Finding my mum

38- telling Janette and Bex

Today was the day that I was telling Janette and Bex what was wrong with Chloe. Chloe and Ashley had gone for a scan yesterday. They said that I could have gone with them but I wanted it to just be them. I said that I'd like to go to the rest and be as involved as they'd let me. I'd asked them if I could tell Janette and Bex which they said was ok with them.

I finished getting ready then went to find Ashley and Chloe to say bye and that I was leaving. I walked past Chloe in the bathroom being sick, I was just about to knock to see if she needed anything when I heard Ashley talking to her. I was really happy that they were on good terms again. I looked at my watch and knew that I had to go so I'd have to text them instead.

Bex usually picks me up but as the park was like a five to ten minutes walk and it was a nice day I said I'd walk.

When I got to the park I quickly text Chloe

Hey, sorry I didn't say goodbye. Hope you're feeling a bit better. We'll curl up on the sofa just us tonight if you want but if you and Ashley have something planned then it's ok. Love you

As I looked up I saw Janette. I went over to say hi and give her a hug.

Janette:"hey, what's going on?"
Me: "hey, I'll tell you when Bex gets here. It's nothing bad I promise"
Janette: "ok"
Me: "how's monkey and Aljaz?"
Janette: "Aljaz says hi. Monkey is monkey and definitely misses you"
Me: "say hi back from me and I miss him too. There's Bex."
Bex: "hey, what's so important that you needed both of us? I can't stay long I have a meeting in a bit"
Me: "hey, let's go sit down and I'll tell you"

We all waked to the benches catching up. When we got to the benches I filled them in.

Me: "remember me saying that Chloe hadn't been herself since she got back from honeymoon?"

Janette and Bex nodded.

Me: "well we discovered the other day what's been going on"
Janette: "you going to tell us?"
Me: "I'm going to be a big sister again"
Bex: "wait, Chloe's pregnant?"
Me: "she is"
Janette: "tell her and Ashley I say congratulations"
Me: "I will. Bex, you ok?"
Bex: "yeah"
Me: "you don't look it"
Bex: "I need to go"

Janette and I just sit and watch Bex leave.

Janette: "any idea what's wrong with her"
Me: "nope, I'll message her later. Do you have to get off or do you want to go for a walk around?"
Janette: "shall we go for a walk?"
Me: "yeah"

As we were walking around I thought I'd ask Janette about strictly.

Me: "you excited for strictly?"
Janette: "I guess"
Me: "what's up?"
Janette: "nothing. I'm going to have to go soon"
Me: "you said that you didn't have to"
Janette: "I've just remembered things I need to do"
Me: "ok then. I should be getting back to Chloe anyway"

We spent the walk back to Janette's car in silence. When we got there, we said goodbye and I started walking home.

"What did I do? Both Bex and Janette couldn't get away from me quick enough" I thought to myself.
