CHAPTER ELEVEN
1220 Words
Are you kidding me now mum?
"She's pregnant because I got her pregnant, geez mum just quit the bizarre questions already"
"Wow, I can't believe this" Craig exclaims
"Who is this Emerald girl?"
"Her name is Hazel, not Emerald"
"So why does Craig call her Emerald?"
"Oh...cuz she has charming Emerald green eyes, you'll confirm when you meet her"
"So Klaus, is this Hazel the reason why you broke up with Daisy?"
"No mum , Hazel has got nothing to do with that. Daisy and I were over before I met Hazel. She's my P. A" I explain and she suddenly smiles
"So I'm really going to be a grandma?"
"Yes mother"
"Oh...I'm proud of you son, come here"
She engulfs me in a firm hug and I can't help but wonder how her arms could be this strong at her age
"Thanks mum"
"So when am I meeting her?"
"Um... actually mum, Hazel is a girl of her own ways, I have to discuss it with her first. I hope you don't mind"
"Of course not son, take your time. I'm just happy it's not Daisy who is pregnant. I'm fine with any girl carrying my grandchild. EXCEPT...I said EXCEPT Daisy. She's a bad influence"
"Seriously mum what did Daisy ever do to you?"
"It's more like, what did Daisy NOT ever do to me. She's a pain in my a*s"
That makes Craig and I to chuckle. Mum clearly hates Daisy for absolutely no reason. The first day I introduced Daisy to her as my girlfriend, she looked at Daisy straight in the eye and said "I don't like you for my son" and then left for her bedroom. Since then it has never been well between mum and Daisy. You can call it hate at first sight. I just pray she likes Hazel.
"I can't wait to be an uncle"
Craig says excitedly. I know for sure that he's going to be a great uncle to my child. He's going to spoil him with gifts and take him out on his crazy adventures.
The idea of having a child really raises butterflies in my stomach.
Imagine me being called "dad". I can't thank Hazel enough for making me this proud and also for making my brother and mother happy. She's indeed my miracle.
"My next grandchild has to be from you Craig, this issue is not debatable"
Hahahaha!
The smile on someone's face just faded away. The look on Craig's face is priceless.
What did he think?, That I'll make him an uncle and he won't do same to me?
Impossible. I need me a niece or nephew, pretty soon.
"Daisy's single now" I whisper and he chuckles.
"Thanks for the reminder, but no thanks, I don't do evil spirits. I'll pass on this one"
I laugh harder as I pour myself a glass of red wine and sip. I just love my family very much. I can't wait to add Hazel and my unborn baby in the circle.
************************************
One week later
"I swear to God Wendy you are so dead!" I cuss angrily as I dial her number and fortunately, she picks on the fourth ring.
"Fourth ring Wendy!, Fourth ring!, what were you doing?"
"Something" she says giggling. If she's with Blake, then I know just why she's giggling.
Horny creatures
"Where are you Wendy?" I still ask after all.
"At Blake's"
"And you left with the key to the apartment"
"It's my key"
"Well, you were at home when I left for the mall so I didn't see the need to take mine cuz I knew you'd be ....wait, why the hell didn't you tell me you were going to go out?"
I ask yelling. I don't even know why I'm yelling right now.
"Geez Hazel, your pregnancy hormones are all over the place, relax"
"Don't tell me to relax, I'm locked outside. How do I get it when you're a thousand miles away with the key"
" Hazel, just go over to baby daddy's house, he'll be more than happy to have you spend the night with him"
"Baby daddy as in...wait, are you going to spend the night over there?" I ask aghast.
"Yes baby, so just drive over to Klaus' house and do same, it'll be good for the baby"
"You planned this didn't you"
"Thank me later"
"I hate you"
"I love you more bestie, I've gotta go..."
"Wait!, Why are you in a haste to hang up?"
"Because...Blake and I were in the middle of something when you called"
Seriously?, They were having s*x?
"It's six pm Wendy, who has s*x at six pm?"
"Blake and I do"
"Normal people are about to cook dinner now"
"We'll just order pizza later on, besides, Blake and are crazy for each other,so you can relate"
"Are you kidding me right now?"
"Say hi to Klaus for me. Goodnight"
And the line goes dead. What do I really do with Wendy?. Now I have to go over to Klaus' house and that's something I've been avoiding the entire week .
Ugh!, Kamar really is a b***h.
I get into my car and hit the road straight to Klaus' mansion. Sometimes I wonder why he chose to live in such a mighty house, alone.
When I arrive at his house, I park my car in the driveway, get out and as I walk towards the door, I see Daisy and Klaus arguing and Daisy is in tears.
Their drama never ends.
Relationships suck!
When Klaus sees me, he hurries to me and engulfs me in a big, warm, comfortable hug. I wish I didn't have to ever let go of him.
Ugh, I hate what these pregnancy hormones are doing to me.
"Is everything alright?"
He asks concerned. This should be the six billionth time he's asking me this question this week.
"Yeah, I'm good"
"Klaus were not done talking!" Daisy yells and Klaus turns to look at her again.
"What now Daisy?"
"So you're now sleeping with your P. A?"
"Hey b***h!," I retaliate "you better watch..."
"Hussh!" Klaus puts his index finger on my lips and cajoles me to calm down "Don't stress yourself up, it's not worth it"
He says calmly as he kisses my forehead.
"Do you have any food?, I'm starving" I ask out of nowhere.
"There's some chicken casserole in the fridge"
"Good then"
I walk into the house leaving them to settle whatever issue it is they have, all I want now is good, my baby and I are starving. I open the fridge and yay!, there's a whole bowl of chicken casserole in it. I take it out and put in the microwave and after a few minutes, it's all set. I don't have time to set the table so I take my plate of food and settle on the kitchen island.
Minutes later, Klaus walks in looking totally drained. The argument with Daisy must have been a tough one.
Too much trouble for being a handsome billionaire.
"I'm sorry about what happened earlier"
"You don't have to apologise on her behalf every time"
I say rolling my eyes.
"What did I tell you about rolling your eyes?"
News flash!
Klaus has banned me from rolling my eyes while talking to him.
