Chapter Five: Christmas Eve
I stood downstairs. Everything was so lovely. We did a great job on the detorations and cleaning the house. To bad the guy missed all the fun. I wore my hair down, and my white princess's gown. I offen wondered why every year we got all dressed up. Just to be with the people we see everyday and live with. But then again, it's fun and I love it.
"Hey Darien, do you know what is wrong with Amy?" I kissed him lightly before he could responed. "She's been acting weird all day"
"No, but it could just be the stress from the last batter. It's hard on all of us. And Amy's more of a thinker and it's probably getting to her" He answered then held me, "Dont let it get to you. She'll be okay"
"Your right" I agreed but i knew there was more going on with Amy then just that. "The Last Battle is a big thing, and it's hard for all of us"
Has I was talking to Darien, I saw Amy come down the stairs, and stood by Greg. She slightly smiled, but I knew something wasnt right. She seemed like she wasnt there. She just wasnt acting like the Amy I knew. And that bothered me.
"Well, I am going to at least talk to Amy." I smiled and Kisses my husband," I mean, just to have one more girl talk"
"Okay, but hurry back Serena, the kids want to open there presents. and i am not sure the cakes and cookies and pies will hold them much longer" We both laughed and kissed eitherother again.
I quickly made my way to Amy, "Amy!" I grabbed jer and pulled her away from Greg and out the pool in the back yard. Has a last resort I would throw her in the pool to get her to talk.
"You have a secret now spill!" I waited a moment to give her a chance to tell me. I saw her mouth open but nothing came out." Come on Amy! You gotta tell me, pleeeaassee?" I gave her the puppy dog eyes I give Darien when I want something,
"...pregant" was all she said.
"Pregnant' I thought 'Amy's Pregnant' I jumped in the air and was happy, and excited. There is going to be another baby in the house! With the kids growing up this was great!
"Amy that is great!!! I am happy for you!" I was rejoying but i noticed that Amy wasnt...and i wondered why...infact maybe I shouldnt be either...my face changed and i wasnt happy anymore. "The Last Battle, that is why your not rejoyessing"
Amy nod slightly..I could tell she wanted to tell me more about it, but couldnt bring herself to talk about it. Amy always did hind her emotions, and i didnt want her sad, not tonight at least.
"Come on Amy, lets go inside, This could be our last night here" I frowned at my own comment 'Smart Serena' I thought to myself 'That'll cheer her up!'
"Lets spend it with our friends" I took her hand and lead her inside and back to the Living Room, Still feeling stupid about my comment to Amy.
"Please..."
"But I wanna.."
"Mama.."
"Daddy"
"Please..."
That snapped me out off feeling guilty and getting a headache.Our children where already gathering there presents and wanting to open them. We were sure spoiling them. And we barley ever said no.
We soon gave into there wishes and the clean room, became fool of wraping paper. And not long after all the presents where opened and the children thanked everyone. They went to bed....
"You know, this day went by quick" Amara said with a frown.
"Looking back on our lifes everything went by quick" Mina looked around the room at everyone.
"Don't start girls, it'll be okay" Helios voice was harsh and strong.
I had to think of something to get everyones mind off of all the sadness, exspecially Amy's. So I did the one thing I am good for.
"Hey" I run around the living room and acted has silly had i could. "Remember when we first came her?"
Not long after Amy started laughing, a long with everyone else. After that the time seemed to fly, yet again. And we remembered all the good times. And was happy once again. Just like before
