"Back to the party, my parents leave again tomorrow. They won't mind us having a party," Lilly interrupted my thoughts.
"What, they're leaving again? They only just got here."
Lilly's parents were news reporters, or at least Lilly's mum was. Her dad was her cameraman.
"Yep, to Cornwall this time. They shouldn't be too long, only a few days."
I nodded and sat on Lilly's bed just as Lilly's dad called up the stairs.
"Food is ready!"
"I should probably tell your parents I'm pregnant straight away in case I throw up on their table. I feel proper sick," I said while looking over at Lilly.
I tookthe steps down the stairs very slowly, the thought of revealing to Lilly's parents that I was pregnant had me nervous. Just as we reached the kitchen door Lilly held onto my hand to comfort me.
"Don't be nervous, Eve, they'll-"
"BOO!"
We both gasped and jumped back as Lilly's dad jumped from behind the wall and scared the shit out of us.
"Dad! You can't do shit like that she's preg-" Lilly stopped mid-sentence and covered her mouth with her hand as each of Lilly's parents stared at me.
Up until then Lilly's Mum was at the stove, but was now walking towards us.
"You're pregnant?" she asked me.
I smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Yep! Thirteen weeks."
"Wow, I didn't even realise you were seeing anyone," Lilly's dad said.
"Yeah," I sighed, "it's been rather a quick thing."
"I'll say," Lilly's dad laughed which earned himself a smack on the arm from Lilly's mum.
We each smiled because, even at the worst of times, Lilly's dad could make us laugh.
"I'm only joking!" he said before moving forward to cuddle me.
"Congratulations, Eves.”
I smiled, thanking him and then looked back at Lilly's mum as she neared me.
She was a beautiful woman, and besides her eyes, it was clear where Lilly got her good looks from.
"Sometimes I still see you both as those two young girls playing with my pots and pans on the kitchen floor, I forget you're both women now."
I nodded, "My grandma said something like that."
She grinned and moved forward to hug me. "Congratulations, Hunny," she said before kissing my forehead.
Then she chuckled and wiped away the print of lipstick she must have left there.
"Right, let's eat and celebrate," Lilly's dad said before heading off into the garage.
The garage was set to the side of the kitchen and I knew what he was going to get. They kept all of their special alcohol in there, and he came back shortly after with a bottle of wine. I'd taken a seat at the table with Lilly and was inhaling the beautiful smell coming from the cooker. Despite my broken heart and feeling somewhat repulsed by the thought of eating, I couldn't help but close my eyes inhaling the smell of the food.
"I got you a J2O. It's a shame you can't have a drink with us to celebrate," Lilly's dad placed my drink in front of me before going to open the bottle of wine.
