Mary Davies
I was privileged to know a little about Justin, I got to know he has a twin sister. The ride back to their home which is also going to be my new home hopefully wasn’t as boring as I expected it to be. Justin was cool and we majorly talked about dad and his weird punishments.
He pulled the car over in front of a huge mansion with thick huge gates and walls. The gate was opened by a man in pajamas. Justin drove in and drove straight to a place I guess was the garage, because I could see different kinds of cars in there.
“Let’s go, dad went on a trip this morning and I am in charge till he is back. I will introduce you to mum and my sister.”
I nodded my head and got down from the car, while he helped me with my petite box.

Dad and his family were truly living an ostentatious life. They were truly enjoying the benefits of money, I can’t believe I chose to be a suffer head by agreeing to live with my mum, she didn’t even have much to offer me and she even ended up abandoning me at the later end. So this is what I have been missing out. I haven’t met with Justin’s sister and mum yet. But he was showing me around and I am loving what I am seeing.
They have a nice pool in here, and a workout gym. Too bad I don’t know how to swim. After the house tour, Justin led me to the inner part of the mansion, he ushered me ahead of him into the entry hall. I immediately fixed and comported myself before I proceeded inside. Hopefully his mum and sister will love me the way I am.
A beautiful woman with fair legs was draped over a long black leather couch, she looked kind of tired. My gaze swept over the well furnished sitting room. Golden brocades draped the windows and the walls. A huge TV was placed on the wall opposite me, at my right hand side there were no walls, the walls were replaced by a transparent glass that made you see the garden of flowers at the other end of it. At my feet, a late afternoon sun dappled the soft rug. I breathed in, basking in the heavenly smell of rose fragrance.
I turned to face Justin as I didn’t know what else to do. I wish dad was here, at least I won’t be feeling this awkward.
“Is that your sister?” I asked with my eyebrows raised in question, as a blush crept up to my face.
“Are you kidding me?” He asked chuckling.
“I am his mum,” the lady replied, giggling like a child. I gasped in shock, as I allowed my gaze rove over her indiscreetly.
“Hope we are not too late mum?” Justin asked loudly, hearing Justin call her mum was like a confirmation to what she said, I thought she was joking at first. I shook my head negatively, as my eyes dashed to the both of them, were they trying to joke with me or something. No way can she be his mum, she looked so young. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, just like Justin’s eyes.
“I know it is unbelievable, I get this a lot. But I am truly Justin’s Mum.” The lady said, breaking the silence, but I still didn’t believe her. Justin began to laugh really loud and that gave me more reason to believe it was a prank.
“Julie!” She yelled all of a sudden, still laughing.
“Can you please come down now!” She ordered.
I was starting to feel embarrassed, maybe she was truly Justin’s mother. But she didn’t look like it, she has the body of a model, her black hair was really long and it cascaded over her shoulders, she was slender and has full hips, her blue pants were hugging her booty perfectly.
“Mum, I have told you time without numbers. Stop calling me Julie. That nickname makes me feel like an old woman. Please, just call my name in full next time. Juliet.”I heard a voice say loudly, the voice seems to be getting closer, I turned around to see a girl that looked exactly like Justin coming down from the spiral stairs.
“Hello,” She said immediately our gaze met. She immediately looked me over at one glance and she scoffed.
“I was actually expecting more,” She said rolling her eyes.
“And what do you mean by that?” Justin asked.
“Are you seriously asking me that question, come on brother, just take a look at her. She might not last a day in school, she won’t fit in at all. At least not with a baby.”
“And why won’t she fit in, enough with your speculations Juliet.”
“Now, let’s move into the introduction. I know you are Mary. I am …”
“What if she ends up being stigmatized because of the baby.” Juliet said, cutting her mother off.
“Go upstairs Juliet!” Her mum ordered, she obeyed instantly but not without giving me a death glare. What Juliet said actually made me scared. I thought I won’t be allowed to go to school till I have the baby but it seems like they already have plans for me.
“You can call me Vanessa.” Justin’s mum said, coming closer to hold my hands.
“And you don’t have to worry or be bothered. You will be going to Justin and Juliet’s school on Monday, we have you enrolled already. Don’t worry about the baby, the Principal knows about it already. Your uniforms are in your room, but it is up to you to make yourself a force to reckon with, let your classmates see the sweet part of you to the extent that they will all find it too hard to judge you with the pregnancy. I might not know the story about your pregnancy, but don’t make your child feel he is a mistake and you should also get that mentality off your head.”
“I know you have a good heart Mary, I have heard about you from your dad. Your grades from your previous school were really low. But I heard you used to be smart, a straight A student. You are going to be in for a competition in your class, they are all straight A student. You had better give them all a run for the best graduating student. You can do it, having a baby won’t be a hindering block.”
“Have you even thought about the gender of your baby, imagine it being a cute chubby boy that looks exactly like you.” She added smiling brightly.
I felt motivated and pushed, I used to be a girl with a lot of goals, but after the incident with Hawk I lost focus, but now it was like something was reawakened in me. I didn’t even spare my unborn baby a thought, I never want to be like my mother, even with the circumstances of this pregnancy. I am going to show my baby all the love he deserves.
“Can I hug you?” I whispered softly. She didn’t even wait to give me a response. She pulled me into a tight hug.
Suddenly, she pulled out of the hug and looked at me strangely.
“Who are you and where am I?” She asked, looking confused.
I was kind of shocked, Justin rushed to her immediately and held her by the hands.
“Look at me mum, this is Justin. I am your son and you are my mother.” Justin said, looking into her eyes.
He cussed silently, I still don’t understand what was happening.
“Oh my goodness.” She muttered under her breath.
“I can’t believe this is happening again.” Justin whispered, hugging his mum tightly.
I tried not to stare too much as Justin led her upstairs.
