A Handful of Moments
Waking up.
“Hey sweetheart…” I groan and open my eyes to find myself curled up into Alex’s side, his arms are wrapped around my tightly holding me to his chest, I smile to myself and pull myself in closer to him, it feels nice being close to somebody for once.
“Hmm?” He starts to rub my back glad to get a reaction from me.
“Rina, I can’t feel my arm.” He chuckles and wiggles it a little bit under me,
“Too bad.” I giggle groggily, I pull my head back to look up at Alex who raises an eyebrow at me and half smiles at me,
“Are you feeling better then?” He starts to lift me to a sitting position.
“A little bit.” I shrug and look down at my stomach, I can’t wrap my head around it. There’s a baby… Inside of me. “I’m still scared though Alex.” I frown and look away from him, I hear him sigh as he leans over to hug me.
“Don’t worry Rina, We’re all here for you. I’ll do everything I can to help. I don’t care if that means taking you on tour with me and staying in every night.” He chuckles, “Well, most nights.” I sigh and lean into his side,
“Alex. I’m going to be a mom.” I laugh dryly.
“You won’t be alone.” I hear a voice behind us, “Auntie Jack is here.” I turn to look at Jack who has a smirk on his face and is leaning against the steps to the railing. Matt walks down the stairs behind him and gives Alex a death stare. I glance over at Alex who shrinks back away from me.
“Morning.” Matt speaks stiffly and walks into the kitchen as he walks by.
“You know, he got back home last night with Rian, saw you two there and looked like he was about to throw another punch at the wall. This time just make it straight through.” Jack looks at the kitchen door worriedly.
“Where were you last night?” Alex sighs changing the subject,
“Slept in Rina’s room.” Jack shrugs, “Figured I better take the opportunity to sleep in her bed. Looks like Alex claimed you pretty clearly already.” Jack smirks and wiggles his eyebrows at us. I blush and look down,
“I’m going to go… uhm, get dressed.” I blush and stand up, I make my way past Jack on the stairs and close the door to the guest bedroom. I can faintly hear Alex,
“What the fucking hell Jack!” I smile to myself and get dressed in shorts and a tank top, might as well enjoy it while I can manage to look good in these. I stare in the mirror that’s leans against the wall across the room. My hair is in a huge mess around my face, my cheeks are pink and my eyes are either red from sleep or red from crying all last night.
“It’s okay Rina.” I mutter to my reflection, “Come on Rina. You can do this.” I swallow hard giving and walk over to the bathroom situating my hair and make-up I walk out of the room and walk down into the living room.
“…She’s my sister Alex.” Matt speaks quietly
“You can’t seriously smother her like this. She’s twenty-one. She’s a grown woman and can make her own dictions.” Alex is with him and sounds upset.
“You guys. Please, we can talk about this later.” Jack sounds almost panicked.
“Seriously Alex, of all of the girls throwing themselves at you.” I walk down the stairs and Matt looks over at me then frowns. “How long were you standing there?”
“Hmm?” He starts to rub my back glad to get a reaction from me.
“Rina, I can’t feel my arm.” He chuckles and wiggles it a little bit under me,
