Love You Too: PART 102

"Tiffany!" Ellie cried in shock as she saw her sister running towards her, wearing nothing but a dressing gown that was gaping open as she ran towards them.
"I've missed you so much" Tiffany cried as she crashed head on into Ellie, holding her tight in her arms.
"Well you lost the baby weight fast!" Ellie noted, smiling and hugging her tighter "Where's my little niece then?" she cooed, as Nate came walking out with the baby girl in his arms. "Oh she's so so beautiful!"
"It was inevitable with a mother like Tiffany" Nate said, looking softly towards his bride.
"Aww aren't you the most perfect husband?" Ellie said, kissing him on both cheeks before taking the baby from him and going into the living room to sit with her, with Nate in hot pursuit of his little child.
"Hey, Tiffany" Joe called, stopping Tiffany in her tracks.
"Sorry, how are you?" she said, turning and wrapping her arms around his shoulders.
"Why don't you go and get dressed and we'll go for a walk?" he whispered in her ear before breaking the embrace.
She nodded to Joe, then got to halfway up the stairs before calling down to Nate "Joe's asked me to go out and get some weird kind of tea for Ellie, I realised we don't have any in. So we'll go now if that's okay?"
"Sure, whatever" Nate called back, clearly engrossed in showing off his latest creation.
Joe smiled up at her, praising her excuse, before Tiffany went up and changed.

"So, you ignored each other for that long?" Joe asked in shock as they paced along the eastern perimeter of Central Park.
"Yeah. Not even on the day I gave birth did he show me any real signs of affection as you'd expect him to"
"T, I'm so sorry"
"It's no ones fault. Probably mine if anyone"
"Why? T, all you did was carry his baby. You did nothing wrong"
"I could have tried a little harder I suppose. Anyway, we finally reconnected and sorted everything out this morning, but there's something else that's popped it's ugly head up now" Tiffany said, stopping in front of a bench that provided a clear view through to the lake, with all the small children out driving small remote control boats across it's surface.
"And..?" Joe prompted.
"We think I might be... I'm.. The condom broke. We think I'm pregnant" Tiffany said, finally mustering up the strength to finally say those words.
"Oh god" Joe said, sitting on the bench and allowing Tiffany to follow suit "Do you know if you are?"
"I don't know. I feel fine, but I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow or the day after"
"What will you do, if you are?"
"I can't face going through what I went through last time with Nate. I just can't. And I don't want to disrupt my life even more"
"You were taking a year off anyway weren't you?"
"Yeah, to raise this child. I'd have to take another year to raise another, then after two years off and two children I highly doubt any university will want to take me"
"They will. You're very special" Joe said, kissing the top of Tiffany's head.
"Thanks. We should probably get back, I don't think we can claim we spent this long looking without actually finding it" she laughed
"That's true. Thank you for telling me all that"
"You're family, how could I not?" she smiled, linking arms with him as they walked back towards the house.
