Bonnie carried the tray to the dinner table where her whole family was surrounding, as she looked at some of her older brothers and sisters she noticed how tense they were looking. "So how was it traveling the world mum, dad?" Johanna asked excited.
"Did you buy us anything?" Clyde asked but ended up getting smacked upside the head by Mirage, who just looked at him unimpressed.
"It was wonderful but we were missing you guys," Lucy the mother of fourteen replied smiling at her fourteen year old daughter, Bonnie, "did Mirage look after you well?"
"They aren't exactly dead," Mirage deadpanned crossing her arms.
"So what happened while we were gone?" Theo asked looking at Mirage.
"Nothing much, the normal things that happen in the Oliveri household minus you guys," the black haired girl shrugged, "Keith is getting married to Jasmine while Crystal is getting married to Tyrone, Dash, Tala, Maria and…" Mirage trailed off biting her lip.
"Kai's back," Jack finished looking at her worriedly, "I'm competing in this competition, Butch likes mmm hmmmm," Jack mumbled into Butch's hand.
"No one," Butch said hurriedly punching Jack in the back, "you idiot," she shrieked wiping her hand on his jumper as Jack licked her hand for freedom.
"I had to put up with that for a six weeks," Mirage mumbled looking at her parents, "I think I deserve a reward," she smiled innocently at them.
"You won't get a reward once you tell them," Dan whispered in her ear, "when are you going to tell them?"
"Leave me alone or I'll injure you," she glared at him and then turned back to her parents.
"Must've been a pain having to greet all our relatives," Nina walked into the kitchen her husband Liam and her two kids following her, "welcome back," she kissed them on the cheek and leaned against the counter, "Keith won't be able to make it till tonight," she informed flinging her blonde hair back.
"I need to go to the bathroom," Mirage quickly got out of her seat and dashed to the toilet. She lifted the lid and threw up for the third time that day, "I don't know how I'm going to deal with this," she mumbled shakily.
"Are you okay?" Nina said knocking on the door and entering the room.
'Please, please let my dumb sister not figure it out, please let her be dumb when I need her to be,' Mirage prayed turning around, "what is it with this family and just walking into bathrooms, when I clearly state that I was going to the bathroom?" she snapped standing up slowly as not to make the pain in her head get worse.
"Who else walked in on you?" the girl asked looking at her carefully, "are you okay? You look a bit pale," Nina motioned to the face area.
"Jack walked in on me earlier and I'm fine thanks for asking," Mirage said softly looking at the floor, "just a really bad case of the flu," she added. Nina studied her carefully, she peered into her face biting her bottom lip, "why do you suddenly care?"
"Because you're my sister and if anything is bothering you, you can tell me," Nina smiled but Mirage just frowned.
"What do you really want?" she asked, "you aren't the caring type, so just tell me."
"You first," Nina muttered, "you don't have the flu and I know the symptoms of being pregnant, nausea, fatigue, cravings or not craving and the fact that you seem a bit cautious and guarded," the twenty six year old put her hands on her hips, "honey I went through it with two kids, telling the one you fell pregnant with was the first of my worries."
"You tell mum and dad and I'll get my bow and arrow out," Mirage threatened.
"Mai, I'm not telling anyone, that's going to be your job, now," Nina grabbed her roughly by the arm and pushed her out the door, "the sooner you do it, the sooner the weight is going to be off your shoulders."
"Let go of me Nina!" Mirage cried fighting back, "I never did this to you," she argued.
"You're the one who taught me how to do it," the blonde growled, "you're the one who taught me to tell the truth."
"About breaking vases and sneaking out."
"Girls what's going on out here?" Theo walked into the hall looking between his daughters.
He walked towards them when, "dad watch out!" Clyde called out. All the occupants that had just arrived jumped back surprised from the sudden crash. Theo looked up slightly dazed when he slipped on a skateboard. Dan and Jack stepped forward lending their hand to help him up.
"Are you okay dad?" Jack asked wincing as his father held onto his hand in a crushing grip.
"Take that skateboard and keep an eye on it, you wouldn't want it smashed into splinters in the middle of the night," the aging man said menacingly. Jack nodded his head and picked up he skateboard, he ran up the stairs and shoved the board in his room. "So what was that fight about?" he asked a bit more cheerfully.
"Mai has something to tell you!" "Nina was being a jerk!"
Theo and Lucy frowned at each other and turned to Mirage, "what do you have to tell us?" her mother asked.
"Kai and I," Mirage choked, "Kai and I are-"
"Getting married," Jack came down the stairs all smiles, while Mirage, Dan, Nina and Butch stared at him in horror.
"NO!" the four all yelled.
"You dickhead, you'll be making things worse!" Butch cried throwing Clyde's baseball mitt at him.
"You all better explain yourselves," Lucy said sternly.
"In private," Mirage mumbled scratching her head, "but Dan, Nina, Butch and Jack can come," she turned around and glared at them. They all nodded their heads slowly making their way into the lounge closing the door. Of course being the siblings of those who were in trouble, all ran into the dining room grabbing a glass, just to make things easier to hear. Each of them placed the glass against the door trying to make sense of the conversation inside.

"This is against our religion Mai," Theo said tiredly looking at his daughter ashamed, "how could you do such a thing?"
"We were both a bit drunk from the party we held for Keith and Crystal."
"Hello all!" Keith said happily coming in through the other door of the large room, "what's with all the faces?" he asked confused, "are we holding a meeting where the eldest get to talk or something?"
"Only those that know what's going on," Nina replied crossing her arms, "go out with the others," she nodded towards the door and Keith pouted.
"That's not fair I'm one of the eldest and plus I bet you that they're all listening in with the glasses," he ratted them out and instantly all the kids walked into the room.
"You're going to have a baby."
"You didn't tell Kai?"
"I hope it's a boy."
"No way a girl."
"There's too many girls in the family."
"You haven't told Kai?"
All the kids started talking excitedly, only the older ones seemed a little depressed. Mirage sat on the couch feeling sick, "can we talk about it tomorrow?" she asked fed up.
"We are going to talk about it now," Theo said still tiredly.
"You're pregnant with Kai's kid!" Keith exclaimed, "I didn't know you'd move that fast, I thought you'd be the good girl in the family."
"No that's Johanna, Mary-Kate and Ashley," Mirage mumbled, "I'm the one that stands up and protects everyone."
"Oh, yes you're the one everyone looks up to," Nina scoffed, "you're the guardian angel," she mocked.
"Will you shut up!" Butch yelled at her, "stop trying to get this off Mirage and put the limelight on you okay. You've always been hogging everything okay, you're a spoilt brat," Butch breathed out after saying all that in one breathe.
"Why don't you just get an abortion? Having kids can be a pain in the ass," Liam walked into the room holding a glass of scotch.
"Where'd you get that scotch?" Theo asked curiously hoping to god it wasn't his never been opened bottle aging for nearly ten years.
"In the kitchen cupboard," Liam replied easily taking a sip, "it's good stuff," he said.
Everyone grumbled and Mirage simply said, "dad why don't you take Liam into the backyard where you can have a talk?" Theo stood up and suddenly Nina looked alarmed.
"Don't hurt him daddy," she cried running after them as they left the room.
"Get an abortion if you don't want it," Clyde said from his seat at the piano.
"The thing is…" Mirage trailed off, "I do want it, I'm just not married not to mention I don't believe in abortion, who'd want to kill something that's living in you? That's a part of the human cycle," she asked shaking her head, "mum…don't put me on the streets," she whispered looking down.
The whole room went quiet and all the occupants looked towards the women in her mid forties. Lucy looked at each of her children's faces, "I could never put anyone out on the streets, but you know this house is getting too small to accommodate all of us-"
"I'll move out after the baby is born," Mirage interrupted. When she said that though her younger siblings cried out in alarm.
"No way!"
"You can't leave!"
"You're the best sister we have!"
"You're the only one that understands us!"
"No…she's going to forget about us when this baby is born. She's going to forget about us anyway even if she doesn't move out," Butch leaned back into the couch sad, "it was going to happen anyway."
"I'm not going to forget about anyone," Mirage laughed, "and I'd never want to leave you, I would've liked to raise this baby in the environment I grew up in. But mum's right, the house is getting small."
"But I thought it was getting bigger you know, Dan and Keith all moved out, leaving two extra rooms. The twins all share a room anyway, create one room into a baby room-"
"Nursery," corrected Clyde.
"Whatever tickles your fancy," continued Shawn moving his hand up to silent his older brother, "and the other one will just be a spare room, Mirage will still stay in her room in the attic."
"Yes but she has to be close to the baby see," Bonnie said acting like the intelligent girl she was.
"Then she can move down into the spare room," Shawn argued and then looked at the others, "it works out see."
"I'll talk this over with your father, how many months are you?"
"Don't know. Booked a session with the family doctor for tomorrow."
"Everyone go to bed, you'll all need it," Lucy stood up and opened the lounge room door.
They all filed out silently some talking about the meeting and the baby, "that black eye isn't going to leave you for a week," Jack said clapping Liam on the back, "I should know Butch and dad share the same talent."

I wasn't expecting that much reviews saying OMG! So I take it you all like it, good. I'm getting my hair done tomorrow, probably a short cut and dying my hair either black or a light shade of brown. And I am still pissed not as much as I was at the start of the chapter. Review this please, and give me some ideas. I need inspiration only being fifteen means I don't know what a pregnant woman goes through, not including the symptoms. There may be case of mood swings like 'you think I'm fat' or something. Ideas are good. Any who I think there's something like a week left of holidays or something, don't really know. But I MISS MY FRIENDS! My friends are bastards see, they don't call. Inuyasha is coming to Cartoon Network so I finally get to see what's so good about it! Anyway I got a headache and need to leave the comfort of my computer chair.
