Rain isn't always clear 28

Hours passed since Matt’s phone call:

" Are you sure I cant help with party hats or something" following April in to the kitchen.

" No dear… you kneed your rest" she grabbed a notebook and a pen.

" But thanks for the Idea of hats. What else will we need" she whispered under her breath. Sighing with anger I turned out of the room; walking back in to the living room.

" What’s wrong?" Page’s voices sounded by the stairs.

" Your mothers is planing a party" I answered only to see her face change.

" Can you hold Kayla" she asked hurrying over to me.

" Yea only if you can talk her in to letting me help" smiling at her. " Ill try" she whispered handing me Kayla. " but you know mother once she puts her mind to it… it will take a life time to talk her out of it" her eyes looked down at me, before turning out of sight.

" No she cant help" Aprils voice echoed though my kitchen.

" Why not" Page hissed.

" Because" was all I heard. Sighing; my eyes moved to see Kayla’s big blue eyes starring up at me.

" What do you think about your grandma?" I asked setting her up on top of my belly to look right at me. Her eyes looked like she was thinking; making me laugh alittle. " Don’t worry you will answer me some day" wrapping my arms around her.

**************

Five more hours passed; Ronda feel asleep with Kayla in her arms:

" Ronda wake up" Page’s voice sounded; making me jump alittle. " Oh did I fall asleep?" yawning alittle. " Yea," she laughed under her breath.

" I think she needs a dipper change" Page laughed once more; my noise found the smell. " Yea I think your right," Handing her over.

" Are you a stinky girl?" Page asked heading up the stairs. Moving my fingers back to making cycles on my belly. I couldn’t help but wish for my pregnancy to be over. Good thing is at lest I don’t act like Page did. That’s one thing Im happy about at lest. Know if only Matt would be here. My mind went wondering; dreaming of being held. He has only been gone for four days and yet it seams like years.

Pushing myself to my feet, I headed to the kitchen. April ran around like some kind of headless chicken. " Are you sure I cant help" walking to the table.

" Fine" she sighed tiredly… smiling I looked around to see nothing big only bowls filled with cake mix.

*************************

Finishing the cakes:

Turning to see April with a sad look on her face. Sighing I walked over next to her pulling a chair to set down my self.

" April are you sure your ok?" watching her head turn to me.

" Yea," she whispered anger in her voice alittle.

" Does it have to do with me?" I asked knowing some how it was.

" No dear don’t be silly… its just im worried that’s all" her words failing her. Nodding alittle only to see her lips moving alittle. Setting my hand on her shoulder wanting to get the real truth even if she didn’t want to tell me. " Is that all?" eyeing her alittle. " Yes dear that’s all"… a small smile moving across her face.

" I cant believe how much you have grown before me" her eyes tearing up.

" What do you mean?" cocking my head to the side. " You have been here for seven mouths if only you could see your self know and how much you changed for that little girl."

" All that changed was me being fat." Laughing under my breath.

" Not just that… it’s just how you’re closer to the family." A smile moved across her face. " And im happy Matt bort you home"

Moving closer to her I wrapped my arms around April, hugging the only mother; that really cared about me. Pulling away to see tears running down her cheeks her smile gone.

" What else is wrong?" I asked dropping my hands on my lap. " Nothing you need to worry about dear." Her smile coming back alittle. Nodding I stud up pushing the wooden chair in. " is there anything else you want me to Finnish for you?"

" No dear, Mary is doing everything else," watching her stand up.

"Well im heading home." April’s whispered grabbing her coat, since it was raining out. " Good night" smiling at her alittle only to watch her walk out. Sighing I watched her tell she was out of sight. It’s hard to believe she lives five houses away since she never really leaves.

Locking the house up along with turning the TV off. I headed up the stairs… sounds of the living room clock telling me it was midnight. Page had to be asleep because her bedroom light was off along with little Kayla’s. Taking a breath I headed to the bedroom; flipping the switch on. The room was damp and windy; my eyes ran across the room only to see the bedroom window open wind and rain blowing in. Heading over to it only to see muddy foot prints on the window seal.

" That the?" I whispered closing the window. Turning my eyes looking for more footprints only to see them leading to my closet. " Hello I have a bat and im not afraid to use it" I hissed/ screamed. But there was no reaction. Sighing I turned my night light on before turning the other light on. Laying down, popping the TV up only to watch it tell I drifted to sleep.
