The News – 41
"I'm really going to miss it here," Adrian said, which we all knew meant he would only miss Olena's cooking.
"I bet you've gained, like twenty pounds on just this weekend," I laughed.
"Like you haven't either."
"Hello, it's called pregnancy, that's what I'm supposed to do, gain weight. Dhh."
"Well I think I gained a lot of weight," Lissa giggled.
"Yeah, which is weird because you only ate one of her meals. And that was more food than we had all weekend."
"Your point is?"
"Your totally going to get fat," I laughed, which wasn't even true. She could eat all she wanted and still stay skinny.
"Don't listen to her," Christian said, hugging Lissa. "Even if you did, I'd still love you."
"Kiss ass," I chuckled. We were like that all the way back to court, laughing and making fun of each other. But in reality, we were all happy to be back to normal. But that was before we got some news that turned our world back upside down.
We were almost back to court when Lissa and I remembered what I told Lissa last night about my mother. So we slowly crept up behind her and started away with the questions.
"So what was the news that you wanted to tell me?" I asked, practically sitting in her lap.
"What?" she replied, looking at Lissa and me.
"Before we went to Russia, you said you had some news for me, and you said you'd tell me when Lissa was back to normal and safe and sound."
"But she's not safe and sound yet, is she. I'll tell you later, when we land and get all unpacked."
"But why can't you just tell us right now?"
"Because it's not right to tell you right now. Anyways, Abe and I have both got something to tell you, not just me."
"You guys aren't leaving already, are you?" I asked, getting mad. "Why do you guys always have to leave?"
"We're not leaving. Gosh Rose, just wait till later, okay? When you get on unpacked, just come to my room and we'll tell you."
"Fine," I said, leaving it at that and went to go find Abe.
"Do you really think they're going to leave?" Lissa whispered as we crept up to Abe.
"I hope not. It wouldn't surprise me though, they always leave me."
"So what are you doing?" I asked as I jumped in the seat next to Abe.
"Trying to wake up," he groaned. "Thanks for helping me."
"That's what I'm here for," I laughed. "So, I have a question."
"Shot."
"What do you and Janine have to talk to me about?"
"What?" he asked, looking confused.
"Don't do that with me. She already told me she had some news to tell me. So how about you just go ahead and tell me now?"
"No."
"Chicken shit. You're just scared she'll kill you."
"So, your point is?"
"And you're not scared that I'll kill you."
"Should I?"
"Yes. I'm pregnant, so you should definitely be scared of me. With all the hormones and everything, I can really get crazy."
"You were crazy before the pregnancy," Lissa laughed.
"Did I ask you? So what is the news?"
"You're going to have to wait Rose. It's mainly your mom that has news and I'm not going to tell you her news. So go away."
"Fine," I screamed, making everyone look at us as I stormed back to my seat as the seatbelt light came on.
"So if they aren't leaving," Lissa asked as we sat down and buckled up. "Then what do you think it is?"
"If I knew I wouldn't have been trying to get it out of them."
"What if one of them is dying?"
"Why would you even say that? You're going to make me go crazy."
"I'm just trying to figure out what it is. Oh, what if they're going to get married?"
"Liss, stop it."
"But what if they are? It wouldn't be so bad. You guys would be a complete family again."
"We'll never be a complete family," I whispered, looking out the window to see us descending below the clouds.
The plane landed smoothly, and we were off in no time. I rushed and got my stuff, not even waiting for Dimitri as I ran to my room to unpack so I could find out the news from my parents. I heard Lissa laugh as Dimitri mumbled something under his breathe, but I didn't really care at the moment, I'd make it up to him later.
Right when I threw open my door, I threw my suit case on the bed and started unpacking. I didn't really care where my clothes were, I just started throwing them in drawers, even if they were supposed to go in the closet. I heard Dimitri chuckle by the door when I threw my last clothing material in the dirty laundry basket, but I didn't care.
"Why such the rush Rose?" he asked as I made for the door. But he blocked it with his arm, shutting it in my face.
"My stupid parents have news for me and I have to go find out what it is," I said, trying to get under his arm and out the door. "So move."
"If you wait I'll come with you."
"You can't. Janine said only me."
"Fine. But before you go, come here." I did what I was told, only so he'd let me go and find out what the news was that was so important.
"What?" I asked as I smiled up at him. But he just grabbed my face and gave me huge, wet kiss.
"That's all, you can go now, but hurry back," he smiled as I planted another kiss on his gorgeous lips and then ran out the door to my parents' room.
"So what's this so called news?" I asked right when I barged through the door without knocking.
"We haven't even unpacked yet," Janine said, making a tsking sound. Abe just shook his head with a small grin on his face.
"But I have, so tell me already."
"Then start helping us unpack and I'll tell you." She didn't have to tell me twice. I threw open her suit case and grabbed a handful of clothes.
"But them away nicely," Janine said. "Or I'll just wait even longer to tell you." I groaned out loud, but did what she wanted. I had put a few shirts away before she finally started in on her news.
"Okay. So I've been wanting to tell you for a while now, a few months now. At first we had to make sure it wasn't a mistake, but we knew for sure a little before we headed off for Russia."
"So, you've had this news since when? Around when I announced I was pregnant?"
"Yeah, about a weeks after that."
"And you waited till now to tell me this so called news? What is it anyways?"
"Just hold on Rose. I'll get to that. We waited till now to make sure, like I already said. And then we waited until Lissa was back so you wouldn't freak out more. And don't even say that you weren't freaking out Rose, I know you."
"No you don't. You were never there for me, how could you know me. All you really know is that Lissa is like a sister I never had, and Dimitri is the love of my life, and I could kick anyone's ass if I really wanted to, if I was pregnant, but you still know I could if I wanted."
"I know Rose, and I'm sorry about not being there. I promise that we're both going to be here for you now on."
"Wow. It only took you guys about eighteen years."
"Do you want the news or not?" Abe asked, wanting me to stop back talking.
"Yeah, why else would I be here?"
"Anyways," Janine said, throwing Abe a 'shut up' look. "Now that Lissa is back to normal, and we know for certain that it's true, we'll tell you."
"Then do it already."
"First of all, I already told you that we're both going to be here for you for now on. Which means that we're not ever leaving again. Which means we've moved in, here at the court."
"Okay. But what else is there?"
"Told you she's smart," Abe chuckled.
"I already knew she was," Janine smiled. "Second, if you haven't noticed, you father and I have been getting to know each other again."
"What is that supposed to mean? It doesn't mean what I think it means, does it?"
"And what do you think it means?" Abe asked before my mom could.
"Does this mean that you guys are getting back together?"
"Yes," Janine whispered as she walked over to Abe and held his hand in hers.
"You've got to be kidding me," I screamed.
"I thought you'd be happy."
"Happy? This so cannot be happening."
"And why not?"
"You guys have been away all my life, and now when you finally return, only when I get charged with murder and all, and now you're getting back together. How come you couldn't have just stayed together in the first place? Or gotten back together when I was young? But no, now you wait till now, when I'm starting a family of my own."
"I'm sorry about all that. You know if we could, we would have. But it's better late than never, right?"
"I'm happy for you both, I really am. It's just that I would have liked to have you both in my life when I was young, when I thought you guys had just abandoned me."
"We didn't want to leave you. We've already told you that."
"I know."
"And if we could go back, we would have stayed with you."
"Yeah, now that you know have much I have accomplished."
"Rose, we're both really sorry about what we did," Abe sighed. "I thought you understood that?"
"I did. I mean, I still do. I am happy that you've given each other another chance. It's just a surprise to hear you guys actually say it. Anyways, what other thing, or things, are there. Because I know you're not done since you said second instead of finally."
"You're right. Finally," Janine smiled. "Well really there's two more things. But anyways, we're not just getting back together. We're getting married."
"Married. Oh my fucking gosh."
"Watch your mouth young lady."
"Don't start acting like my mom now."
"I am you mom, so you will listen to me."
"Fine, whatever, go on." Gosh, how much fucking news did they have? How much worse could it get?
"I don't mean to take the glory from you, I didn't mean for this to happen, but, um. . ." Oh, no, she's stalling, that's never a good sign.
"Wait, what do you mean 'take the glory from me'?" I asked.
"I know how you love the attention about being pregnant and all."
"No I don't. I do love attention, but I didn't plan to get pregnant. And I didn't plan to get pregnant to get attention."
"I'm not saying you did. What I'm trying to say is that you're not the only one pregnant."
"You don't mean?"
"Yes. I'm pregnant."
"How could this be? You're old. How could you even still get pregnant?"
"I'm not that old Rose."
"Fine, let's say you're not. How far along are you?"
"The doctor said about three months."
"So you're as far as I am?"
"About a week behind you, but yes." Oh my gosh.
"How could you be pregnant?" I was yelling at this point.
"These things just happen, as you know. We didn't plan to get pregnant Rose."
"You shouldn't have been sleeping together then. You guys split up a long time ago, a little over eighteen years now, how could you do this. Are you guys even going to take care of this kid? Or are you guys going to leave it like you did me?"
"We already told you we had to then. But now we're here to stay, so yes, of course we're going to take care of it."
"So it's more important than me or something? And it's not even born yet. I am so out of here." I walked to the door, pushing past Abe as my mom kept yelling at me. But I didn't hear a word she said as I stormed out of there, slamming the door behind me.
