When We're Older

Small things; Chapter 49

"Oh, look, how cute Elise is all walking around like that," Mabel said to Pacifica

"Yeah, she's definitely grown," Pacifica said back

It was the 19th of July, and Mabel went over to Pacifica's house to plan a surprise birthday party of Sage

"...anyways Sage's birthday is tomorrow and I still don't know what to do?"

"Mabel, don't you two have a wedding to plan?" Pacifica asked Mabel whilst picking up Elise

"Yeah, we've put that aside for a bit just to focus on other things..." Mabel said with a slight concerned look on her face

"What 'other things' ?" Pacifica asked Mabel

"Well... you know how Elise and Emery were surprises to you?" Mabel said

"YOURE PREGNANT- wait that wouldn't work..."

"Nope, I'm not pregnant, but Cassandra is," Mabel said with a slight worried look on her face

"Aww, who's Cassandra?"

"Sage's cousin," Mabel murmured out

"Sage's cousin...ok, and why is that an issue you look a bit concerned?" Pacifica asked Mabel

Mabel took in a deep breath and sighed

"Well, Sage is pretty concerned about her,"

"Why?" Pacifica asked

"...Cassandra's had some health issues so she's happy she can have a baby now, but u think Sage is still worried ever since last time and I don't want Sage to still be worried like this on our wedding day let alone her birthday tommorow" Mabel let out

"...mind if I asked what happened last time?" Pacifica asked

"Well, Sage kinda told me...."

FLASHBACK TO 3 YEARS AGO

"Sage, it's the 24th of December..so technically not Christmas yet, what do you want to ask me?" Sage's Mom asked whilst turning around to Sage holding baby onesie

"Do you have any wrapping paper?" Sage asked her Mom

"You're 20 years old, Sage, just go to buy some at the store." Her Mom said back

"I'll just hand it to Cassandra tomorrow then," Sage said. Then, she walked back to her room

"Might aswell call Cassandra," Sage said to herself

'Hello?' Cassandra answered

'Hi Cassy,' Sage said

'Oh hi Sage, how's it going?'

'it's fine. Hey, I have your Christmas gift, but you wouldn't mind if I just gave it to you without the wrapping paper?' Sage asked

'Uh, no problem, as long as it's not too big'

'it...it's average sized?' Sage said

'Oh amaz- AAH,' Cassandra yelled out

'You good?'

'Yep, just...contractions- oh, I think the baby's ready to come out now'

'WAIT, YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH!?' Sage yelled on the phone

'I think so,' Cassandra slowly said on the phone

Cassandra's then eneded the phone call, and Sage stood up from her bed and started to run around in joy

"AHH, A CHRISTMAS BABY!" Sage yelled with happiness

~CHRISTMAS MORNING~

"Sage, no, it's 4am," Sage's Mom said from her bed as Sage walked into her parents' room
