Chapter 13-
"Mum? Lionel, Sandy? I'm home!" She shouted as she came in the door the next morning.
"In here love!" Her mother called. Judy came into the living room to find her family, and the three Sheffield children sitting there.
"How did it go?" Lionel asked.
"Alistair's parking the car, he'll be in in a minute." She smiled.
"So, it went well, I take it?" Sandy smiled.
"Very well." She replied.
"Hey, hey!" Alistair said, coming in the room and wrapping his arms around Judy's waist, and kissing her cheek softly. Everyone was taken slightly a back by this gesture. Even Maggie, Brighton and Grace; who really hadn't seen their entire relationship play out. "Did you tell them yet?"
"No." She said.
"Good, I was hoping that you hadn't."
"What is it, tell us?!" Jean practically screamed.
"Well we're getting married!" There was mixed reaction. The kids squealed with joy and burst into endless chatter. Lionel proceeded in congratulating them, Sandy stood up and hugged Judy; but Jean was literally speechless.
"What is it Mum?" Judy asked. She finally looked up and smiled.
"I'm just so happy." She said.
…………………….
"I'll bet that you're socked too." Judy said as they retreated to the kitchen.
"No, not at all."
"Oh come on Mum, admit it."
"Yeah Jean, we know you are." Sandy laughed.
"Yeah, dish already!" Said Gracie. Everyone looked at her in astonishment. "Sorry," she said, "that was Fran's voice crossing the tower bridge and flying out my mouth."
"Ah." Everyone nodded, and then continued with their conversation.
"So, Judy what about the baby?"
"What do you know?"
"Not a great deal…"
"Well tell us!" Jean said.
"Well, I know that I'm due in seven months. That's all. I'll let you know more tomorrow."
"How do you feel?"
"I don't know how to describe it, other than the fact that I'm just so happy!"
Sorry for the briefness of this chapter, I promise the next one will be longer!
