Alex and I were hanging out in our room…our room that's gonna take a while to get used to. Anyway, we were just talking and… actually it was Alex just complaining about our brothers actually.
So far I'd discovered that I had 3 brothers and a sister other than the ones I'd already met. Jason who was 27 and married with 2 kids and a job as a Veterinarian, Henrik who was 28 and had also 2 kids and a job as a Lawyer, Isaac who was 19 and recently graduated and is studying to become an architect, and last but not least Quinn who was apparently Isaac's twin and she is studying to become and ob/gyn.
Who would have thought that I would have thought that I had such a big family from my dad.
After a while, Adrian came into the room. "Hey guys, how's it going?" he asked.
"Well I don't know about Rose but I'm very much enjoying her company and the fact that I can talk to someone other than you." Alex replied. I felt a tug at my heart at the fact that Alex warmed up to me that much already.
"oh really, you're replacing me already are you Lexi?" Adrian asked before he lunged at Alex and pulled her over his shoulder. I expected Alex to get angry or at least fake anger but no she was laughing and squealing not asking Adrian to let her down once.
"Come on mom asked me to get you guys, the others are here."
When we all reached the living room, Alex still over Adrian's shoulder, I saw mom, Will, Matt along with the others including whom I believe is dad. Dad….wow I never thought I'd say that get word. I finally get to meet my father. Suddenly mom noticed that we came down and said to the others with her voice husky with tears of joy "That's her."
They turned around so quickly I feared that they would accidently snap their own necks. My dad's eyes filled with tears and he rushed towards me and engulfed me in his arms. I didn't hesitate to return his hug, he whispered in my ear "you're so beautiful, so much more beautiful than Adrian described." as he let me go. "my name is Nathan by the way."
After the others hugged me too, I got a full look at them. Nathan had Mine and Adrian's brown sable hair but had my chocolate coloured eyes and was around Will's height. Quinn had Nora's blonde hair but Nathan's eyes and she dressed more like Lissa while Alex dressed more like me. She had a Mid-thigh flower dress that complimented her physique well whereas Alex was wearing tight white ripped jeans and a red crop top that showed her belly button piercing. Henrik and Jason looked like twins and both looked the exact same as dad. Isaac on the other hand looked like mom but with Will's warm mocha coloured hair. I was wondering where Henrik and Jason's kids and wifes where since they weren't anywhere in sight. It was as if Adrian had read my mind, he answered my unspoken question "They both thought that it would be crowded enough and they didn't want to 'suffocate' you on your first day here as they both put it."
"nonsense I would have loved to meet them" I said. They both shrugged and said that they would drop by tomorrow anyway.
As we settled down on the couches, we started joking around and getting to know each other. "So Rose got any boyfriend back at the academy?" asked Will in a teasing way. I could feel Adrian vigorously shaking his head at Will as if to make him take back his words but it was too late. I had already heard it, it was like the memories just slammed themselves onto me, and I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes no matter how hard I willed them not to. It was a matter of seconds before I had my head in my hands, sobbing uncontrollably, while Adrian rushed to surround me with his arms. I could hear Will worriedly asking what he did wrong. Adrian just sighed and said "He broke up with her a week before we came and She's pregnant."
I could feel everyone in the room freeze and the air in the room thicken with anger and sympathy. Anger at Eddie and Sympathy towards me. God how am I going to last a month without my Eddie?
