The End, Not Quite||An Anna and the French Kiss Story

Chapter 7|| Back To Home pt. 2

*hello, author's note: so I've decided that I'm going to add a plot twist thing and to do so it needs to be near the summer when everyone is on break and I know I said it was like clodish weather but I'm going to turn it into the summer because it just works better if everyone is on break... so can we just pretend the school year is basically over? Thank you! :) :) :)

I look at Etienne's phone, very confused. What does Josh so desperately need to tell us?
"Call him back!" I say, "It must be really important!" Etienne gives me a look and the nods. He calls Josh who seems to answer almost immediately, I try to listen to their conversation but I can't hear anything from Josh's side and Etienne is just saying "uh huh. Uh huh." Over and over again. His face keeps getting paler and paler. Finally he's says,
"You'll be fine, mate. You really will, I believe in you. Ok... ya. Bye." And then hangs up. I look at him,
"What was that about?" I ask,
"Isla's pregnant." He croaks.
***
After a while I gather this information: Isla got pregnant in Barcelona and both Isla and Josh are really scared and sad and they don't know what to do and Josh is terrified what would happen if the press found out... etc. I immediately realize that they need to come and live with us. Etienne and I had already decided that we were going to buy a crappy little apartment together and we would be able to house them for a while. They would be coming up for the wedding anyway. It was perfect, they couldn't just hide and lie through the summer and never speak to their parents again. They also couldn't try and do this on their own. They needed our help. Etienne told me that Josh had started crying, something that he had never seen him do. I grip Etienne's arm and say, 

"You know we have to let them come and stay with us, right? When we get the apartment we'll invite them to come and stay with us for a while, they'll be coming up for the wedding later anyway, right? And they're buying a place in Vermont as soon as they can right? So they can do whatever they please, right?" I'm completely flustered, I can't imagine being in their situation... I then realize that they probably can't afford to come to San Francisco and ugh! I can't let them stow away in their apartment trying to be brave all on their own... then Etienne smiles at me and says,

"Anna. You're right. It didn't even cross my mind," he kissed my head and then says. "I'm sure that they'll be able to figure out the fare and all that. Don't fret." He takes my hand and kisses it then leans back in his chair, "Now. Let's see what movies they've got on here." He says, still holding my hand. I smile happily to myself and lean into his shoulder.
