That summer

Chapter 18: The telling

As much as Fabian was soothing her. Nothing appeared to help.

"What am I going to tell gran?!" Nina asked, her voice muffled by the soft cotton of Fabians shirt.

Fabian was irresponsive. He had no idea. "Nina, I'm sure she will understand." Fabian assured her.

"No, Fabian she told me after you got here she didn't want us sleeping together to prevent something like this from happening. I disobeyed her. I..I don't know how she'll take this" Nina said looking at Fabian now.

"Look Nina,whatever happens know that I will always be there for you" Fabian said wiping the oncoming tears from her red puffy eyes.

"No one but gran must know. Maybe your parents but that's entirely your choice. I can't risk people spreading it everywhere" Nina said.

Fabian smiled down at her and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" He asked trying to slightly change the subject.

"A few times" Nina said smiling.

Fabian leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"C'mon lets get some food in you" he said.

"Alright" Nina said.

Fabian helped her up and she helped make breakfast.

~At the hospital~

Nina took Fabians hand.

"You nervous?" Fabian asked her.

Nina looked at him and her eyes looked as if she was about to cry.

"Yes" she simply said.

Fabian hugged her and they walked to grans room hand in hand.

"Hi gran" Nina said.

"Nina, Fabian. Hi I have some news good and bad for you" gran said.

"We do too" Fabian said.

"Take a seat" she said.

Fabian and Nina pulled two chairs together and sat in them. There was silence.

"Anyone want to go first?" Gran asked.

"You can" Nina said.

Fabian looked at her concerned but she only nodded and made her gaze over to gran.

"Good news or bad news first?" Gran asked.

"Good" Nina and Fabian both said in sync.

"I'm being released tomorrow" she said.

"Oh gran that's awesome!" Nina exclaimed.

"But-"

"There's always a but" Nina said holding her head up with her hand.

"The bad news is that they want me in a nursing home" she said.

"Oh gran" Nina said sympathetically.

" it won't be that bad. I hope" she finished. "And you guys?"

Fabian and Nina looked at each other.
They both stood up and Nina's hands started shaking.

"Gran, I have something to tell you and I want you to know that I love you. This..er-came as a surprise really. I-I'm pregnant" she said slowly.

Gran stared at her blankly.

"I see." She finally said.

Nina at this point was scarred. Usually when she started something with "I see" it usually doesn't end well.

"Well I'm a little disappointed in you but at least your in fine hands" she said looking at Fabian.

Nina smiled knowing that she accepts her still.

"Could you guys help pack up some of my things tomorrow before I head to the home?" She asked.

"Sure" Fabian said.

"I'll do my best" Nina replied.

"Just don't have greasy foods and don't life heavy objects and you should be fine. " gran said.

Nina bent down and hugged her.

"Thank you" she said.

"Anything. Your still my favorite" gran replied.

Nina smiled at this.

"Thank you" she replied.

Fabian smiled at both of them.

"And Fabian. "

"Yes?" He asked curious.

"You'll always be a grandson to Me" gran said.

Fabian smiled.

"Thank you!" He said.

"C'mon Fabian" Nina said. They both hugged gran tightly.
