holding breath, holding breath, holding breath.....Chapter 25

I Just stood there in disbelief.......What do you mean they don't think Kendra is yours??

He said because they knew we hadn't been aloud to see each other regularly they assume that I was sleeping with other people. My first reaction was to be mad, my next reaction was to cry...which I did. After a while I told him, call your mom and tell her and your grandma to come over, so they can meet the baby, he said.....ummm you sure about that??? I said absolutely they need to see her, she looks just like you, and besides, we cant start out family like this.

Richard got on the phone with his mom and grandma and said......Guess what, Starr had the baby, its a girl, her name is Kendra and Starr is here, wanna come meet them?
Two days later I was in the bathroom feeling like I was gonna puke waiting for them to show up. There was a knock on the door and I about lost it, I was shaking and so nervous I was almost crying. Richard came in and said grab the baby, they are here. I picked up Kendra and walked into the living room, and before I could say anything Richards mom said oh my God, look at that baby, she looks just like Richard when he was a baby!! and she came and took her out of my arms. Insert total relief here. The first meeting went well, they were very nice and crazy about Kendra, we got along very well. Before they left they asked the question I had been waiting for the whole evening......So when are you two getting married?

Richard and I just kind of looked at each other and shrugged...We hadn't talked about it yet, setting a date or anything. We knew we were going to have to save money so we knew it was going to be at least a year, and honestly we were in no rush.

Well you may want to be thinking about that. you know what Grandpa is gonna say.

When Richards mom and grandma left I asked.......So which grandpa and what will he say?
Richard told me that his moms dad, was very upset that he had gotten his girlfriend pregnant and said that he had to merry me or he was fired (Richard worked for the company he owned) Richard told him that we were already planning on getting married before I got pregnant and we were not in any rush.....apparently his grandpa didn't agree.
I should have known then that his family wasn't going to be able to keep their opinions to themselves.
