Haunted Family, Lost Hope

Its Friday

Well it's the Fourth of July that I started writing this chapter, sry it's been a while. I wasn't sure if I should make her pregnant or have her baby during her sweet sixteen party. Ill try to write this as fast as possible, even though I don't have a lot of readers, but hey, that's how famous authors start. Not that I'm gonna be one, but oh we'll. too much talking, enjoy this chapter.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

It was Thursday, August 21. It started out as a normal day, waking up, feeding the girls, they seem to get more beautiful each day. They would talk to their niece or nephew while they ate, and I would take Theresa to her summer camp and stay at home with Felicity. She had recently turned 1, and is a very advanced child. She can talk, not much, and has started to walk.

I was due in a few weeks as I found out, yet I seemed like I was going to pop any day now. Gabe decided to take a leave off of work to enjoy spending time with us girls before he had to spend a lot of time on the baby.

We both knew that we would be spending our focus and energy on the baby once he or she got here, so we're enjoying the last few weeks before being real parents, even thought we kinda already are because of my sisters.

He watched while hiding a smirk lovingly as I attempted to bend over to pick Felicity up off her high chair, and hold her to my side around my bulging belly.

I smiled at him and he walked over and told me to put her in her play pen and he'll clean up from our breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes with fruits on the side.

I walked into the living room and placed Felicity down in her play pen. I waddled over to the couch and flopped down, grabbing the TV remote and started watching the boring news.

The phone rang, and I picked it up off the coffee table in front of the couch and sat up slowly.

"Hello?" I spoke into the phone. I didn't know whose number this is.

"Is this Kristina Winchester?" I was confused, that wasn't my last name, but I like the sound of it, so I followed along. "Yes, this is she." There was silence.

The deep voice continued. "We have found a will for Paul in his bedroom. As his step daughter and legal guardian of Felicity, he leaves half of his money to Felicity, 25% to Theresa, and the rest for you."

I remembered his deal withy he demon and wondered how much money. "How much money did he have and where was it?"

Pause.

"There was about 40 billion in there. He wrote this and said that a few days before your 16th birthday is when you'd get it as a birthday present. He said 'I know I won't be with you in person, but I will in spirit.

You are a beautiful young lady, Kristina, and I wish we had a better relationship. Perhaps I could've been at home helping you study instead of at the library when you were brutally raped. Love, Paul.'"

I shed a tear, then wiped it away as he was the reason Mother was no longer with us. But I couldn't believe it. 40 BILLION DOLLARS.

20 billion would be saved away for Felicity, 10 billion for Theresa, and the last 10 billion would be put towards a larger house for Gabe and I, our dream house where we could raise a family. If he doesn't break up with me.

I jumped up and down, well as best I could while bracing my belly. I stopped. "Wait, where am I supposed to get it?" He told me to come down to the police station to get it.

I thanked him, and hung up. 10 BILLION DOLLARS. I wish that would bring Mother back, but what was done is done.

My sweet, innocent mother would never get a to help me light the first candle during my sweet sixteen party, she will never get to experience my baby wrapping his or her fist around her pinky, she will never get to watch me walk down the wedding aisle or help me name the children I have in the future.

I walked into the kitchen where Gabe had just finished cleaning. I stopped and leaned against the wall in the doorway and smiled a wide, toothy grin.

"So I got a call saying that they found Paul's will in their room. He left us a little bit of money. 50% to Felicity, 25% to Theresa and the other 25% to us. You know how much it is?"

I didn't wait for him I guess. "We earned ourselves 10 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!" He smiled widely and we walked quickly to each other.

He placed his hands around my waist, careful of my bulging stomach, and we hugged as he lifted me and spun me around in a circle, ending with a kiss as he places me down gently.

I'm glad the ceiling is higher in the kitchen, he's 6 ft 2. It was about 12, and I would be bringing Theresa home for an hour for lunch. I kissed Gabe, wanting more, but I knew I had to go get Theresa.

I grabbed my keys and wallet and kissed him before walking out the door. I has asked him to watch Felicity, and I went to go get Theresa at the camp which was about 5 minutes away.

I spoke to the counselor, she was very nice and thought I was small and a young adult, not a teen, so she asked when Theresa's brother or sister was due. I told her that I was Theresa's sister and our parents had passed away recently.

She apologized, and I smiled and changed the subject. I told her I was due in a few weeks. She asked if she could feel and I let her.

I could feel my baby react to her touch. My baby adjusted him or herself and kicked, obviously showing off. She smiled. "Wow, the baby must be a futbol player."

I smiled, remembering the days of when I had no worries and could let go of my issues with a soccer ball and a net. Being pregnant has made it harder, but I will be practicing whenever I can after I give birth.

I said goodbye and lead Theresa to the car. She talked the whole ride, telling me how her day went. She makes me smile the way she talks with a little lisp because she lost one of her front teeth.

We hopped out of the car when we got home and we walked into the kitchen for lunch. She dropped her bag next to her chair and requested a peanut butter and banana sandwich, imitating Elvis.

I laughed and brought out the Peanut butter jar and picked a banana from the bunch. While cutting up the banana, I dropped the knife.

I heard Gabe playing with Felicity, so I struggled to bend over and pick it up myself. I felt a splash at my feet. Crap. My water just broke. The baby was coming early.

I yelled to Gabe, telling him to get Felicity and Theresa together, the baby was coming. I walked to the couch and grabbed my sneakers.

I couldn't bend over to put them on so I reached my leg back and put it on behind me. I started pacing by the door when I was greeted by an extreme pain in my lower waist.

I just had a contraction. It was bad and I couldn't imagine what giving birth would be like, but then again, my mother had gone through it 3 times, and almost 4.

I wish she was here. I miss her so much. Theresa walked in with Gabe rushin behind her, holding Felicity's to go bag for this time. He had Felicity clinging to his waist, he looked so cute holding a child, I know he's going to be a great father with our child.

I waddled out the door with Gabe's hand guiding me with his free hand at the small in my back. I got in the front right seat, and Gabe went and strapped in Felicity.

We drove as fast as we could to the hospital and walked into the maternity ward, where I saw soon to be mothers in agony being pushed in a wheelchair to give birth. I hope mine isn't painful....

After about 2 more contractions with 6 minutes in between, I was called in and a wheelchair was brought to me. I took a deep breath. Let's go have a baby.
