Mine (Onhold)

chapter 1

"Mom I'm going for four years. I'll visit turkey as much as I can so stop crying!" I couldn't help the guilt flooding through me but a part of me was overwhelmed with excitement, my words rushed considering we were yelling and emotional on the airport with eyes on us

"Zendaya I am your mother and you're my only child!  How can you expect me not to cry? even your father was upset yesterday. He kept saying my baby's grown up so quick. And the thought of you leaving so quickly has us broken!"

"I guess this is natures way of saying you should concieve again."I winked at my mom but got a light punch on my shoulder.

"Hahahah I'm joking sorry."

"Zendaya I need to tell you something."

"OMG mom not now. We are on the airport. I do not want the sex talk." I smacked my face lightly blushing hoping that no-one hears us. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom but she has a habit of embarrassing me in the worst places and ways possible.

"Zendaya watch that mouth of yours. The thing is..... "

"What ma?"

"The thing is...... I'm pregnant."
...
....

"Mom!!!!!  You're serious?" Forgetting completely that we were at the airport I yelled out loud getting weird looks from people around.

"Yeah honey." She smiled
"When did you find out? OMG I'm going to be an older sister!"

"3 months ago"

"What?. What do you mean three bloody months ago. Why didn't you tell me? Why would you keep this all from me when you know how much I wanted a sibling. How could you not tell me. And now you're telling me when I'm getting on the plane to Italy. Mother this isn't fair." I couldnt help control my anger. My mother has been trying for a baby for a while now so hearing this made me so happy yet sad that I was going away.

"This is exactly why your father and I decided not to tell you sweety. You've studied your butt off because you wanted to go to Italy to study. And knowing you I know you would never go there if we told you. Baby the smile on your face when you received the acceptance email was one that your father and I desired to see for so long. Your hard work is  paying off. You wouldn't go out but used your spare time to learn a bit of Italian. How could we let those dreams of yours die?"

I had tears in my eyes but it sure made me feel a lot better.
"Thanks mum for understating". I hugged her tight. Before bidding my farewell to her she told me she thinks its a boy. Ugh I hate that I'd be so far away when my family was introducing a new member but keeping it all aside im so excited to start this new chapter of my life. I cant wait for this incredible four year journey. Who knows if it goes the way I want, I might even settle there!

After a long ass flight I finally reached my new home
