Why?????????????????????????????????????????
Marie had gotten her car unloaded and immediatly went to work on making dessert. She had no idea what she was going to make she just bought alot of things so she could prepare everything. An hour had passed and Brandon walked into the kitchen, Marie what's going on Marie turned around stirring the cake mix. I am making dessert Brandon laughed. Marie let me help you, No! i don't need your help i just want to do this by myself. Okay what should i do then? Did you call everyone and tell them about dinner tonight? Yes i did that before I got home Marie we are meeting them at chef's for dinner and we are having dessert here. Marie turned around really were going to chef's for dinner. Brandon nodded his head, yep I thought it would be a nice dinner for the whole family. Brandon opened the fridge, I see you went shopping. Yes I did you will never guess how much everything was. Do I want to know? I think you should know Marie smiled. Okay just tell me! All togather everything cost two hundrred and fifty dollars. Brandon's mouth dropped, but i had alot of coupons so everything was fifty dollars. Brandon went over and hugged Marie I am so glad you saved that much money I would be really upset if we went broke. Marie let go of Brandon is everything ok at work? Everything is great. Then whats the problem I thought we were kinda rich. We just don't know how much everything is going to cost Marie. What do you mean we have a great budget and we have alot to spend. Marie I know but i want are kid to not be spoiled and we really don't know what's going to happen with your cancer and the baby Marie put her head down Brandon lifted her head I want you to live Marie so i am going to be very cautious with everything. Brandon I don't want to talk about this anymore it's over and done with I love you and I love are baby and I love you both so much more then my own life. Marie walked away put the cake into a pan and set the oven and put the cake in. Marie walked up the stairs to her room Brandon watched her walk away.They didn't talk until it was time for them to meet the family at the restaurant. The car ride there was awkward Marie wanted to tell Brandon that she was so scared about everything but she couldn't, everything was so messed up already how could she do that to him how could she tell him the truth. They finally got to Chefs Marie was about to step out of the car when Brandon grabbed her hand. Marie I am sorry I am just scared and I love you so much I don't want to lose you ever. Marie put her finger on Brandon's lips lets just forget about this whole argument. Brandon smiled agreed. Brandon hugged Marie, the sooner we tell everyone the better we will be. Brandon said, Marie rolled her eyes she was not certain how to tell her mother that she was Dying and that she was pregnant. They walked inside the restuarant hand in hand everyone was waiting for them inside. Brandon my boy we have been waiting here for fifteen minutes Brandon gave his dad a hug sorry mom and dad we lost track of time. Marie darling, mom I have missed you luckily I am in town this month visiting your grandmother. Oh how is gran doing does she finally get to go home? The doctors said they are hoping very soon her attitude is effecting everyone at the hospital. Marie laughed. Marie do we get a hug Marie smiled how could I not give my favorite in laws a hug they all gave everyone a hug. Brandon gave Marie's mom Shani a hug thanks for coming mom your welcome. So why don't we order, all right everyone take a seat Brandon and Marie sat by eachother Shani sat by Marie and Howard and Jaylene (Brandon's parents) sat by brandon. They ordered there food and began talking so how are you kids doing? well dad I made a big investment deal for the company. What does that mean? It means that I have made more money let me refrase that i made alot of money more money that Ihave ever in my life time made. Shani and Marie we not paying attention they were talking about other things. Brandon Howard Jaylene will you excuse me and my mom for a moment. Jaylene's eyes lit up Marie you always have the best manners go ahead we will be here when you get back. Marie smiled and left the table following behind her mom. Marie are you ok? Yes mom I am fine I am just Marie's eyes began to fill with tears. Darling Shani hugged her helpless daughter Whats wrong my child, whats going on why are you crying it's nothing mom. Marie I know you why are you crying? Marie couldn't tell her mom the truth not in the restroom she quickly thought of a little lie. I have just missed you so much mom I mean it's been since the funeral since I last saw you. I know darling but with your father gone I have been struggling that cancer hit him so fast we didn't have anytime to get treatments. I'm sorry mom lets go back in there and eat I am starving they walked out of the bathroom and back at the table Brandon could see that Marie had been crying Brandon reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. Marie felt her phone vibrate so she pulled it out of her purse it was a text from Brandon asking if everything was okay and if she told her mom about everything. Marie texted back. everything is fine. Brandon put his phone away. So Marie how is being a stay at wife/ painter working out Howard asked? We'll Howard things are actually going good I sold a painting a week ago. Brandon looked at Marie you never told me that. That's where I got money for all the grociers that i bought today. What was the paingting Jaylene asked? It was of a women holding a little girl in a red dress on her lap in a swing swining togather. Wow Marie how much did you sale it for? I sold it for two hundred and fifty dollars. Oh my gosh that is impressive Marie smiled thankyou there food finally came they ate and talked about everything except the secret that Marie and Brandon shared. So whats for dessert howard asked?

We will all follow you Brandon. great pops lets go they all got in there cars and Followed Brandon to there house. Marie why were you crying? Marie turned to Brandon I just miss my mom and dad i guess, You guess? My mom is so miserable I think she needs to move back home. What do you mean back home? The house by us is for sale and I really miss my mom Brandon and since I am sure she will want to take care of me while i'm pregnant it would be easier if she lived close. Were home Brandon was relieved he really didn't want his mother in law living right next door he loved Marie's mom but he didn't want what Marie was thinking about. They pulled into the driveway got out of the car. Lets go inside son your mother is shivering, Brandon unlocked the door walked inside and turned on the light, here you go dad come on in and eveyone sit down and relax. Marie walked into the kitchen got the chocolate vanilla frosted cake cut and put on paper plates. Brandon dished out the icecream put it with the cake and served everyone Marie covered up the cake and tried to procrastinate so she wouldn't hsve to tell them about the cancer, Marie come on i'm coming Honey, Marie was so nervous her palms were getting really sweaty her heart was racing faster and faster to the point was all she could hear was her heart pounding. She finally made it next to Brandon. Mom dad Shani,we have something to tell you, what is it kids is everything okay? Everything is fine Marie will tell you Brandon tapped Marie on the shoulder go ahead honey tell them. Marie took a deep breath Mom, Howard Jaylene i'm pregnant they all smiled and hugged Marie Oh sweetie i am going to be a grandmother,yes mom. How long are you Nine weeks.
