"WHY do you have that look on your face?" gina saw vivienne approaching her from the corner of her eyes. willow was on stage currently for the second night at tokyo dome and vivienne had assigned the behind the scenes duty to bethany while she 'had a break'.

"gina," vivienne held a particularly innocent smile she had only given on certain occasions when she needed something. gina didn't like where this was going.

"would you be able to buy a plane ticket from melbourne to tokyo, please?"

"why..?"

vivienne's expression deadpanned and she acted as if she had just been through 12 hours of interrogation to get the answer out of her, "because i wanted nicole to come out and meet willow and see oscar but i do not have that kind of responsibility to a) buy the correct ticket or b) get it to her properly so she can actually use it"

gina sat quiet, then pulled out her laptop, "who is nicole exactly? and why does she need to meet willow and see oscar?"

"oh! nicole is oscar's mom"

"ahhh, that explains it" gina, now realizing the bigger reason why vivienne wanted to fly nicole out to tokyo for the race, "you should invite her to the show tomorrow night, im sure she'd love it - especially since oscar was going to come and willow will already be there"

vivienne nodded, pulling out her phone and quickly sending gina nicole's contact before leaving to find bethany.

"mrs. blake, i'm pleased to inform you that there will be another mother joining you soon"

bethany was not only spooked by the girl's sudden voice but also her words. she held her chest, "you're pregnant?!???"

watching as the woman's eyes grew in concern (considering vivienne is single), she reiterated her words, "no, no, oh god no! what i mean is that oscar's mother is coming out from australia tomorrow so i'll introduce you to her!"

bethany sighed in relief, for that small initial moment thinking she was going to have to hunt down an unknown father.

"oh thank god - not that being pregnant is a bad thing! i would love to be a grandmother more than anything, we all know daph isn't giving me grandchildren anytime soon" she rolled her eyes in a joking manner when speaking of her youngest child, who was only 19 and planned on following in her sister's educational footsteps.

daphne serena blake; willow's little sister. the two of them grew up side by side practically as twins. however, neither willow or their mother get much time to talk with her as she's either studying or working all the time just as willow did when she was her age.

"how is daph, by the way?"

"she's doing good. last time we talked she told me that once her exams for this term were over she was going to come on the tour for a bit before having to go back to school!" bethany was always happy talking about her kids. she had 3, the eldest back at home with his wife, living the 'american dream' as some may say.

bethany wishes for the day where she could have all of her family back in the same house again, even if for one day, where they didn't have to worry about work or school or anything stressful in life. just be together, and be happy.

and maybe a little part of her hoped there would be a new member of the family joining soon. maybe even, two families making one.
