Chapter 36
(November 30th, 6pm)
Patricia's POV
I really, really do love him. He's my everything. He's a boyfriend, the daddy to my kids and more importantly, he's mine.
"Ready?" He asked, grabbing my hand and leading me out the door into the awaiting cab. After 5 short minutes in the cab, we arrived at the restaurant. Jerome smiled and led me inside.
"Clarke, Table for 2." Jerome told the hostess. She smiled and nodded, leading us to our table.
Jerome pulled out my chair for me and I sat down and smiled at him, he sat down across from me.
Jerome grabbed my hands and held them. "I love you." He said, looking into my eyes.
"I love you too." I smiled.
Nina's POV
The door rang as I went to answer it.
I opened the door and completely regretted it. Right there, in front of me, was Joy in a mini skirt, and black heels. Great.
"Hi." Joy said, walking right pass me towards the kitchen where everyone was standing. Once she got there, everyone stopped talking and looked at her. "Trudy?" She asked. "Do you mind if I eat with you guys tonight? All of my housemates went somewhere else and left me here." Figures they'd leave her. I know I would.
"Sure Sweetie!" Obviously, Trudy didn't hate her yet. Joy smiled.
"Where Patricia?" She asked.
"Patricia's out with Jerome for her birthday." Amber snapped.
"Well then." Joy said, averting her eyes from Amber. When Trudy left the room to set the table, Joy turned to me. I grabbed Fabian's arm.
"So, Slut. How's it feel to be a boyfriend stealer?" Joy said to me. What'd she just call me? I looked around to see everyone's eyes popped out of their heads.
"Excuse me?" I said, letting go of Fabian and stepping towards Joy.
"Yea. I said it. Do you want me to spell it? S-L-U-T. Do you get it now?" She said in a baby tone. I put my hands on my hips.
"And why do you look at me when you talk to yourself?" I said, folding my arms.
She scowled. "Bitch." She whispered, standing in my face.
"You're just jealous because Fabian loves me! Not you!" I screamed.
Joy put her filthy hands on my shoulders and shoved me backwards, luckily, I fell straight into Fabian's arms. I stood up and pushed Joy, just enough to send her stumbling back in her heels, but not falling. She stood up, flipped off her heels and took off her giant hoops earrings. She was about to attack me again, but Mick held her back.
"Joy. I think it's time to leave." Mick said, squeezing her shoulders and pushing her out the door. Thank You Mick.
Everyone stared at me in disbelief. "Wow." Alfie mumbled.
Fabian wrapped his arms around me. "No fighting." He said, smiling and tapping my nose.
I stuck my tongue out jokingly at him. "Hey. I couldn't just stand back and let that. That. That Meanie win! Now could I?" Nina said.
He nodded. "Well. Okay. But don't let it happen again."
"Okay." I replied. We all took our seats and ate. Afterwards, we all went upstairs. Alfie and Amber in his room, Fabian and I in mine and Mick and Mara in hers. Around 9, Patricia and Jerome got home, changed into their pajamas and sat in the common room. We didn't have school the next day, but we all ended up going to bed at 10 anyway.
Patricia's POV
(December 1st, 11am)
Everyone had went out, who knows where. Trudy was in the wash room cleaning and Jerome and I sat on the couch in the common room, just talking about random stuff and watching TV. I was in my black sweat pants and Jerome's huge black sweatshirt. He had on navy sport shorts and a white tee shirt. We just planned on sitting around all day. Jerome had his arm around me, pulling me close and I had my head resting on his shoulder as the door rang. Before either of us could get up, Trudy answered the door.
"Who's there?" I whispered to Jerome. I couldn't see from my seat.
Jerome leaned so he could see. "Um. Just some lady." He said, refocusing on the TV.
"Oh Sure!" Trudy said. "She's right in here." Trudy said, bringing the lady into the common room. I didn't recognize her at first, but then I knew who she was.
"Mum?" I said, sitting up, still close to Jerome with his arm around me.
"Patricia?" She asked. She apparently didn't recognize me that much either. I mean, I hadn't seen her in like 5 years.
She rushed over to me and hugged me. I just looked at her. Jerome moved his arm back to himself.
"How are you? I've missed you!" She said, sitting on the chair across from the couch Jerome and I were sitting on.
Jerome muted the TV. "I'll be going now." He said, getting up. I grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
"I thought you never wanted to see me again?" I said. I was getting angry now. She can't just walk in here and expect everything to be better!
"About that, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have acted that way." She said. Jerome tried to get up again, but I pulled him back.
"Ok." I mumbled.
"Are you still" she paused, "Pregnant."
I nodded and pulled off the sweatshirt. She gasped. "How far along are you?" She asked.
"5 months." I replied.
She looked confused. "Really? You look 9 months."
I shook my head. "Nope. 5 months with identical twin girls." I said, looking at the floor.
"And who's the…" She drifted off.
"Father?" I said, pointing next to me, towards Jerome. He sighed, half smiled and waved.
"Oh Yes. Jerome." She said, sighing. I grabbed his hand.
"When are you due?" She asked, changing the subject.
"19th of March." I bluntly relied.
"Do you think I could be there to see my granddaughters being born?" She asked, smiling.
I frowned. "Considering that I haven't seen you in five years, you told me you never wanted to see me again or have anything to do with this, than you can have your original wish. You can have nothing to do with this." I said leaning back. "This genie only gives one wish per person."
"One Second Please, ." Jerome said, grabbing my hand and pulling me to the kitchen.
"What?" I asked as we got in there.
"Listen. I know you don't want your mum to be part of this, but at least she's trying. I know she just can't expect everything to be better after what she did to you, but for the girl's sake. Don't you want the girls to have a grandma? My parents are out of the question, and you're lucky to have a mum that's TRYING to fix things." He said.
I sighed. "For the girls." I said, returning to the common room.
"Fine." I said. "We will call you and you can come to the hospital. But, it'll only be Jerome and I in the room. Understood?"
She nodded. "Loud and Clear. So, do you have any ideas on names?"
We nodded and looked at each other. "One will be named Caitlin Ava, Caitlin after Jerome's grandmother and Ava after Grandpa Avan. And the other will be named Carlynn Jade. Carlynn because we like that name and my best friend when I was little was Carly. Jade because, well, just because. So, Cait and Carly."
My mum nodded. I knew she really wasn't in love with those names, but, lucky for her, she kept her mouth shut. "Well. I'll be going. Call me soon?" She said, getting up and moving towards the door.
"Sure." I said, shutting the door behind her.
