Pulp

Chapter eighty-nine: "Pulp"

It took a long time but Juliet and Romeo managed to reach the manor. Juliet's eyes landed on me so she hurriedly reached me

Romeo carried most of the heavy stuff
They haven't announced the pregnancy yet

Lilia noticed how chirpy Juliet was and the look on Romeo's face was filled with concern and worry but there was no doubt that happiness filled in his eyes

She leaned back "Alright, spit it out loser"

Romeo turned his head to Lilia and pointed at himself. Lilia is his little sister so Romeo has the same striking blue eyes like she has

"So I have an announcement" Juliet squealed as the rest of the cousins and brothers leaned in to listen

"I'm pregnant," She said

It was hard not to laugh at their confused faces, especially Lilia who almost dropped her glass full of champagne "Excuse me, what?"

Romeo rolled his eyes at her "I'm gonna become a father you dumbass"

Lilia nodded her head "Yeah I get that but you? BECOMING A FATHER?!" she said in a state of shock
Out of everybody within our circle who heard the announcement, only Lilia was shocked that her jaw dropped

Her loud voice caught the attention of all of the adults in the room but mostly Romeo and Lilia's parents. Romeo's Dad ears perked up "What's this about becoming a father"

"Why don't you ask about becoming a grandfather?" Noah joked

Romeo's Mom knew instantly right after she checks her husband's confused expression "OH MY GOD, SHE'S PREGNANT, HONEY, SHE'S PREGNANT!!!" she shook her husband violently like she didn't know he heard it

Harper, who was Romeo's Mom twisted her head to Ava's direction where we saw her drinking something warm next to the fireplace

"Mama, I'm gonna have a grandbaby!" Harper cheered and everybody started to congratulate Juliet and Romeo

Ava sighed "I'm getting old"

Some of the adults were now tired of having their long conversations with each other, so they decided to watch Benji's reaction to their gifts with curious eyes

The only gift left unopened was mine, compared to the gifts Benjamin's relatives gave to him, mine was small but not so small that it fits the palm of his hands

His hands reached for the gift and read what I wrote on the wish tag that I tie up near the ribbon, he grinned widely
I only wrote there my best wishes for him and please handle the gift with care

Since everybody's main topic was usually about me, all of them snickered and made comments about the gift. Juliet gave me a concerned look so I returned it with a reassuring smile
Making a pregnant woman worry is bad for the baby

Lance raised a brow "A snowglobe? What can a little boy do with a snow globe?"

Cloud glared at his uncle while sitting beside me with one arm behind me laid on top of the backrest of the couch, like it was a way to project to his family that he wasn't in the mood to chat

I didn't care about their hushed mean comments because my main focus was if Benji liked my gift or not, his little green eyes shake the snow globe to make the snow inside move

In the process he found the key to play the music box that I built inside
Making that gift took me 3 weeks to make it perfect with the help of someone experienced thanks to Cloud's contacts, so it can play the music without sounding weird
