Nina's POV
"Hey Neens, I've got a present for you."said Eddie as we began walking to his room.
"Oh Eddie you didn't have to get me anything, it's your birthday." I replied wondering what he was up to.
"Just close your eyes." He put his free hand over my eyes with the other guiding me as I held Bentley. Once we were in the room he removed his hand revealing a blonde jock in the center of the room.
"Mickey?!"
"Neensy!"after handing Ben over to Eddie I rushed over to hug him.
"I thought you were in Australia."
"I thought you were in America." We laughed. "So does Fabian know about this?" he asked pointing to me Eddie and Bentley.
"Well we were planning on telling everyone at dinner instead of repeating it 10 times." Just then Trudy walked in.
"Nina, dearie, would you like to set up the table?"
"Sure Trudy." I was ready for the worst scenario, probably being Patricia yelling, but instead I bumped into Fabian.
"N-nina! What are you doing here?"
"Uh, hi." I looked over my shoulder to see Eddie playing with Ben. "I'll just be in the kitchen." I speed walked over to the door trying to make a hasty escape. 'Please' I begged to myself. ' it's just until dinner, just don't let him go into that room.'
Eddie's POV
Fabian's coming Ed, you might want to hide the toddler."stated Mick walking back into the room and closing the door behind him.
"I'll just tell him that he's my nephew."
"If he sees Ben he'll know it has something to do with Nina, he just bumped into her in the hall. Plus your an only child."
"Ugh. Mick just eat your apple...Benny, we're gonna play hide and seek with Uncle Mick, okay. " He nodded. "Okay now we have to be really quiet." He gave a silent response once again. "Okay good boy." I grabbed him and put him in the wardrobe leaving the door cracked a bit so light could get in. Almost on cue, Fabain walked in.
"Hey mate." Mick said acting like normal while I casually sat on the floor outside the wooden cabinet that hid my son.
"Hey buddies. You'll never believe who I just bumped into out in the hallway not too long ago."
"The tooth fairy."
"Santa Claus."
"What? No. It's Nina. You two should know she was coming out of here. May I ask why?"
"Well can a girl visit her two foreign best friends?"I asked trying to make up something believable.
"One you're from the same country as her. Two Mick is hardly foreign he lived in California for a whole summer."
"Fabian!"
"Mick!" two female voices yelled. I've never been so happy to hear Mara and Amber's voices.
"Well come on mate, we don't want to keep the girls waiting." Mick put his hands on Fabian's shoulders as if to direct him out of the room. As soon as the door closed, I let out a relieved sigh.
"Come on Ben." I said grabbing my son. "Ah, if only your mom had seen this...eh on second thought let's not tell mommy." I turned around only to have a vision. It was dark and me and Nina were standing in the middle.
"Well well, if it isn't the Osirian and the Chosen One." said an evil male voice through the shadows.
"Ah,have you come to rescue the poor little Amnerian? Well.." started a second voices. It was from a woman." Come and get him." Bentley then appeared but in the clutches of what look like a half woman half cat and a half man half ardvark.
I suddenly found myself back in my room holding my son who was looking at my stunned face curiously. " Don't worry Ben." I said. " I won't let them get you...whoever they are." I walked into the kitchen frantically. When I saw Nina, I pulled her by the arm into the laundry room.
"What was that about?"
"I think something bad is gonna happen."
"Eds the worse that could happen is that Patricia yells at us and dunks us with a liquid. There's nothing to..."
"Nina I just had a vision...like a daymare. These two...Egyptian things had Bentley...we were fighting to get him back."
"Look Eddie, everything is fine... I think you're just day dreaming because of the nerves. You did just solve a mystery. It's probably just post mystery jitters. I used to get them all the time."
"Okay I hope you're right."
"I am, now let's get this over with, okay?"
"Yeah…sure." We walked into the the dining room with me holding Bentley simultaneous to the rest of the house. They all had both shocked and questionable. Amber was the first to talk.
Nina's POV
"Neens! Oma,I missed you so much." She rushed over to hug me like I had done with Mick earlier. Speaking of which where is he?
"Hey Ambs. It's good to see you too."
"That's what I was talking about Joy... She bring that little monster here?" Patricia's voice was the next to ring out.
"First off he's not a monster, Trix, and second, he's Nina and Eddie's son."said Mick coming out of nowhere behind me and Eddie. Both groups looked back at him. "Oh, you didn't tell them het did you?... " He wore an apologetic look. " Well I'll just go play with my nephew...out side...Come on Ben." Mick took him from Eddie's grasp and out the back door of the house.
"Someone care to explain just what's goin on?" Fabian asked sternly.
"Um, I think we should all sit down, right Trudy?" I said nervously.
"Yes dearies, come sit and eat."
"Uh, I think that's hoe we got Ben in the first place."mumbled Eddie before I nudged him in the stomach.
After all of us sat down, Fabian's question was picked up by Patricia. "So , what exactly is happening here?"
Me and Eddie looked at each other."Well..." I started, "it's kind of a long story..."
"It was the summer when Fabian and Nina broke up and me and Patricia had decided to see other people..." continued Eddie. "Me and Nina had decided that we should give us a try considering something a few of you know. And one day it just..."
"Happened... 9 months later, Bentley popped out and we decided that I would stay with Ben in America and..."
"I would come here and act like nothing happened."
"But that doesn't explain why Mick is outside with a toddler right now."chimed on Mara.
"Well... Mick and Joy kinda...already knew." I said trying to sound like it was something innocent.
"In my defense...Well there's nothing really to say, I was following her on Facebook and that's where she was documenting her pregnancy." stated Joy.
"And I guess I'm responsible for Mick, one day I was video chatting with Nina and Ben when he was a few weeks old and Mick walked into the room and saw her and asked what was goin on and its pretty self explanatory from that point." reasoned Eddie.
"So you left me here, scared out of mind my that something happened to you while you were playing mummy to some dangy mutt's child?" Fabian asked rhetorically, with his voice raising.
"Well Fabian, if you weren't so hung up over that red head ditz from summer camp, then maybe just maybe, I wouldn't be a mother at the age of 18, have you ever though out that?" I yelled back.
"Finally the truth comes out..." said Alfie who was cowering in the corner of the room but now was suddenly intrigued in the conversation.
