I woke up feeling less nauseous then I did when I fell asleep. I took a nice hot shower to soothe my muscles and hopefully relieve some of the tension in my head.
Once I dried myself off I grabbed a fresh pair of panties from my drawer and slipped into another one of my brother's sports shirts. They made me feel comfortable and they smelt like him which helped me relax. Since the shirt was so big I didn't need to wear anything else.
Walking down the stairs I smelt something good cooking in the kitchen. Turning into the kitchen I saw Grams stirring some food on the stove.
"Hey Grams." I slipped on top of the counter and took the stirring spoon to taste what she was making."Hmm that taste so good. When will Lunch be ready?"
With a smirk on her face she took the spoon out of my hand and placed it on the counter. "I figured you would like it. It was one of my favorite foods when I was pregnant."
"Mmm well it's absolutely delicious. I'm so hungry." I tried to pick at the food some more but got my hand swatted away by my grandmother. Soon we were fooling around and having a good time.
My Grams sat me down at the table and pushed some hair out of my face. "Rachel, you know you will have to tell Michael."
I looked down and played with the hem of my brother's shirt. "What if he gets upset? What if he doesn't want to have this child with me? I'm so nervous Grams, I don't know what he's going to say."
"Honey you're not going to know until you tell him and if your brother is the man I know he is then he will love you and be there for you through this." Grams kissed my forehead and went back to lower the fire of the food.
=====================
It had been an hour since having lunch and I was finishing the last of the dishes. Feeling arms go around my waist I jump and then sighed leaning back into Michael's arms.
"You scared me... Your home early."
"Yeah, practice got cancelled and I was worried about you so I came home. How are you feeling?" Michael nuzzled the back of my neck.
"I'm okay, just alittle tired." I tried to sound confident in my words but I was visibly shaking.
Michael turned me around in his arms and reached around me to turn off the water. After drying my hands I placed them on his chest. I looked at my engagement ring and for the fiftieth time today thought about what would happen once I told him I was pregnant.
Lifting my chin Michael kissed me gently and stroked my cheek. "Baby what's going on? Are you okay? Do you want to lay back down?"
"No, I'm fine. I just...," I took a shaky breath trying to find the words to say. My mind just became clouded and all the ideas I had for this conversation left me. "Will you just take a walk with me? On the lake?"
"Of course lil sis." Michael kept one arm tightly wrapped around my waist as we left the house and walked toward the lake.
As we walked I simply laid my head against his chest. I held his right hand in my left as we walked wrapped in each others arms.
