Sorry for lack of updates just got back to school and had a busy new year!
It was the end of the day and Sue had received a text off her Dad asking if Simon and she wanted to go round for dinner.
At Sue's dad's house
Sue and Simon walked through the door.
"Hi, dad" Sue said.
"Hi, darling come in" Robert responded.
Simon helped her off with her coat, and then they went through to the dining area.
After they had eaten they went and sat in the living room.
"So how was today?" Robert asked.
"I was great" Simon replied which was a relief for Sue as she wasn't up for friendly banter with Daddy at that moment in time.
"Good, to hear" Robert said, pleased.
"Yes Sue was great with discipline, you should be proud" Simon said.
Sue felt anything but proud of herself, she had a lot on her mind like "When was she going to tell her Dad about the baby."
Simon made it very clear to her not to tell anyone as it was early days but this was her Dad, he wasn't just anyone (was he). Anyway, Vix knew so her Dad should too. But that was Vix she might be a big mouth but she was the person that got Sue through the trauma of her Mother's death when her father spent every day locked away in his room refusing to make contact with the outside world. Vix was her big sister even if they didn't always see eye to eye, Sue could trust her more like a friend than a sister. But still "what happens if Vix casually let it slip over a cosy Sunday lunch or when she's had one too many to drink." Vix was unpredictable when she was drunk and Sue knew it!
Simon could see that his wife was in a daze but he didn't want to make a fuss as he could guess what was on her mind. He really didn't need that being mentioned.
Suddenly the door bell went, which was a relief for everyone as no one was really making any conversation.
Robert went to answer it. He was surprised to see Vix standing there.
"Hello Victoria" he said.
"Hi Dad" Vix responded she hated being called Victoria it had a feeling of a name you use when you're getting a telling off.
They walked through to the lounge, where Sue and Simon were sat slyly flirting with each other.
They quickly stopped when Robert and Vix entered.
"Hi Vix how you doing?" Simon asked although he already knew the answer after the antics that went on in the playground at lunchtime with her and Nikki.
"I'm fine, what about you Si, Sis" Vix asked.
"We're good too" Simon replied.
Sue couldn't look at her sister. She wasn't mad at her, she just felt embarrassed for her as her big secret was out. She also felt like it was partially her fault that Vix kissed Nikki in the first place as she was nagging her about not having a relationship and she felt like she had pushed her into kissing Nikki to prove a point that she was serious. She might be happily married to Simon and pleasing Daddy but what about her sister she was always the one being pushed away, forced to be lonely and labelled the failure.
Robert then began to talk again "So Victoria any reason for you to pop by"
"Well I wasn't busy for a change" she said smiling and Sue and Simon exchanged sly looks trying not to laugh as they both knew what she was referring to.
Vix continued "I'm I not allowed to visit my Dad like?" She questioned.
"Of course, but it's unlike you" Robert replied.
An hour or so later...
Sue and Simon decided it was time to go as they wanted some "alone" time but the insisted they had marking to be getting on with and Vix said she had somewhere to be also.
Sue bent down to pick up her bag. It was a bad idea. As all the content fell out. Simon tried to scoop it all up but he missed one thing. A small card with Sue's next scan written on it.
Robert looked at it puzzled, "there must be some mistake he thought." But there couldn't be as it clearly said Mrs Sue Lowsley at the top of it.
"Darling is there something you're not telling me" he asked
Sue didn't know what to say but she knew she couldn't get round it as the facts were staring her father in the face.
"I'm Pregnant, Dad" She said.
