Oh wow. So so so sorry it's been so long since I updated, you have no idea. I really have no excuse. But let us cut to the chase, this is short, much too short for my liking, but it's important. I should be uploading another chapter sometime within this weekend so look forward to that, but no promises because I have other stuff to do too. But I absolutely promise to never go that long without an update again.
I also want to say how glad I am that anyone still wants me to write, and to warn you all that my writing has changed quite a bit since I've last updated but I'd like to think it matured a bit. When I look back at chapter one, a lot of things didn't make sense the way I explained them so I'm hoping you guys still enjoy my writing. In any case, on with the show, shall we?
As i sat alone on the beach, i couldn't help but let the tears fall. So much has happened in my short time here.
I met my grandmother, only to have her die not too far after. I was introduced to my heritage, which included and centered around my being a witch. I found out i was 'forever' connected to Adam, he was my 'soulmate', only to have him fall in love with my sometimes evil sister. Which of course leads me to my next point: I actually have a sister-well, 2 sisters and 3 brothers. Then, there's the fact that I've almost died-on numerous occasions. I met my father, who turned out to be evil and i had to kill him-before he killed me. I've found, and a part of me knows i was the cause of, several dead bodies. All this has happened, and more, yet somehow I found the time to fall in love with Nick Armstrong somewhere along the way.
Now here I am, a witch full of the darkest of magic (though in my defense I'm also full of the lightest magic equally) and awaiting the arrival of my evil half-sister, who plans on following in my fathers sinister footsteps, as well as possibly murdering my boyfriend. Yeah, things have changed since I moved to new Salem.
I didn't want this. I never wanted any of this. I just wanted to live a normal life with my mom, and that's exactly what I was doing. But then we moved here and everything went downhill.
Since I arrived, my life has been full of magic, danger, power, death, love, friendship and lies. Now I'm the one keeping the biggest lie of all.
I know I have to tell them sooner or later, but I wish I could keep it to myself, or just not have to deal with it for a little longer. But that want going to happen, especially when I suddenly found someone sit next to me on the white sand and wrap an arm around my shoulders.
"Nick..." He said nothing, only stare out at the waves. I knew now was my chance, it was now or never. "Nick, I have to talk to you."
He raised an eyebrow in my direction, but said nothing. I was so afraid to tell him, because what if he freaked out or hated me or... Or I don't know.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen, it just sort of did. I guess it was because of that stupid prophecy thing or whatever, and... And I don't know how to do this. Y'know? I mean, it could have been just a dream but with this whole sight thing, I don't know... Are you ready for this? Because I'm sure as hell not. I can barely take care of myself. And all the drama with the magic-what are we gonna do Nick?"
"Cassie, calm down. Yes, breathe. Now would you care to fill me in on what it is you are talking about?"
"Nick, I'm... I'm pregnant."
I'm not sure what I truly expected. Anger, shock, yelling, crying. I don't know. But what ever it was, it most certainly was not his next words.
"I know." Now I was the one in utter shock. He knows? How does he know? I myself only found out a few hours ago. So how does Nick know?
"You... Know?"
"Of course I know. I figured it out a few days ago actually. All the signs were there. First you were throwing up and then you started getting all emotional over nothing, much like you were a few minutes ago. Remember when you literally started crying over spilt milk?"
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"I figured you'd tell me when you were ready.
I started to cry again. I couldn't help it. I didn't even know why I was crying.
"Cassie, it's okay. I'm not going to go running for the hills or whatever you were thinking. I love you Cass, and that's never going to change."
"You-you still love me?"
"Of course. How could I not? You're amazing." He replied, followed by a peaceful moment of silence.
"Nick, what are we going to do? If I'm pregnant that means Jades plan is-"
"Jade isn't the reason you're pregnant, Cassie. When I found out, I kinda freaked, I was really worried and all. I talked to both Diana and Reese, who both agreed that your pregnancy is completely natural. This baby has no link to Jade, only to us, it's parents."
"So we're...we're really having a baby then?"
"Yeah we're really having a baby."
