Milo's Sister

Chapter 33

November 2020

"Milo," I said, playing with his fingers as we laid on the couch, home alone and just enjoying each other's presence.
"Hmm?" He asked, stopping his hands from running through my hair.
"We still haven't had an engagement party," I reminded him, "And then comes the bridal shower, bachelor/bachelorette party, because we're having ours together, finally wedding. And eventually a gender reveal party, baby shower, and all of the sort."
He laughed, "We're finding out the genders of our future babies?"
"Well, I don't know....Maybe," I shrugged, cuddling back into his embrace.
"How many are we gonna have?" He asked, holding me tightly.
"I don't care. I want a lot. Four at least," I shrugged, leaning back onto his shoulder.
His eyes widened, "Four?"
I nodded, "Four."
"I mean, I'm down. We can have as many kids as you'd like," He agreed, "As long as you're sure."
I smiled, "I'm sure."

I couldn't wait to marry this man.

"Hey, Beautiful!" Sylvia gasped as I left Milo's side to go see her. 

Milo, Kayla, Camryn, and I had just arrived to the Manheim Thanksgiving Party. The usual Thanksgiving Party with the Manheim's was just a sit down thing. The adults would sit around the table and talk, the kids might run off and play house or something. Lisa, could not make it, so it was just Jerome, Sylvia, Karl, Linda, Camryn, Ally, Allen, Kayla, Milo, and I. 

"Hey, Grandma!" I grinned, leaning down to hug her.                       

"You get prettier every time I see you," She cooed. 

My face softened, "Thank you, you look beautiful yourself," I complimented her back.

She smiled, obviously very flattered, "Thank you, Dear." 

"Hey, Bubby," Milo said, squeezing her tightly, "Having fun?" 

"Hello, Sweetie!" She smiled, kissing his cheek, "I'm having a wonderful time!" 

He grinned, wrapping an arm around my waist, "I'm glad to hear that! We'll be right back, we want to say hi to Karl and Linda and Grandpa before we eat." 

She smiled and waved us on. First, we went to see Jerome. 

"Well, hey there," Jerome grinned, hugging both Milo and I.
"Hey, Grandpa," We both said in unison

"I completely understand," Jana nodded, agreeing with me.

I had an interview with E! News today, via Zoom.

Good old Zoom, my least favorite way of communication. Most things had gone back to normal, since COVID, but some interviews hadn't.

Karl and Linda had asked us if we could watch Ally, today, because Allen was at a friend's house and both parents had to work. We had gladly agreed, and since I had an interview, Milo and Kayla had been left with the job of caring for the baby for an hour. 

"What's been keeping you busy-?" She was stopped by a loud crash.
I started laughing, "Are you okay?"

I looked over to Milo who had just fallen down the stairs and was now lying on his back on the bottom of the stairs.

He gave me a thumbs up, "I'm fine!"

He groaned and rubbed his back, causing me to laugh.

"Sorry, continue. Milo just fell down the stairs," I apologized, chuckling.
She laughed, too, "It's fine...Speaking of which, do I hear wedding bells in the near future?"
I laughed again, "We're planning on being married, this time, next year."
"Ooh!" She winked, "Where's the fiance, anyways?"
"Milo?" I called.
"What?" He answered.
"Come here," I said, knowing he was in the kitchen, "He's in the kitchen, but he's coming."
"Okay," She laughed.
