Casey Novak. Casey Tough as nails, won't take shit, justice above law Novak was afraid of this. Calling her mommy.
Although, I suppose this wasn't your ordinary phone call. I mean, calling your very catholic mother to tell her you're having a bastard child is one thing- it becomes a little worse when the child's already been born.
"well here goes nothing." Casey thought as she dialed her childhood phone number. Cara was taking a nap, and now was as good a time as ever to make the call.
Ring. Ring. Hello? Casey heard as listened to into the phone receiver. Casey, it's your mom. She loves you. Don't be afraid. She thought to herself.
"Hi mom" Casey said into the phone.
"Casey?"her mom asked surprised. Jeese Casey though, I haven't called her in a while!
"yeah" Casey replied.
"how are you?" her mother asked
"um, I've got some news. Big news."
"well?" her mother said, excited to hear the news, while also a bit worried.
"well, umm, I… you're a grandma." She blurted out
Silence on the other line.
"mom? I haven't seen you in a while cause I was pregnant and didn't know how to tell you. Now you're a grandma. Well, again, since Joey and Mikey and Tommy have kids."
"who's the father?"
Casey took a breath "I'm not with him"
"but who is he?"
"mom, he doesn't matter"
"were you atleast serious with him?"
One more lie wasn't gonna hurt. "ya. We were…" dating wasn't good enough as long as she was lying "engaged. I was going to tell you, but before I could I found out I was pregnant and he broke it off and left."
"well he should be paying child support."
"I'm fine mom. I want him to have nothing to do with her."
"her?"
"ye. Cara Bridget Novak."
"I've always like saint bridget. Did you know she-"
"gave up her beauty so her father wouldn't make her get married and she could join a convent? Ya mom, you sent me to catholic school and the bible classes you hosted for the parish kids. My memories not that bad."
Her mother laughed. Good.
"I was actually thinking she should get baptized at Sacred Heart in Elliston." Casey said.
"Sweetheart that's a wonderful idea! I'm glad to see you're raising her catholic! And father Mathew will be so delighted to see you! And…" her mother continued on about the joys of Catholicism.
"that's great mom, but can you do me a favor? Can you tell everyone up there?"
"sure. I do you one step further, I'll book the baptism and you can stay with your father and I. I'll call Mikey, Tommy, and Luke and see if joey can come up with Amanda and the kids."
"thanks mom. I love you. "
"I love you too Casey. And Cara. I cant wait to meet her."
`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'
"So how was the phone call to your mom?" Olivia asked
"Actually, it went better than you'd expect." Casey replied as she took a picture of baby Cara sitting on Melinda's lap.
"she so sweet! I love babies!" Melinda said as she cooed to the child.
"Yeah, me too" fin said with a smile and a wink that only Melinda could see.
"all right, enough you baby hogger. Give little Cara to her uncle Munch" munch said, stretching out his arms. Casey laughed. Her baby was a hit.
"hi Cara! I'm your uncle munch. I call walking you down the isle some day." He said with a smile.
"please munch you'll be cryin' to hard" fin teased
Munch pretended to wipe away a tear. "I just SO emotional!"
The group was interrupted by the little cries coming from the child in Casey's arms.
"sorry guys, she's hungry. I'll be back in a few" she said taking the baby from Munch.
"can I feed her?" munch asked. He didn't want to give up the baby just yet.
"Not until you grow a pair of breasts" Casey replied with a smile.
Munch's face turned red "oh, sorry I didn't know you were.."
"breast feeding" Casey said, smiling at munch's awkwardness. "don't worry about it. I'll be back."
Casey left the room and the group began talking about random subjects, but of course it wasn't long before they moved onto the subject of the baby.
"speaking of baptism, do you know if liv and I can have next weekend off, cap? " Elliot asked.
"if fin and munch can be on call." He replied.
"sure" they both said "anything for Cara"
"thanks" Olivia, Elliot, and don all said.
"I'm back" Casey announced with the baby in hand.
"my turn" don announced as she handed him the baby.
"so what's the plans for the baptism?" Olivia asked
"it's at 2pm on Saturday but we're heading up Friday and leaving Sunday. After the baptism, my mom's having a party with my intermediate family at the house."
'so your parents and siblings? Doesn't sound too bad." Munch said.
" you make it sound like it's 6 people. It'll be me, Liv, El, My mom and dad, my brothers Joey, Mikey, tommy, and luke. Then there's joey's wife Amanda, Mike's wife Sarah, and Tom's wife Mary Anne, and whatever dumb blonde Luke's currently on. Then there's Joey's girls Kaitlynn and Meaghan and his son Patrick, Mike's sons Edward and Jared, and Tom's kids Christopher, Madelynn and Evalynn, Sean, Liam, and Bree. A grand total of twenty four, but that's assuming she doesn't invite any of my aunts, uncles, or cousins, which she probably will." Casey replied.
"fun" Olivia said sarcastically. She sucked at remembering names.
