Charlottes head was spinning, she was trying to comprehend the news. The father of her unborn father was dead. He did not even get to find out that she was pregnant. Charlotte was now sitting down in the waiting room, being comforted by Emily, who was also struggling with the news. Charlotte sat there for 20 minutes before the doctor came to see her, Jack and Emily. "Declan died from complications from his surgery..." The doctor continued to explain what happened, but Charlotte zoned out. She was not yet ready to know how he died. A few moments after the doctor finished, Emily offered Charlotte a ride home.
Back at Grayson manor
Emily help Charlotte through the doors to the massive mansion. As Emily was leading Charlotte, who was still in tears, to her bedroom Victoria spotted them. "Charlotte, I'm so sorry." Charlotte looked back and in a moment of anger she lashed out at her mother. "You knew, why did you not tell me!" "Charlotte, I was going to, but..." "But what mum, you weren't brave enough to tell me yourself."
Charlotte ran up to her room. Charlottes emotions were all over the place, and understandably so, she had hormones from the pregnancy, and so many emotions over Declan's death. Emily followed Charlotte to her room. "I'ts going to be ok, you and the baby will get through it. You are a strong, strong woman Charlotte." Emily told her sister. They hugged for a long time, and Emily suggested that Charlotte stayed with her and Daniel for a few days. Charlotte decided that that would be a good idea, so she packed a few things and left with Emily.
When they arrived at Emily's beach house they saw Daniel standing in the kitchen. He noticed them walk inside. Charlotte dropped her bag and ran to Daniel, giving him a hug. "Declan's dead." She told him. "Charlotte, I'm so sorry." He rubbed her head comforting his younger sister.
The next morning
Charlotte was having yet another spell of morning sickness, heaving into the toilet bowl. Emily knocked on the door, "Are you alright?" She asked her sister. "Can you come in Emily." Asked Charlotte. "Of course." Emily opened the door and walked in to see a very pale Charlotte by the toilet bowl. She bent down and held charlotte's hair back, as she experienced more morning sickness. "This morning sickness is going to be the death of me." Charlotte said. "I'll take you to the doctors today and see if we can get you anything for it. Now come on, I'll get you something to eat." They both walked downstairs where they saw Daniel making some eggs and bacon. "Charlotte, you look pale." Daniel commented. Charlotte covered her mouth and ran toward the bathroom. "What's up with her?" Questioned Daniel. "She ate something bad." "Alright." Replied Daniel. Emily knew that Daniel was extremely gullible when it came to Charlotte, so making up an excuse would be easy. Charlotte emerged from the bathroom to get some breakfast.
At the doctors room
"So Charlotte, I hear you have been having some bad morning sickness, is this correct?" Asked doctor Anna Greenhill. "That is correct, I was hoping that you would give me something for it. "Well first I need to know how far along you are. So I will preform an ultra sound." The doctor put some cold gel on her stomach, and started to preform the ultra sound. Charlotte broke into tears of happiness when she saw her baby on the screen. "Charlotte, it looks like you are 6 weeks pregnant, and having twins." "Twins!" Charlotte said as her eyes widened open. She reached out for Emily's hand. "So the combination of having twins and only being just 16 have brought on bad morning sickness. I can give you some medicine for it. You will have to pick it up from the chemist." Charlotte nodded. "Are you taking pre Natel vitamins?" "Yes doctor." "Alright, I will wright you out a prescription for your morning sickness and get you a copy of your sonogram." Charlotte and Emily left the doctors office filled with awe and wonder. "Twins is going to be a lot of hard work Charlotte." "I know but I think I am ready. I need to do something, and having Declan's babies, is a great was to continue his legacy." "When did you want to tell people? The doctor told you that you will start to show in a few weeks, so you can't hide it for as long." "I'll tell Daniel and jack tonight, and I don't know when I will tell mum or Conrad. But once mum finds out, get ready because hurricane Victoria will be on the loose." Emily laughed at what Charlotte just said.
Later that night
"Daniel, I was thinking that we have to wedding in Australia. They have some beautiful destinations. We could get married in south East Queensland. I have found a beautiful place in The City. Here have a look at this place. We can climb the bridge that they have, and have a beautiful wedding on the river city. We could even honeymoon in the Great Barrier Reef." "It's beautiful, I love it. Let's have the wedding there. It's only 12 weeks away so we better get the wedding planner moving." "I'll chat to her tomorrow. She's the best wedding planner in the Hamptons, so she should be able to pull it off. What do you think about moving to Australia and starting a family?" "Were up to moving and babies already." "Australians a beautiful place, so down to earth, one of the best countries to live in, and perfect for a family." "Well, I think it sounds wonderful Emily. We could even take Charlotte." At that moment Charlotte walked into the room. "Where have you been?" Asked Daniel "I was at Jack's, the funeral will be in two weeks. Daniel, I have something to tell you."
