High School Sweethearts

Hospital Visit

Steve

After dropping Natasha home, I took a shower and jumped right into the small gym my dad had made for himself. We always worked out together every single day, he always pushed me harder and harder every day. Today was amazing, I finally spent time with Natasha after the whole week of not seeing her, I finally calmed down.

Dad patted my back in his way of saying good job for increasing my weight but it also meant nice try for trying to reach his weight. Dad was strong, tall, had a nice build but not a gigantic build. He says ladies don't like it when you go overboard with the muscles. My mom looked like a child next to dad. She was short, petite, with waist-long blonde hair, and by short..shes 5 foot and my dad's 6'7.

"How was your day, honey?" Mom kissed my cheek after I returned from another shower.

"Good, I finally got to see Natasha. We've both been busy all week, we didn't have time to see each other." I explained.

"Most couples usually break up because they never get to see each other and you two are pulling through. Keep it up." Dad opens a up a beer and hands another to mom.

"When I say enjoy it, I mean enjoy that she's still in the same country." Sarah said, filling up a glass of wine.

"Sorry about William." I sidehugged her. William took an overseas job that he forgot he had applied for and my sister basically made him take it.

"I can't be mean to you if you're being nice right now. What happened?" Sarah asked, sliding off the stool chair. "Oh, you saw Nat. Now, I know why you're nice."

"No, don't even think-actually never mind. You always think that way." I said following her to the living room where Makena and Marc were sitting with Liv. I assume Nora and Emma fell asleep already.

"So, how's school been to you guys?" I asked the three.

"A bitch." Sarah and Makena said in unison.

"I'm sure it'll get better." Dad said.

"The only time it gets better are the parties." Makena groaned.

"Don't go to those." Mom said sternly, staring at my older siblings.

"We don't. It got boring." Sarah shrugged.

We continued playing cards while dad watched the game, Marc and I trying to watch and play at the same time as Sarah, Makena and Liv shout at us for hours. During the halftime, I got a call from Tatiana. Marc's ex girlfriend, whom he really fell for, he was so in love and when it ended, he was someone I've never seen before.

"Hey." I answered.

"Uhm, your brother won't take any of my calls." She said shyly.

"Do you want me to hand it to him? He's right here." I said and Marc's eyes found me, along with everyone's.

"No, no, well.. I just, uhm, just tell him to come to the hospital. Room 204." She says.

"Oh, I'm sorry. What happ-I'm sorry, I shouldn't be prying." I say as Marc mouths to me Who is that?

"Well, Marc's going to be really pissed at me. Uhm. I just had a baby." She says.

"Congratulations." I responded. "But why would..oh."

"Yeah, I know this is a horrible way to tell him and all of you. He is the father and I thought I didn't want him but your brother's a really amazing guy. I don't want this baby missing out on someone so special." She explained.

"Room 204?"

"Yeah."

"He'll be on his way."

"If your parents would like to come, I would love it if they did."
