Shane simply took another bite of her delicious breakfast, and nodded sheepishly. Carmen slightly nudged Shane, her eyebrow lifted giving Shane the go sign. Shane turned back to Mercedes, “Miss Morales, we have some news to tell you.”Shane took a deep breath, looking at Carmen for a quick second as Carmen told the news. “I’m pregnant!”

Mercedes immediately stood up running to hug her daughter. She tightly embraces Carmen, then proceeds to pull Shane into the hug, Mercedes having streams of tears rolling down her round face. “Oh! My baby is having a baby!”

“When are you guys going to tell the rest of your friends?”

“Um…” Shane was contemplating lying, but somehow knew it would only make the matter worse at the end, “We’ve already told them.”

“Before me?!” The expression of shock clearly embedded in Mercedes face. “The grandmamma should always know first!”

“We’re sorry mami, but we just saw them first. We had a dinner planned with them, so we decided to tell them.” Carmen explained calmly while Shane hid slightly behind Carmen.

“Okay, I understand. This time. Okay? Next time I get very angry.” Mercedes kidded, walking past the couple placing a small slap into Shane’s cheek, causing the lanky girl to tense. The only noise heard coming from the home was the mother’s loud booming laughter.

-End Flashback-

“Alice, stop staring at my wife” Shane scolded her.

“I’m just waiting for her to actually chew instead of gobble all the food. Or maybe I’m waiting to see if she’ll eat the plate!” Alice said drastically.

“For your information Alice,” Shane began to inform her friend as Mercedes watched on with joyful eyes, mirroring those of her daughter who continued to ‘gobble’ up her food, “my wife has the perfect appetite for a pregnant woman so cut it.”

“Okay okay,” Alice holds her hands up in surrender.

Shane gets a phone call; she gets up to answer it. “Hey!” Shane’s voice immediately cheers up. “Yeah I can be there  in like 10 minutes.” Shane hangs up the phone, “Babe I got some plans with Molly, I’ll see you for dinner okay.” Shane kisses Carmen in the lips quickly, giving her goodbyes to the women before quickly leaving.

“What the hell was that about?” Alice asked.
