A big mess

Telling the rest of the family

They were all sitting on the sofa when Grace spoke up "so how are you going to tell the rest of them?" She asked "I don't know, I guess the same way I told you" she said "what crying because you don't know what to do?" She asked smiling Georgie smiled "I don't want to make a big fuss" she said "what about the simple bun in the oven" Elvis smiled Georgie nodded and smiled "that's perfect" she smiled. An hour later her dad walked in and Marie and Lulu were home. "Okay guys we've got something for you all, Max we want you to follow this piece of paper and what it tells you. It's from Georgie and Elvis" Grace said he nodded and opened the piece of paper "dad promise me you won't get mad, I found this a bit tricky but I think I've sorted it out, we've got a surprise for you that you might quite like, it's going to be a bit of a shock but the best shock of your life" he read out. "As for you Marie and Lu, you're going to help me through like you always do, because somehow the smallest ones in this house just know what to do" Marie read. "Georgie, what's wrong?" Asked Max "nothing" she smiled "we've baked you a cake, so we can celebrate just look in the oven for your last clue" Lulu read out. Max walked to the oven followed by the others and opened it slowly "what's in it?" Marie asked "a bun" Max said "a bun?" Lulu questioned "a bun!" Marie laughed "a bun in the oven!" She cried looking at Georgie. Georgie smiled and put her hand on her stomach "you're pregnant?" Her dad asked she nodded slowly "oh Georgie, congratulations!" He smiled hugging her she smiled and held him close "and you Elvis" he smiled pulling him in too "we're going to be aunties" Lulu smiled Marie smiled and stood with Grace "you look after her alright, she's had a tough time" Grace said Marie nodded "I will always look after her she's my best friend" she smiled Georgie looked over and smiled hugging Marie "I love you Marie" she said "love you too babe" she smiled. They all sat in the front room having a chat when it started to get late. "I might head to bed, congrats george" Lulu smiled hugging her sister as she went to bed. "I suppose we better go to bed soon Max you've got work in the morning" Grace said he nodded "see you tomorrow George" her dad said kissing her head "night Elvis" he said walking up the stairs "night dad" Georgie smiled. Grace left minutes later and then Marie stood up "I'll leave you two then" she smiled Georgie was holding Elvis's hand when she let go and grabbed Marie's "no, stay please" she said Elvis stood up and kissed Georgie's head "that's my cue, I'll see you in a bit, I love you" he said she smiled "I love you too" she said. Elvis headed to bed and Marie and Georgie sat in the front room. Marie shut the door and sat down with Georgie "what's wrong George?" She asked "I'm scared Marie, I'm so scared" she almost cried "you have nothing to be scared of, you're going to be a fantastic mum" she smiled holding her hand "I'm not sure" she said Marie smiled "mum told me about today" Marie said "she told you what?" Georgie asked looking at her hands "that you went to the abortion clinic, that you didn't do it, because deep down you love this baby more than anything in the whole world" she said Georgie nodded. "I just didn't want to give up my job" she said Marie nodded "you don't have to, you can work for the army from here" she said Georgie nodded "I know that now" she said "on the plus side, Elvis is staying here so we're going to buy a house and settle down" she smiled Marie smiled "I'm glad, I really am glad" she said "at least he won't get himself killed now" she said "why is he stopping?" Marie asked "he doesn't want to leave a baby with no dad, he said he should of stopped when he found out about Laura but I guess he didn't see the point seeing as him and Debbie weren't even together" she said Marie nodded "I'm glad you're staying, but I've got something to tell you too" she said "what's that?" Georgie asked "well on our honeymoon, fingers and I, well, things got a bit heated" she said "you're?" Georgie asked Marie nodded "I'm 9 weeks pregnant but you can't tell anyone not until I'm 12 weeks" she said Georgie smiled "congratulations Marie!" She smiled hugging her "looks like we're doing this together then" she smiled Georgie nodded and smiled "have you told Fingers?" She asked Marie nodded "he is so excited to be a dad" she smiled "they're going to be born within weeks of each other georgie, we're going to have kids as close as we are" she smiled Georgie smiled "that'd be pretty amazing for them and for us wouldn't it" she smiled Marie nodded "wouldn't it just" she smiled cuddling down on the sofa with her sister. "Do you think you'll move out before your baby is born George?" Asked Marie "I'm not sure I'll try my best" she said "I'm staying here, I can't get a place on my own, well that's if mum and dad let me" she smiled "of course they'd let you" she smiled "they'll love having a baby here again" she smiled holding Marie close. "You've always been the stronger one, you're going to be fine" Marie smiled "I'm not, stronger is talking and I'm not very good at that" Georgie said Marie smiled "you're talking now aren't you?" She asked Georgie nodded and pulled the blanket over them as they watched tv "not only have they got 3 girls in the house they've got 2 pregnant at the same time" Marie laughed Georgie smiled "they're going to have a more stressful 9 months than us I think" Georgie smiled Marie smiled and they were soon fast asleep on the sofa together.
