Ebony Charm 3: Married And Surprises

Hiding

Taryn looked in the mirror ather stomach, it still wasn't showing much so she wore one of her shirts.

Shadow was still asleep so she snuck out of the room and sighed that she made it out without waking him up.

Speed called and she answered. "Hey sis, um what if Shadow finds the papers...?" Speed asked. "Oh shoot!" Taryn said and ran towards her purse and looked they weren't there. She screamed and turned running into Shadow. "Oh! Good Morning, Shadow." She said and he lookedat her. "Are you okay?"He asked. "Oh yeah, i'm fine." She said smiling nervously and made a quick escaped upthe stairs. She found the papers on the desk, both her and Shadow shared.What ifhe read them? She walked down the stairs trembling. "Taryn, are you sure your okay?" Shadowasked. She nodded and quickly sat on the couch.

"So how did itgo at the doctors?" He asked. "Oh um i just have a stomach ache."She said. He didn't seemedconvinced. "Taryn, this has been going on forplenty of days and your saying that all you have is astomach ache?" He asked. She nodded. "Your hiding something." He saidand she quickly tensed. "N-No." Sheforced out. "You just stuttered, what's going on?"He asked. "The truth?" She asked. "The truth." He answered. "I haveto go to the bathroom." She said andran into the restroom.

She breathed. He was on to her, she had to think of something and fast. Taryn calledSpeed. "He's onto meSpeed!" She staged whispered, scared that maybe Shadow was listening. "Well tellhim you just have a stomach bug." Speedsaid. "Already tried." She said. "Tell him you only have 9 months to live and then we'll fake your death and then i'll send you to hawii and-and-and! Then i'll tell Shadowthe truth." Speed finished. "That is the....STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD!!" She screamed causing Shadow to knock on the door. "Are you okay?" Heasked softly. "I'm fine! Im gonna die..." Shesaid."You gotta tell him sis." Speed said. "Your right but if he decides to kill me, remeber mee as i was." She said. " He won't kill you, it's his fault anyways." Speed said.

Taryn hung up and met a very concerned Shadow. "Shadow, let's just forget about it, for now." She said. "But you'll tell me later?" He asked and she nodded slowlly. Promising more to herself than Shadow.
