Strawberry Cupcake

Chapter one hundred thirteen: "Strawberry Cupcake"

My hands are shaking

"Oh come in Penelope! What's so hard to tell Cloud that you're pregnant?" Juliet asked me as she looks up at me after watching videos on her phone

"That's not the problem Juls, Cloud might be doing something important like a test or something"
Nah, I'm just nervous about his reaction to this unexpected news. The timing was a bit different

Romeo sets down his phone after typing "Done" he spoke a loud before going to the kitchen to grab a drink

I narrowed my eyes at him "What's done?"

He twisted his head at me while drinking water from the bottle, after finishing almost half the bottle with a breather he answered me "Cloud, I messaged him that you miss him but you're too shy"

I stood up quickly "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" then I proceeded to walk around the living room while fiddling my hands
No, no, no

This is Cloud we're talking about, if he got the news that I miss him then he would come here quickly within a heartbeat. The guy has a family jet so he can run to my side without any obstacle in his way

"Cloud would be here in a few hours" Natalie spoke which was not helping my worries, she saw me walking around like a lunatic "Sis if you keep doing that then it's not good for the baby"

Her words made me stop what I did
Oh right, I'm carrying me and Cloud's baby

My head raised to look at them "But what about Mom and Dad? Our sisters? My future in-laws?"
Don't want Sophia to faint from shock about the news

Tapping my fingertips against my lips, I thought for a moment. The only person I could think of that I think wouldn't faint or even be surprised by what he knew is...

"Alice" I mumbled under my breath

All three of them looked at me "What?" Juliet asked

"Alice, I should call her," I said while calling her on the phone
If there is anyone who knows how to handle a situation like this it's her

"Well isn't this the future Mrs. Marshall, what's up?" she picked up the call and decided to tease me a bit

"Uh.." my eyes darted in any direction in the room "Can you visit the penthouse? It's urgent"

"Urgent? Why?"

"Just come, please?"

A moment of silence started but it was short "Ok, I'm on my way. You don't mind I'll bring Mace right?"

"Sure, sure. Thanks"

Alice ended the call and I can assume she's on her way to me right now while bringing baby Mace. Natalie urged me to sit down but the nervousness in my veins kept making me stand up and walk around again

Too much nervousness made my stomach rumble
I'm hungry, again

An image formed in my mind and it was a cupcake, a strawberry one to be precise. Of course, they have ears so they heard my stomach rumble
It would be too much to ask them about the cupcake since they did help me

Juliet giggled at me "Alright, what's the cravings this time?"

I bit my bottom lip and look at my feet "Cupcake, a strawberry cupcake. The one where there are strawberry bits inside" I talk and almost drooled at the thought of it

"A strawberry cupcake at this hour? Does any of you know how to bake?" Natalie asked the couple sitting on the couch in front of her. Both of them shook their heads
