Chapter 2
The sun shone through the net curtains of the O'Connell Manor master bedroom where two figures spelt soundly. The figures looked so peaceful and calm comfortable with one another's company.
'The sun came up.' Evelyn said as she stirred. She patted her husband's back and he shifted a bit and then opened his eyes. 'Honey time to get up. Alex has to be left at school. Summer is over.' She said and kissed his cheek and whispered. 'Which means the house is ours..' She smirked knowing he could see her smile. Rick smiled and got out of bed as fast as you could say 'Bob's Your Uncle' Evy laughed as she watched him change quickly and leave the bedroom to rouse his son. She climbed out of bed and suddenly a wave of nauseous came over her. She breathed over it and shrugged it away.
'Probably Rick's cooking.' She said softly smiling at how awful her spouse's kitchen skills were. She put her dressing gown on and made her way downstairs to prepare a breakfast for her family.
'Mum, do I have to go?' Alex whined as he sat down at the table his shirt and tie shoddily done up. Evy went over to him and button his top button and did his tie up again.
'Yes you do. Now eat up and go brush your teeth.' She said as she finished his tie. Alex groaned and began eating his cereal. He hated school. Not only was it the most boring place but he wasn't exactly what you call popular. Every one thought of him as the little Egyptian Kid. It wasn't that he was bullied, his friends called him the little Egyptian Kid, but it was just he didn't like being put into a category of a geek who was obsessed with Egypt and Mummies. It wasn't his fault he loved it, technically it was his mum and dads. He sighed again and left the table preparing for another long day of work and 'fun' as his mum put it.
'Ok well I'm off to leave Alex to school. I will be back soon.' Rick said as he kissed his wife goodbye. Evy watched them leave and then she sighed and sat down at the table. She was feeling hot and bothered and a bit icky. She had felt like it ever since they had returned from their latest adventure in Egypt. She thought it may have been something to do with the weather, meaning she might have sun stroke but she ruled that out after a few days as sun stroke doesn't last that long. She had thought of a few other things but all had been ruled out. There was only one thing left but she didn't know how it could have came about…she was always careful. She thought for a few more moments until she heard the door bang and a very sleepy Jonathan came in rubbing his eyes.
'Mhmp.' Came the noise from the sleepy man,
'Good morning to you too.' Evy said smiling. 'Rough night?' She asked getting up to get him some coffee.
'You would know, you caused it.' He grumbled.
'Me?' Evy asked putting on surprise face.
'Yes, if you had of let me have some more brandy..' he said but Evy interrupted him
'You would feel much worse. I was helping you.' She said. 'Here have coffee and stop blaming your mishap on me.' He sipped his coffee and then spoke.
'Where is Rick?'
'Leaving Alex off to school.' She answered simply.
'Oh poor old chap, back to school. I never liked school I did.' He said.
'Yes I know and school never liked you.' She said sitting down beside him.
'Well it's not my fault I found it boring. I wasn't like you and your little Library.' He sniggered. Evy gave him a look and he put his face back in his coffee.
'I'm back.' Came Rick's voice from the hallway.
'In here.' Evy called to him. A moment later he came back in and stood behind Evy placing his hands on her shoulders. 'Morning Jon. Sleep well?' He smiled.
'Just great.' He mumbled and went back to his paper he had found on the seat behind him.
'Ooo a ray of sunshine as always. Well good morning honey.' He said kissing Evy's head.
'Mmmm.' She said.
'I'm getting out of here. This mushiness is killing me this early in the morning.' Jonathan said and he got up and left with his coffee.
'Thought he'd never leave.' Rick said as he took the free seat.
'Yea…' She said. 'Now where were we?'
'I think here.' He said as he moved his chair closer to her and kissed her softly.
Evy kissed him back but again a wave of nausea hit her and she stopped. 'Maybe we should continue this later on. I'm not feeling up for it now.' She said rubbing her stomach.
'Are you ok?' He asked as worry came to him.
'Yes I'm fine. Just tired.' She said. She got up and began to wash up. Rick narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
Ok end of that short chapter. If you guys are smart you will probably be able to see where this is going….Please review! Molz xXx
