《 20 》It was 9 O'clock that night, Wendy came walking into the living room and sat on the couch were Joanna was
"I set Katie up on my couch, she went to sleep very quickly" Wendy said and Joanna chuckled
Joanna moved towards Wendy and starred at her she sighed
Wendy smirked "what are you thinking about?"
Joanna heavily sighed "I just feel so awful, when i found those vitamins, I flipped out on you and I shouldn't have"
Wendy shifted in the couch facing Joanna in a better position "Why did you freak out" she wasn't upset anymore she was just curious
"I think it because, I was sad that you didn't tell me yourself" Joanna gave Wendy a sincere smile "When we were younger- way begore the curse" zhe paused "I always imagined the day you would tell me you were gonna have a baby"
Wendy chuckled
"I was so young when I first had Ingrid and Freya, and I saw how good you were with them" she paused "I uh- walked in on you oneday, it was shortly before the war in Asgard, right before we left you were crying and your lover at the time came to you and you told him what was wrong-"
Wendys breath hitched
"I didnt hear much besides the word baby all I remember is that he got mad at you and he tried raising a hand on you, but before I tried to stop him you spelled him" Joanna took a breath "It has always stuck in my mind... were you..."
Wendy nodded her head yes, hoping that what she was about to confess wouldnt start an arguement "Is that all you remember" she quietly said
Joanna cleared her throat "the night we came here, after father cursed us, i remember waking up to crying and grunting... I tried to get up and see what was wroung but Victor told me to leave you alone"
Wendy clised her eyes for a second "Shortly after we found a place to rest, I had cramps, I didn't think much of it till later, when we fell asleep i woke up in alot of pain" her breath started to fet shakey "I uh tried to walk away from everyone, I layed down by a tree and thats when I knew, The pain was unbearable and I didnt know it but I was yelling a little and I woke up Victor, he saw me ........
(Flashback)
Victor followed to quiet grunts and crying, it was a ways away from were they where sleeping He saw his sister in law leaning against a tree, blood down the bottom half of her dressHe rushed to her "Wendy" he put a hand on her shoulder "whats happened"
Wendy looked up at him and gripped onto his arm "It hurts" she managed
He sat down by her "What hurts"
Wendy shook her head and another wave of sharp stabs began "Ahh" she winced
Victor wasn't sure what was happening "Shall I wake Joanna"
Wendy shook her head no "Please do-nt" she said with gritted teeth
"Wendy whats happened" he was confused, did someone hurt her
The pain started to ease but she didnt know for how long "Ive-" Tears coming down like a rainstorm "m-miscarried"
Victor went wided eyed "You were..." ge trailed off "What do we do"
Pain started to come back "Nothing, just hold me" Wendy moved over to him clutching onto him tight as a burning sensation rippled through her body, the blood finally began to stop but the aches got worse and ever so often you would be muffled screams escaped. As pain eased Victor helped Wendy clean up and She went to lay back down crying herself to sleep
(End of flashback)
"I cried myself to sleep that night" a single tear left her eye, taking trips down memory lane was not always an easy task for the Bechamp women
Joanna grabbed Wendys hands and kissed them "Im so sorry honey"
Wendy smiled and huged Joanna "Its okay, and I forgive you for ealier"
They pulled back "Okay so your pregnant" Joanna smiled trying to change the topic
Wendy smiled "I am" she looked down and back up
"How far along?"
Wendy chuckled "I am 4 months or so" She remembered "The baby kicked the other day" she smiled brightly
Joannas face light up "Really?... Now do you see why I complained all the time" she joked
Wendy rolled her eyes playfull and cupped her stomach "I think its a wonderful feeling"
Joanna smiled "Dose it feel weird?"
"Well I mean yes but atleast I know they're doin okay in there"
Joanna stood up and walked over to a self and came back with a book "whats that?"
"A photo album" Joanna replied, she flips threw a page, she pulls out one from the early 1900'
It was Wendy holding a little Ingrid next to a heavily pregnant Joanna. The two were sitting on a couch
She handed the photo to her sister
Wendy took the picture and smiled "Awe, look how small Ingrid is"
Joanna laughed "And look at how big I am"
They laughed untill Joanna spoke up "Do you remember what happened right after this"
Wendy smiled "I felt Freya kick you" she handed the picture back
Joanna begun to place it back in the book "You came to hug me and Freya kicked, you cried do you remember"
Wendy sighed "I do, I forgot how cute she was when she was a baby" she paused "god I've been an aunt so long I dont think im going to know how to be a mom"
"Thats okay, you'll get to learn"
Wendy and Joanna smiled at eachother and sat in silence, It was strange they were talking about something that 6 mouths ago wouldn't even be a thought
Joanna spoke up "You should get some sleep, youve had a rough day" said
Wendy stood up "your right" she leaned over and kissed her forehead "night" she said
Wendy made her way into her bedroom, Tommy was asleep
Katie had kicked all the blankets off of her so Wendy went over and pulled them over her "Goodnight sweetheart" she whisper and placed a fether like kiss ontop of her head
