The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 191~

Joanna's POV
The next day, we got the keys to our new house, and then we went to the mall. We bought furnitures, and other things for the house. We used the whole day to furnish the house, and then we picked up Dory at the hospital. She was alright. We showed her the house, and her reaction was huge. ''Where did you get the money for this?'', she asked. ''How are you even asking that? You'd been staying here for so long, you should have known that'', Alex laughed. Dory was heartbroken after the loss of her baby. But she quickly calmed and settled down. Things seemed to be going good. Kristina began being less dramatic, and Dory began getting over her baby's death. We thought that was really good. We began taking them out of the house a litte more every day, and soon we trusted them to go shopping together, as long as they had their snapchat map on all the time. One night, we made a nice dinner and played board games. It was nice to see both Dory and Kristina happy. They were behaving, and we didn't have be mad at them lately. Maybe things got to be like that for the rest of our lives?

Dory's POV
The day after we ate spare ribs and had a good time together, Joanna came to us and told us the most shocking news we could think of. None of us were prepared for that. ''I'm pregnant'', Joanna told us. She had already told Alex about it, but had waited to tell Kristina and I. ''What? You are?'', I asked. Kristina stood there in shock. She was speechless and didn't say a word. ''Yes'', Joanna smiled softly. ''Wait, I don't understand. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?'', I asked. ''I don't really know'', she explained. Kristina asked if they were gonna keep the baby or not. Alex stood there holding around Joanna's waist. They looked at each other and nodded. ''We decided to give it a chance, but we're gonna need all the support we'll get'', Alex told us. Joanna looked a little nervous, as if she thought she weren't gonna be a good mother. ''Mom, I promise you everything is gonna be fine. We're gonna help you. You're gonna be a good mother, I love you'', I said and hugged her.

Kristina's POV
Months went by. Joanna stomach started to grow, and finally the day came where Joanna was ready to know the gender of the baby. She went to the hospital, we all was waiting excited home. She was gone for hours, we got so bored. But she finally came home and told us everything. She brought home a big yellow helium balloon. She wanted Alex to burst the balloon. When he burst the balloon, a plenty of girl baby clothes came out, and a note that said ''it's a girl''. Dory and I got so happy for them. They were gonna become parents. And Dory was gonna have a sister. She had always wanted one. She even started to cry tears of joy. Already the next day, we all went baby shopping. Dory and I even bought secrets ingredients to a cake that we baked while Joanna and Alex were out eating together. It was a surprise for when they got home.

Months went by, and then finally the day way here. Joanna gave birth to her little baby daughter. It all happened so fast. In the middle of the night, Alex had to get her in the car and drive her to the hospital. Dory and I visited her the next day. Joanna had tears in her eyes and smiled softly when we came into the hospital room. ''Meet little Janice'', she said. Dory got tears in her eyes when she saw her mom so happy with the baby. ''Are you okay?'', Joanna asked her. Dory nodded and wiped her tears. ''Wanna hold her?'', Joanna asked. Dory got to hold her little sister, and I had never seen her more happy. And especially not Joanna. She had changed so much after she got pregnant. It was like Janice were her little hope. Hope of a change. Suddenly, Joanna looked a little upset. Like if she were reassessed to keep her baby. ''Mom, you got this. Don't do the same mistake as you did with me. Don't give her up for adoption, you're gonna be a great mother. You have to trust me'', Dory said with tears in her eyes. ''Just look at Kristina. She's broken because of me'', Joanna said. ''Joanna, that's because you kidnapped me and murdered my parents. This is your child'', I said. ''We are gonna help you'', I explained. Alex put his hand in Joanna's. ''It's going to be okay. Just give it a chance'', he said. Joanna nodded as if she had decided to raise the baby. We all got so happy that she chose to try instead of giving up. But deep inside, even I knew it could be a hard way ahead.
