Chapter Twenty
Katherine was cleaning up the bedroom and replicating the sheets when she noticed a paper sticking out of jacks drawer .
She opened it with the fear that it would be those tickets but it wasn't ... It was a drawing ... It was her.
She traced her hand along the face and was shocked at how beautiful and how real this looked . She smiled and put it back in the drawer .
She had told the families to come over for dinner and then went to the market . She had enough money to buy the proper ingredients.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Katherine was at home , today was the day of the dinner and she was cooking and cleaning like crazy .
She had a roast in the oven and honey cake in there too . Katherine also had to clean the whole house , even though it was so clean you could eat off the floor .
She decided it would be smart to lock Jack's art room just incase . Jack would be home soon to get changed and shave .
"Katherine?" Jack asked taking off his coat and putting it on the hook .
"Jack ! You're home ! Great ! Hurry and go get ready ... They'll be her soon ... " Katherine said and shoved him upstairs .
While he was gone Katherine went to put up her apron and take off her boots for her nice flats .
She also fixed her hair in a mirror so it wasn't all messy . Jack came down nicely dressed, but not super fancy , and spun around "is this okay ?" He asked .
"Perfect!" Katherine said and she took Barak outside . Jack smiled and grabbed her hand to pull her to him. He hugged her tightly . The door bell rang and Katherine snapped her head to it.
"They're here " Katherine whispered and ran to open the door .
It was his mother and father and brother . "Mr. And Mrs. Kelly , Andrew , welcome ... Please come inside ... Can I take your coats ?" Katherine asked .
Jack walked to her side and helped her out the coats up . "Supper should be ready in 15 minutes " Katherine said and went to the kitchen. Jack followed her and closed the door .
Katherine turned at him and gave him a weak smile . Jack took his hand and lifted her chin up . "It's gonna be okay ... Anyway it's my job to worry " Jack said .
Katherine smiled and hugged him tightly until the doorbell rang again . They both went to open it and it was her father , mother and three younger sisters .
"Mama ... Papa ... Amelia , Eliza , Francis ... Come inside ... You remember jacks parents don't you ? Oh and this is jacks brother Andrew " Katherine said smiling .
"I'm just going to check o dinner -"Katherine said .
"I'll help " Jack added and they went back to the kitchen .
Katherine called dinner and they all went to sit at the large table . They all prayed together and then they began to eat .
"Where's Clara ? Didn't you invite her ?" Katherine's mother asked her .
"We did ... I don't know where she it " Katherine said and then began to cut her meat a tad more .
They sat down and had their meal . "Everyone .... Katherine and I have an announcement" Jack said standing up . "Katherine's pregnant " he said . The families began to smile and congratulate them .
Like a flash the there was w knock on the door . Jack went to get its be it was no other than Clara and Davey .
"Clara ? Why were you late ?" Katherine's mother asked as they all ate their meals .
"Oh , I had a doctors appointment... Turns out I'm pregnant " Clara said and all the attention was switched to them . Clara smirked at Katherine .
Katherine found herself gripping onto her knife tightly under the table . Jack put his hand on her wrist . "Katherine , how about we go cut the honey cake ?" Jack asked . Katherine nodded and they went to the kitchen .
Katherine sighed "why does she always steal my thunder ?!" Katherine asked .
"I don't know ... I'm sorry " Jack said and he hugged her . Katherine stood on her tip toes and kissed his lips .
"Thank you Jack " Katherine said and hugged him again .
"Jack ...papa and your father want to talk with you " Clara said coming. Jack kissed her forehead and left , slipping her knife in his pocket .
Katherine began to cut the cake "so you're pregnant ... And you choose to announce it the same night I announced mine ... In my home ? At my table ?" Katherine said putting the cake on plates .
"No ... I'm not pregnant... I only said it because I will be soon ... And when I do they won't even think of anything of it ! Please Katherine... I've been married a week in not pregnant " she said and walked out .
