Chapter 15: Can You Keep A Secret?
Lorraine checks her cell phone she has a message from the doctor's. She listens to the message and can't believe what she heard. She steps outside to collect her thoughts. Jake walks out there.
"Hey." Jake said to her.
"Hi." Lorraine said as she hugged him.
"What was that for?" Jake asked in confusement.
"Can you keep a secret?" Lorraine asked him.
"Yeah." Jake smiled.
"I'm pregnant." Lorraine squealed with delight.
"Congratulations. Did you tell Mom and Dad yet?" Jake asked hugging her.
"No, I just found out myself." Lorraine smiled.
"So, Vinny doesn't know?" Jake then asked leeting go of her.
"No and I don't want you tell him as soon as you see him." Lorraine told him.
"He's going to find out sooner or later." Jake told her.
"I'll tell him before we leave Lake Winnetka. I'll ask him to take me to a romantic dinner and tell him there." Lorraine smirked.
"Then, you're going to tell everyone else?" Jake then asked her.
"Then, I'll tell everyone else." Lorraine replied.
"I don't know how long I can keep this secret from Vinny." Jake said.
"Jake, I know things about you that I could tell Vinny." Lorraine then told him.
"What type of things?" Jake asked nervously.
"Things that he would never let you live down." Lorraine said.
"I won't tell him a thing." Jake said.
Lorraine pats Jake on the head and walks back into the cabin. Jake looks across the lake and sees someone smoking at The Boulders. He walks back into the cabin and goes to the boys bedroom to go to sleep. The next day is chaos because the wedding is only a few days away. Jake sees Vinny by himself and walks over to him.
"Hey." Jake said to him.
Vinny nods his head and waves to him as he flicks something into the lake.
"What's wrong?" Jake then asked.
"Nothing." Vinny coughed as smoke came out of his mouth.
"Does Lorraine know you smoke?" Jake asked.
"I don't smoke." Vinny laughed.
"Then why did smoke come out of your mouth?" Jake then asked.
"Those buffalo wings last night were really spicy." Vinny lied.
"The truth." Jake told him.
"If you must know I do smoke and no Lorraine doesn't know anything about it." Vinny told him.
"She's going to be pissed at you." Jake then said.
"Not, if she doesn't know about it." Vinny told him.
"I know the drill. This is our secret and you'll tell Lorraine eventually." Jake said to him.
"Exactly." Vinny told him.
Vinny hands Jake twenty bucks to keep his mouth shut and walks away.
Sorry it's short.
