”Morning” Jess said sitting on the living room Sofa
”Morning, it’s 12 in the afternoon” Mason smirked
”Baby why you away?” Jess asked Carmen
”I couldn’t sleep so Lisa helped me through here and me and Mason have just watched the polar express”
”Oh how exciting” Jess yawned
”Did you sleep okay?”
”Yeah, was good to have you beside me” Jess smiled ”What about you?”
”Not really my legs are really sore”
”Let me rub them” Jess suggested getting up and lifting Carmen’s legs then sitting back down
”Jess…Lisa was looking for you this morning” Mason said ”She looked stressed”
”Where is she?”
”Her and Jace just jumped out” Carmen said ”Said they won’t be long”
”Oh okay” Jess smiled ”Mason what do you want to go see tonight?”
”Get Santa…supposed to be great” Mason smiled ”Can we go ice skating like always?”
”Not this year buddy” Jess sighed
”Opps sorry I didn’t think” Mason said
”You guys can all go, I don’t mind” Carmen smiled
”No won’t be the same without you” Mason said ”It’s okay”
Jace and Lisa walked in the door, Lisa ran straight up the stairs.
”What the hell? Have you fallen out?” Jess asked
”Nope she needs the toilet” Jace explained going up the stairs
”She was throwing up this morning” Mason said ”Don’t think she’s feeling great”
”Hungover more like” Jess laughed
Bette and Tina walked in the door both looking tired.
Bette took the bags straight upstairs to her bedroom.
”Hi Mama can you do me a favour and tell Jess I need to speak to her” Lisa said coming out the bathroom
”Why can’t you?” Bette asked
”I’m not going downstairs you are” Lisa said tears forming in her eyes
”Lisa whats wrong?”
”Nothing I just want to speak to my sister” Lisa said
”Ok” Bette said going downstairs ”Jess Lisa wants to speak to you”
”Ok give me a minute”
”No now, she’s upset about something” Bette said
”Ok” Jess said getting up and going upstairs
Jace sat on the age of the bed.
”Where is she?” Jess asked
”The bathroom”
Jess left the room and knocked on the bathroom door ”Lis it’s me”
Lisa opened the door and let herself fall into Jess’s arms. ”Wow what’s wrong?”
”Mum and Mama are going to kill me”
”Why what you done? Did you crash your car? I’m confused?”
Lisa picked up the pregnancy test she had just done and showed Jess
”Shit” Jess said eyes wide open ”I’m fully awake now”
”What am I going to do? I’m 23” Lisa stated
”You should have put a bloody cover on it then you idiot” Jess snapped making Lisa worse ”Ignore that I didn’t mean that…look it will be fine Mum and Mama will understand, your married so it’s not like it’s out of wedlock or whatever”
”I’m on the pill I don’t get this”
”Does Jace know?”
”He knows I might be he took me this morning to get a test” Lisa said
”Okay you need to go to the doctors and get a blood test to confirm it” Jess stated then well figure out what to do
”Jess please don’t tell any of them, even Carmen” Lisa stated ”Can you come with me to the doctors?”
”Okay I promise” Jess hugged her sister ”Yes let me just go get dressed then well go”
Jess ran downstairs and through to her side of the house. She quickly got changed.
Lisa walked downstairs lifting her car keys
”You okay?” Carmen asked
”Okay let’s go… we wont be long…okay bye” Jess said pullng Lisa out the door
”Okay what is going on?” Tina asked
”Beats me” Mason stated going back to watching the TV
”What just happened” Carmen asked confused
”JACE!” Bette shouted
Jace walked down the stairs
”Spill what’s wrong with Lisa? Why you hiding? Have you both had a fight?”
”Not exactly”
”Then what?” Tina asked
”I can’t tell you they will both kill me”
”Listen I will kill you if you don’t start talking and I make Jess and Lisa look like puppies” Bette glared
Carmen smirked at the look of sheer horror on Jace’s face
”Jace you should know by now when it concerns our girl’s secrecy doesn’t work”
”Jess and Lisa keep secrets”
”We don’t scare them, you on the other hand”
”Yeah you look like your about to wet yourself” Mason stated making Carmen choke on her tea
”I think Lisa might be pregnant, They’re away to get a blood test done” Jace said
”Do you know what, I think my room needs tidied” Mason said getting up and going up the stairs
”I wish I could run never mind walk at this moment” Carmen muttered
”Explain!” Tina stated
”I’m sure you know how it bloody works Tina” Bette snapped
”I thought she was on the pill, so I don’t know how this happened” Jace sat down putting his hands in his head
Bette sat down as did Tina.
”No point stressing till we know for definite” Bette sighed
”If she is?” Tina said
”Then we’ll need to deal with it, It’s not going to change anything” Jace stated ”I love her, I’m married to her, I’d like to be a dad, I just didn’t expect it this soon”
”No neither did we” Bette sighed
Jess and Lisa walked back into the house.
Everyone looked at them.
”You told them?” Lisa asked
”I had too”
”Yeah he had too, your Mum and Mama tag teamed and he nearly pissed himself according to Mason” Carmen stated
”So?” Bette asked
Lisa looked at them then ran up the stairs. Jace go up following her
”She’s 9 weeks” Jess told them
Bette ran her hands through her hair. Tina got up and went into the kitchen. Jess sat back down on the sofa beside Carmen.
”Mama she’s really scared and just wants a cuddle” Jess said
Bette got up going into the Kitchen ”You okay?”
”Yes I’m just thinking about what to say to her”
”Let’s go see her” Bette said
Bette and Tina walked upstairs and knocked on Lisa’s bedroom door
Jace opened the door and let them in
Bette lay on the bed beside Lisa and pulled her into her arms. ”Time to grow up Lisa”
”I don’t get it, I was on the pill, I’m not ready Mama, and he’s certainly not ready”
”Sorry?” Jace asked
”Your never bloody here…I don’t want my child growing up when their dad isn’t around”
Jace looked at Lisa, He went to talk but nothing came out.
”Lisa that’s not true and you know that” Tina sighed
Jace left the room
”That was harsh Lisa” Lisa stated
”It’s the truth Mama, He’s always on tour, or in the studio or whatever”
”You’ve never had any issues with that, he always comes home to you”
”I don’t want my child to have an absent parent” Lisa stated
”I’m sure that’s not going to happen, if I know Jace…” Tina began
”It happened with me and Jess you were never here…infact you went away for months at a time” Lisa snapped ”I don’t want that for my child”
”Lisa that’s extremely unfair” Tina said ”It killed me being apart from you guys”
”It didn’t bloody stop you though!” Lisa stated
”That was 2 year out of your life Lisa…Your Mum has always been there, ALWAYS!” Bette stated ”If your or Jess were sick she was on the first flight home, she worked all those hours to make sure you and Jess had everything you wanted and needed as did I”
”I’m scared, I’m absolutely terrified” Lisa cried
”Come here” Tina said pulling Lisa into her arms ”It’s going to be okay, well deal with it and hold your hand all the way”
