Was it April Fool's day? Pixie noticed that everyone was looking at her stomach. Suddenly, she laughed as if it were the best joke of all.
"I guess I forgot to tell you guys," she went to get her caffeine-free tea and grabbed a cookie.
"What? You and Cyrus-" Frankie started.
"Well, who else could it be?" She shot him a look. "Yes, we're having a baby."
Frankie looked like he might be the one to faint, but of course, Eric and Derrick were happy for her.
"Oh, I've always wanted rhyming uncles for our child," She grinned then as if they truly were a part of her family because she wasn't going to call her parents about it. Cyrus said he would call his uncle back in New Jersey, but as of yet he hadn't. Which was fine. It was best to let it sink in. This was so very new and each day felt like a blessing even if she'd had morning sickness in the evening. Even then she was ready to stuff her face with carbs. Oh, she was probably a wreck, but at least there were a few treating her like a queen.
Yes, life went on and it was a happy one, even if it were quaint, cozy and very quiet.
"Are you sure you're all right?" Frankie sounded as if she should take leave by now.
"I have three more months to go," she said. "I'll just keep going." She said she had been making appointments and all was good.
"Did you tell Cori and Megan?" Frankie wanted to know.
"Oh, her grandmother knows," she shrugged. "I really wanted to wait and Cyrus thought Cori might be mad. He thought you might be mad too. Are you?"
"Of course, not." Frankie smiled then put his arm around her, almost giving her a hug, but doing so ever so carefully.
Happy news
ReplyDeleteHola!! un capΓtulo muy interesante, me gusto mucho. Besos
ReplyDeleteI like this chapter dear!!!
ReplyDeleteAw... did the yhave a thing once (Frankie and her?) I liked that line too "who else would it be" lol
ReplyDeleteFrankie and Pixie do go way back, but they are more like family than anything. Of course, he didn't want her to get involved with Cyrus since he felt it might be more of a burden because well, Cyrus is just a wee bit peculiar, but I think we all have someone like that that we may not know just what kind of person they really are until we get to know them.
DeleteOh, thank you for clarifying that! I love how deep your universe is- the interrelationships.
DeleteCyrus a "wee bit peculiar" :)
sound happy ending story....
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
Yay, Pixie and Cyrus! Such happy news! And of course I love this part:
ReplyDeleteFrankie looked like he might be the one to faint, but of course, Eric and Derrick were happy for her.
"Oh, I've always wanted rhyming uncles for our child."
I was just delighting in the whole rhyming name thing, and then Pixie
had that great line! The ending, as always, is perfection too, with Cyrus being so sweet and gentle with Pixie. πΆππΆππΆππΆππΆπ
time is mistery
