CHAPTER 24.

QUINN'S POV:

My mother wrapped her arms around me in an embrace. "Rae!! You're here. How are you?" She asked as I smiled.

"I'm doing fine mum." I said. I was actually freaking out on the inside.

"That's good to hear. Rissa is already in your room waiting. I'll make you something to eat." She said and I nodded. "Where's Dad?" I asked.

"He's off to work already. He has some important clients today."

I made my way to my room and scoffed loudly once I found Rissa buried neck deep in my still full closet, surprisingly.

How is it still this full?

"Heyyo! Bestie!" She hollered rushing over to give me a hug. I laughed as we spun a little.

"Did you cut your hair?" I asked in shock.

She fluffed it a little. Her hair that was as long as mine was now shoulder length. And when I say long I mean long. My hair touches my butt most times.

"Yeah. it keeps getting in my way." She said and I walked around her taking a full look at it. "It's amazing. it definitely suits you a lot. Have I told you you're the kind of person that pulls off any hairstyle?" She smiled in response.

"Won't you get a haircut as well? It's already January. Happy New year's though." I shook my head with a smile.

"Best regards Ris. And no I won't. Maybe a trim. Xavier likes running his hands through my hair if he's not running it through his." I joked as she snickered.

"Couple goals."

"Eh. How's things with Jace?" I asked laying on my bed. i missed this bed so much. I was tempted to bring it over to Xavier's house but my mother refused. It was so soft and fluffy.

"I think I'm finally ready to make it official." My jaw dropped. I squealed loudly as I jumped like a little child. She laughed smiling at me.

"That's great news Rissa. I finally get to deliver the 'hurt her and you die' speech. You've done that to Xav a lot of times." I said in excitement.

"You said you had something to tell me. What's up?" She asked and my mood dropped as my hand unconsciously moved lower.

"Ris? You finally get to be a godmother." I announced and she stared in utter shock.

"No way!!! You're ---- actually..." I nodded in confirmation.

"Found out this morning after I took a test and also after I heard Xavier complaining about how whiny I've been. It all makes sense." I said and she literally screamed. I covered my ears as I laughed.

"What the hell!!! And I'm the first to know?" She asked and I nodded. "Aww... You remember!" She cooed hugging me again.

When we were younger we had promised to tell each other first if either of us got pregnant in the now future. Our reason being we would decide if we wanted our babies to get married. We were young and stupid. That fact was undeniably true.

"Girls? What's all the screaming for?" Mum asked as she walked in.

"YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GRANDMA!!!" Rissa screamed again and I palmed my face.

"And which of you is pregnant?" Mum asked still seeming confused. "I am. I'm going to be a mother." I said suddenly wanting to burst into tears. My mother was quick to pull me into her bosom.

"Oh baby. I'm so happy for you. Don't cry. Motherhood is a beautiful thing." She said as I sniffled.

"Yeah Quinn. You get to have little mini you and Xavier running around that mansion." Rissa said as I smiled.

"Speaking about Xavier, Does he know?" Mum asked. I shook my head.

"I found out this morning. He wasn't home when I did. I don't want to tell him yet." I said and they both nodded respecting my decision.

"Our lips are sealed."

"Thing is I also need to go see a doctor but with the media always around somewhere I'm afraid it's going to get out." I said.

"Oh yeah. that's gonna be a struggle." Ris muttered.

"We'll figure that out later. Come on. I made Lasagna." Mum said taking both our hands and leading us out of the room while discussing if she wanted a grandson or a granddaughter.
