Chapter 4: Developments
~ At the Von Trapp Villa ~
" Darling, your back. " said Elsa.
" Elsa, let's get a couple of things clear right now. I refuse to send the children to boarding school, just so their out of your way. And another thing, if your going to be a part of this family, respect the children's privacy and stay out of their rooms altogether, " said Georg.
" Couldn't we talk about this later? I'm sure I could find a way to change your mind. Besides if I hadn't snooped around, I wouldn't have found out what Lisel and that ex-wife of yours were keeping from you. " said Elsa with a smile on her face.
" Maria and Lisel are not keeping anything from me, Elsa. I think it's time to call it a night. " said Georg.
" Oh yes they are. Lisel is only keeping it because Maria asked her to. " said Elsa.
" What the hell are you talking about? " said Georg.
" Why don't you ask your eldest daughter. " said Elsa.
" Elsa, I'm sick of your tricks and the fact that yu flat of admitted to wanting to send the children away, sickens me. You have managed to change me back to the person I didn't want to become again. I am not thankful for that at all. Please pack your backs and return to Vienna as soon as possible. " said Georg.
" You can't be serious, darling. " said Elsa.
"Dead, serious. " said Georg, as he went to find Lisel.
~ Up in Lisel's Room ~
Knock: Knock
" Come in. " said Lisel.
" Lisel, you have a couple of minutes to talk. " said Georg.
" Sure, father. Is something wrong? " said Lisel.
" Hum? No, nothing is wrong. Elsa mentioned earlier in her rave that you and your mother were keeping something from me. Care to explain that to me. " said the Captain.
" I promised Maria..... I mean Mother, I wouldn't say anything. " said Lisel.
" Is it something that should be said. " said the Captain, looking at his eldest daughter.
" I think so but I can see why mother didn't want to tell you. Especially with Baroness Schrader around. " said Lisel.
" Lisel, what's going on? " said the Captain.
" Nothing, I already told you. " said Lisel.
" Lisel? " said the Captain.
" Alright, Maria's..." started Lisel.
" Maria's what? Sick? " said the Captain.
" No, she's not sick. At least not a bad way. She's pregnant. " said Lisel.
" What? And the two of you didn't tell me sooner. " said the Captain.
" Mother, asked me not to. She thought with Elsa around, you wouldn't care to be involved and we agreed with her. " said Lisel.
" We? You mean the rest of your brothers and sisters know as well? " said the Captain.
" Yes. Why do you thing mother when inside after yelling at Elsa. Her back was in so much pain, she couldn't stand anymore. " said Lisel.
" Thank you. Make sure your siblings make it to bed. I'll be back in a little while. " said the Captain.
" Is Elsa really gone for good? " said Lisel.
:" Yes. " said the Captain.
" Your going to visit mother? " said Lisel.
" Who else. I probably should clear up a few things from earlier as well. " said the Captain.
