The Collector ~ a winx club fanfic

Chapter 3

Early one morning Flora stood in front of her mirror and sighed. She knew it was too early in the pregnancy to be showing but she swore she saw some extra fat that wasn't there before.

Sighing again Flora turned and headed to the kitchen where the rest of the girls were eating breakfast. It had been almost a month since she found out she was pregnant... and she still hadn't told anyone besides Musa. Not even Helia. She just didn't know exactly how to tell him or the girls.

Entering the kitchen Flora put on a happy face and greeted the Winx.

"Good morning gir- Oh my! Stella what is that on your face?!"

"Its my sleeping mask! I woke up late and haven't had time to get ready yet! I'm a disaster! I cant go out like this!" Stella replied, scrubbing vigorously at the green gunk all over her face.

"well you better hurry!" said Tecna in between mouthfuls of cereal. "the boys are going to be here in exactly 30 minuets and 27 seconds!"

"thanks for that Tecna! I already know that! Sheesh! if you really want to be helpful than help me get this shit off my face!"

"Stella! be nice! here try this." Bloom said as she turned the water from cold to hot.

"thanks Bloom your a life saver!" as soon as she had the mask off her face she ran from the room to get ready, nearly bumping into Musa on her way out.

"wheres the Fire Stell?" Musa yelled after the blonde whirlwind and laughed. "another crazy morning in the Winx house."

"Morning Musa! did you finish that mix tape last night? I told Roy I would show him some dance moves today."

"yeah I finished it but are you sure its DANCE moves your going to be showing him?" Musa winked at Layla and made kissy faces.

"I didn't know Roy was coming today." Bloom interrupted.

"yeah the boys are picking him up from Andros on the way over. Im so excited! I haven't seen him in forever!" Layla replied.

Bloom gave a long pause then said "are you guys like... officially a couple now?"

"No. I mean I don't think so at least. I like Roy a lot but I still feel its too soon. I cant just completely forget about Nabu but I have to move on at some point right?" Layla face fell into a deep frown. "i just hope Roy doesn't get tired of waiting for me.

"that why you don't keep him waiting and get the love fest started ASAP!" Stella proclaimed as she strolled back into the room, this time gunk free and wearing normal clothes.

"Stella!" Flora warned

"what?! i'm just saying!" Stella replied as she fell into a chair at the dinning table. "Roy is a good guy, I would hate for Layla to miss out because she couldn't let go of someone who has been dead for a year already."

The sound of a metal chair scrapping the floor caused everyone to turn toward Layla as she ran from the room.

"Way to go Stella! god you can be such a bitch sometimes!" Musa yelled as she ran after Layla.

Stella frowned "i said something wrong again didn't I?"

"wrong is definitely and understatement. we really need to get a filter for that mouth of yours" Tecna answered.

"Crap im gonna go apologize. Tecna how much longer till the boys get here?"

"Oh now my time keeping is helpful?" Tecna asked with a flick of her wrist. "whatever. we have approximately 14 minuets and 46 seconds."

"that a pretty exact approximation Tecna" Flora laughed as she went back to her room to finish getting ready for their big group date. They were all going to the beach. Flora had just got a new bathing suit; a strapless pink one piece with a green wrap around since she felt extremely self conscious in her old two piece.

As she got dressed Flora thought to herself 'todays the day! im going to tell Helia for sure!' It was wrong of her to have kept it secret from him this long.

Flora finished getting ready and joined the rest of the girls down in the love and pet shop just as the boys were arriving.
