Mrs Anderson is pregnant?? If this would be India, Mrs Anderson would be looked down upon by most of the old aunties with an orthodox mindset. They would call it a crime and call having a kid when your eldest one is almost 17 shameful. I can't decipher what is going on in Liam's head. He does not react to the revelation for a minute, he just stays there. Then out of nowhere he rushes up the stairs, into his room and shuts the door loudly. Shit.

His mom breaks down into tears after seeing her son's reaction. I am torn between consoling Mrs Anderson and consoling Liam. 

"I am going see him. I am really happy for you Mrs Anderson", I say and rush up towards Liam's room. I barge into his room without knocking. He is looking out the balcony, deep in thought.

"Hey", I say softly. He does not respond.

"Are you not happy that your mom is pregnant?"

"Why do you think I am not happy?", he is seriously asking me this?

"Because of the way you stomped up here?"

"I am happy, it is just difficult to digest. What if I told you your parents had sex while you were sleeping just above."

"Well it is awkward if you think that way, but isn't it exciting to think that you might have a younger brother or sister running around the house in a year?"

"That is what makes it so bad. I will leave in a year or maybe even less and I won't be here to see how he/she grows up, I won't be there to play with him/her."

"Awwww...who knew you were such a softie."

"I want to be an elder brother, but I also want to see how my younger sibling will be. Once I leave, I am gonna be home rarely, which means I will rarely see him/her. I really am happy, but the timing......"

"Just so you know your mom started crying because she thinks you are not happy with the child and your dad looked....well, I can't tell what he seemed to be feeling. But please let's go down, and you tell them what you just told me, how you actually feeling."

"My mom was crying?", he says and runs downstairs and I rush after him.

"I am sorry, I didn't know how to react at that moment but I swear I am really happy for you. And I am going to be an elder brother!", he says looking at his mom and dad.

His dad looks at me and smiles.

"I didn't ask earlier, you might be Nyra, Judy has told me a lot about you", his dad says to me.

"Nice to meet you Mr Anderson", I shake his hand.

"Call me Jonah", he says and I nod.

"Thank you Nyra", Mrs Anderson says.

"Why are you thanking me?"

"If you wouldn't be here maybe Liam would still be angry"

"I was never angry, as I told", Liam intervenes.

"I think I am going to leave, my mom might be waiting for me"

"I'll drop you", Liam says.

"Don't, you enjoy. I can take a cab", I say and leave while I book a cab on my phone.

When I enter my house,  my mom asks, "Why did you go to Liam's?"

Well this is going to be interesting.

"So when we were having dinner, Liam's mom called us immediately and it turns out she is pregnant."

My mom chokes on the water she was drinking,  just the reaction I had expected.

"What? Are you serious?"

"Yess?"

"How?"

"The way it happens?"

"Interesting. But don't you think she is a little old to have a kid?"

"Please don't, it's their choice, you don't have to do this"

I knew she would comment something about this stuff. I walk up, change my clothes and lay down on my bed. Liam calls me as I am scrolling through my Instagram.

"Wassup heron"

"I didn't want to ruin our night so I didn't ask but now I've got to, why haven't you told your mom about us"

"Because as I told, telling your parents about your relationship in a brown family is suicide"

"Your mom knows me and I will be there when you tell them. Even my parents know about you."

"I am scared dude, I can't do it"

"I am gonna be here for you idiot. But you need to tell them, I can't lie to her every time we go out. I am sorry"

"Fine I'll tell them. But promise me you will be there with me, so I don't have to die alone"

"Promise."

"Fine"

"So when are we gonna tell your parents? Tomorrow?"

"So I found out today that Yana already knows we are dating. Which is weird since I never told her."

"She does? So tomorrow it is?"

"Tomorrow it is. How excited are you to be an elder brother?"

"A little too much, I have already started thinking of names"

"Tell me!"

"Secret"

"Ughhhh."

"Also I have already told my parents that I will be planning their gender reveal"

"Really? That is gonna be exciting "

"Ik"

" Good night heron"

"Good night pez. I love you."

"I love you too"

We hang up the phone. My insides are jelly just at the thought of telling my parents about my relationship.

A/N

So how do you think think Nyra's parents will react? But comment if you too think telling brown parents about your relationship is suicide.

I know this chapter is short but I will cover up for it in the next chapter.
