The Confused One

Episode 6

I drove to Charlie’s house and as soon as I reached I knocked the door.

My twin brother knows me better than any other person in the world so I have to be as convincing as I possibly can be because he can tell when I’m lying.

“Hello Lyra.” I said to my sister in law and gave her a hug.

Lyra is an adorable person, she’s so happy all the time, she always has a little flower in her hair, Lyra is actually Japanese but she doesn’t know much about her culture as she was adopted by an American couple when she was little, little Elliot is so cute though, he’s a mix of Charlie and Lyra, you gotta love the kid.

“What are you doing here I thought you weren’t coming over until next weekend, Elliot is going to be so happy you are here, he misses you.” Lyra said as we walked into the kitchen and she filled me a glass of wine.

“I’m sorry Lyra I can’t drink.” I said and she looked me at as if I was crazy but then let it go and drank the wine herself.

“Is Charlie home?” I asked.

“He went to get some milk, we ran out for Elliots bottles and he doesn’t sleep without a bottle, he should be home soon.” She said and then we both talked for a bit but soon little Elliot wanted me to play with him and I couldn’t say no even if I wanted to.

I was so caught up in playing with Elliot that I didn’t even realise that Charlie has came into Elliots toy room and was watching us.

“Lyra said you were looking for me.” Charlie said making me jump.

I told Elliot I would be back in a little moment, he wasn’t too happy but let me go nevertheless.

“I wanna tell you something, let’s go to the kitchen so Lyra can be there too.” I said and he nodded and we both made our way to the kitchen.

We all sat down and I took deep breaths and then started.

“Ok, you guys remember how I felt really confused because i knew there was something missing in my life but I couldn’t figure it out.” I said and Lyra and Charlie nodded do I continued.

“Well I realised how badly I wanted a family, but you know my luck with guys so I got a donor and now I’m pregnant.” Everything I told them is true, I had to put my words carefully so everything I said was true so Charlie would believe me, technically I did get help of a donor, Lucas was technically a donor so no lies told.

“Awww, I’m going to be an aunt and Elliot is going to have a little cousin to play with.” Lyra gushed happily and hugged me. “I knew something was up when you didn’t accept the wine.” She whispered to my ear and I smiled.

“I’m happy for you.” Charlie said next and came to give me a hug too.

“How for along are you?” Lyra asked.

“6 weeks.” I answered.

“Aww you are still early, any morning sickness yet?” She asked and I shock my head no.

“Get ready it could hit at any time.” She warned.

I’m so thankful that Lyra is so nice because since I could never make a girl friend I thought we wouldn’t get along but thankfully we got on very well.

After spending at least half an hour talking to Lyra and Charlie and another half an hour playing with Elliot I decided it was time for me to go home since I still need to tell one last brother the news.

I drove home and thought how Charlie was happy but not over the moon happy but I guess it just came at a shock to him, my best guess is that he’s upset because i didn’t tell him I was wanting to have a baby, I tell him everything so I guess it would make sense if that’s why he’s kinda upset.

I told Cameron and he has to have been the person so was most happy about the baby news, he couldn’t stop talking about how he’ll come over or mine all the time to be with with nephew or niece.

I love all my brothers but of course I’m closer with Charlie as he’s my twin.

I love Cameron and Callum very much too, Cameron would always help me play pranks back on Lucas when he played pranks on me and Callum would always be there for me when I wanted to eat like a pig, we both go out to eat all the time to all different places, always trying new things, my brothers are awesome.

I took a shower, not a burning hot one like I love as apparently that’s bad for babies so I took a quick shower and put on my comfiest pjs that still fit me but only will for another while.

I pulled out a picture of the ultrasound and put it in a frame am placed it near my bed.

I fell asleep looking at the ultrasound and rubbing my belly trying to imagine what the baby’s first kick will be like.
