Chapter 16 Enjoy the Silence
A couple of months later....
"You are having twins."
"I'm sorry Dr Patel, I think I heard you wrong," Cassy said, her eyes wide in surprise. "Did you say I'm having twins?"
" You heard me right," The dark haired doctor said with a gentle smile. " I'm surprised you didn't notice. I'll explain, there are two separate… Dr Bloom ,are you okay?" She moved to his side, as he looked as he was about to keel over.
Orlando just looked at the screen in shock, " Twins? I…I never expected that…Yes, I'm fine, just a little surprised." He felt as if his heart was going to explode, yes he was surprised, but he was ecstatic. He couldn’t believe that he didn’t notice….
" I should have known this was going to happen. It's in my family to have twins; my grandmother was a twin and it skips a generation. I didn't even think about it. I'm sorry." Cassy said gripping his hand tighter.
Orlando smiled down at her," There is no reason for you to be sorry. It's okay. I was just surprised. Really, I'm fine with it." He said breathlessly
" Okay, I'm going to have to call my family again, they'll be so excited." She smiled.
Dr Patel nodded, " Yes, I'm sure they will be. Well everything looks good here. In the next month or so we should be able to tell you the sex of the babies. So don't forget to make an appointment with the receptionist okay?"
" Of course doctor." Orlando grabbed some paper towels and wiped off the goo for the sonogram wand off of Cassy's belly. Then he helped her up and pulled her shirt down and her pants back up over her belly.
"I'm hungry, let's go get some lunch." Cassandra pronounced.
Orlando smiled, " Sure, what are you in the mood for now? No, let me guess, Chinese…no Mexican?"
" No and no, I want french fries from McDonalds and a sandwich from Subway."
"Hell, I was way off on that one wasn't I? Oh well, chips from McDonalds and a sandwich it is." He said as he helped her off the table. They left the room and made an appointment for next month, then left. Cassy reached out and took Orlando's hand as they walked out to his Land Rover. She looked up and smiled brightly at him. He grinned back and turned back to watch where he was going only to stop dead in his tracks. Marilyn Johnson blocked their path.
Orlando pushed Cassy behind him and growled, "What the hell do you want? Wait, you know what, I don't care what you want. If you don't leave our presence right now, I don't know what I will do."
" My goodness Orlando, you don't have to be rude. I was just going to say hello to you and your friend." Marilyn cooed. She didn't move any closer, but her eyes darted to watch both of them.
Cassandra's hand was gripped tightly and she couldn't pull free unobtrusively. She remained silent and waited for something to happen.
" Are you insane, what makes you think that we want anything from you? I would be much happier if you pretended that we didn't exist. Now, get out of our way and don't ever say anything to us again or contact us. We want nothing to do with you." Orlando said as he moved away from Marilyn. He moved in such a way that Cassandra was out of reach of the other woman.
Marilyn backed away, but watched them with wide eyes. She had plenty of time to get what she wanted. She'd had a lot of time to think about her actions and how she would progress. She knew she had to be careful; she didn't want to get thrown back in jail or go back to the mental unit in the hospital. She wasn't crazy, but they said that she was. Of course they used all those scientific words, but she wasn’t stupid. She knew what they meant. The doctors had put her on medicine and said that she needed counselling. They were the one's that were crazy. Stupid doctors, what did they know?
Orlando moved away from Marilyn, watching her warily as he moved Cassy back to his vehicle. He unlocked the door with the remote on his key chain and settled her in quickly then went around and got in and locked the door. He saw that Marilyn still stood there watching with no expression on her face. He started the 4x4, threw it into reverse and screeched out of the parking lot.
"That was strange," Cassy said as she looked out the window of the moving vehicle. "Why in the world would she bother us again? How did she know where we were? Has she been following us again?" Her questions weren't really meant to be answered, but she needed to voice them. She was scared, no not just scared, she was terrified. At this point in time she wanted to run, to just get away, to a place where Marilyn couldn’t find her or Orlando. She turned towards Orlando, his jaw muscles were jumping and his hands were clenched hard on the steering wheel. She could tell that he was upset about the encounter with Marilyn. She took a deep breath and said, " Orlando, can you take me home, please?"
He didn't answer at first; he seemed to be lost in his thoughts. After a seconds he responded, " Yeah, let's go home."
When they got home, Orlando got out, and then went around to help Cassy. They both lived in the townhouse with Deanna, but she was going to be moving soon. She had decided that she wanted a house that included a yard. Cassy loved the town house though and didn't want to leave. She was so glad that Orlando felt the same way. They would have to buy new furniture, but that wouldn't be too much of a problem. As they walked up to the back door, they heard Missy barking happily. Cassy smiled as Orlando opened the door and Missy came bounding out.
"Hey Missy, what are you up to? Staying out of trouble I hope." Cassandra spoke softly to the dog. She followed Orlando in and sat down at the kitchen table. Missy followed her and placed her large head on her knee. The yellow lab seemed to know that Cassy was upset and remained still and quiet allowing the woman to stroke her head.
Orlando took of his jacket and put it away, then returned to the kitchen. He knew that Cassy was afraid, the look in her eyes told the entire story of her feelings. He felt the same way; he wanted to bundle her off to a safe place, away from any danger. He started to think about taking her home to England, which would be safe. Marilyn wouldn't possible know where they went. Especially if they left at night, but that made him mad. He wasn't the type to run away from anything, but he had to think about Cassy and the babies. He had to keep them safe; it wasn't just him anymore. He decided he would ask Cassandra what she thought about going to England for a while. He had vacation time coming to him, maybe it would help, and maybe Marilyn would just give up. He reached up and rubbed his eyes with a weary hand, then went over and sat down across from Cassy.
" So what do you want for dinner?" He could tell that she wouldn't be in the mood to eat after what happened, but he had to get her to eat something.
" I don't care right now, I'm not really hungry." She turned away from him and faced the window.
" Sorry that isn't acceptable, you have to eat something. I know that you are upset, but you have to eat, you didn't eat much at breakfast, love." He replied reaching over the table to hold her hand.
Cassy sighed resignedly, "Okay. I'll eat. I know, I know I have to eat. I'm sorry. I'm just…"
" Upset, I know. Maybe a little scared." Orlando offered. She looked up at him and started to chew on her bottom lip.
Cassy nodded, " Yes, I am. I'm mad too. I wish she'd go away. Why can't we just be happy? Why can't everything be perfect? It's not fair…It's just not fair," Cassy's lip began to wobble as her eyes filled with tears. " And if you say that life isn't fair…I swear, I'll slap you." She growled
" I wouldn't dream of saying that to you now. I value my life to much." He quipped with a slight smile.
" Yeah, I'm sure you do," she smirked, "No, I could never mar that beautiful face of yours." She leaned over the table and kissed his lips.
Orlando stood and came around the table and pulled her into his arms, " I love you."
" I love you too, silly man." She said
" I think I'm hungry now. Can I have food now, please?" She asked with child like innocence.
" Did you still want Subway and chips?" He asked indulgently.
" Yes, I do. And remember when you go through the drive thru…"
"Yes, I know they're called French fries. I think I know that, I've been in this country for several years now," He replied airily " I'll be back in a few minutes, love." He said as he kissed her.
Cassandra sat in the kitchen for a few minutes then decided she wanted to watch some TV. She went into the living room and sat in the big leather armchair. She looked out the window and sighed, it really was a beautiful day. Sunny, and a little on the warm side, the more she looked out the window the more she wanted to go outside. She put down the remote and went the front door, slipping feet into a pair of leather house shoes. She opened the front door and went out onto the porch, sitting down on the wicker loveseat. A couple of her neighbours were walking their dog; they waved politely but kept walking. She didn’t see anybody else out, which was rather strange for such a wonderful day. Usually on days like this there were people walking around the track or on the sidewalk. She looked at her watch and saw that it was still early in the day, so most people would still be at work. She shook her head “ I'm such a featherhead,” she laughed at herself. She stayed outside for another ten minutes then got up to go inside; Orlando would be home soon. She made her way into the townhouse and as she was going back to the kitchen she heard the back door open.
" Orlando, is that you?" Cassy walked toward the kitchen.
" No, honey it's me." Deanna called out. Missy rushed into the kitchen to greet her with doggy hellos. Dee was carrying what looked to be a couple suitcases worth of clothes in several bags. Cassy tried to take some of them from her, but was given a stern look and told to go sit down. " You shouldn't be lifting heavy things, you know that. I can handle this."
Cassandra rolled her eyes, " Fine I'll just go sit down and become a bump on log until the twins are born." She said waiting for a reaction.
" What! You're having twins, " Deanna yelled excitedly, " Oh my God." She dropped the bags and clasped her hands to her face. She rushed over to give Cassy a hug and kissed both of her cheeks happily. " Oh sweetheart I'm so happy for you. Now where is that handsome man of yours?"
" Oh, he's out getting food for me. I wanted a turkey sub and french fries," She explained. " So what's with all the clothes?"
" Oh honey, I went shopping while I was in Paris. I brought back some clothes…oh and I brought back some very nice clothes for you. They are just beautiful. I know you will love them," She gushed “And I also got something that I think that hunk of yours will enjoy, but I’m not showing you that yet."
" I can only imagine what it is. You didn't have to do this. I have enough clothes."
" Honey, you should know by now that you can never have enough clothes," She said as she dragged the bags to the table and sat down. " Here take a look at this…"
About half an hour later, Orlando found them almost buried in clothes, " What the bloody hell are you two up to now? It looks like you bought out an entire clothes store." He said putting the food bags down on the counter and turning to face them again," My goodness, woman can't I leave you for a little while and you stay out of trouble." He said fondly, his smile bright and indulgent.
" It wasn't me. I didn't do it. She brought them back from France," Cassandra said pointing at Dee. " See I told you, you always get me into trouble." She said laughingly to Dee.
" What do you think friends are for, sweetie?” Dee said as she moved put the piles of clothes back in to the bag. " I'm going to start taking these down stairs and get them washed up. Orlando can you help me please, my love?"
Cassandra stood, " I'll help…"
" No you won't sit down and eat. Honey, please. I don't want you going up and down those steps carrying those bags." Orlando said, getting out a plate. He took her food and placed it on the plate, arranging it artfully. He smiled as he placed it in front of her, " Enjoy"
" Thank you, mi querido." She grabbed his arm and pulled him down to her level, " I love you."
" I love you too," He kissed her again, " Now I better go help Dee before she starts hollering." He said with a roll of his eyes.
Cassandra chuckled as she heard Orlando and Dee stomping down the stairs. Deanna was yelling to him something in French, in which he responded in kind. The only thing Cassy could understand was he saying "My God, woman." She would definitely have to start pestering him about learning french.
Dee lugged the two bags she was carrying down the stairs, when she got into the laundry she dropped them with a loud huff. "Why did I buy so many clothes, now I have to wash all of them. Uhgg."
Orlando smiled, " Yes, my dear you do." He dropped the three bags he was carrying and rushed back upstairs. He saw that Cassandra was halfway through her chips by the time he got up there." Wow, you must have been hungry." He said as he snitched a french fry.
" Hey, you stay away from my food. Get your own!" Cassandra screeched as she smacked at his hand. He pulled away with a grin and popped the food in his mouth.
"Listen to you, I didn't know better you'd think we've been starving you or something." He said laughing.
" You should know better, you never take food from a pregnant woman. It could be bad for your health." She informed him with an evil grin, poking him in the belly.
"Ouch, you evil woman. For that I'm taking another one." He said seriously as he reached for another french fry. She smacked his hand before he could grab one.P>" Hey, am I going to have to put you two in separate corners?" Dee called out as she came in the back door.
" No, Mum. You don't have to put us in separate corners." Orlando grinned. He snitched another french fry and avoided Cassy swipe. He kissed her on the top of her head and headed out of the kitchen.
" Deanne, do you want some help?"
"No, honey. I'm fine. You finish your food." Deanna said to Cassandra, " Actually I'm going to sit right here and take a break. So tell me what happened at the doctor's office. Did you see them? Is everything okay?"
" Yes, everything is just fine. They are so tiny still. We didn't listen to the heartbeats yet, but we will next time. I can't wait to find out what sex they are. Then we can start buying clothes and decorating." Cassandra paused, " Wait, Why do I have to wait? We can start anytime. It doesn't have to be pink or blue, right?"
"No, it doesn't. It can be anything you two like. How about a nice green or even yellow? Or both. You can do what ever you want." Deanna said. " Actually I have a question. You can tell me to butt out if you want, but I have to ask. Are you two getting married?"
Cassandra didn't know how to answer, he had asked a few months ago, but they hadn't talked about it recently. Maybe it was time.
