Author's note: I hope everyone enjoyed the last chapter and I hope you enjoy this chapter. If you guys haven't yet noticed, this is set in modern times, not the 40s, but that would be my fault if you guys didn't know because I should have mentioned that in the last chapter. I would appreciate some reviews, as always. I really don't have much else to say, so... Anyways, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Peter's POV
Something told me that Susan was trying to hide something from me. She's just seemed to be trying to avoid me for the past few days. I decided that I wanted to ask her what was going on. She was probably in the living room, so I headed there. She wasn't there, but mum was.
"Mum, do you know where Susan is?" I asked
"She's in her room" She told me
So I went upstairs to her bedroom door and knocked.
"Come in" she said
I walked into her room and saw her laying on her bed, staring at the ceiling. I walked over to her bed and sat down.
"I have something to tell you, Peter" she said "but I'm afraid to"
"You don't have to be afraid to tell me" I told her "you know you can tell me anything"
She didn't say anything. After a moment, she took my hand and placed it on her stomach. I was confused for a moment, but then I knew what she was telling me.
"You're not telling me that you're..." I was afraid to continue that sentence.
"That's exactly what I'm telling you" she said
It took all my self-control to keep from yelling at her. I tried to calm myself.
"It's Caspian, isn't it?" I said, referring to the father of her child.
"Yes" she said
I couldn't handle it anymore, I got mad.
"Why? Why would you do this to us? To yourself?" I asked
"I don't know how it happened!" she told me
I tried to regain my composure, once again.
"Su, we're going to have to get after-school jobs." I told her
"When would we start looking for one?" She asked
"I have a friend that works at a place that's hiring, so I know where I'm going to get a job. As for you, you're going to have to find somewhere to work." I said
I was silent for a moment.
"Oh, I can pick Ed up from rugby practice for you if you'd like" I said
"Yes, please do" she said.
I went downstairs and right as I walked by the phone, it started to ring. I answered it. It was Edmund's school saying that he had gotten into a fight at school and that they wanted me to tell mum that they wanted to see her and Edmund for a meeting tomorrow.
"Oh, Ed" I muttered to myself "Why do you have to do this?"
How much more did I have to deal with?
I got to Edmund's practice and I was a few minutes early so I watched him play while I waited for it to finish. When it was over, Edmund ran over to me as soon as he saw me.
"Wasn't Susan supposed to pick me up today?" He asked once he got to me.
"She was, but she's... trying to find a job" I told him
"Why does she need a job?" he asked
"and why do you ask so many questions?" I asked
"Fair enough" he said
"Your teacher called today" I said once we were in the car "She said that you got in a fight and she's having a meeting with you and mum tomorrow."
"What? Why?" he said
"It's your fault for getting into that fight." I told him
"It's my fault, is it? That other boy was the one who hit me first!" he yelled
"Alright, calm down" I said
"Great," I whispered to myself "Now, not only do I have a sister trying to take in a new member of the family, but my brother's about to become the worst kid at his school."
"Wait, what did you say?" he asked
"Nothing" I said innocently
"Did you say that you have a sister trying to take in a new member of the family?" he asked
"No, I didn't say anything." I said
He was silent for a minute before his eyes widened in realization.
"Wait, does that mean that Susan is... " he didn't continue
"Fine, yes, Susan is pregnant and that's why she needs a job. Now, can you just stop asking me questions?" I said
"Alright" he replied
The rest of the ride home was silent. Once we got home, Edmund went to go shower, and I stayed downstairs watching tv with Lucy. After Ed was finished showering, I decided to go shower too, so I headed upstairs. When I passed by Susan's room, the door was still open a crack. I looked inside and saw her on her laptop still trying to find a job. After that,I headed to the bathroom and showered.
Author's note: Alright, this chapter has been finished. Tell me if you guys want me to continue this or if you want me to finish it here. For now I'll be working on another fanfiction for you guys to enjoy. Anyways, thank you and bye.
