Ep.4

Its been about a month since we decided to fight.

Han, my lawyer, stays true to his word and he is still representing me the best he can- which is thankfully really well.

Our story made the news since it is the longest fought trial in our area in a long time. Our city isn't very fair when it comes to exkebars.

Joshua hasn't made one complaint about us using his money, in fact he urges Seok to take off work to stay with me, and he gives him the pay he is missing out on.

Joshua has so much money and i don't know how, he never seems to work or worry. He never complains, he watches Eon when court is on the weekend or after school hours.

I thank god for his kind heart.

He treats me like a daughter of his own, better than I've ever been treated.

He treats Eon as a grand daughter, which i guess now she technically is.

She's gotten used to calling me mom, but my heart still skips a beat sometimes.

Cagh usually stays with Eon and Seok's parents. She is glued to Eons hip.

If it weren't for Bach dancing in her shoulder at all time, you would think Cagh was Eons familiar.

Since Seok and Cagh's bind weakened, they can be separated for a long time without any damage, though if one gets hurt so does the other.

Seok cut himself shaving while getting ready for court and cuts appeared on both mine and Caghs faces.

Me and Seok are set to graduate next month, though the school almost kicked me out because I, 'drew too much public attention' to the school.

Han persuaded them otherwise.

Everything seems to be going so fast that i almost can't comprehend it all.

I've got some scary news soon that i plan to share, but im too terrified of others reactions.

"Jagi?"

"Huh?" I look up from my plate of steak and mash potatoes and see Seok eyeing my curiously.

I must have zoned out.

"Are you ok? You've hardly touched you meal." He offers me a sweet smile.

He melts my heart with those dimples.

"Im fine just a bit sick that's all." I smile and im not lying, i had been throwing up a lot lately, mostly nerves.

"Ok." He smiles again from across the table.

"Han is dominating this case!" Joshua laughs from the head of the table.

"Is there anything he can't do?" He laughs again.

"Hun, i think that they would appreciate it if you didn't talk about court in the middle of our sunday dinner," Ma laughs, "They already have to hear it from everyone else.

"Of course, my dear." Joshua smiles understandably.

"How is school Eonie?" Ma asks laughing as Eon eats her food with her hands and not her utensils.

"Great!" She replies with a mouth full of food.

If this were any other day, i would tell her to eat proper, but it doesn't seem to be bugging anyone. Everyone almost seems pleased to see her being a kid.

"We got a class hamster!" She smiles again.

"Oh really? What's his name?"

"Oh nana," Eon laughs, "Her name is Angelina! Named after my teachers great grandmother!"

She continues to eat just as animal like as Cagh, who is eating a ham  next to her on the floor.

"Eonie," i laugh as i grab a napkin, "How do you have food on your forehead?"

We all laugh as i wipe the potatoes from her head.

"Ah, she's a kid Nani," Ma laughs, "Don't be surprised if you find more on your door handle after you get home."

We all laugh again and i nod in agreement.

Seoks mom insists that i call her Ma, its short for her full name, but she won't remind me of it.

We all finish our meal and i help Ma with the dishes while the others pick out a movie to watch.

"I see you guys are doing well?" She asks smiling.

"We are," i agree, "But something's come up.

"Oh?" She looks at me. Her eyes are a very light brown that match her hair, she has a slightly natural tan, and she is missing one of her teeth, the one next to the front two.

"Yeah," i sigh, "Ma?"

"Yes, dear?"

"I'm pregnant.."

I look down a bit embarrassed.

"And what's wrong with that?" She says sounding surprisingly happy.

I look at her and her huge smile warms my heart.

"Well, i-i just didn't think anyone would approve of it." I say finishing the last dish.

"Nani," she grabs my hands after i place the last one in the rack to dry, "I know you have a bad past with family, but please know that nothing would make me happier than being there for you and Seok, especially in times like this. You love my son, and my son loves you. And we love you! We all do. We support you no matter what! Plus it would be nice to have a second grandchild running around."

My heart bursts with excitement and happiness.

I open my mouth to say something but i can't, i am speechless.

"How long?" She asks moving her hands to my stomach.

"Uh..." I think, "I've only known for about a week, but i think its been almost a month."

Her smile widens. "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

Either would be just fine. I shrug.

"You ladies ready to watch the movie?" Joshua calls from the other room.

Ma looks at me as she yells back, "Yes dear, we'll be right there."

"Please don't tell Seok, i want to be the one to tell him." I smile.

"Of course." She lets go of my belly and starts towards the living room.

I follow.

"What is it?" She asks as we sit down.

I sit by Seok as usual, her by Joshua, all of us on the couch. Eon, Cagh and Bach lay on the floor.

"Its a surprise." Joshua teases.

Ma looks at me and smiles wide again. Her excitement surprises me.

I'm so happy she approves and i burry my head in Seoks chest to hide my rosey cheeks.

But now how do i tell everyone else?
