Chapter Twenty Four – I try
"I am not pregnant…" Cornelia said softly.
Irma smiled at her friend. "Wish I were you."
Cornelia snorted, at her comment. Irma and Cornelia had a sisterly relationship. It was a secret agreement to disagree on anything the other said. Of course the odd thing was that they actually agreed on that unwritten code, so therefore they broke… Oh whatever! To put it bluntly, they never wanted to be the other.
"Well lucky you." Irma said, as she plopped on her bed.
"Yea… Lucky me." Cornelia said, using a slightly disappointed voice.
"Oh come on. Stop being so… not ecstatic. It is a time to celebrate!" Irma said.
"What if it was wrong?" Cornelia asked, with an almost hopeful voice.
Irma's nose wrinkled. "Why do you sound so dejected that you are not having a baby… Unless. Unless you WANTED to be pregnant! Holy Sneezers!"
Cornelia flushed. "Well I don't know…"
"Why? I mean look at me. My life is ruined, because of what happened. Do you really think you would be able to continue to pursue a career in ice skating if you end up pregnant?" Irma asked.
"I don't… I just don't know." Cornelia said. "I mean, I thought being pregnant may bring Caleb and I closer… I just don't want to lose him."
"Lose him? How are you going to lose him? You've won him for over two years! I don't think he is going to leave you now." Irma said.
"How do you know? You haven't been in love! You wouldn't understand…" Cornelia snapped.
Irma couldn't deny the fact, that Cornelia's statement stung. "So? I don't have to be in love to see the love you and Caleb share!"
"Do you think Caleb really loves me?" Cornelia questioned.
Irma rolled her eyes. "Why must you always ask me the most obvious questions? He loves you Corny. Why? I don't know, but he does. I suppose you cannot chose the one you fall in love with."
Cornelia glowered at Irma. "You always know how to rub me the wrong way."
"I try." Irma smirked.
Author Note – I never thought coming up with three chapters in three days would be all THAT hard… anyways the little 'Cornelia' segment is coming to end… Aww… lol. Sorry about all these short chapters...
