Chapter 7: Clio Comes To Town
A week later, I was heading out the door to work when the phone rang. Reggie was still asleep, so I answered it.
"Hello?" I asked, as any normal person did when they answered the phone.
"Hey Lars," said the voice on the other end of the receiver. It was my cousin, Clio. "Your mother said that you had some big news, and I figured that I haven't seen you guys in a while, I'd come visit while hearing the news!"
"When will you be here?" I asked. "Reggie will be so psyched to see you."
"I should probably be in Ocean Shores about eight o'clock tonight," she replied.
"Cool," I said. "Well Clio, I have to go now. I'm going to be late for work."
"OK, Bye!"
"Bye!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Clio finally arrived that night, Twister and I had her sit down on the couch to tell her the news. We didn't let her see Reggie because she was now six months pregnant, and it would have been kind of obvious to Clio what our news was. Otto sat down next to Clio and sort of grinned at her. It appeared as if Otto had taken a sudden interest in Clio, though when we were kids, he was always ragging on her.
"Clio," I said. "The news. Reggie can tell you." Just then, Reggie stepped down the stairs and I saw Clio's eyes light up.
"Clio," said Reggie, "Lars and I are going to have a baby!" Clio then got up off of the couch and the two girls embraced each other as Clio congratulated us. They then split up as the doorbell rang. I went to answer it, only to see Sammy, Sherry, and Vanessa.
"Hey guys, Clio's here," I said as they stepped inside the house. They all greeted Clio, and there was so much noise, Sophie woke up. She sleepily walked over to Twister as he started to stroke her behind her ears. She apparently enjoyed this because she rested her head on his knee. It was a good thing that Twister was good with animals because Clio and Otto started to get flirty.
Otto was telling these crazy stories to Clio, obviously trying to impress her. She was laughing at his stories, and I could see the sparks flying between them. Twister noticed this too, because he looked up at me with a confused look on his face. He was probably worried, because Clio and Otto could get married, leaving Twister all alone in the apartment, unmarried and single. I had to feel sorry for Twister, because none of the girls ever paid him any attention. He could never get a girlfriend, and many times he had told me that he must be doomed to walk the planet alone for the rest of his life.
Anyways, I sat down next to Reggie on the couch and embraced her as everybody started to talk about the old days, when we were about ten years old. We had some good times then, but I was glad we were in the times now because the woman I loved was three months away from being the mother of my child. Although it wasn't all peachy, because she had her mood swings, since she was in her last months of pregnancy. But it would go by so fast, just like the last six months had. It wouldn't be long until we found out the gender of the baby, and Twister would paint the room. It would all be worth it; I just had to wait.
