Hope you guy's are enjoying the story so far. Here is a Thanksgiving gift from me to you.
Zelda Spellman sat in the kitchen, sipping a warm cup of ginger tea as she waited for Hilda and Sabrina to come down stairs for breakfast. For Zelda the tea would be her only breakfast. Just thinking about scrambled eggs mad her sick to her stomach, but why? Zelda usually loved having breakfast with her family, and still did. For the past two weekends she just didn't like the breakfast part. The ginger tea was the only thing that could keep her going these past two weeks .The nausea started about three weeks ago. At first it was minor, but now it was almost hard to get out of bed each morning.
Zelda got her act together, though, for her family. She hated seeing her sister and niece worried, making her have to deal with her sickness in secret. Zelda had her suspicions about what was making her sick, but didn't let it get to her head.
Suddenly Zelda heard foots steps coming into the kitchen. Pulling herself together, she got up and zapped a breakfast feast on the table. If she hadn't have just drank an entire cup of ginger tea, Zelda probably would have been sick again at the sight of all that food.
"Good Morning sleepyheads. Breakfast is ready so help yourself," Zelda said as she zapped up two plates, silverware, and two glasses of orange juice.
"Thanks Aunt Zelda, but can me and Aunt Hilda talk to you?" Sabrina asked, her voice shaking a little as she talked.
"Of course," Zelda said as she sat down in her chair. "What do you guys want to talk about?" She knew this had to be important since her niece's voice was shaking with every word.
"Well...," Sabrina said, grabbing a seat herself, while Hilda stood behind her sister, just incase she fainted. "You know how you've been feel sick lately?"
"Yes, but don't worry Sabrina. I just have a stomach bug," Zelda said, trying stop her sister and niece from worrying.
"You don't have a bug," Hilda blurted out. Zelda was confused, how did her sister know what was wrong with her.
"What do you mean?"
"You're actually…. Okay I don't know how to word this so I'll just blurt out that you're pregnant!" Sabrina nearly yelled.
Zelda was shocked. How did her niece know she was pregnant before her? This had to be a prank Hilda, Sabrina, and of course Salem was probably the master mind.
"Sabrina, I'm not pregnant, but nice try."
"Actually she's not lying," Hilda said.
Zelda had to admit that Hilda was a good actress, but she still didn't believe what the two of them where saying. "Okay, then how do you know pregnant?" Zelda said with a smirk on her face.
"Well, I used a diagnosis spell that Salem told me to use, and…"
"Dr. House showed up," Hilda interrupted. "Sorry. I just wanted to say that part."
"Anyway," Sabrina said giving a fake dirty look at Hilda. " I told him what's been going on with you, and he told me you were pregnant, not in those words, but…"
"Let me get this straight. You had a man from a TV show, tell you I am pregnant. Well, let's wait for the four wrong diagnoses from him before we go pointing fingers."
"But…" Hilda and Sabrina yelled
"No buts. Unless you prove to me that I am having a baby then stop with this joke of yours," Zelda said as she walked into the living room
"We're going to have to use the plus or minus spell," Sabrina said to her aunt.
"Plus or minus tell us the truth. Is Zelda pregnant? Give us the scoop," Hilda said, pointing her finger in the air.
Zelda was sitting on the living room couch reading People Magazine when suddenly she heard a loud bang. Turning around there it was, a giant candy plus. Zelda knew this spell so well since her sister used it a lot, but for only two things. One was to find out if men were single, and the other was to find out if a woman was…pregnant.
Zelda was in such shock. She couldn't believe she was pregnant.
"Aunt Zelda. Are you okay?" Sabrina asked as she sat next to her aunt with Hilda on the other side. Suddenly Zelda began to cry, with her right hand place gently on her abdomen.
"Don't worry Zelly. We didn't want to upset you," Hilda said, hugging her sister gently.
"No, I'm unbelievably happy. My hormones are completely out of whack," Zelda said through a muffle of tears fallowed by a huge smile. Zelda couldn't believe she was finally going to be a mom. This was something she never thought would happen to her
"Aww. Aunt Zelda." Sabrina said as she joined in the group hug.
"Can I name it?" Salem asked, climbing on to Zelda's lap.
"No!" All three blondes said in sync.
"So is your pregnancy going to be normal or is there going to be some even more strange things going on for the next 8 months?"
"It will be normal. A witch baby doesn't get its powers until after it's born, but since her father is… Oh my goodness. I have to tell Willard." Zelda said as she got up from the couch and ran into the kitchen. She knew though that her sister and niece would fallow her and try and stop her from telling him.
Hilda hit the hang up button on the phone right as Zelda dialed his number.
"Zelly you can't do this. First of all, you and Willard broke up weeks ago, and second, he hates kids."
"Yes, but he has a right to know, and he wouldn't hate his own child," Zelda said as she started to dial the number again, but stopped suddenly as she heard the toaster go off making her hang up. In the toaster was a scarlet envelope addressed to her. Scarlet letters only meant one thing. This letter was from the Witches Council, and meant that it was urgent. Zelda didn't have to read the letter to know what it was about.
"Aunt Zelda. What did I do now?" Sabrina asked. Zelda when to the toaster, grabbed the letter, and opened it
"Dear Zelda Spellman:" she said reading the letter out loud. "You and your family are here by sentenced to the Witches Council immediately to discuss your pregnancy."
"Why do they want to discuss your pregnancy?" Sabrina asked.
"Because I'm having a mortal's baby." Zelda said placing the scarlet letter on the kitchen counter. "Because I'm having a mortals baby, I might be banished, or lose my powers,"
Oh the evil cliff hanger. Like always review.
