Chapter 55 - CHAPTER FIFTY SIX

"Abby hurry up, we have to get in fast." Kelly commanded when they reached the door of the mansion. Ellen rushed in before Abby could reply so she kept mute and entered the house. "Oh, there you are. I've been calling you, why are you not answering my calls?" Elena met her daughter with questions without allowing her to greet first. "I'm sorry mom, I was just by the gate when you called. I'm sorry I didn't answer." Ellen apologized with a soft voice that sounded like she was about to cry. Her grandparents and parents were all at the hall, with Jessica shedding tears which alarmed Ellen. "Good afternoon, everyone", Kelly greeted to ease the ambiance a little. "Elena calm down, she didn't mean any harm. Don't ruin her mood for the news we have for her. Good afternoon, ladies, how are you?" Aaron defended and responded to their greetings. "We're fine please". The girls responded in unison. "Grandma, why are you crying please?" Ellen asked her grandma with caution. "Oh my dear, don't worry. These are tears of joy." Jessica assured, drawing her into an embrace. "I don't understand what's going on." Ellen said in confusion. "What's going on is that your days as an only child are numbered, Amma." Her mother explained with a smile. "What do you mean?" Ellen asked with intrigue. "Jesus, how is this girl the best in school when she's this clueless? Read the room Elle, you are about to be a big sister. I pity your sibling already, congratulations aunty, uncle." Kelly said with ecstasy and went to hug Aaron and Elena before she could stop herself. "Congratulations aunty, uncle. I'm really happy for you." Abby congratulated. "Wait. You're expecting? (Elena nods with a smile.) I'm going to have a baby brother?" Ellen asked with joy. "Or a baby sister, but yes sweetheart, you are going to be an elder sister." Elena replied and Ellen rushed to hug her parents with tears. "I can't believe this. Oh my God. This is the best news ever!" She exclaimed as she hugged her parents. "I concur." Jessica said, joining in the hug with Ben behind her. The ambiance in the mansion turned merry, as the Clarkes arrived to partake in the celebration for the expectation of the next Wilson baby. Aaron had ordered a feast to be prepared among them as the closest allies of the family, but in hushed tones as Elena didn't want anyone finding out about her condition till, she was sure there will be a delivery. She still had fears of losing this baby too, and Aaron had to convince her really hard before even the Clarkes were told about it, although George and Chris knew already, since they were at the hospital. The girls were still there as Stephanie joined them in celebration. "Congratulations Elle. I'm sure you'll be a great sister." Steph greeted and Ellen hugged her with a smile. "Looks like they made up." Kelly whispered to Abby with a smile. "You are so harsh and heartless Kelly." Abby feigned complaint. "Heartless, seriously? How can I love you if I'm heartless." Kelly defended, blowing Abby a kiss and they roared with laughter. "What are you two blubbering about?" A confused Steph asked while Ellen blushed. "Oh, you missed such a romantic afternoon today…" Kelly proceeded to explain the events of the day to Steph, who listened with intrigue. "I see. Wow, he wants you huh? Hope you know that was a cryptic message?" Steph commented, looking at Ellen. "Stephanie please, I don't want us to have an issue again. Let's just drop conversations about this if it will end in you scaring me with no basis." Ellen pleaded, getting annoyed. "Sure. I don't want us to have an issue either. I'm just looking out for you, but I won't scare you anymore. I'm happy you are happy. That's all." Steph said with a smile. "Great. Let's go for dinner, my mom is pregnant!" Ellen exclaimed excitedly and took the lead. 'Well, you can't advise a girl in love.' Steph thought as she followed them. "Do you really think Henry is playing her?" Abby asked with concern. "I don't know Abby, but for her sake, I hope not." Stephanie replied.
