RP: News to tell Date: July 1, 2012 Characters: Mona Jackson, Miranda Jackson Location: Mona's apartment Status: Private Rating: PG? Summary: Miranda comes to Mona's for dinner. Completion: Incomplete
Mona was exhausted by the time she made it home from lunch and shopping with Mama. Not because of the shopping (though Nicholas wouldn't need new clothes for at least six months now!), no, it was completely thanks to the lunch conversation in which Mona had kept her promise to her father to not wait long to tell her mother that she and Sky were going to get married. She wasn't sure what was more exhausting - the way her mother was obviously so thrilled at the news or having to put her foot down about what kind of ceremony they would have. Either way, at least her parents knew now, even if she really hadn't planned for them to be the first that she told. The truth was that she really didn't have any friends, and the person that she'd thought of telling first was her sister, she just hadn't got around to doing so before her father had surprised her by reaching out to mend things.
Because she'd made plans to go to lunch with Mama today, she'd checked with Miranda to see if she'd want to come over for dinner tonight. She'd cheated, of course, picking something up on the way home from a little Italian restaurant that she was fond of since it was fairly close to dinnertime anyway. She left most of the shopping in the car, knowing that she wouldn't be able to carry it, dinner, and Nicholas up the stairs, and she didn't want to leave Nicholas alone to unload everything, so she would have Sky do it when it got home later tonight. Lifting things was starting to get easier for her, but she still tried not to overdo it, not wanting to screw things up when she was getting so close to being healed. She took her time climbing the stairs, and once inside, she settled Nicholas in his bassinet before moving on to the kitchen to put the food in the oven to keep it warm while she waited for Miranda to get there.
