Dear Friend,
I know you have received three letter today, and this will most likely be the last.
I just feel like I need to write right now.
Everyone is having a hard time dealing with the loss of mom.
Abigail came over to cheer Stefan up and console him.
I wish there was a way to console dad and make him feel better. Something tells me he won't be okay until he is back with mom, and I can tell you that this family can't lose him any time soon. I don't think we will survive losing two parents in one day.
"Come on Margaret! What are you doing?" Lucas asked.
"I'm cleaning!" She sobbed.
"Take a break from cleaning, you're upset!" He told her.
"No, I need something to keep me busy!" She cried walking upstairs.
Lucas followed her still trying to get her to stay in one place, I knew how she felt. I needed to keep busy too or else I was going to lose it.
I sat on the deck and looked at the sky, it's strange but I could feel mom sitting next to me.
I began to think about what she said, she told me just before she died that she wanted me to find a guy and get married. She wanted to make sure I wouldn't be alone for the rest of my life even if I had the family.
So I made a decision, a big decision.
I decided, by myself and not telling the family, that I wanted a baby.
I know that wasn't exactly what mom meant, she wanted me to find a guy. But a lot of people raised children by themselves right? It wasn't like we were broke, we had the money and support I need to raise a baby by myself. All it took was one pill and hopefully I would be pregnant.
(I know, this isn't how babies by yourself )A couple days passed and dad seemed to be handling losing the love of his life pretty well. Maybe he was just putting up a strong front for all of his children.
"I'm gaining weight." I sighed.
"Have you ate a lot?" Margaret asked.
"No, I can't think of what it could be." I said.
"Maybe your pregnant." She joked.
When I didn't laugh she looked at me funny.
"... Are you?" She asked.
"I think I am." I told her.
"Who's the father?!" She gasped.
"I don't know." I said.
"You don't know?! How do you not know?!" She screamed.
"SHH!!!" I snapped.
"Sorry." She said.
"I took a pill, I'm doing this by myself." I told her.
She was shocked, but she said would support me one hundred percent.
I officially found out when I was working out.
I was pregnant.
The nerves set in, did I do the right thing? Or was it out of grief? I talked myself out of it though, of course it was the right thing to do. I've always wanted a baby.
"Dad?" I called.
"In here!" He said.
I walked into the bathroom.
"I have something to tell you." I said.
I explained the whole thing and told him that I was pregnant.
He was thrilled!
"Another grand baby! If only your mother was here, she will miss seeing her second grandchild." He whispered before walking out.
I hadn't thought of that.
Hello break down.
"Are you sure you want to sleep in grandpa's bed?" I heard Lucas ask.
I looked up from my hands.
"Yeah, I want to sleep where grandma slept." Alex said.
I walked out of the bathroom.
"Okay." Lucas said.
"Lucas." I choked out.
He looked up.
"Sarah." He whispered.
He kissed Alex's head, "I have to talk to Aunt Sarah, we'll read another night."
He stood up.
"Everything okay?" He asked.
"Okay, everything isn't okay." He said rubbing my back as I cried.
"I miss mom!" I cried.
"We all do Sarah." He whispered.
"She won't be here to see my baby." I sobbed.
"Baby?" He asked.
I told him everything.
"Oh Sarah! That's wonderful!" He said.
Everyone was happy for me, and I hoped that mom would be happy for me. I hope you are happy for me.
I hope that everything will be okay.
Love always,
Sarah
