Sparks Fly [Completed]

35. A second chance

Munchkin kept kicking and I smiled. Seth's mother didn't... she started crying! I was kind of shocked. "Is everything okay?" I asked her in a whisper. Was it because she didn't want Seth to have children yet?
She blinked a few times like she had to wake up from a day dream and pulled her hand away. "No Emily, I am alright. It's just a little difficult for me sometimes" I frowned a little. What did she mean. I didn't have to ask her because she told me soon after.

"After Seth I couldn't have any more children. Something went wrong and they had to remove everything." She explained. One more tear rolled over her cheek. "My dad said it was my own doing... because I got pregnant at sixteen. It was god who was punishing me. I knew it was just bad luck." She gave me a sad smile.
"I am so sorry" I whispered. I didn't know anything better to say. I had to be so horrible for her to see me pregnant and all.
"It's alright. I have known for a long time. I promised I would do good by Seth and he turned out to be a good man. And even though I wanted to wait a little with being a grandma... I really don't mind. It's a little bit of a second chance"
I nodded slowly. I felt so bad for her.
"Was it hard?" I asked her carefully. "Being a mom at such a young age?"
She just shrugged "It wasn't easy... I mean being a mom in general has it's ups and downs. It was hard doing it alone without my family. They kicked me out. My boyfriend... Let's say he disappeared soon after. I lived in a home for girls in my situation"

"I still have some friends from that home" Seth came back with a tray with two cups of tea and a cup of coffee. Something I wasn't allowed to drink anymore according to Seth. He had turned into some health freak... he was even cooking. To be honest... it wasn't great when he cooked. Luckily Taylor had done some cooking too.
"Yeah... of course" His mom smiled quickly whipping her tears away. Seth sat down on the coffee table and looked at me. "You will meet them because I told them I am going to be a dad... they said they didn't believe me so I might invite them" He grinned "If you are up for it of course!" He assured me making me sigh.
"I am not made of glass Seth" I told him.
His mother chuckled. "No you are not but you do have to take it easy" She said. I dropped my shoulders. I knew they were right. I just wanted to be better... Of course I was blaming myself as usual.

"So mom... what do you want for diner tonight?" Seth asked handing me my tea. "Let's get take out... Please" I begged him right away. "I am dying for pizza"
Seth's mother laughed. "Pizza sounds great she said and started laughing even harder seeing Seth's disapproving look.
"That's not healthy Em, you need to think of Munchkin" He told me.
I rolled my eyes "Munchkin want's pizza too you know" I told him nodding looking pretty serious. "Here... feel. Munchkin, tell him" I said pulling his hand to my stomach.
Munchkin kicked him making me laugh. I adored the look on Seth's face every time he felt our little baby kick. Just like when he talked to it. It was heaven to look at him.
His mother looked at him in awe too. "So cute" She mumbled and gave me a wink.

"Okay... Pizza it is! But tomorrow I will cook!" He got up and kissed me. "I will call them, Hawaii right?" He asked me and I nodded. "Please yes!"
"Same for me" His mom said and laughed when he walked to make a call.
"I never thought my son could go all mushy like that" She grinned.
"You should see him talking to it" I said with a bright smile. "Usually when he think's I am asleep. It's the best thing ever"
"I heard you do it too" She tilted her head a little and got a little more serious. "When you think he is asleep"
I bit my lip and shrugged a little. My conversations with our munchkin were probably not as cute as Seth's were. Now I knew he actually heard them.

"You know it's good that you let it out. It would be even better if you talk about it with him or your friends" She said taking my hand. Again I shrugged. I tended to do this a lot when conversation's got a little to close for my liking.
"I can understand it's hard. But maybe... when you are ready you can talk to me. I promise I won't tell anything to mister mushy" She gestured to the kitchen where I knew Seth was making me a bowl of fruit now.
I nodded a little. I knew it would be good but I hated talking to people about everything that had happened.
She smiled "For now see me as somebody here to keep you company when he is at work" Seth came back indeed with fruit.
"You have to eat something healthy!" He told me making his mom laugh.
"He has gone crazy" She whispered to me.
