Eunomia

Chapter 40 "On speaker"

~Bryony~

I arrived home late, I had slept in Sebastian's car what made us miss all the car washing thing, we were more than fine with it but Olive complained when she saw us appearing when they were already tiding up for leaving. The last thing I wanted back then was hearing Olive's lecture so I just nodded for making it end as fast as possible.

I got surprised to see my father resting on the sofa, he usually worked that much that he didn't have time for the small things, like reading a book in the sofa of his house like right now. He left the book on the table when he saw me for giving me a kiss on the forehead and telling me they saved me food in case I was hungry. I lied saying I had had dinner and finally go upstairs. I would probably take a midnight 'snack' later.

"Bryon." Cameron startled me when I entered my room. He and Noa were again sat on my bed.

"I didn't know my room became the trendy meeting place." I joked to hide the scare they had given me.

"Just because Noa and I don't want to unmake our beds." Cameron affirmed and Noa giggled. Of course they had to clarify it, just in case I thought they actually wanted to come see me.

I made my way to my dresser to turn the chair around and sit facing my brothers. I knew what was this about and I was still tired and wanted it to end as soon as possible.

"And well? Talk." I looked at Cameron because he used to be the one who took control of the situation, he sure had something to say.

"I think dad should know it..." Cameron started to offer solutions. Well, not solutions, the mess was already done, he just offered ways to start facing the situation.

We both looked Noa who stayed neutral, looking down while she played with a scrunchie. Like she didn't talk I decided to do it.

"Maybe Noa should visit a doctor for making sure the baby is okay..."

Or for making sure there's baby, I wanted add.

"She will, but I think we should tell dad first." Cameron stood firm.

I didn't know in which moment did we get to this, Cameron and I started to argue about what we thought was best for Noa while she didn't say a word. I have to admit I raised my voice more than I should, but all this baby mess... I was annoyed at the fact that I had to be taking care of problems of a family I didn't want to belong to anymore rather than the ones of the family I planned to join at full time as soon as I get my unresolved issues settled. I shouldn't be arguing about babies in a town on the outskirts of California, I should be arguing about vampire princes in an apartment in Miami.

"I want to tell Eros first." Noa talking for first time since I entered the room made Cameron and I stop our argument for looking at her. She was still with the scrunchie in her hands. "First I want to talk with him, then I want that doctor appointment, and after that we will talk with dad." She decided with a firm and stern voice tone that showed that her decision was not subject to change.

"Noa, don't you think we should talk with dad before that appointment?" Cameron questioned.

"No," Noa answered looking at us. "I would like Eros to come with me..." She whispered looking down again.

Cameron and I looked at each other, understanding we will make what Noa wanted. Cameron walked towards Noa until he sat next to her and I did the same, the tree of us were sat on the edge of my bed with Noa in the middle.
