Fall Girl

Margot

I pulled over my car to the florist to pick up some flowers for Blake, then headed to his mansion. I always loved this place. The beautiful view of the city lights below.  

I pressed the doorbell, expecting Blake or his house help to answer, but When Thea opened the door, I was taken aback. She smiled and welcomed me. I was still standing outside "I am surprised to see you here."

Thea shook her head and chuckled. "So, are you planning to come inside or not?"

I entered. "Last night I spoke to your husband, and he didn't tell me anything about you."

Thea sighed. "You mean you talked to your brother."

I narrowed my eyes and asked. "Where is he by the way?"

Thea pointed at the garden. When I walked over to the garden Blake was setting the table and I swatted at his shoulder. "How could you forgot to tell me about Thea?"

Blake completely ignored what I asked and hugged me. "Hey, little sis."

I pushed him away. "Don't HEY LITTLE SIS me."

Thea was holding bread and eggs. Blake immediately rushed towards her and snatched the plates. "I told you to rest."

I squinted. "Guys, what is going on?"

Blake turned around and shook his head. "Nothing, why don't we start eating something. I am starving."

Blake handed me the mimosa and we both cheers. I asked Thea. "Yiu are not going to join us for drinks?"

Thea raised her OJ. "I am happy with this right now."

I squinted. "Mimosa is your favorite drink and OJ you hate."

Thea didn't answer me instead she looked at Blake. He cleared his throat. "We wanted to tell you something."

A strange fear coursed through my veins, and I put my drink on the table. "Please, please, don't tell you guys are parting ways."

Thea's eyes widened. "What are you saying?"

I raised my hands in the air and shook my head. "I don't want to be a part of this breakup brunch." 

Thea facepalmed. "You, goofball, we are not breaking up. We were just going through some rough patch."

Blake put his glass on the table. "First tell me where that came from?"

I stammered. "I....I don't know.... It just occurred to me when you said WE WANTED TO TELL."

Blake sighed. "You are a goofball. We wanted to tell you that you are going to be an auntie, Margot."

It took me a moment to process this unexpected news before turning to Thea in disbelief. "You let him knock you up during a rough patch?"

Blake swatted my shoulder. "Don't say that to her."

We all shared a moment of laughter, celebrating Thea and Blake's wonderful news, and I offered my heartfelt congratulations while everyone else cheered with excitement. When Blake asked me about South Shore, at first, I hesitate then I smiled "It was excellent."

Blake nodded and asked. "Last night you told me you have got some news."

I nodded but Blake added. "Is it about the office?"

I shook my head. "Actually, you have stolen my thunder because thy baby bomb is way too excited as compared to my news."

I looked at Thea and then at Blake. I took a deep breath. "I am seeing someone."
