A/N – Well, here's the prologue of my sequel to Little Shop of Hope. If you can call it a prologue. This is basically going to tell you what's been going on in the Krelborns' lives in a nutshell. Expect 12 chapters following this, to be updated (hopefully) regularly. Oh, and I've decided that Audrey's due mid-August.
Little Shop of Happiness
Prologue
The two looked at her, and Seymour asked, "Honey? What'd the doctor say?"
She turned around, and said, "I'm going to have a baby," before breaking out into a grin.
The other two smiled back.
Sarah regarded her parents, and noticed they were, in fact, beaming.
She then watched as Seymour and Audrey came together in a passionate kiss, much like the first one they shared before she ran out of the room.
Just over a month ago, on Christmas Day, the Krelborns found out that Audrey was pregnant. The initial reaction was complete happiness and excitement. For Seymour and Audrey, those feelings have not changed. However, they both were now a bit nervous seeing as they never had a baby before, but that was it.
Sarah was a different case. She too was excited at first, but after taking some time to adjust to the news, and think about it, her views changed dramatically.
Sarah was now afraid. Terrified, to be exact. What if this changed things in a way that was not good for her? What if Seymour and Audrey decided that they didn't love her as their daughter once their real kid was born?
Sarah could not handle the idea that she could be kicked aside again. She discussed this with her friends, who promptly told her that she had nothing to worry about. After that, she never talked about the baby with them.
Things were normal in the Krelborn household, or as normal as they could be. Audrey still cooked and cleaned, but she now reads books and magazines on babies and parenting. Seymour still ran his shops, both of which are doing very well.
And Sarah, she's still going to school. She hangs out with Mandy and Allison on the weekend or sometimes after school. Aside from her growing fears, things are going well. Well, except for David.
Two weeks ago, a new kid arrived at school. His name is David Fairchild. He's tall for his age, has auburn hair that's just a little bit too long, expressive grey eyes, and a few freckles across his nose. And Sarah detests him.
At first she thought he could be a new friend (and, admittedly, is a little cute) but once he started bugging her to go out with him, she changed her mind.
Every single day the boy tries to walk her to class, sit with her at lunch, and get her to go out with him just once. Her friends, naturally, thought he was cute and that Sarah was so lucky to be the focus of his attention.
After the first week, they realized that she would not tolerate the subject of David either, and finally started ignoring him too.
The journal she received for Christmas already has pages and pages on her opinions of the two aforementioned topics. As long as Sarah's able to write her thoughts, she can continue her life as normally as possible.
