Unexpected Journey
She was speechless, the little stick had turned blue. She took the box with the instructions and her world crushed. She heard her gandmother singing outside the bathroom, she was preparing dinner while her brother read a book. Tears were threatening to leave her eyes, a familiar feeling overwhelmed her, lonelyness. She could still remember the painful moment she'd lived when she tried to call him . A woman with a seductive voice had picked up and spoken, she'd told her that he was still sleeping, Sophie knew what that meant and before she could listen to something more , she hung up.
The sound of the clock's hands were increasing her headache, she would have to tell them, she couldn't lie to them, they were her family and the only people she could rely on.
Sophie took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door, her grandmother was already serving the food and her brother was sitting at the table , the older woman smiled at her with sweetness.
"Take your seat, darling" she said and sat next to the young man.
Sophie just stood there, reuniting the strength she'd need, she lifted her eyes and noticed that both of them were staring at her.
"I need to tell you something" she said quietly, they were looking at her with concern.
" I'm pregnant" she said without delay, she'd learned that it was better to tell bitter truths quickly, that way you didn't feel its flavor, she closed her eyes and tried to imagine that it was all a dream, that soon she'd be in that comfortable room in Florence, next to the man she loves, or at least she used to, but a sudden noise made her come back to the real world.
Her grandmother was standing in front of her, with a tired look on her face and the hint of a smile, there was no disapproval or disappoinment, but comprenhension, the young woman started breathing normally again and listened to her grand-mére.
"I can't tell you what to do with your life, Sophie" she lowered her head "I'd never could...and I want you to know that the child that you're carrying is going to receive all the possible love to give from us." Sophie started sobbing and the woman held her , there was a long silence between everybody and then her brother approached and looked at her, he had the same look that her grandmother, but he wanted to ask something, she knew it.
She looked at him and before he could open his mouth she answered him.
"It's Robert's" he sighed slowly and then he hugged her too.
She was trying to sleep , the room was comfortable and silent, but she just couldn't, there were a lot of ideas walking though her head, she was about to get out of bed when the door opened and Marie Chauvel entered.
"I knew you'd be awake" she was wearing the night gown Sophie had given her, she'd mentioned something about her taste about night clothing, but it didn't matter.
Somehow she had known that there was something different with her granddaughter since the moment she had walked through the door, there was a glow surrounding her, the same she'd seen when Sophie's mother had been expecting her. Although she had accepted the reality, she was still a little concerned about how Sophie was going to manage working and taking care of her baby without help, they were too far and they couldn't leave the Chapel.
She stared at the readhead and sat next to her, the fresh air made its way trough the semi opened window, Sophie turned around to face the other woman and when she did, she felt her eyes starting to burn a little, she knew more tears wanted to come, but she just didn't know why, she was happy, her family was supporting her and everything was going to be okay, her Grandma saw the sparkling salty liquid reuniting in her green eyes and she hugged her and stroke her hair, she'd come to ask her some questions, but this wasn't the right moment, so she just stayed there, holding and consoling her.
After a little while, Sophie was already asleep, so Marie thought it was time to leave. But she heard Sophie mumbling something.
"Did you say something, darling?" she asked with hesitation, but she received no answer, she thought she'd just imagined it, but when she opened the door she heard it agin, but this time Sophie had said it louder and she heard it. Robert, she'd said.
Yes, well, she never knew what happened between Robert Langdon her ,but she was sure it was something big enough for her not wanting to tell him she was pregnant with his child, she didn't gave her opinion because she knew her granddaughter would never accept it, but she knew that sooner or later the truth would be revealed.
