ChampagneChill
I don’t say anything
Why aren’t you happy for me?!
ChampagneChill
okay.. she says as she goes back upstairs
Your dad follows you upstairs
Dad: hey! You’re not excited?
ChampagneChill
I smile that’s great news, I’m happy for you both.
Thanks bud. But there’s something I need to talk about
ChampagneChill
raises an eyebrow And what does this have to do with me?
You’re gonna be a big brother! I thought you’d be excited
ChampagneChill
He didn’t seem too excited about the news
your dad looks at you strangely
“You’re not happy for me?”
ChampagneChill
Oh.. congratulations. I say flatly.
Your dad looks at you with a look of disappointment on his face
You don't seem excited at all
ChampagneChill
I look at them, then back to my phone. "Alright."
Dad notices your lack of enthusiasm
"Is that all you have to say? No congratulations or anything?"
ChampagneChill
I stare at him for a moment before I ask…does this mean I’m getting a brother or sister?..
your dad nods and puts his hand on your shoulder
Emily is pregnant with a baby boy!
ChampagneChill
I was in my room
your dad walks upstairs to your room and knocks on the door
ChampagneChill
gives a small smile that’s nice.
he notices that you don’t seem excited
what’s wrong? don’t you like that your stepmom is pregnant?
ChampagneChill
smiles softly That’s good to hear. Is everything okay?
Yeah Emily is just a little tired
Emily: I’m fine, it’s just morning sickness
