On Call = italic
My phone started ringing. Me and Lui were cuddling on our bed. It feels good to be on paternity leave. No work and get to spend more time with the love of my life who's pregnant? With MY child? Hell yeah. Anyway I picked up the phone and it had no contact name. I pressed the decline button but they called again. I picked up -cuz it has to be someone a I know-.
Gabe! How dare you not pick up the phone for your aunt!
Oh... hi auntie
I took the phone off my ear and sat up at the edge of the bed and put my head in my hands. Why god? Why do you send her to test me? Out of all people? And you only know what she's going say about Lui or do to him. I sucked it up and put the phone up to my ear again cuz I heard her calling me. Lui saw I looked stressed and sat behind me hugging me. He's so cute.
What? I'm here
Why do you seem so sad to talk to me? I wanted to ask if you and Lui were coming over for thanksgiving
No we will not be, I'm going to spend thanksgiving at my parents house
Oh why not? I want to see the pretty Lu-
And have you try and harm him? Or put him under stress? Or make him feel guilty? You're funny
Harm him?! You're the funny one Gabe-
We are not going end of discussion-
Tell me... is the baby well?
Bye
I said before hanging out the phone. I put my head in both my hands.
"Come lay down baby and tell me about it" Lui said.
"It's about my aunt-"
I just told him everything that happened.
"I know you said your aunt is bad but how or why?"
"Because that woman attempt to harm me and my mom... I can't, I can't have her hurting you Lui, she's not even getting a chance, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I did" I said slightly shaking my head and my eyes tearing up.
Lui didn't say anything but just hugged me. We would share a few kisses once in a while. Then I heard my phone ring again. It was my mom.
Mom! You wouldn't believe-
I heard from her you don't have to say but we have to go visit her at least
But-!
No but's if we don't she'll bother us till the end of time
Let her bother us I don't care! As long as it means keeping Lui safe
Gabe!
What has gotten into you?! Did you forget what she did?!
Of course not!-
Then me and Lui are not going
I hung up on her, she's out of her god damn mind.
- thanksgiving day -
Me and Lui got ready to go to my parent's house. Once we were fully dressed we got into the car. I placed my hand on his thigh and we drove over there. We parked the car in the driveway, got out, and knocked on the door. They opened it and greeted us. We walked into the living room and I was shocked. It was her.
"What are you doing here?!" I said getting in front of Lui.
"What? Your mother invited me for thanksgiving, and is this lui?" She said while getting up.
"Mom!"
"Gabe?! What?!"
"Why is she here?!"
"Oh I invited her" she said.
"Yeah but WHY?!"
Lui held onto my arm and told me to calm down. My mom came up to me.
"Gabe if she starts anything I promise I'll deal with her but for now let's just have a good thanksgiving dinner, ok?" She said while cupping my face.
"... Ok" I said and she kissed my forehead.
I sat down on the couch and lui was sitting on my lap. I wanted him to be close to me. He was sitting to the side so he can still see and talk to me. I held him close.
"Gabe, I'm not a porcelain doll, I know it's because of her but you're more overprotective because I'm pregnant" he whispered to me while blushing.
"I-I'm sorry I just can't-"
"Lui?" She said.
"Huh?" He replied with.
"Don't huh me say yes, child!"
"I'm not a child but ok um what did you want?"
"You look big, you know when I was pregnant with my son I didn't even look pregnant"
"Where's your son know?"
"He stayed-"
"Home? I bet, he doesn't want to be seem with you because he knew you'd embarrass him" he said has I tried to hold in my laugh.
"Oh you-"
"Guys the dinners ready!" My mom yelled.
"Coming mom!"
Lui got off me and we went to the dining room together. He sat next to me. We all held hands, sadly Lui had to hold hands with that woman. We all prayed then we went in and said what we are grateful for.
"I'm grateful for my family all of you" my mom said.
"Yeah same here and I thank god we have stable good jobs and we have so much more then we can ask for and our sons" my dad said.
"I'm grateful for my parents and my husband Lui and our child" I said.
"I'm-" My aunt began.
"Ok! Let's eat!" I said.
I saw my aunt looking at Lui's plate.
"Lui um you should you need to eat that much? I know you're eating for two but it's just that not three or four"
"Gabriella come get her before I rip out her vocal cords"
"Yup on it Lui"
My mom kicked her out. Then we had a nice family dinner. That was also the last time we heard and saw my aunt.
Happy thanksgiving y'all!
