A/N: Okay, people keep asking me to write more, and more and more. (I'm not talking about the persons who instant messaged me...) But before you ask me, I have something to tell you. I started this fic on Saturday, January the 19th. It's been four days since then. In that time I have written six chapters. I love to write them. I love this fic. But it's really hard, especially since I have exams in two weeks. But I get about an hour of computer time every day as a break from studying. I check my email, I go to the RPG I'm in for TPD (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ThePrincessDiariesRPG/) and I write the chapter. In about 3 weeks exams will be over, so I can breathe again. Then I'm going to update like crazy. Three, maybe But for now, I can only write one chapter everyday, or every two days. That's fair enough, right? :)*
Mom got her baby stuffs out of Ronnie's spare room. It consists of:
v A baby change table- originally wooden with white padding. The wood has been stained to match the wood furniture of the guest room, and Mom reupholstered the white to a purple-y color, matching the color of the guest room bed. I asked mom why it matched the guestroom instead of my own. I used to sleep in the guest room when I was a baby. Apparently.
v A Diaper Genie- was green. Mom contemplated leaving it the same but painted it a matching purple . She stenciled a diaper on it in white.
v A crib- was same as change table. Mom got purple baby sheets and stained the wood same color as change table.
v A rocking chair- sent from Dad. Mom didn't change the color so as not to offend him. It's a white color, so she bought a dark purple cushion for it.
There's a bed in the guest room, too. There's a nightstand too. They're stained wood, the same as the change table. Frank and I had to lug it all in. Mom said that since she has to be on this fetus-diet that's she's done enough. She refuses to answer the phone, make meals, or do housework if someone else can do it. She said she struggled by herself with me. So she sat on the bed and made sarcastic jokes about us.
In other words, Mom's back.
Lilly. Poor Lilly. She's known everything for her entire life. You tell her about something, she knows it. BUT SHE DOESN'T KNOW A THING ABOUT ME AND MICHAEL.
I have to think of something to tell Lilly when she finds out. Something good. Otherwise I'm going to be in serious trouble.
Later on that day
The cat is out of the bag. I went out to meet Michael at the zoo when I knew Lilly was at her meeting with the Public Access channel. The want to put commercials in her show to lower the cost. Lilly says it's okay, but she wants to hand pick the commercials. They got into a fight about it, so they had to have a meeting. I figured it would last awhile.
So Michael and I met for the first time since we started dating under no Lilly-supervision. It was nice. We fed the ugly animals food (from the machines provided for the purpose of feeding animals) since just about everyone feeds only the nice looking ones.
We had time to discuss the Lilly problem. We figured I could tell her on the plane to Genovia (which I have to get up for at 3 am this morning!). Since it was a nine and a half hour flight that would give us a long time to discuss it. And it's on a private jet, not Genovia's, but a sponsor of the Genovian Pear Festival. I went on it before. I got to sit in the kitchen area. By choice, of course. There was no way I would sit with Dad and Grandmere for nine hours. They sat in the passenger area. So I guess we'll have the privacy this predicament requires.
Michael and I agreed that if she didn't like it, then I wouldn't apologize. We love each other, and why should we have to apologize for that?
However, it didn't quite turn out that way. Lilly reached an early agreement with the cable people.
So, she called me to come over. I wasn't home. Frank answered the phone, saying that I was out with my boyfriend.
Lilly assumed Kenny, for what reason I don't know. She called Tina for Kenny's number. Tina reminded her of the breakup.
Lilly got confused. Her portable phone battery needed to be charged. She went into Michael's room to ask to borrow his and found him not there, so she then asked her parents of his location. They told her that Michael was out with me.
Lilly simply put two and two together and reached the conclusion. We were dating. It has seemed so obvious now that she thought about it.
She called me back. I still wasn't home, but she left a message with Frank.
When I got home I was in a great mood. I went to the kitchen to make myself a snack. On our notepad Frank had written :
Mia, Lilly called. Call her back!
I figured that she had great news about the show. Either that or horrible news about the show.
I was dead wrong.
"MIA!!", she said, "Do you mean to tell me that you and my brother are…."
"Are what?"
"Dating!" she said, "Behind my back!"
"Well, we were going to tell you, but…"
"But what? You felt it would surprise me into a state of total anger?"
"Well, yes. Do you want me to apologize? Because I'm not apologize for being in love with your brother."
"I knew that you guys had immense crushes on each other. All along. I'm not mad that you are actually dating. I couldn't care in the least. In fact, I'm happy for you. Now I don't have to deal with those two big secrets in my life. Those two big secrets, which are the type that you CAN'T tell someone. I'm just mad that you guys DIDN'T WISH TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH ME."
I bet she prepared that speech.
"Well Lilly. I never knew that you'd take it this way. That's why we avoided telling you it. We thought I could tell you on the plane."
"My New Year's resolution is to prevent the holding of grudges on people for small offences on me. Well, that and to achieve a national or international award of achievement for…things . I guess I could start now. If you apologize, and promise not to leave me out too much when you two go out, then, sure. I'll forgive you."
Wow. What's gone through Lilly's head. She's a whole new person.
Ten bucks says her parents gave her an hour of their psychoanalyst time.
