jamia

chapter 23

jamia pov:

I awoke the next morning to someone knocking on the bedroom door.

I reached over to Matthew's side .

he wasn't in bed.

I know he came to bed last night because I smelled him as soon as he entered the room then I felt him climb into bed and pull me close.

I tell whoever is knocking on the door 1 minute.

I immediately get up and conjure a pair of jogging pants and a T-shirt.

I open the door and its Ava.

jamia :

hi Ava how are you.

Ava:

as well as to expected.

jamia :

come in.

Ava walked into the room and I closed the door and followed behind her.

we sat on the foot of the bed.

when I sat down I grabbed her hand and tears rushed to her eyes.

Jamia:

Ava. it will be alright. I know it hurts.

Ava continue to cry and I held her in my arms and rocked her until her crying subsided.

Ava:

thank you.

I couldn't do that around my mother.

she needs me to be strong for her.

jamia:

its okay

I'm here anytime you need me, sis.

then I hugged her tight.

I looked in her eyes was so sad I decided to tell her about the babies.

jamia:

Ava.

I have something to tell you.

she looked up at me with sorrowful eyes.

jamia:

look you can't tell anyone.

but

I'm pregnant.

she looked at me then she jumped up and scream.

Ava :

Oh my goodness I can't leave now.

I'm gonna be an aunt.

when?

jamia in 3 months.

but I need you to go with your mom so I won't worry about her.

you can get her settled and make sure she gets better and maybe you both can be back in time for the birth.

Ava:

Oh jamia this is wonderful news.

I can't believe I'm going to be an aunt.

Matthew came into the room.

and Ava ran up to him and hugged him.

Matthew:

I guess you told her.

jamia :

yes

I wanted her to know I was going to need her and your mother when the babies come.
