The Truth Unveiled
"No, you know what your problem is?" Alexis asked. "Your problem is that you never listen to me!"
"Yeah, I know," AJ said yawning. "That's why you're so bitchy."
Petey and Laura looked at each other.
"I have to get out for a while," AJ said pulling over at a road side convenience store.
"Why'd we agree to come along on this miserable Christmas trip?" Petey asked.
"Because AJ needs us," Laura said. "It's been so long since Alexis has been happy."
"We could be having a nice private Christmas right now," Petey said.
"Oh get over yourself," Laura said.
"I think we're driving them crazy," Alexis said laughing.
"I think they're planning our murders," AJ said.
"Well if they aren't already they're going to start," Alexis said as they started walking back to the car.
"Great to see you kids," AJ's father, Ray, said as they walked into the house.
"Lovely to see you too," Alexis said walking past him.
"What's wrong with her?" Ray asked.
"Who knows," AJ said watching her. "You remember Petey and Laura."
"I'm so sick of you telling me what to do!" Alexis yelled at AJ as they sat down at the table.
"Get used to it," AJ answered rolling his eyes. "So when's Chantal getting here?"
"She should be here any minute now," Ray said looking at Alexis strangely.
"Late as usual," Alexis said slouching.
"Quit complaining," AJ said. "Joel getting big?"
"He's growing so fast," Ray answered. "He's going to be one big boy."
"Sorry we're late," Chantal said walking in with Joel on her hip. "Someone didn't want to wake up."
"You?" Alexis asked.
"You're just a born comedian," AJ said. "How're you doing Chantal?"
"I'm great. I get to see you guys again," Chantal said sitting down and getting Joel out of his winter suit. "How was the trip?"
"Fascinating, if you love cows," Alexis said blowing a strand out hair away from her face.
"Would you like a drink Alexis?" Ray asked.
"Give her a shot of tequila," AJ said.
Alexis shot him a look.
"No Ray, I'm fine," Alexis spat.
"Let's eat," Chantal said. "Jay, can I talk to you?"
"I know you're going to be talking about me," Alexis said.
"You're so observant," AJ said.
"What is up with you two?" Chantal yelled.
"Now who's the observant one?" Alexis asked.
"Come," AJ said grabbing Alexis' hand.
"Who do you think you are dragging me around?" Alexis asked as AJ pulled her down the hallway.
"Stop!" Ray yelled. "What is happening here?"
"We're having a baby!" Alexis yelled in an angry voice.
"You're-what?" Chantal asked.
"We're having a baby!" AJ yelled hugging Alexis.
Chantal and Laura both let out screams of excitement as they ran to Alexis to hug her.
"Wow," Ray said looking at his son. "Congratulations."
"Thanks," AJ said hugging his father first and then hugging Petey.
"How long have you guys known?" Chantal asked.
"I've known a month now and Alexis has known for four," AJ said.
"I can't believe that you wouldn't share this sooner," Laura said.
"Neither can I," Alexis said smiling at AJ. "But we couldn't decide who to tell first and then we decided to tell you at the same time and I am so sorry for the way that I've been acting but the last month has all been acting. Before that I was just so scared. I mean it took me three months just to tell Jay."
"We understand," Ray said hugging Alexis.
"I'm so happy!" Chantal screamed. "Boy or girl?"
"Surprise," AJ said. "We don't want to know."
"But then you can't decorate," Chantal said disappointed.
"I think we'll find a way," AJ said.
"But right now the little one's really hungry," Alexis said patting her small tummy.
