FAMICS APARTMENT
“Married!” Anna exclaimed smiling broadly.
“I didn’t have water in my mouth the first time.” Ivory rolled her eyes at Anna.
“Shouldn’t you be happy for her?” Fiona furrowed her brows.
“I am happy for her. It just came as a shock especially when she told me she’s pregnant.” Ivory sighed and for that moment it was as if an angel of silence had pass by. Everyone looked at Ivory with widened eyes. They were all astonished.
“She..she’s pregnant too?” Maeve stuttered a bit.
“I also didn’t have water in my mouth while saying it the first time.” Ivory sighed, closing her eyes for a brief moment.
“And you said this man already has a kid?” Swayer pitched in.
“Yes, a son with his ex wife.” Ivory frowned.
“And why would he leave his ex wife when they have a son?” Fiona asked sitting next to Chrystal who’s been quiet.
“I never got to ask though. My point is Aunt Gina should not be keeping these things away from me! I’m not a kid anymore and I deserve to know when she’s in a romantic relationship. How could she not tell me she’s pregnant up until now!” Ivory fumed.
“I don’t remember you ever being her mother.” Chrystal finally joined the conversation.
“For a moment there I thought you were sick because it’s so unlike you not to say anything.” Anna chuckled.
“If she’s happy with him then you should be too.” Swayer smiled.
“If he can leave his wife that had a son for him, what makes you think he can’t or won’t leave Aunt Gina? I don’t want her to get hurt.” Ivory frowned.
“You said it yourself, you don’t know the reason they separated so don’t jump into conclusions.” Anna said going into the kitchen. She came back later with six glass of pineapple juice.
“Thanks Anna.” Swayer smiled as Anna handed her a glass first before giving the rest.
“I heard the exam scores are coming out tomorrow morning. I’m so excited.” Anna said after giving everyone their glass.
“What about Evan? He can’t possibly stay here all by himself.” Swayer said and Anna suddenly remembered she had a little demon in this house. She glanced around the living room but he wasn’t there.
“Ha..have you seen him today?” Anna asked dropping her glass on the table.
“Worse babysitter ever. You don’t even know where he is?” Chrystal laughed but suddenly choked on her juice. Anna smirked, leaving the living room to look for Evan.
“What about your cousins?” Swayer faced Maeve.
“They’ll be showing up this afternoon.” Maeve replied dryly.
“I suddenly feel bored these days. Nothing exciting happens anymore.” Fiona groaned, hitting the sofa slightly.
“Me too.” Swayer pouted her lips.
“Should we go out? Ethan is having a party tonight.” Chrystal smirked.
“I don’t know about that.” Swayer frowned.
“Come on Swayer. This is the first month of resumption and after the competition, classes will be everyday with little time for ourselves.” Maeve made a puppy face.
“You are aware Kyle’s gonna be there right?” Swayer smirked and Maeve rolled her eyes.
“Who cares about that jerk. Just say yes Swayer.” Maeve smiled, carrying a pleading look at the same time.
Swayer sighed, opening her mouth to reply when the doorbell rang. She got up immediately, walking towards the door to see whose there.
“Faby!” Swayer exclaimed, hugging Fabiola. “I was beginning to wonder when you’ll show up.” She added, closing the door after Fabiola had come in.
“Hey you.” Maeve smiled at her.
“Did I miss something?” Fabiola furrowed her brows, looking at their sitting pattern, like they were having a meeting.
“We were just trying to find a solution to our boredom.” Fiona laughed.
“Would you be interested in going to a party tonight?” Chrystal asked and Fabiola faced her in shock.
“Did..did you just invite me…me to-” Fabiola couldn’t even finish her sentence. Chrystal has been shocking her with her actions these days.
“I don’t know why y’all act surprised when I try to be nice. I’m not a monster.” Chrystal frowned.
“You are not a monster but it’s unlike you to… nevermind.” Swayer chuckled.
“Are you going to the party?” Fabiola asked Swayer.
“Only if you’re going.” Swayer smiled.
“It’s a date then.” Fabiola winked, leaving the living room and going into her room.
Anna entered the room with a frown on her face.
“That little demon!” She kissed her teeth.
“Huh?” Maeve looked at her.
“He’s been playing me all these while. I basically searched this entire house just to find him hiding under the bed.” Anna sighed falling heavily on the couch.
“I actually feel bad for him. He’s surrounded by adults and no kids his age. I think he’s also bored.” Fiona said.
“Anna party at Ethan’s tonight?” Chrystal asked her.
“Cool but I have to watch over Evan.” Anna sighed.
“I think I’ll get going now. I’ll meet y’all at 7.” Swayer said standing up.
“Should I come with?” Fiona asked as she knew Swayer was going to the hospital. She hoped to see Logan there.
“Sure.” Swayer smiled, grabbing her keys.
**
Fabiola sighed, brushing her hair. She had just finished having her bath. Her phone buzzed and she picked it up smiling. It’s a video call from Sebastian.
“Baby.” She smiled bringing the phone to her face.
“Just checking up on you. Hope they’re treating you well?” Seb asked like a worried mother.
“Of course. They are the best. Swayer especially.” Fabiola winked at him
“I want us to visit home tomorrow or next. Which is okay for you?”
“Umm tomorrow sounds great.” Fabiola smiled.
“You be good then. Love you.” Sebastian smiled and ended the call before she could respond.
Fabiola shook her head, dropping her phone and resumed brushing her hair.
MODALE SPECIAL HEALTH CARE
Swayer smiled upon opening the door. Her father is being fed by her mother.
“Daddy.” Swayer smiled, going over to hug him. He still had the bandage on his eyes as another dose of the medicine had been injected. They would also give him glasses after removing this one.
“Sweetheart. I’ve missed you.” Kings smiled, stroking her hair.
“Good day Mr D’vile, good day Mrs Marshall.” Fiona greeted. She surveyed the room with her eyes but didn’t see Logan.
“And who is that? One of your friends?” Kings asked breaking the hug.
“Nice to see you again dear. This is Fiona.” Rose said to her husband.
“It’s a pleasure Fiona. Please come again after my bandages are off. I haven’t had the opportunity to meet my daughter’s friends.” Kings said smiling slightly.
“She definitely will even if it means me dragging her butt over here.” Swayer chuckled and Fiona laughed lightly.
“I’ll let you finish up here dad. Where’s Logan?” Swayer asked and Fiona faced her immediately. She had that same question going through her mind.
“He left not long ago but not out of the hospital. He’ll be back soon enough.” Rose said as she resumed feeding her husband.
Swayer nodded, walking close to her mom. She kissed her hair, smiling at her.
“Take care of him mummy. I may not visit again till after the quiz.” Swayer smiled.
“Have you seen the results?” Rose paused.
“Tomorrow.”
“And you’re gonna be first place this time right?” Rose frowned slightly. She didn’t like the idea of someone topping her daughter.
“I..I don’t know-”
“What do you mean you don’t know? I thought we talked about this. You can’t fall second place again Swayer!” Rose yelled.
“I can’t predict what will happen. Sebastian is a smart-”
“I don’t care Swayer. If you fall in second again, you know what will happen right?” Rose frowned.
“Stop being too hard on her. She’s already one hell of a brilliant young lady.” Kings intervened.
“Oh so now you think I’m being hard on her? You’re the one who left me to raise two kids all by myself!” Rose suddenly flared up.
“Honey not here please. I’m just saying-”
“You’re just saying nothing! Don’t tell me how to raise my daughter kings!” Rose yelled.
“She’s my daughter too!” Kings retorted breathing heavily.
“I thought you two were over this? Why still fighting over little issues?” Swayer asked, tears threatening to fall down. Each time her father would come back, she would always here them arguing and it’s really annoying as they were acting like children where they’re supposed to be adults.
Rose sighed, dropping the food flask on the side table.
“Just make sure you don’t get in second place.” She said, obviously ending the discussion.
Fiona grabbed Swayers arm, pulling her out of the room before she could even say anything.
Rose faced Kings the moment they left. She picked up the food flask and placed it on his laps.
“You can feed yourself.” She said glaring at him. She stood up, picking up her bag and left the room as well.
†
Swayer sat at the lobby while Fiona went to get them a drink to cool off steam.
She felt bad for Swayer but that’s not what bothered her the most. It was the comment Mrs Marshall made that got to her.
“If you fall in second again, you know what will happen right?” She recalled.
“What exactly did she mean by that?” She asked herself, putting a coin in the vendor machine.
“Why are you talking to yourself?” Logan asked putting his arms in his pocket. He is standing behind her.
Fiona smiled sheepishly before keeping a straight face and turning around.
“Hey, Logan.” She smiled at him.
