SILLY LITTLE LIFE
CHAPTER SIX
( prompt: "No- no, I can't do this!" )
Pip and Linny sat on either side of Lissa, gripping each of her hands tightly in theirs. Lissa was distraught, obviously, and breathing heavily but shallowly at the same time. She was frightened, horrified. She didn't know how he was going to take it. Would he be happy? Angry? Would he leave her now?
Oh, God. It wasn't supposed to happen so soon!
They'd just gotten married three short months ago. Did these things happen this quickly? He'd just gotten a new job, a well-paying thing as a dock worker. It was great money and they could finally afford their little apartment with money to spare.
He was finally making good on his promise to his father by making a good life for them, but now this.
"Lissie, honey, you have to calm down," Linny whispered, stroking Lissa's hair soothingly. "He's going to take it just fine. I know my brother. He loves you."
Lissa shook her head, tears in her eyes. "No-no, I can't do this! I can't do this to him. It's too fast. It wasn't supposed to happen so fast. I'm not ready."
There. She'd said it. Out in the open. There it was.
Lissa looked up slowly when she heard footsteps, and felt a bit of relief seeing Sean Conlon's warm face, though he looked as if he'd run the entire way to the hospital. Jack Kelly, who looked a bit taller and more mature, followed after him.
"What's the matter with Liss? Kelly didn't tell me nothin'," Sean said, crossing the floor to his new wife. She let both Pip and Linny's hands go to fling herself into his arms, resisting the tears.
"Sean, there's something I have to tell you," Lissa said quietly. How the hell was she supposed to tell him this news? She wasn't ready; she couldn't do this. She wanted the ground to swallow her whole, but instead her mouth decided to blurt it out: "You're going to be a father."
