Broken B1 - A Sophitz Story

Chapter 25

Sophie's POV

"Mom?" Calla called.

"Yes Calla?" I replied.

"I was wondering if you could tell me something."

"Uh, yeah, sure. What is it?"

"How did you and dad get together?"

I giggled a bit.

"Why would you want to know that?"

"Uncle Keefe told me it was an interesting story. I asked him to tell me but he said I should hear it from you!" I slapped my forehead.

"It's not that interesting. But sure. Your dad and I had been friends for a loooong time and-"
"How long exactly?" Calla cut in.

"Umm, five or six years. So I had liked your father for quite some time and-"

"How long is 'quite some time'?"

"Ummm, well, since I met him...?" Calla raised her eyebrows. "So the point is-"

"Get to the good stuff!" She whined. "Who told who first?"

"He told me that I was the only person he wanted on his matchmaking lists. And-"

"Who knew dad could be so romantic?" She wiggled her eyebrows. I just rolled my eyes.

"And then I told him I liked him too so-"

"Did you tell him you liked him, or that you loved him? And was there any smoochy? Actually, why did I ask that, that's gross!"

"Anyway, your grandpa, being his overprotective self, got super mad because- nevermind. So yeah... but then-"
"Pause pause pause. Were you guys together yet?"

"Not really. It got more official after a game of truth or dare." Calla shivered.

"Please don't speak of the disgusting things uncle Keefe dared you two to do."

"Ew, Calla, no!"

"Just keep going. How did he propose?"

"Oh, well, it was prom I think, and he called me up on stage and he asked me if I would marry him and-"
"Of course you said yes, just move along."

"Actually, I said I didn't know if I was ready, and your aunt-"

"Wa-wait. You left dad hanging in front of everyone?"

"Um, yeah. So your aunt was like what did you do! So then I thought about it and I realized I really loved him so I changed my mind and said yes."
"It was still a romantic proposal, so I shouldn't be ashamed. Ooooh! What was it like when I was born?"

"Oh, that was an emotional rollercoaster. So my water broke in the middle of the night and Fitz took me to Elwin's house-"

"Elwin delivered me!?!'

"What? Yeah, so then I was scared something would happen to you and Fitz reassured me. But when you were born, you weren't crying or moving, you were barely breathing." By now my eyes were tearing up. "And I was so scared you wouldn't make it. But Livvy saved you. And I was so happy to hold my beautiful little girl." I was crying now.

"Oh, mom." Calla gave me a hug.

"Is everything okay?" Fitz asked from the doorway.

"Um, yeah, I was telling Calla the story of when she was born," I sniffled.

"Honey, that's all behind us. We're here now, and we have a wonderful family."

"Can I join the group hug?" The innocent voice of Kenric asked.

"Aw, of course, sweetie! Come here."

"I love you guys," I whispered.

"Love you too, mom," Calla and Kenric replied.

"Love you, Soph," Fitz said as he gave me a peck.

"Okay, I came here to ask, can I sleep with you guys?" Kenric asked.

I laughed. "Sure."
