Part 7
Half an hour later we pulled up in front of Mom's house we had been
silent for the rest of our journey as there didn't seem to be anything
more to say but it didn't seem uncomfortable however when we stopped
I could feel tense rise between the two of them I got out of the car
and headed up the driveway to the front door I heard both doors open
then close I turned around and saw both of them walking up the drive
standing close together Mulder's hand behind her back.
Mom greeted us at the door issuing hugs all round.
We spent the afternoon with Mom, Dana and Mulder came clean about
their marriage I though Mulder was going to suffocate or die from
shock as Mom jumped up and Squealed hugging him tightly, she kissed
on the cheek then grabbed Dana and gave her a hug and peck on the
cheek. When they had settled into their seats I cleared my throat
and opened my mouth to say something Mom got this look in her eye
like she knew what I was going to say,
"You know what I'm about to say Mom don't you"
"Just a niggled of something to do with Mary and you"
"What Charlie"
Dana asked questionably, I smiled
"Mary's expecting twins due late October, early November."
This time I thought I was the one going to be suffocated, Dana who
had been sat on the sofa next to the loveseat I was on jumped across
landing on top of me then Mom joined in hugging me
"Guys as much as I love you I can't breath"
Both Mom and Dana got off giving me some air Mulder stood up and
offered his hand in congratulations.
We spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing and Mom even phoned
Mary to congratulate her on the pregnancy, Mary scolded me for not
phoning earlier I told her I was sorry and that I'd tell her why
I hadn't phoned when I got to Dana's. We stayed for dinner with Mom,
Mom and I cooked and Dana and Mulder did clearing and washing up after
Dinner.
Dana and Mulder dropped me off at her apartment, both of them ame up
so that Dana could grab what she need for work the following day.
They left me to my own devices for the evening so I took a shower
and settled down in the guestroom reading my book that I wanted to
finish before I left D.C. looking at the title made me smile,
Stephen King's Pet Sematery hell of a lot better than the film
which has so many things wrong with it.
