The power of love

Keep it a secret

Tashi's POV
Last night I couldn't sleep. Dad and Jen were so freaking loud... well, they are always, like literally every night since we all moved together and stuff, especially when Jen comes home with her crazy energy. But last night was even louder and it almost never stopped.
I don't know if they never think that I can hear them, like I'm just next door. But it wasn't only because of that I couldn't sleep, last night Jen came to my room and gave me a goodnight kiss even though I kind of "avoided" it. I don't really know how I feel but it feels pretty ok.

30 minutes later
Emme slowly opens the door to my room, sticks her head in. "Oh thank goodness you're not sleeping" she says and enters
"What is it?" I Ask
"nothing I'm just bored, everyone is sleeping" she says
"I would tell you to come on in but you seem to have made yourself comfortable." I joke
"Oh I'm sorry... I didn't think about that" she says standing up and literally going out again
"It's a joke. Of course you can come to my room whenever you want" I say

We just sit her doing nothing but talking. I just want to tell her what happened last night. Though it's not a big deal I just want to talk about it with someone. I won't tell her, what if she tell Jen that, not that anything would happen but still.

40 minutes later
"Why is everybody still sleeping?" Emme asks me
"Maybe just tired or something" I say 
"But tired of what? Yesterday we went sleep by 9pm" she says
"Well some didn't " I say
"Oh so you didn't sleep when you were told to?" She says and just then I hear Jen fucking moaning.
"Eww, why so early..." I say running out of the room.
"It was actually late...." Emme shouts while coming after me. I'm sure she didn't hear what I heard.

At breakfast table
"Dad, yesterday read an article about sounds.... There's some people who can hear sounds out of nowhere. And they are the only one hearing them" Ella says
"What? Where did you read it from?" I dad says
"It's called tinnitus. It's usually not normal sound, it's more like ringing or buzzing" Jen says
"Eww that's really annoying " Emme says
"Yeah that's some nasty piece of shit" Max says
"Language" Jen replies
"If you find that nasty then you wouldn't like to hear the things that I hear literally every single day" I say
"What are you talking about?" Dad asks me
"Nothing" I say nervously
"Don't tell me you watch-" he says before Jen cuts him off
"Of course not... jeez give the kid a break.. I'm sure she meant something else" Jen say
"I don't know what you're trying to say but I guess Jen is right" I say

Jennifer's POV
How can Alex think of something like that. She's just a kid. "You have a dirtier mind than I thought" I say
"What? She a teen, you never know these days with all the technology and stuff" he says
"Mom, I'd like a new computer for Christmas" Max says
"Oh, I literally forgot about Christmas" Ella says
"But Max you just got a new computer on your birthday" I say
"But I want a gaming computer" he says
"Ok, we'll see" I say
"I want a karaoke machine" Emme says
"Karaoke machine? Really? Are from the 80s or something?" Tashi says
"Natasha?" Alex says
"What? Have you ever seen someone use those things anymore?" She says
the kids just starts telling me what they want and stuff.
"Ok.. I heard you all.. but remember I'm not Santa. Write a list and send it to Santa. He'll decide whether you deserve it or not" I say
"Santa? Really mom?" Emme says
"Do you know when a child stop believing in Santa? By the age of 5 sometimes 6" tashi says
"You don't have to point it out, I'm sure she's aware" Ella says
"I still believe in Santa. He does exist. I saw him" Max says trying to make me feel better
"Alright, enough about Santa. What are we doing later?" Alex asks
"Chilling without reading" Ella says
"Totally agreed" tashi says
"NOo, let's go out and have some fun" Emme says
"Right? I agree with that... we should go out and have some fun" Alex says
" I'm tired.. I don't feel like going out today" I say
"Me too" Max says
"Alright, it's just me and just then" Alex tells Emme

40 minutes
"I'm ready, Emme let's go " Alex says and Emme rushes to him
"What? Are y'all going without me?" Max says and join them
"No everyone is going? I don't want to stay anymore" Ella says and they all rush out
I'm just waiting for tashi to go too, I know she wouldn't like be alone with me. The car leaves and she's still here. What a surprise.
"I guess it's just you and me then" she says
"Movie?" I ask
"Sure" she say

We're watching pitch perfect 2. Tashi wanted it. Half way through the movie I started feeling kind of bad. Some cramp and stuff. I call Leah, she likes talking about these things. I really don't feel like moving, my seat is already warm. "Tashi? Can I just take this call real quick. I'll speak really low" I say
"Sure whatever" she says looking into the tv as if she's about to enter it.

Phone call
"Hi baby" Leah says
"Hey, Leah. Hyd?" I say
"I'm just fine, hbu?" She says
"Actually not fine." I say
"Oh really? What is it?" She says
"My stomach. I have cramps every now and then. I'm so exhausted, and I'm still waiting for my period" I say
"Girl that sounds serious" she jokes
"I mean It" I say
"Why are you exhausted? You mean like from work and stuff or the clapping?" she says and I know exactly what she means with the last one
"Not like that. More my body is kind of paining. You know when you first start going to the gym? That kind of pain but that as painful. You know?" I say
"Giiirrrlll.. you've been getting it real hard haven't you?" she's still joking
"Leah???" I say
"Ok. Sorry" she laughs
"But when were you expecting your period to arrive?" She says seriously this time
"Like.... 2 weeks ago.." I say
"Daaang.. girl you're knocked up" she jokes AGAIN
"Leah stop joking... are you high or something?" I say
"Why do you always think that" she says
"Because you're never serious" I say
"No, but for real... ok. Seriously now. Have you had like spotting or similar?" She asks
"I don't know, just a little bit." I say
"You're definitely knocked up" she shouts
"Stop being so loud. I'm not.. where are you now" I ask
"Just at home.. chilling in my pjs.You?" she says
"At home too. Watching pitch with tashi" I say
"Tashi? I thought the girl didn't like you" she says loudly
"Ok.. talk to you later" I say trying to avoid her
"NOo.. don't hang up." She says
"Jen.." she says
"Yeah?" I say
"I'm just joking.. I don't think you're pregnant" she says
" I know..this is not the first time you joke about it" I say
"But I think you should either take a test or go see a doctor, because you never know" she says
"BTW......what did Alex say about it?" She asksp
"Nothing...I haven't told him yet.. and I don't have the intention to" I say and immediately tashi gives me the look.
"Why not? Don't you think he'd like to know that?" She says
"First of all this is not true.. And second I don't want to start causing problems out of nowhere" I say
"I don't get it. Why would there be a problem if you got pregnant, and in fact you don't even know if you are not or you're just tell him so that he's aware, right? Doesn't he know the consequences of doing it?" She says angrily
"That's not what I meant... it's just that we don't want that... at least not for now" I say
"You of all people I know would want a child anytime. That's what you've always said, remember you told me you wanted more children, like five more?" She says
"Yeah... and you said that it was a crazy idea which I agree with." I say
"I said five was crazy but not one... Jen is this all about-" she says before I cut her off
"I just wanted a big family back then and now I have it. We have four children now and that's enough" I say
"Just tell me Jen.. does Alex want kids?" She asks
"Of course.... we have four kids why wouldn't he want them" I say
"You know what you mean " she says
"Well.... we've talked about it before and we agreed that the ones we have are enough" I say
"You agreed or he said?" She asks
"Leah please don't start... I'll have to go now" I say
"Jen... just take the test and know that no matter what happens I'm always here for you" she says
"Don't worry I'm not and everything is just fine" I say
"Alright then... call me when you've taken the test... talk to you later" she says
"Leah.. please do me a favor and don't tell anyone" I say
"Too late Angelo heard it all...." she says
"I wasn't referring to him, I know he knows everything" I say
"My lips are sealed" she says
"Thanks... love you....bye" I say hanging up
