and Gareth is with his family."
She grins at my excuse. "You are scared. I would be too, if those were my brothers. They will probably want to get on the next flight and roughen Lucien up. Wouldn't that be nice though?"
I grin. "I can't lie, I am tempted, but it won't be worth it. He will probably have them arrested."
She nods. "I hate that guy."
"You and me both my friend. You and me both. Did anything interesting happen at work?"
"Is anything interesting supposed to?"
"Maybe."
"I am still new love. I am a new nurse. Hopefully, I will be able to get work gossip for you soon."
"Thank God."
She rolls her eyes at me, and asks, "How are my godchildren doing?"
I raise my eyebrow at her, and ask, "Who told you that you will be their godmother?"
She glares at me. "I dare you to give someone who is not me. Just know that you will be gone."
I laugh at her reaction. "They are okay. I mean, I have not had any case of morning sickness. It's almost like I am not pregnant."
She snickers. "Say that to the lab reports on the table," she says. I flip her off which fuels her laughter. We both eat, and I feel like maybe there is hope and happiness. I can still do it, and I will not have to do it alone. I have my family here with me, and they will always be by my side.
