When Will Our Lives Be Normal?
Chapter 8
The alarm clock went off and Brittany swung her arm wildly. She finally hit the stop button, but not before knocking several things off of her nightstand. She rolled over and was greeted by an empty bed again. When he decides to truly apologize then he can come back to sleeping in my bed. I still can't believe all that's happened in the past week. Brittany thought as she sighed and stare up at the ceiling. What made him change like that? I guess after so long you have to snap. Oh well, I need to get up and make a cake. I can't believe tomorrow is Abby's birthday, and her seventh Christmas. Brittany sighed as she got up.
"Mommy!" She heard Abby call. Why is she up? She got dressed and walked into her room.
"What's the problem Abby? It's six in the morning; you shouldn't be up for another three at least." She said as she walked in the room and saw Abigail on the corner of her bed crying. This alarmed her. She sat beside her. "Abby, what's wrong?" She asked, she rubbed her back and looked her over. The she looked at the bed and saw a wet spot. Oh crap!
"I woke up and the bed was wet, I'm sorry." She started crying again and hugged her. Abby buried her face in her mother's pajama top.
"Abby, it's a normal thing, it's ok…" She patted Abby's head and got up. She walked over to her closet and picked out an outfit. She went over and walked over and picked up a pair of her h=underwear and sat them on Abby's nightstand. "It's normal, but if it continues for a few days… I'm taking you to the doctor." She warned. Abby nodded and grabbed her clothes, she heading toward the bathroom so she could take a bath.
"What am I going to do with that girl? I'm sure this is just from all of the stress of the past few days. But… maybe it's not…" She said, she stripped her sheets and comforter and threw them in the laundry hamper. She grabbed more sheets. She rolled her eyes and began putting the Jonas brothers sheets the Abby had requested at her last birthday. "Out of Chipmunks blankets." She said with a giggle. She quickly changed them and then headed downstairs. She spotted Simon on the couch, he was barely covered by a small baby blue blanket. She smiled and then her smile turned into a frown.
A small noise from the kitchen pulled her out of her thoughts. What could that be? She thought, and then the smells of breakfast hit her nose, bacon, eggs and hash browns. Vinny. That woman must get up before the sun does every morning. She thought to herself. She walked into the kitchen
"Oh, good morning Brittany, I didn't know that I woke you. I'm sorry." She said as she grabbed the pan she had and lifted it from the stove; she flipped the hash browns she was cooking into the air a few times. Brittany was always amazed by her cooking abilities.
"Mom, you didn't wake me up." Brittany said as she went over to the fridge. She grabbed a glass and poured herself some orange juice. She replaced the orange juice and sipped some out of her cup. She walked over and sat down at the table. "I was going to get things ready for Abby's birthday today. But… she had a little bit of a problem this morning. She woke up with a soaked bed." Vinny stopped what she was doing and looked at her.
"She wet the bed?" She asked amazed. Brittany nodded. Vinny shook her head and finished cooking everything; she piled it onto platters and put it down on the table. Brittany looked at her and Vinny smiled and nodded. Brittany giggled and grabbed a piece of bacon and chewed on it absent-mindedly.
"Yeah, I think it's just the stress of the whole 'Simon and I fighting' thing." She said, she looked at Vinny who shook her head. Brittany sighed. "I need to get started on baking a cake for Abby." Brittany said, she tried to stand up and Vinny put her hands up.
"Brittany, there's a chocolate cake baking in the oven right now. I asked Abby last night what kind of cake she wanted so, I just made it when I got up this morning." Vinny told her.
"Oh… Mom, you didn't have to do that… I could have made it for her." Brittany said, she had become slightly annoyed. At least the first time she was pregnant, she was able to do stuff.
"No, Brittany, I feel bad if I don't help around here. Besides…" Vinny's sentence was cut short by Abby. Brittany looked at her and raised an eyebrow; she had gone back into her room after her mom had left and picked out new clothes. She almost resembled her sister Jeanette. She had her hair tied up in a bun with a pink bow; she wore a pink sweater too big for her, a small pink skirt, and long white socks.
"Morning mommy, grandma." Abby said, she rubbed her eyes behind her glasses and slipped, falling backwards and landing on her back. Vinny jumped and kept her head from hitting the ground and flipped her skirt back down after it flipped up, showing her panties off. Abby sat back up and looked at her grandma. "Thank you." She told her as she sat up and pushed her glasses back onto her nose. She walked slowly and sat down in a seat, sitting next to her mother.
"Happy birthday sweetheart." Brittany told her. Abby smiled up at her mom.
"Thank you, but it doesn't seem to be a good one so far." She told her. She snatched a small piece of bacon off of the tray and chewed on it. Brittany frowned.
"Well, it will be." She told her, she felt her stomach start to ache but ignored it. I'll take a shot in a little bit. It's not going to hurt that much if I put it off for a little while. She rubbed Abby's back. "Are you sure you want to be dressed like that for your party?" Brittany asked her. Abby looked up at her confused. Brittany giggled and opened her purse which was hanging off of the back of her chair, she pulled a picture of Jeanette when she was younger our and showed Abby. Her eyes went wide.
"Wow, I look just like Aunt Netta…" She said, she looked down at herself. "Okay, I'll go change." She said. She slipped off of the chair and ran upstairs. Brittany watched her leave and turned back around when she saw Simon walked in.
"Morning mom, morning Britt." He said. He walked over to the coffee maker and grabbed a can of coffee out of the cabinet. He took down his coffee and started brewing his cup and turned around. Brittany got up and stumbled. She grabbed a hold of her chair. Vinny reached her arms out and held her up. Simon rushed over to a cabinet and grabbed a bottle of medicine and opened a sterile syringe. He withdrew the medicine and went over to Brittany. Vinny made her sit down while Simon injected the medicine into her arm. Brittany sighed and wiped her forehead with her other hand. Vinny disposed of the needle and jar of medicine after removing the label.
"Mom, can you give Simon and me a few moments alone?" Brittany asked. Vinny looked at the timer for the cake and nodded. She walked out of the room and Simon looked at her. "Simon, it's still weird…" Simon put a finger to her lips.
"Nothing's weird Brittany." He said as he leaned in to kiss her and her heart started to race. She stood up without letting him touch her. Simon fell into the chair she had been previously sitting on. Simon looked at her surprised. She crossed her arms.
"Simon, I'm still not happy with you after you nearly killed Alvin." Brittany said. Simon looked down at his hands.
"Brittany, I went to see him yesterday. He's doing fine, he's at home." Simon told her. Brittany uncrossed her arms and picked up her cell phone. She hit speed dial 2 and walked out of the room.
The phone rang once and Jeanette picked up. "Hello?" She asked, she sounded nervous.
"Hi Netta, it's Brittany." Brittany said, she flopped down gently on the couch by Vinny and signaled that she could go back in the kitchen. Vinny nodded and walked away.
"Oh hi, I'm excited for Abby's party later, Alvin's excited for the party… not so much that Simon's going to be there." Jeanette said. Brittany winced.
"Yeah, Simon keeps telling me he is sorry, it's just… How do I forgive something like that?" Brittany asked, She looked up and saw Abby had come downstairs and her jaw dropped. She wore a bright pink knee-length dress that puffed out at the waist; she wore pink high heels and light pink socks that came up to her knees. Her hair was half down and half up with pink ribbons all throughout it tied in bows.
"Brittany, Alvin and Simon need to work things out on their own. It won't be long, men usually don't take a long time to make up and be friends." Jeanette said with a giggle. "I'm just glad he's better and not hurt any more. I was so glad when he came back. Kathryn didn't stop crying." She said. Brittany looked at Abby while she sat in the recliner across from her.
"Netta… can I… umm… talk to Alvin?" She asked nervously.
"Sure, hold on." Brittany heard Jeanette cover the receiver and walk through the house. Brittany looked up and saw Simon had walked into the room.
"Hello?" She heard from her phone.
"Oh, Alvin hi… how are you doing?" She asked sympathetically. She looked up and saw Simon looked at her with a smile which shocked her.
"Fine, nothing hurts anymore… is Simon still mad?" He asked.
"Not at all… in fact he said he can't wait to see you." Brittany said, she smiled and looked at Simon who smiled back at her.
"That's great, I can't wait to get there. Tell Abby she's going to love her gift." Alvin told her. Brittany shuddered.
"Alvin if it's something that can… Hello? Hello? That jerk hung up on me." Brittany growled and Simon started laughing. Both Brittany and Abby looked at him weird, laughter hadn't been heard for a few days in the household. Brittany couldn't help but smile. She smiled bigger when Simon came and sat by her. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He turned towards her and leaned in for a kiss. She met him in the middle and for the first time in a few days they shared a kiss.
"I've missed you." He told Brittany. She heard Abby leave the room and Simon chuckled. He kissed her again and his hands slipped to the small of her back pulling her close to him. She pulled him in as tight as she could without harming her belly. The continued kissing. Their tongues danced and danced. Brittany gasped for air, but she didn't stop. He ran his fingers through her hair and she gripped the back of his shirt tightly. "Brittany… I'm so… sorry…" He managed to gasp out between kisses. She nodded and kept kissing him. What was a few short minutes seemed like hours. They finally parted and Simon kissed her cheek. He stood up and walked into the kitchen. Brittany giggled when she saw Abby poke her head out from behind the wall.
"Come on," She told Abby. "We've got a cake to go ice."
