Alice sat with her mother, Agatha, on the other end of the table. They were having lunch in Laduree at Harrods, as Alice broke the big news to her mother. Her mom lowered the fork to her plate, slowly. She took a deep breath in and looked to her daughter, her beautiful innocent daughter.
"Alice, just take care of it. Take care of it and move on. I mean, what will happen to your career darling? Do you think they will employ pregnant dancers?" she blurted out, her arms folded. Alice was dumbfounded, she did not expect her mom to react in such a way.
"Well, I'm in the early stages. I have a while before I have to admit to anything," Alice insisted. She took the napkin and wiped her mouth.
"How could you not tell them Alice?"
"Well they don't need to know. I mean, I will start showing when I'm--- I don't know--- Seven months in," Alice explained, tucking her bangs to the side.
"Three months darling. Three months," her mom repeated, her lips smacked.
"Three months? No way..."
"Three months Alice! Fat goes straight to your face, your arms! Heck even your arse!"
"But--- Well Cousin Amelie did not get fat!" she insisted, her arms folded.
"Darling, Amelie won the fucking gene lottery. Her dad's French," Agatha explained throwing the napkin to the table.
"Listen mother, can't you just be supportive. I mean seriously---" Alice pleaded, placing her palm on top of Agatha's.
"I am sorry dear, I cannot support you on this. It's a big mistake, you are barely twenty-one! Now is not the time! You're on track to become a Rockette Girl, that was the plan. That was why I let you move to London," Agatha rattled on. "Not to get knocked up by some Rockstar who is taking advantage of you like this! How old is he anyway?"
"Mother please! I love him," Alice squeezed her mother's hand.
"My child--- You are too young to know what love is," her mom caressed her cheek. Alice swallowed a gust of anger; the evening was not going as she had planned. She was thankful Freddie could not join this lunch, it would have hurt his feelings.
