It wasn't before long Olive found herself very much pregnant, she wasn't sure what kind of mother she would make but was determined to give it her all.
She had been avoiding telling her parents for some time now, and it was getting a bit obvious. She decided it was time to tell her family.
When she got to her parents house she was shocked at how thin and frail her mother had become. But with a weak voice and fragile fingers Savahanna held her daughter and congratulated her. Olive asked where daddy was and she told her he would be home shortly. They talked and Olive couldn't help but feel this would be the last time she would see her mother.
It was almost mignight before her father came home, Olive was beyond tired but really wanted to see him. Their relationship had been so strained and she felt that she had to make it stronger now more than ever. As she told her father about her pregnancy she noticed how slowly her mother was walking to her room. Her father was excited and seemed so happy. How could he, when his wife was so frail? Olive knew something was not right.
Before she headed home she made a stop at her sisters house. Natasha wasn't home but her husband and the girls were. She didn't really know her sisters husband all she knew was that he was a officer, so she talked to the girls for awhile. They had grown into teenagers and had so many questions about babies. Uncomfortable with this topic of how they are made, Olive exclaimed boys are bad news.
Serena was just a bit confused at her aunts outburst, she was sure they were not as bad as she was.
Selena was not sure what was going on, and asked where their father was she was daddy's little girl after all.
It was getting late and Natasha had not come home, Olive asked Selena if she would let her mother know she had stopped by and that she is to call her it was very important. She said ok and rubbed her tummy before running off to do her homework.
On the ride home she couldn't get the image of her mother out of her mind, something was going on and she was going to find out.
