Can Fate Be Wrong?
Kit was back in Wethersfield for a week to visit her newlywed cousins and her aunt and uncle. She was with Nat, of course. They had sailed here on their new boat, The Witch. She was proud of their new boat, and was even prouder at the reason they had come back to Connecticut. As the family were all settling down, Kit was near bursting. She squeezed Nat's hand for support. He squeezed it back happily and smiled at her. He was also near bursting, Kit thought to herself.
"Well Kit. What is it?" Matthew asked a little impatient. She giggled as Judith and Mercy shushed him.
"Well," she said "Me and Nat have come to tell you.. I'm pregnant." Nat stood up and threw his arm around her waist and pulled her toward him. Kit looked around happily. Her smile began to fade slowly as she saw her family's jaws drop. She looked at Nat, all her confidence and happiness gone. She looked sad and ashamed of herself. Suddenly she heard Mercy giggle. She turned quickly toward her. Mercy's, Judith's, and Rachel's eyes were all filled with tears of joy. She ran up to them and gave them each their own hug. She shook Matthews and Johns hands but felt awkward with William. She looked at him and smiled warmly, and he smiled back. Suddenly Kit had a feeling of regret, but when she looked back to Nat, who as well, was shaking Mathews hand, and talking with him, she smiled to herself and knew she had made the right choice.
Sorry for such a short chapter. Fate goes wrong in about 2 chapters.
