A Tongue Like a Nightmare That Cut Like a Blade

A month had past, and Aurora still wasn’t talking to anyone. She was talking to Alex though whenever they were alone together which was every night since they were sleeping in the same bunk now. The couple had grown close, but they actually had not made their relationship public. Aurora rarely left the bus, and everyone knew that she was there to help take care of her niece, so the fans didn’t suspect a thing. In fact, everyone, except for Jack and Alesia, didn’t find out ‘til a week later when Aurora kissed Alex on the cheek when he got her a necklace with a bird on it. He had been shopping with Alesia and Jack that day, and he had to get it for her when he saw it.
Aurora was currently wearing the necklace like she always does. The autumn haired girl went over to her cousin who was in the back with her daughter in her arms. The three of them were the only ones on the bus since All Time Low was currently on stage.
“Hi,” she signed when she sat down next Alesia.
“Hey,” Alesia smiled.
“I need to talk to you about something.”
“And what would that be?”
“Well... the night before Alex asked me to be his girlfriend, we... slept together...”
“And?”
“I think I might be pregnant. I’ve been sick every morning.”
“Alex told Jack that day. We had a friend pick up a test, and we’ve been holding it since just in case. It’s in my bunk, let me get it.”
Alesia gave Jasmine to Aurora and went out of the room. Aurora held Jasmine and just thought of what it would be like to have her own child. She liked taking care of Jasmine. Although Jasmine wasn’t a screamer, when she did it did not bother her. She also didn’t mind changer her and feeding her if she had to. She liked it.
Aurora could just imagine what their kid would look like. She would want to have a little girl. Her hair would be red and brown and her eyes would be like caramel. She have dimples on her cute cheeks, and she’d love to sing. They would sing all the time together. Her daughter would actually be happy too. Her life wouldn’t be messed up from tragedies.
“Mommy! Mommy! I learned a new song on guitar!” The little girl said as she ran up to her mother.
“That’s great sweetie.” Aurora gave her a big hug and a kiss on her forehead. “Why don’t you play it for daddy and I in the living room after dinner?”
“Ok!”
“It’s time to eat now. Why don’t you go get daddy?”
The 8-year old rushes out of the room. When she comes back, her hand is in her father’s. The two of them sit down at the table as Aurora sets the plates down with food on them.
“How was school today?” Alex asked before taking a bite.
“It was really good. There was a new kid today, and I made friends with him. He’s from England, and he sounds funny.”
“Did I ever tell you that I’m from England?”
“Really? That’s so cool! I can’t wait to tell him. Maybe he can come over this weekend, and we can all go to the park together.”
“If his parents are ok with it, then he can.”
“Yay! I’ll invite Jasmine too. That way he can make another friend.”
“Did she tell you that she learned a new song?” Aurora asked Alex.
“No, she didn’t.”
“I learned one of your songs, daddy.”
“You’re going to have to perform it for me after we eat.”
“I will.”
Aurora was able to see it all in her head. The thought of it all brought a smile to her face. Alesia came back and gave the test to her cousin. Aurora took it in the bathroom and did her thing. While she waited, she thought about what would happen again.
“Higher! Higher!” the little girl calls as her father pushes her on the swing on the local park.
Alex laughed. “If I push it higher, you’ll go flying off. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“No, I’ll fly to Neverland!”
The family hang out all day until it was time for them to go out to eat. Everything was perfect.
The time finally ends, and Aurora looks at the test...
