The Un-tragic Story of Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 8

Juliet

"What is that noise?" I asked Romeo. "I don't know. Who could be here this late at night?" We got up, to find my parents in the foyer waiting for us. Romeo opened the door and to our surprise, we saw two more uninvited guests at the door. My Nurse and Friar Lawrence. "Nurse, are you truly here? I haven't seen you in such a long time!" I gave her the biggest embrace. "Yes, my lady, I am here. It's been so long and I needed to see you. I would have been here sooner but with your parents out of the house, I had to make sure everything was done before I left." "Oh gracious nurse, you can't imagine how happy I am to see you right now. But I must ask, where will you be staying?" Just then we heard my mother speak to Romeo and Friar. She told the guests to stay in the extra bedroom while they went to the inn. "I guess you are staying here and not in the inn. I am s happy you are here!" I hugged her once more. Soon, my mother came over and talked to the Nurse while I got some drinks. "Oh and did you hear? Juliet is having a child!" heard my mother exclaim. As I walked in the foyer, friar and nurse came up to me, hugged me, congratulated me, and repeated with Romeo. I was overwhelmed. After this I knew my mother was going to be spreading the news around Verona, that is, if she hasn't written a letter to the Prince himself already. I was tired and nauseous from the long day of visits. I walked over to everyone and told them all goodnight, then went to Romeo, kissed him on the cheek, told him how much I loved him, and went to bed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Friar as I gave him a hug. "I had to see how you were doing out here in Mantua. I didn't realize your in-laws were in town also. I can come back tomorrow. There is an inn up the road I can stay in." "Of course not!" Lady Capulet exclaimed. "You and Nurse will stay here and Lord Capulet and I will go stay in the inn with the Montagues. And we insist." With these words, Friar went over to thank my mother and father. I looked over at Juliet and saw her face beaming with joy. I then saw her get up, kiss her parents goodnight, and do the same with the nurse and friar. She then walked over to me, kissed my cheek, and said, "I love you Romeo. Goodnight." She walked to our room and closed the door so she wouldn't hear all of the commotion. After everyone figured out the sleeping arrangements, we all went to bed. Nurse was going to have the bed in the second room, Friar Lawrence would take the sofa in the foyer, and the Capulet's would go to the inn with my parents. I kissed Juliet, who was asleep already, and I too went to sleep with a smile on my face because I was so grateful for these wonderful people in my life, my parents, friar, and of course my love, Juliet. At that moment everything was right with the world.
