The flight took about seven hours and fifteen minutes. I spent my time on the flight writing my book, listening to music, watching movies and eating. At least that did not go to waste. In no time I was out of the air plane and making my way towards the arrival entrance of the air port. I tried looking for my mom but could not find her, she told me she was the one going to be picking me up.
"Hey mom." I answered the phone when I heard it ring from my back pocket.
"I am so sorry baby, I would not be able to make it. Your older cousin, Alexander is going to come pick you up okay?"
"Okay." I nodded alongside Eve if I know she couldn't see me.
"He is already on his way. Just ten more minutes."
"No problem." I responded as I she hung up the call.
I sighed as I picked up my bag and then looked for somewhere comfortable to sit. I texted
Jake and I were about seven minutes late to dinner and by the time we got home, almost the whole family was seated on the table talking about whatever knows what, well apart from Alexander and his wife. I am sure you can already tell, my mom told the whole family that Jake is my "boyfriend" can she not just keep something a secret!Jake got comfortable around my family quickly and no one seemed to notice the absence of chemistry or whatever it is called, between both of us. Jake sat beside aunt Pauline while I took my seat beside him.Mom already prepared one of her sweet delicacies. She always preferred to be alone in the kitchen whenever she wants to prepare a meal that is why no one ever helps her in the kitchen. I guess I took my baking skills from her though."Why don't we say a prayer?" My dad suggested and we all murmured in agreement as we joined out hands together."Gabriella?""Father, we bless you for giving us our
I am going to fucking kill Joe! She told him?! She promised not to! She is so dead by the time I see her. I turned around to face Jake only to see a friend marring his face. "You knew all this while that you were pregnant and didn't think I should know about it?" I could definitely hear the anger in his voice."Look, it's not my fault you didn't use a condom when we did whatever happened!" I crossed my arms around my chest."Because you told me not to!" He moved closer to me, he looked angry though.I did?"I was obviously drunk why would you listen to me! I stopped using my pills about a month or two months ago!""How did you expect me to know that?"I sighed as I rolled my eyes, "okay, you know I'm carrying your child what do you want to do now? I can take care of my child myself.""Firstly," he raised up a finger, "our child. That's our child." He pointed between us. "And secondly, move in with me.""
"You know my mom almost ate my head-" I paused mid sentence when I saw it was not Alex at the door.You have got to be kidding me! What is he doing here?!"What are you doing here?!" I whisper yelled at him as I moved outside and then closed the door."Joe gave me your Parent's address and since I came here to see one of my friends I decided to come here."Joe! Again?! I do not want to get mad at her, maybe she has a reasonable reason why she did this.I crossed my arms around my chest and then glared at him, "you expect me to believe what you just said?!"He shrugged and then placed his hands in his pocket."Can you please stop following me around! Just because I am carrying your child doesn't mean you can be everywhere I am!" At this point I was still whisper yelling."I think it does." He said in a plain voice."Maria!" I heard my mom's voice call from inside and I know any minute from now she'
Immediately Grace said her water just broke every single one of us, panic gripped us, not the smartest thing to do, I agree. But we could not help it. Alex immediately carried his wife in bridal style with all of us following him towards the car. I opened the house door for him so he would be able to go out and then also opened the door to the back seat for him. He placed Grace and then pecked her forehead, "you got this. I am here." He whispered and then she nodded her head."Someone needs to follow you." I said before he entered his car."Mom, come on." He said as he nodded his head towards him mom. Immediately she entered into the car Alex zoomed off. His mom sat at the back seat, probably to help Grace through the pain she was feeling.My mom told my grandparents to stay in the house, to save themselves from stress. My mom followed Aunt Elizabeth and my dad, Gabriella took another car with her twin brother while myself and Jake took his own car.
"They are so cute." I cooed as I played with their cheeks lightly. The babies were placed in their courts. My mom and dad already left to freshen up while Gabriella, Gabriel, Jake my grandparents and I were left in the room with Grace and Alexander."Have you guys decided on a name?" My grandmother asked as she took a seat beside the large window slowly crocheting her new sweater or beanie.Alexander looked at me and then, "we were thinking if Maria would so us the honour of naming one of the boys?" He gave me a questioning look, grinning.I gasped, "really?" I asked. My eyes were already watering."Yeah." He nodded himself and I looked over at Grace who was grinning also, her hands intertwined with Alexander's own.I inhaled and then exhaled loudly and then looked over at Jake who had a serious expression on. "Michael." I said."That is a very nice name." Grace looked up at Alexander."I love
"where are we going?" I asked Jake as he entered the car while I fastened my seatbelt."What do you want to eat?" He asked me as he started the car and then glanced at me waiting for my answer."I do not know." I shrugged. "Burger?" It came out more of a question.He chuckled and then, "burger it is."After a moment of comfortable silence with the radio playing in the background, "should you not be at work?" I asked and he glanced at me.I did not want him to take my tone as a rude one so I explained further, "you know, helping with my family and stuffs. You should have left your work behind." I paused. "What if your boss tells you to leave?" I asked."My boss?" He smirked."Yes, your boss." I replied pointedly."I am the boss of myself." He replied. When he noticed I was silent for a while he glanced at me with amusement playing in his eyes and a small smile on his lips, "you thought I
"I am gay."He did not just say that! His mom looked more angriere with his confession and my mom looked, shocked."What do you mean by you are gay?" My mom asked him her eyes turning to slits.Really mom? He freaking likes guys! That is the meaning."I like boys." He shrugged. And to be sincere, he really looks so at peace. Like he is not even bothered about the fact that the whole family might be against him."And you are so cool about this?" His mom asked, annoyed. At this point she was already turning red."Uh, um, Elizabeth I think you should calm down with this boy." My mom placed her hands on her shoulders and then lead her into the sitting as myself and Gabriel followed behind them."se calmer?!" (Calm down!)"Yes, I will need you to call down, because he is already old enough to make his own choices."I so did not except my mom to be this calm about it. I thought s
By the time Jake came out of the bathroom I was already in one of my huge t shirts tucked under my duvet already. I plugged in my ear piece and started my playlist with NF songs starting it."Asleep?" I heard Jake's voice ask."Nah." I murmured as I removed my earpiece."What are you listening to?" He took his seat on where he was before and then continued working."NF."He glanced back at me with a loop side grin, "hmmn, good choice.""I know right." I grinned. "What are you working on?" I asked as I plugged in my ear piece back but reduced the volume."Just some office stuffs.""Oh. Um, okay then, goodnight.""Goodnight.""But, make sure you sleep early since your flight is leaving early tomorrow.""Yes ma'am." He smiled.By the time I woke the next day Jake had already left to New York. He could have at least woke me up. I thought.&
