Chapter 2: Reaction
“but the planets all aligned
when you looked into my eyes
and just like that
the chemicals react” – Aly and A.J.: Chemicals React
For the first time in her life, Trixie had nothing to say, so instead she just watched the drama unfold before her. After Jake’s classic “Say what?” silence quickly followed, but she knew that one of her friends wasn’t going to let that be.
Spud bent down to Rose’s stomach and said: “Hello little prophecy child, this is your Uncle Spud.”
Rose jumped back as if she had put her finger in a light socket. “I’m not pregnant!” she shouted quickly.
“No, not yet, but you will be,” Kara said dryly.
“You said soon, how soon is soon?” asked Rose in an uncharacteristically panicked voice.
“Well sweetheart there is no real definition of soon. It’s all a matter of time,” Fu Dog answered for the profits.
Trixie had to admit that it was slightly amusing to see the tough Huntsgirl completely out of her element. But she did feel for the girl, she remembered when Kara told her that she and Spud were going to tie the knot. It felt like she had no control of her own destiny, like she was powerless and her dream of being Mrs. Denzel Washington would never come true. Luckily for her, they simply misinterpreted the vision. However Trixie did not see how the prophecy could not be about Jake and Rose.
“So we have to wait till we get old enough to have this child, then actually have her, and wait till she grows up to bring this peace?” Rose asked.
“How do you know it’s a girl?” asked Trixie, completely curious.
“It has to be a girl, I don’t know how to raise a boy, they are always making messes and fighting,” Rose said. Everyone stared at her.
“You are the Huntsgirl, girl,” said Trixie.
“The irony is not lost on me,” Rose answered with a sigh.
“It’s a boy and girl,” said Kara in a bored tone, “Twins.”
“Awww… You are going to be in labor for nineteen hours. That will probably hurt, but yay babies!” Sara said jumping up happily.
“Twins,” Rose whispered, slowly sitting down on the couch in a daze.
Finally realizing his voice still worked and body still moved, Jake grabbed Rose’s hand and led her to the next room. “We need to talk.”
“They probably are going to decide on names for the babies,” Spud said once the couple left.
“Or making them,” teased Fu, but after a harsh look from everyone in the room he quickly said: “Eeyyee! Can’t anyone take a joke?”
“Why aren’t you freaking out about this?” Rose asked once they were outside earshot of the others.
Jake sighed and smiled at her. “Because I am looking at this positively, at least we are going to live long enough to have kids,” he said.
“Please don’t talk about dying,” Rose said with a frown on her face.
“Alright, alright,” he said, kissing her cheek. “Hey, guess what?”
“What?”
“We beat the odds against the star-crossed lovers’ tragedy!”
“Huh?”
“You know Romeo and Juliet? Cleo and her main man Anthony? They didn’t work out very well, but Jake and Rose, we are going to be beat the odds baby.”
She laughed and pressed her forehead against his. “So we are okay?” she whispered.
“We are better than okay, we are destined.”
