Thanks for all the reviews already. I really appreciate them.
Chapter Three
Jessica's plane landed a few hours later. She made her way through the airport and headed in the direction of her luggage. She stood waiting for her bags to come into view when she felt someone tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw her sister Katie. She smiled and hugged her.
"Thanks for coming to get me."
"No problem. What happened? Mom said you sounded kinda sad on the phone."
"It's nothing."
"It's gotta be something if you came home Jess."
Jessica saw her bags and grabbed them. She started walking towards the parking lot.
"It's nothing that you need to worry about."
They walked in silence for a while until the found the car. Katie took Jessica's bags from her and put them in the back of the car, then joined her sister. The ride home was a quiet one and Jessica knew she had to say something or Katie would know something more was wrong than she was letting her know. She just didn't want to tell her while they were driving. Katie had a violent streak and Jessica wanted to get home before she told her, or Katie might just turn the car around or something. Jessica knew Katie would want to hurt Randy when she told her.
"Did Dave do or say something?" Katie asked as she pulled into the driveway.
Jessica got out of the car at the same time as her sister.
"No, Dave didn't do or say anything at all. In fact he didn't want me to leave."
Jessica followed Katie into the house and looked around. The house was nothing like Dave's. It was dark and cold and it didn't have any chandeliers or tables made of Oak or perfect looking kitchen counters. But Jessica loved her home. She sat down and sighed.
"Katie, you would might getting me some water? I don't feel too good."
"Sure." Katie smiled.
Jessica knew is was morning sickness now. She was going to have to get used to it too, she was going to have 9 months of feeling like crap. She was due to graduate in about 3 months and by then she realised she was going to have quite a bump. That scared her the most. She was always shy and knowing people would be looking at her and whispering about her made her feel even more sick. Katie returned with a glass of water and sat down next to her sister.
"Jessica, come on you know you can tell me."
"I'm just not feeling well that's all Kate. I'll be fine. I just need to go to the doctor or something. I'm fine." She smiled.
"I'm not buying it. But I'll let it lie for now." Katie said getting up. "I need to go back to school now though. I'll see you later."
"Ok." Jessica smiled.
After Katie had left Jessica took her things up to her room and sat on her bed. She sighed and felt like she might start to cry again but she held it in and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Dave's voice sounded sad.
"Hey Dave, I'm home safe."
"That's good. Have you told mom yet?"
"She's not home. I will though."
"Ok good. Call me all the time ok."
"Yeah ok. Did you talk to Randy?"
"Yeah...I don't know what good it will do though."
"Ok, thanks anyway. I gotta go now. I think I hear mom's car. I'll call you soon."
"Ok, Jesse - Belle take care."
"Bye." Jessica hung up and looked out of the window. She saw her mom coming up the driveway and into the house. She took and breath and walked to the top of the stairs. She was about to tell her mom, something that might get her disappointment. But, she was willing to do that. She knew she always had Dave if that happened.
"Well, it's now or never." She said to herself as she made her way down the stairs.
