In trouble

by Rain of Mystery

Chapter 2

The days were long for Becky as she was more preoccupied then ever, she found herself hurrying home just to be there before her parents showed from work. She would look at the egg and hold it in her arms with a smile. "Hi" she whispered to it with a smile.

The egg moved a little within, she knew soon enough it would be time for it to hatch. Then she heard the phone ring and hid her egg back into the closet , as she went downstairs to get to the phone. When she answered it she was surprised to hear who it is. " Hello?" she asked.

" Becky?"

" This is she."

" Hi it's me Robby Sinclair."

" Oh Hi Robby." she said with a smile.

" Hi. Listen I wanted to invite you come over for dinner with my folks. My mom is looking forward to meeting you. I hope it's okay." he told her waiting for her to answer.

She was quiet for a minute and thought it was very sweet of him to invite her over to dinner. She smiled. " Sure Robbie. I'd love to." she told him. "What time would you like me there?" she asked him.

" How about right after school, we can walk together." he said.

"Um... okay. Yes that sounds great!" she smiled excitedly and she became rather bashfully at her own reaction.

As they both parted ways she found herself smiling, and carefree from all of worries and she has something to look forward to and she couldn't wait. While sitting down at her desk in class, she thought for a moment as her smile faded, she hoped her little secret was still one, even if today would be her last day of not being discovered, she was going to risk it and take the chance.

Class ended, Becky met up with Robby after class and they walked together back to his house. Becky was quiet during the walk to the Sinclair's. Robby wanted to start up a conversation. " So uh Becky? What do you think about our school?" he asked her.

" Oh yes, I do like it, I've really enjoyed being there. Everyone has given me space since I don't talk much." she told him honestly. " Thank you for inviting to dinner." she told him with a smile.

"No problem. My mom is a great cook, and I know she will just love to meet you." he said.

As they reached the house they went through the kitchen backdoor, Robby let Becky go inside first.

Robbie spoke. " Hey everyone this is Becky Naphtha."

"Hi Becky, I'm Fran, This is my husband Earl, and our daughter Sharlene, and this is Baby." she introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you" Becky smiled.

She was such a pleasant guests and Fran simply adored her, even Sharlene found her to be a very nice girl, as they listened to her when she was aksed questions regarding, where she was from, and how did she like the school so far and so on, afterwards, when it was time for Becky to leave. She said her thanks and goodbyes to the Sinclair family, Robby was kind enough to offer to walk her home, but she declined and thanked him for inviting her over to dinner, and hoped to do it again sometime.

But... as Becky got home she was in for a shock.

The second Becky opened the front door, she was in for the fright of her life when she heard her mother screaming. " BECKY! " coming from her room.

Something inside of her went into fearful fight or flight , and for the moment flight felt right, Becky ran to her room, and saw her parents in her room next to the closet that they have opened up revealing her egg inside, Becky hurried past them and grabbed the egg and hurried outside with her parents stopped at the door of the house calling her name.

Becky reached the forest while sitting down on a log, catching her breath, and checking her egg for any damages, thankfully not, and no sign of hatching just yet, She gave a sigh of relief, not knowing where to turn, where to go, she knew her parents must be furious with her now. She looked at her egg and held it close. "I'm sorry." she whispered, she looked around and thought for a moment, what was she going to do? who was she going to go to? She sighed and nodded to herself.

She was going back to the Sinclair house, and talk to Robbie's mother Fran, hopefully to get suggestions, guidance on what to do, or what should happen next. Becky was scared and worried not just for herself but for the well being of her egg.

With in a half an hour, she made it to the Sinclair house, the kids were in their rooms calling it a night. Fran was in the kitchen and was surprise to hear a knock on the back door. She opened it and gasped when she saw Becky. "Becky? Oh uh come in. Is everything alright?" she asked. Becky settled the egg down at the table, looked at Fran and broke down crying in her arms. She whimpered. " I don't know what to do." she cried.

Fran held her and gently patter her on the back. " Oh sweetie there there, why don't you sit down and tell me everything." she said as she sat down along with Becky, and made a cup of tea for her to sooth her nerves.

The Becky began telling Fran everything that had happened to her. "You see it all started when my scent came in, and not long after my tail grew, and from then on, every thing went wrong from there, I fell in love with a boy from my class, he was so popular, and before I knew it, before I could tell him about it, he exchanged to another school without saying to me. I have never saw him again after that. After we had moved here, I laid my egg and I didn't know what was going on. I was so ashamed if my parents found out, I couldn't bare to tell them what happened. So I hid my egg in the closet and took care of it as best I could." Becky sniffled as she explained her situation to Fran.

" Oh Becky to go through all of that, I'm so sorry no one was there to help you, but do you think if you explained this to your parents and tell them what happened, do you think they would be more understanding and help you." Fran suggested.

" They-they wouldn't understand." she sniffled once more.

" They found the egg and... I just grabbed it and ran out of the house."

Fran didn't know what to say to her, this was a situation that she had never been in or could understand it. She was silent for a moment in thinking. Then she thought of an idea. Fran called them, gave them the address to come over. Becky was nervous as she sat and waited for the door to knock. " I'm sorry ton put you in this situation, . My problems shouldn't be yours." she said sadly.

" It's okay Becky, you shouldn't have to go through this alone. Just talk to them." Fran told her. Meanwhile Robby and Charlene heard everything from the stairs, and were surprised to hear what has been going on with Becky. Then the door knock, they quietly and hurried back up stairs before their mother could see them.

Fran opened the door, Becky was in the kitchen and gasped when she heard her father speak to Fran. She took a dep breath as her parents went into the kitchen with Fran. They both saw their daughter scared when she saw them, as she was holding the egg close to her. They sat down and the look of her father said everything. ' I know what your going to say dad." Becky said knowing very well.

"Becky do you know what you have done?" her father spoke.

" Yes, I do, and it was not just my fault. It takes two you know." she said looking at him with the same stare he looked at her with.

Her mother spoke before her husband could say anything. " Honey, please... tell us what happened? "

Becky's tears fell and she sobbed, crying, explaining what had happened to her, and then everything became clear to her parents. About her scent, her tail coming in, and how a boy that she liked took advantaged of that, and what happened to him. Her father looked at the ground and nodded his head in understanding, as his wife held his hand, and with tears in their eyes. " Becky, let's go home. We can work this out, and everything is going to be okay." her mother said gently to her.

Her father was going to interject something, but Mrs. Naphtha looked at him. " This was something we have to work together as a family... let's not focus on this as a bad thing, because we as of this moment, we are going to be grandparents."

Becky smiled at Fran, and hugged her. " Thank you Mrs. Sinclair." she whispered thankfully.

Becky's parents went to her and gave her a hug, and gently petting the egg.

The end.
