Chapter 26

One month later.

“I can feel it kicking!” Danielle gasped.

“Really?” charlotte asked, surprised. “Did he kick hard?”

“Yeah. It kinda hurts.”

Charlotte smiled. “Do you realize what's happening right now Danny?”

“What?”

“A person, a living human being, is being created inside you, someone who maybe will light up the world.” Charlotte said, with wonder in her eyes.

Danielle smiled. “You know what you sound like?”

“What?”

“A 30 years old women.” Danielle laughed.

Charlotte smiled.

True, both of them didn’t act like 19 years old girls. They seem way matured than their age. They don’t talk about boys, or artiste, or things that a 19 years old would talk about.

“It’s been such a long time since we last went shopping or to the pool.” Charlotte sighed.

They both were in Danielle’s room, of course.

Charlotte sprawled on the bed, playing with a rosy red apple in her hands. Charlotte threw it up and catches it again and again.

Danielle was lying next to charlotte.

“You know what I miss so much, since I’ve been with Greyson?”

“What?”

“Going on a picnic. On the hills.” Danielle smiled. “When I'm with grey, I can’t do that, because people would recognize him and they’ll go crazy.”

“How bout we go tomorrow?” charlotte asked.

“No, I can’t.” Danielle refuses, sadly.

“Why? You said you wanted to go?”

“People still don’t know that I'm-, I’m, this.” Danielle pointed at her belly.

“oh.” charlotte exclaimed.

Kring!

Charlotte picked up her phone.

“Danny I have to go, there’s trouble at home.”

“What?”

“Nothing too serious.” Charlotte gave Danielle a sad smile. “But I really have to go.”

Charlotte picked up herself from the bed and headed for the door.

“I’ll come again when I’m free okay?”

Danielle nodded.  Her face was sad.

“Don’t be. Smile.” Charlotte signaled a smile with her finger.

Danielle smiled.

“That’s like it.” Charlotte smiled. She went outside and waved at Danielle goodbye.

Danielle didn’t like it when charlotte leaved. She didn’t have anyone to talk to.

She went to the window and sat at the sofa next to it. She stared outside the window, watching the world passing by, knowing nothing about her and her condition, and not even remembering that she even existed. Since Barbie came, Danielle’s name was seldom talked about anymore. Just when they talk about how Barbie and Greyson met, Danielle was there to be the spice.

“Huh?” Danielle wondered.

A big black car just stopped in front of her house.

Who is it?

Danielle, bored of doing nothing, considered to give the stairs another chance. She wanted to know who was in the car. It seemed big and important.

Slowly, Danielle went out of the room and down the stairs.

The doorbell rang four or five times already.

“Coming! Coming!”  Mrs. Roberts cried. “Boy you sure aren’t impatient!”

Mrs. Roberts opened the door.

“Hi what can I do for yo-“she stopped.

“I need to meet Danielle. Please.”

It was Greyson. He was back from the tour already. And he came straight to Danielle’s house.

“No. you will never, I repeat never, see my daughter again.” Mrs.roberts said. “go.” She started to close the doors.

“No wait, please,” Greyson stuck his foot in so Mrs. Roberts couldn’t shut the door. “You don’t understand.”

“Oh I do understand. I do. Much more than you think.” She started to close the doors again, pushing Greyson's foot out.

Danielle was almost down the stairs already. She could hear her mother’s voice talking to someone. But her voice was low and threatening.

Who might it be?

Danielle walked to the door.

“Mom, who is it?” Danielle asked, pushing the doors open wider. She gasps.

Greyson gasp. Seeing Danielle.

“You-you’re pr- pr- pregnant?!”

Danielle was bewildered. And shocked.

“That’s enough.” Mrs. Roberts cried in disgust. She slammed the door.

Danielle cried, and buried her face in her mother’s shoulders.

Greyson, outside, was lost in words.

She pregnant?! She can’t be?! Is it my baby?!

Greyson sat down on the ground. His head felt dizzy.

No wonder she was so angry!

Greyson stood up. He really needs to meet Danielle and talk to her, especially now that she’s in a very sensitive situation.
