Life Without You//A Hamliza Story//Sequel

Ch 43

I'm back mother truckers. I didn't die, and I survived my first band camp! TBH, band camp wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe because the highest it got was 95* and it was my first year. Oh well.

Crap, my book got a very low rank since I've been gone for so long cri

Eliza POV

     Ever since the dinner incident that happened a few months ago, I've never been the same again. Theodosia can die any minute, and I don't want that to happen. She's way too important in my life. 

     It's a few days before Christmas, and I'm pregnant again. Again. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love having these beautiful children, but I don't know if I'm ready to take care of 5 children. Especially since e're going to have to buy presents for more kids. Fuuun. But in all seriousness, I really do love these amazing kids. 

     Peggy's better now. We're all surprised about that. Everyone said that she would take at least a year, but it was only a few months. I mean, she still needs help walking, but she can sometimes walk without the cane thingy the doctor gave her. She just can't walk long distances without it.

Eliza- Do you need to sit down, Peg?

Peggy- Nah, let's just continue the Christmas Shopping.

Eliza- Peggy, please sit down for a few minutes. The doctor said to-

Peggy- Who cares what the doctor says. I'm an independent girl who doesn't need no doctor to tell me what to do!

Eliza- Peggy,

Peggy- No, don't use that sweet voice with me! I'm not giving in. I'm not sitting down! If anything, you need to sit down. You're the pregnant one! Do you see a baby bump on me? Am I creating a human being in me? Do you see any signals of me being pregnant?! NO!

     I look around and see a bunch of people walking by, looking at Peggy. I look back at Peggy and see something. Wait a minute...

Eliza- Peggy...

Peggy- NO! Stop talking to me! I'm not disabled you know!

Eliza- Peggy, you sort of are.

     She looks down at the cane, before throwing it, almost hitting someone in the head.

Eliza- MARGARITA SCHUYLER! I am so sorry, sir! Peggy, what has gotten into you! 

     She doesn't respond. She only falls to the ground and starts crying.

Peggy- I'M SO SORRY, 'LIZA! I've been so emotional lately! First, I break up with Stephen, then I get a broken leg, and now....

Eliza- Peggy. What's wrong? Did he hurt you again?

Peggy- No.... We.. got back together in September. And in October, he invited me to a party and I sort of got drunk. And we sort of...

     She puts a hand on her stomach. I stare at her and kneel next to her, wide eyed. Is she..? Did she... She's. My baby sister...

     Oh my God. 

     I jump to her and hug her, careful to not hurt her leg. When we pull back, I place both of my hands on both side of her face and wipe her tears. Just as I started to cry with joy. This is an actual Christmas miracle!

Peggy- So, Merry early Christmas. This was my present to you.

Eliza- Good enough!

Peggy- I'm just kidding, I got you an actual present. 

Eliza- Oh my God, what's better than learning that my baby sister is pregnant with me?

Peggy- Knowing that our older sister is also pregnant and is expecting her baby in April.

Eliza- WHAAAAT?!

Peggy- I KNOW RIGHT! It's all like: Angelicaaaa, Elizaaaa, and Peggyyy. The Pregnant Sisters!

    We share a laugh before hugging it out again. Then we just continue our Christmas shopping like nothing happened. But something did: a Christmas surprise.

///woop woop time change///

     When I got home after spending the day with Peggy, I set my bags in my closet in the bedroom and start to frolic around the house. Literally. I skip around a bit, swing my dress around as I do so, and swing my arms around. I even take off my shoes and throw them around a bit. I know, it's not was you expect a one month pregnant women to do, but I did it queen. 

     I even sing and yell a bit. But I can't help it! How would you react if you found out that both of your sister's were pregnant at the same time as you? Uh huh. That's what I thought.

Eliza- WHAT TIME IS IT?! SHO-

Alexander- Time for you to make dinner.

     I turn to the direct where the noise came from and saw the whole family sitting at the table waiting to eat. Except there was no food.

Eliza- Oh, hello. How are you all?

Angelica- Hungry.

Philip- Angie and I tried to make dinner, but failed. So, we were waiting for you.

Eliza- Oh, what did you try and make?

Alexander- Pancakes.

Eliza- Oh-

Alexander- Yeah, we don't have to tell you how they failed. Let's just say that we almost had to buy a new house.

Eliza- Oh, um. Ok then. Glad to see everyone ok. And alive. Let me go make some steak, I guess. Angelica, can you come help?

Philip- Oh, can I help too?

Eliza- Of coarse.

     They stood up and followed me to the kitchen. The rest of the night was just us eating, talking, and catching up on how all three Schuyler Sister's were pregnant. I must say, this is the best day of my life. 

A/N-Oh, oh hi. I didn't see you there. How long have you been sitting there? Oh, almost two weeks? Oh, I'm sorry. What was that? You're angry at me for not updating? I'm so so sorry. I'll try and make it up to you. But I start school on the 15th, so in two weeks. And I'll most likely have a lot of homework because who knows what high school homework is like compared to middle school homework. And then I'll have marching band practice every day after school from 4pm to 8pm. So updates may be slow again. I promise I'll write as much as I can the next week.
