Love Will Remember

Chapter 6: Thanksgiving

The days continue to just pass by so fast. Its Thanksgiving my parents invited James and his family to come over for a "Thanksgiving feast" as my dad likes to put it. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to wear I have many things to wear but not sure what for this occasion, and especially with James's parents coming over. I decide do my hair in thight curls I'm wearing a black long sleeve shirt, some blue skinny jeans, my brown ugg boots, some hoop earrings, and some bangles. After I'm done getting ready I walk down stairs and see my mother making some potato salad.

"Hey mom do you need any help?" I ask. "Oh yes dear would you start on the stuffing for me please?" She asks me. I walk over to the counter close to the stove, but then suddenly a weird smell hits me and it was like horrible.

I tried to keep it together and make the stuffing I'm like half way done when I feel sort of nauseous I stop and ask my mom if she could finish because I need to use the bathroom. I then go to the bathroom lock the door and I then started to throw up. I don't know what's wrong but I feel sick.

I'm walking back down stairs and I start helping set the table. I don't exactly know what it is but I think it might be the turkey that is making me sick. The smell is just unbearable. Which is weird because I love the smell of turkey, I want to tell my mother something but I don't want her to worry about me. So I go set the plates and start putting some of the dishes on the table. As I'm doing so there is a knock at the door.

" Is that them already? " I say towards my mom.

" Honestly I'm not sure, but it possibly could be your father he went to get some pumpkin pie, whip cream and some ice cream." My mother says as I walk to the door.

"Oh hey dad you scared me for a second I thought you were James and his family. " I say.

"Oh I'm sorry dear I'm kinda glad they're not here yet because I just brought dessert and I need to go change real quick."

"Oh well give me that and you go change." I say as I take the bags.

"Ok thank you dear."

I set the stuff down in the kitchen and I help my mother put the food dishes on the table. I grab the turkey and I'm greeted by an awful smell that makes me what to gag. I then place it in the middle of the table. I go back in to the kitchen and work on my moms traditional chocolate mousse. My moms chocolate mousse is like the best thing we've have every holiday. I like helping my mom make it its like our own little mother daughter bond. As we're done with most of the chocolate mousses I hear a knock at the door.

I open the door and I'm greeted by three big smiles. James's parents and James.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Alexander I'm so glad you guys could make it."

"Hello my beautiful little daughter in law and thank you for inviting us." Mrs. Alexander says as she hugs me.

"Hello Tori you look beautiful." Mr. Alexander says as he greets me and I thank him.

"You guys could take a seat in the dinning room my mother in just finishing up the meal." I say to James's parents as I point them to where the dinning room is.

"Hey babe." I feel James put his arms around me.

"Hi babe." I say as I turn my head to kiss him.

"So how are you today?" James asks me.

"I'm fine I might be getting a cold or something but I'm fine."

"Oh I hope you're fine and well shall we go eat?"

"Yes I'm fine and, yes we shall." I say to him.

"Wow this smells delicious Mrs. Rosewood." James says to my mother.

"Well couldn't have done it without the help of Tori." My mom says as she looks at me with a smile.

"Hey anybody up for a little wine?" My father says as he comes down stairs.

"Ah there's the man of the hour how are you Frank?" James dad says as he gets up from his chair to greet my father.

"I'm doing fine and yourself George?"

"I'm doing splendid."

"Thats good, and oh hello there Felicia." My father says to James mother.

"Hello Frank nice to see you again."

My father then goes to the cabinet and pulls out a bottle of red wine. James and I look at each other and a smile comes across our face. The bottle my father pulled out was the bottle me and James used when he came over and I made chicken Alfredo. My father looks at the bottle realizing that most of it is gone. Then he sets his eyes on me and I already know he knows.

"Well it seems like someone has got ahold of this already."

I feel a warmth in my cheeks as I smile and look towards James. My father just smiles and turns to pull out another bottle. He pulls out a bottle of white wine, and grabs the glasses.

"Well that's fine for now because I believe that white wine is best for this occasion. I will later have to talk to those little rats that been getting into my wine though." He says this as he looks at me.

"I believe that those rats just wanted to have a little fun dad, should there really be any punishment about that?" I say with a smile.

"Well that was my best wine so there should be a slight punishment." My father then looks to James. I could tell that he's thinking about not letting him over for a while.

We eat the dinner, but I don't eat much because I feel as if I'm getting sick. We share a few laughs, jokes, stories and be for we know it, its fairly late and James parents have to go. They let James stay and sleep over however. We say our goodbyes and I go to the bathroom for the fourth time during this meal. I throw up some more, I don't understand what is wrong with me.

"I'll be out right now." I say as someone knocks on the door.

"Tori are you OK?" James as me as he opens the door.

"I don't know I feel sick." I tell him as he picks me up from the bathroom floor.

"Have you noticed any signs of you being sick? Like fever or anything?"

"No I just been throwing up I think I just need to relax for right now."

"Ok well lets go to the room." James says as he walks me out of the bathroom.

As we get to my room it hits me. I haven't got my period I missed it, I threw up in the morning, I couldn't stand the smell of the turkey. I.... I think I'm pregnant.
