Previously on Surprise.....
In all our happiness something didn't feel right. I felt like we were forgetting something important. All of the sudden it came to me. Something that in all of our joy we had forgotten.
"Jesse what are we going to tell everybody?"
All week long Jesse and I thought about what we were gonna do. Finally we just decided we needed to tell everyone everything. I mean what else could we do? There was no other way. We called Father Dominic and told him to meet us at my mom's house tomorrow at noon.
The next day I stood at my parents steps thinking about what I had to do. I rang the doorbell Jesse at my side looking at me with confidence. My mom opened the door with a huge simile on her face.
"Suzie!! I'm so glad you're here!" my mother pulled me in to a huge hug. "But Suzie I thought you were bringing a friend?" she looked right through Jesse which felt like knives.
"I di... I am mom he'll be here soon." I almost spilled it. I waited for a minute then asked. "Is Father Dominic here yet?"
"Yeah Susie he's in the living room. Why is he here? Your not religious he doesn't need to approve of your new boyfriend." Ha more like husband. Not that Father Dominic approved of Jesse and me much, but he had gotten used to it over the years.
"Mom I think that you need to get everybody in the living and sit down I have some things I need to tell you." She looked at me curiously but did as I asked. When Jesse and I entered the living room Father Dom was sitting on the couch waiting for us.
"Why hello Susannah, it's good to see you again. What is it you need to speak with me about?"
"Father D. Jesse and I have decided to tell them." To say Father Dom looked shocked would have been and understatement.
"Tell us what Suze? What does Father Dominic know that we don't?" my mom looked slightly hurt about the fact that my old high school principle knew something she didn't.
Jesse and I looked at each other we stood up Jesse holding my hand. He smiled at me which gave me the courage to do what I did next. Taking a deep breath I said proudly.
"Mom, Andy, and Father Dominic I'm pregnant." Nobody spoke. Father Dom was the first to react.
"Susannah how?" he looked disheveled. "Is there someone else? Who is it Susannah? Tell me how could you do this to Jesse? I thought you loved him? I wouldn't have done what I did if I thought you didn't." I sighed after his little speech. Why is that the first thing that comes to everyone's mind when I tell them I'm pregnant? Why?
My mom was next one to react. She jumped up right in front of me. She almost ran into Jesse. Not like she could feel him.
"Suze how could you do this? You're not even married how can you be a single mother? Every child needs a father Suze. And who on the earth is Jesse? Is he the one who did this to you?" Wow my mom sure got a lot out in that single breath. Well looking at this from her point of view I'm:
pregnant and not married
a priest is okay with number 1
my boyfriend isn't the father of the baby
a priest is okay with number 3 also
there something I'm not telling her
I'm smiling at no one
and I'm hold thin air in my hand
"Mom I'm gonna answer all of you question just don't interrupt me please. You have no idea how hard this is for me." I looked to father Dom and Jesse then said "I'm gonna need your guys help explaining all this.
"Of course Querida. You know I'd go to the end of the world and back for you." I love him so much. It blows my mind the first thing he says the whole time we were here and he turns me completely into mush.
"I love you too Jesse. And I'm doing this for you because you deserved to be known and remembered forever." My mom and family looked at me like I was nuts.
"Susie, honey who are you talking too?"
Sorry I didn't have time to finish it, but I wanted to update to now its in two parts. Thanks for all the reviews! Hugs and Kisses (from Jesse of course!)
