Chapter 4
It was 2 months later. I was 5 months pregnant now and definitely showing. I couldn't see my feet. Jesse and I were house hunting and Lilly was tagging along.
"Are you ready to go Suze?" Jesse asked me.
"Yeah, in a minute" I replied, buttoning up my maternity blouse. Once I had finished getting dressed, Lilly appeared beside me.
"You look happy." She said. "Glowing. A pregnant woman's glow." She smiled at me. I smiled back. That's all she did lately. Comment on how nice I looked or how happy I was or just how my pregnancy was affecting me.
"SUZE!" Shouted Jesse again.
"Coming!" I replied and walked to the car.
The first house we went to was nice. I liked it. I think this is the house I wanted. It had a nice two-doored front door and a big stairs with one of those landings like we had in the boarding house. It had a nice kitchen that you got through through the living room and a nice dining room to the side of that. It had three bedrooms, one with a big window seat where you could see the mission from. Lilly liked it too. Once we had seen it we thanked the hosts and walked outside. Our next viewing wasn't for two hours so Jesse and I were going to get some lunch at a little diner.
We got in the car and drove there. We parked outside and walked in. We sat in a booth and looked at the menu. A young waitress came up to us.
"What would you like to drink?" She asked.
"Um, lemonade please." I said.
"I'll have the same." Said Jesse. I looked at Lilly beside me, she was shaking she was staring at the waitress. I looked at the waitress. On her name tag was: Jenny. Uh oh. She walked away to get our drinks and she fell. Just fell. More like collapsed.
"Lilly, stop it!" I shouted.
"NO!" She screamed. "She took my life and my baby's. She deserves the same!" She was affecting her. I don't know how.
"No! Don't do it!" I stood in front of her protecting Jenny.
"No Suze!" Shouted Jesse. Everyone was looking at us. They were looking at Jenny on the floor, writhing in pain from Lilly. But it was too late. Lilly was angry and there was no stopping her now.
"She took my baby! And my life!" Shouted Lilly. "If you defend her, I'll take yours!" She turned one hand to me. I felt it, in my stomach. I was crouched on the floor, she was hurting me, the babies. What was she doing to them? Jesse ran into her and knocked her to the floor. She screamed and vanished.
"Suze!" He shouted. His voice was growing faint. My babies? What had she done? I.. I ... Jesse... I heard him yelling to call 911. I felt him cradle my head and feel my stomach for the babies kicking. Then it went blank.
