In The Garden

Chapter 21

"Why can't we tell anyone?" asked George.

"I'm not sure you understand the meaning of a surprise," said Georgette. "My parents don't even know I'm in town. They think only you've come back for spring break. Our little surprise needs to stay just us. Well just us and Zelda I did tell her."

"What that's not fair," said George, " I should get to tell someone."

"Alright, one person and it can't be either of my parents," said Georgette.

"Emily I'll tell Emily," said George.

"Can she keep a secret George?" asked Georgette.

"Yeah she'd take a secret to the grave," told George.

"Ok now go," said Georgette smiling. "I've got things to do."

"What if people see you?" asked George.

"I'll be careful," said Georgette.

Georgette's things to do were her parents. She went home to see them. She found her way to Aston Manor and knocked on the door. Lucky for her Zelda answered the door.

"What are you doing here?" asked Zelda. " I thought you weren't telling anyone yet."

"We're not but I need to talk to mom and dad," said Georgette.

"But if you go in to see them they'll know," said Zelda.

"I know," said Georgette, "but they won't tell anyone. Just make sure no one sees me."

"Alright," said Zelda.

She walked up the stairs to their room no one had resided in the master bedroom since Diana's untimely death. She knocked on the door.

"Enter," came the voice of her mother Morgana. "Georgette," she said as she entered the room. "We thought you weren't able to come home this trip."

"I know mother," she said.

"Lugh get in her our daughter is home," said Morgana.

"Which one?" asked Lugh.

"Georgette," said Morgana.

"Oh my little goddess," said Lugh. "And she's not alone I see."

"What do you mean Lugh?" asked Morgana.

Look closer dear," said Lugh.

Morgana looked intently at her daughter and then stood up with a squeal of joy. "A baby," she cooed.

"Yes, mother a baby," replied Georgette.

"And what is it?" asked Morgana excitedly. "Do they know yet?"
