Shattered

Jealous

Moments after Elizabeth gave birth, we were called in.

She gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Her name is Jasmine Riley Hart. We all, Charlotte and I, stand by the bed and watch Mrs Hart play with the child. Nathan is getting snacks for me.

Nathan walks back into the room.

Mrs Hart hands Nathan the baby to Nathan.

A smile spreads on his face when he plays with the little girl. The girl opens her eyes and reveals the most beautiful blues.

Mrs Hart, Nathan and Elizabeth coo.

Charlotte and I just stare at them. She turns to me and smirks suggestively .

I just roll my eyes.

A pang of jealousy hits my chest as I stare at the pair. They look like a happy family. And I feel intrusive.

"Char let's go." I tell her. But it seems Nate heard.

"What why?" He asks.

"We've got to pack, we're leaving first thing tomorrow. " I say. It's not completely a lie but it isnt a full truth though.

"Oh, okay." He simply says.

Charlotte and I wave ourselves out. I fiddle with the keys as we walk out of the hospital.

The Rolls Royce is waiting for us.

Charlotte sits in the car as I drive. I dont usually drive because I hate having to focus  so much, I prefer actually prefer looking out the window and sleeping.

We reach the house in utter silence. This is the first time ever. Char is usually a talkative piece.

We walk in and she sighs. Now I know that she wants to say something.

"What?" It comes out angrier than I anticipated.

"I just never thought I'd ever see you jealous." She says chuckling.

I huff and roll my eyes. Of course she noticed.

"Shut your face." I say and she chuckles.

We spend about two hours making dinner, eating it and then packing up.

"Ethan has a sleep over." She says as she boxes the last of my duvets.

"Oh where?" I ask.

She smiles at me. She tried not to wail when Ethan said he isnt riding with us.

"Ricky's.  It's Tyler's relative." She says smiling at the sound of his name.

"Oh, is that Roxy's son?" I ask and she widens her eyes in surprise. But nods anyway.

"How'd you know?" She asks smiling.

"Well, Tyler and I were friends back in college." I say smiling.

She nods. Then she sighs looking defeated.

"What's wrong?" I ask crumbling down next to her.

"Nothing. It's just, I'm..." she starts but stops.

"You're what? Pregnant?" I ask and she jumps so fast to deny it.

"No! No, I'm not pregnant. I'm inlove with Tyler." She says.

"Oh, then why do you look so disapproving?" I ask. And she runs her hand through her blond hair.

"Because I dont know if he feels the same." She says sighing.

"Honey, you'll never know if you dont try." I tell her.

She nods.

"I'll go for a sleep over at his place and we'll talk about. Damn I'm nervous." She sighs breathlessly.
