Chapter 20 Family meeting
They just stood there staring while Rufus and I just sat there, frozen, his hand still on my belly. Finally Serena broke the silence. " Oh my god," was all she could seem to manage. Dan was only slightly more verbal.
" How long?" be asked in a state of shock.
" Uhhh," even Rufus couldn't talk.
" How long?" Dan asked in a slightly harsher tone.
" Three months," Rufus answered finding his voice. I realized that something serious was going to have to happen now but I really didn't know what. I couldn't just to on expecting my kids to be ok with things.
" I think you two better just go to Dan's room while Lily and I talk," Rufus said taking control. " I'm going to call Jenny and have her come with Erik," Rufus decided. I couldn't feel my heart after that. I knew I needed Rufus right now more than I ever had before. Jenny walked in a few minutes later not knowing what to make of the whole thing. Serena and Dan walked in right after them, clearly not in the mood to play games. " Kids," Rufus started in a shaky voice, " we're all going to be moving into the loft," he said started with the easiest topic. " Lily is also 3 months pregnant," Rufus added so quickly he had to repeat himself. They all sat there for a good 10 minutes just in shock, even tough most of then had some idea already. I hadn't said a word the whole time. I really didn't think this kind of thing was good for the baby.
" Ok," Dan said calmly. Then everyone, including me just stared at Dan, confused as to why he was not making a big deal out of this. This was Dan after all.
