Unexpected

Chapter 31

The next morning I woke up and saw the bed next to me empty. I got out of bed and remembered the fun we had last night. After sleeping for an hour in front of the fire we got into bed and lay for ages talking and kissing. I smiled at the memory and I put my silk robe on and I went downstairs to see Cory making breakfast. I went over and wrapped my arms around his waist "Mmm... Good looking what you got cooking?" I asked.

"Sausages, bacon and egg,"

"It smells good,"

"Almost as good as me?"

"Yeah maybe,"

He finished cooking and we sat down at the table and I poured us some orange juice "Do you still want to talk to your Mum about us having a baby for her?" I asked him.

"Yeah I do. I really want to make her happy and if we can do this for her I know her life will be back on track,"

We ate breakfast and then Lea came in with Evelyn "Morning Lea," I said.

"Morning sweetheart," she said "Did have you have a nice night?"

"Yeah it was great thank you for letting us have the night,"

"I can guess that you had a nice time. Especially as your in your silk robe and not PJ's,"

I blushed and Cory went over to his Mother and he kissed Evelyn and Evelyn wanted to go into her Father's arms "After we've got changed we wanted to talk to you Lea,"

"Okay you've got me worried,"

"Don't be,"

Lea had some breakfast and Cory fed Evelyn while I went to get dressed as he already was. I came back down and we all sat together in the living room and Evelyn played in her play pen.

"Before we talk I need to tell you something... I've sent divorce papers to your Father," Lea said.

"When?" Cory asked.

"Last week,"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"Because I was going to wait until he signed them but he won't at the moment. He said he won't sign them without talking to me,"

"I'm sorry Mum,"

Lea then smiled softly at us "What did you want to talk to me about?" she asked us.

I looked at her "Lea... We know you said you wanted another baby and you couldn't because you had no one and the reason why we've been arguing about money is becuase I wanted to pay for you to have artificial inseminaton but then Cory suggested something else which we've talked about. We want to have a baby for you,"

She sat there and didn't say anything for a minute. Cory just held my hand and squeezed it. I looked over at her again and she met my gaze "Are you sure you guys are okay with this?"

"We wouldn't have offered if we weren't,"

"But Jennifer... Giving away a baby is hard. I know that when Harry forced me to leave Cory here while we moved,"

"It's different because I'll know it's not my baby,"

"Are you totally sure? Cory are you?"

"We are," Cory said "We want you to be happy and we can do this for you,"

"Okay if you are sure,"

"We are,"

We talked for a while and then I got a text from Mum saying she wanted to meet me for lunch at a restaurant near by. I looked at Cory "Mum wants to meet me she wants to have some lunch and have a chat," I said.

"Go have fun,"

"Okay thanks,"

I kissed him softly and then got my coat and put my shoes on and went to go meet my Mother.

--------------------------------------------------

I arrived at the resturant my Mother said to meet her at and I walked in and saw her sat at a table. I walked over and she stood up and hugged me softly and she kissed my cheek. We both sat back down and she looked at me "Sorry for such the late notice I wanted to meet up with you. I feel like I haven't seen you much recently,"

"Sorry Mum... Did you have fun with Lea and Evelyn last night?"

"Yeah I played with Evelyn till bed time and then had some wine with Lea,"

"Shall I get some drinks?"

"No today is on me,"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am. What do you want to drink?"

"A coke please,"

She went to get some drinks and I noticed she was being weird and she had been crying. She came back and then I looked at her "Mum you've been crying what's wrong?"

"I... Let's have some lunch and we can talk,"

"Mum you've got me worried,"

"Don't be sweetie,"

"I'll have the curry please," I said when the waitor came over.

"And I'll have lasange please,"

When the waitor left I held Mum's hand "What ever is going on you can tell me,"

"I'm scared Jennifer,"

"Why Mum?"

"I'm sorry,"

"What are you sorry for Mum?"

"One lasange and one curry," The waitor said coming over and putting our food down

"Thanks," I whispered softy.

I saw the tears beginning to form in my Mother's eyes. I ate my food wodering what could be wrong. When we were finally done I looked at her "Mum we've eaten now you can tell me what's wrong,"

"I've just coming from the hospital. I found a lump a few week ago by my breast and I went to the Doctors and she suggested the hospital check it out and so I went this morning and they got the results back an I've got breast cancer,"

Tears began filling up my eyes "Mum... I can't lose you,"

"They aren't sure if it's terminal or not but from what they can tell the cancer has been there for a while,"

"Mum... Why didn't you tell me when you found the lump,"

"I didn't want to worry you. Also they think the cancer gene is genetic because my Mum has it and died from it and now I've got it so they want to test you for it,"

"Okay when,"

"The Doctor said if you came with to my next appointment they would arrange it. I'm so sorry sweetie,"

"Don't apologise none of this is your fault,"

Some tears fell from my eyes "Mum you shouldn't be alone. Come home with me for a while,"

She shook her head "I need to go and get some sleep I'm tired,"

I got up and Mum hugged me tightly "I'll come and see you tomorrow okay?"

"Okay,

We walked out together and the I got in my car and drove home. When I got home I went into the living room and Cory came over to me "Why aren't you at work?" I asked him.

"I have weekends off remember,"

"Oh yeah sorry,"

"What's wrong you've been crying?"

I sat on the sofa and Lea sat with a hot drink looking over at me "Mum's got breast cancer and they aren't sure it's cureable and they think I might have the cancer gene so I need to be tested and go with Mum to her next appointment,"

"I'm sorry hunny," Cory said as he hugged me.

"I lost my Dad and I can't lose her too,"

"You won't,
