Chapter Five: Christmas Eve
I stood out on my balcony window, looking out at the stars. This could be the final Christmas I have on this earth, or at least with them. And what about my baby? I haven't even told anyone yet. I believe it's a little girl now. but then again how could I know for sure. I was only in the first trimester. Kittianna...what if we don't win? Could her life be saved?
I went back inside and closed the glass door. I knew I had to start getting ready. This was the night that we all got dressed up and sat and eat and drink wine and watched are childern open there presents.
In my closet I had two formal dresses, My light blue dress that was empire waist and off the shoulders. It was given to be by my mother from the silver millenium, it was mine, my princess. Secondly, my black halter, I bought it a few years ago. I was debating which one I wanted to wear. I wasn't every showoffy but after a few moments I got my light blue dress on and curled my hair, and do my make up
This is the one time of the year were I don't look out feel like myself. Funny what makeup and curling your hair will do. I like the way I feel but I look at my self and see someone else. Maybe that is why Mina like to dress up all the time.
I slowing walked downstair and I looked around. The normal bright room was filled with candles and the smell of sweet cinniminn still filled the air. It was so lovely. I walked over to Greg and took his hand. Even though I was standing right beside him, It felt like I was a million miles away.
"Amy!" Serena grabbed me and pulled me away from Greg, and outside by our pool, " You have a secret now spill!" She was active and very persistent and I thought I should go ahead and tell her but when I opened my mouth nothing came out. "Come On Amy! You gotta tell me....pleeeassee" Her blue eyes pleed with me to tell her.
"...pregnant" That was all I can get out of my month...and I saw Serena look happy and jump up and almost landed in there pool.
"Amy that is great!!! I am happy for you!" I looked at her and watched her face changed from happy to sad.."The Last Battle, that is why your not rejoyessing" I nodded slightly. "Come on Amy, lets go inside. This is could to be our last night here. Lets spend it with our friends" She took my hand and lead me in the Living Room, where the children were already gathering there presents.
"Please..."
"But I wanna.."
"Mama.."
"Daddy"
"Please..."
Now I know our children were spoiled. No many how many times we stand no, they couldn't wait. Finally, we agreed and are room become full of wraping paper...and not sortly after 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.
"Hey" Serena started running around acting silly like she did when I first meet her, "Remember when we first came here?"
Not long after all the sad thoughts left and we were laughing once again. Greg held me tightly has we all talked the night away. Like nothing would ever change..
