I could not believe the brass neck of the woman  "Mandarin Freeze I've got a bone to pick with you!!"  Walking out of the grocery store I nearly bump into her, there she is as large as life - I could throttle her - where was she only a few hours ago when the band needed her?

"Prelude!!"  She smiled at me like butter wouldn't melt, she's very good at manipulating people, especially our boss, but her rubbish doesn't work with me!!

"What the hell do you think you're playing at??!!  Work - did you forget about it today??"

"Sorry my kid is sick"  That's always her excuse and it's starting to wear a little thin now.

"Your kid is always sick - you didn't even call to let us know - you can't just not turn up for work when you feel like it and this isn't the first time that you have really let the band down is it!!"

"I couldn't just leave him, you have a kid, you know what it's like when they get sick!!" she said  "You have plenty of family and friends to look after your kid - I don't"  How would she know what I've got, its not like I tell her anything about my life.

"That's not the point and you know it, we have an important gig in TWO DAYS and when our lead vocalist just can't be arsed to turn up when we really need to rehearse, it kind of hacks everyone off - especially me!!"  I'm a single parent and I manage, she has a husband, she can't keep using her kid as an excuse.

"I will be there tomorrow, promise!!"  she said flashing one of her sickly smiles at me - like Mandarin's promises are worth jack - she does what she wants, when she wants and doesn't give a damn about anyone but herself!!  She kind of reminds me of the old me.

"Well I'm telling you to your face - I'm putting in a request to have you replaced, you're holding us back and you keep letting us down and I'm not the only band member who feels this way!!"  she just stands there staring at me, I doubt she even cares anyway  "So be prepared - I won't stop till I get you replaced - there are plenty of better singers out there that WOULD give a damn!!!"

"You know what Prelude - you do whatever - bring it on - I'll be the one getting the last laugh and don't you forget that!!"  she turned away then added  "You know Prelude you're quite sexy when you get angry!!"  She started laughing as she walked away.

"Berry Hole!!!!" 

 
Mandarin always get's my back up and she knows it - there is something about that woman that bugs me and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Mango and Prelude are sat watching me and Sunny dancing, talking about us like we are not close enough for us to hear what they are saying.

"Should she really be dancing like that in her condition?"  I hear Prelude asking Mango

"No, I've tried telling her, but you know what's she like, she never listens!!  I don't think she'll accept she is pregnant until it starts showing."

"Maybe we should hide the stereo"  Prelude said and they both started laughing 

"I can hear you two you know, I'm not deaf!!" I snapped at them

I still do a lot of dancing with Sunny, even though Cosmic hates it, we tend to do it mostly when he is at work, what he doesn't see doesn't upset him.  It is just dancing.  I don't see why he gets so upset over it - which kind of makes me laugh when he is quite comfortable with Mango being around knowing hes in love with me, but dancing with Sunny is a big No - No.

My phone started ringing so I stopped dancing to answer it.  "Hello"  nothing - there is just silence - "Hello"  still nobody spoke, I looked at my phone it said withheld number, my second call like this today.  I switched my phone off and instantly forgot about it, as a wave of sickness washed over me and I started fighting to keep waffles down that were threatening to land all over Sunny.

I heaved and Sunny instantly jumped backwards falling over the couch.  "Wooow!!! - Ruby has already covered me in puke once today - pregnant women should come with a warning notice!!"  He said as he picked himself up off the floor while Prelude and Mango are laughing at him.

I really am going to hate being pregnant if I have got to suffer this sickness for the next nine months, I am not just getting morning sickness mine is all day and all night sickness and according to Mango there is no telling when it will stop, if it stops at all.

Mango's phone started ringing  "Hello"  he started to look a little confused  "Hello"  he looked at his phone then switched it off.  "Nobody there - withheld number, you know I have had quite a few of these silent calls lately"  he was looking at me.

"That's what I just had a silent call - my second one today."  I said to Mango  who suddenly started looking concerned.

Crimson started crying in the other room where he had been sleeping, Sunny went to get him and as he walked back into the living room he said   "You know me and Ruby have been having silent calls for a few days now, we thought it was one of you lot playing silly buggers, and Alpine had a few when he was round at our yesterday too."

Mango's phone started bleeping again, this time it was a text message.  He stood looking at it for ages without saying anything, a look of shock on his face, then finally he spoke  "I'm watching you nerd"

"What?!"  me and Sunny both said at the same time.

"The text it says - I'm watching you nerd"  he was still stood there just staring at his phone  "You know I've got a really really nasty feeling about this ............. Lime"

"Don't be silly Mango - she doesn't have a clue where we all vanished too!!"  Sunny said  "How could she, besides I doubt after this amount of time ......."  Mango wasn't listening he started talking cutting Sunny's words off 

"There is only one place I have ever been called Nerd - at that school - Lime was the one who always used to call me Nerd all the time - it just has to be her!!!"  He looked at me and Sunny  "It's no coincidence that we are all getting these prank calls - give me another explanation that would make any sense other than Lime!!!" 

I for one couldn't think of any other explanation for it, it could only be Lime, we had all upset her, but I can't imagine how she could have found us here in this town - thousands of miles away from the town where we went to school.

Cosmic came home later that day after work in a really good mood.  He has had another promotion and another bonus,  more money to go towards our house funds which are growing quite nicely, and even though Prelude says we can stay here for as long as we like, we would really love our own space.

Cosmic's phone started to ring  "Hello"  he just stood there listening and staring at me, I knew straight away that he too was getting the silent calls.   "Hello"  he said again.  After listening for a short time he shut off his phone looking pretty mad  "That's the third silent call I've had this afternoon - some idiot must think its pretty damn funny!!"

He was shocked and far from happy to find out he wasn't the only one getting them - that we were all getting them.  Comic's first thought was automatically that it had to have something to do with Lime too.

His good mood now vanished, he is angry, scared that his 'secret' is coming back to get him, he shouted a little then went off to see Sunny and Mango.

The phone calls and text messages just kept coming for all of us.  I am watching them all constantly answering their phones to silent calls and I am also getting my fair share of them.  The text messages that started coming confirmed for all of us, without a doubt, Lime was behind it.  I am once again being called the colourless freak via text - Lime is definitely back to haunt us all and I dread to think what she has planned for us all.

As the months started rolling by it didn't stop. Cosmic and Mango, seemed to be getting the worst of it, why Mango I couldn't quite figure out, if it had been me or Alpine I would have understood that, but Mango - he never actually did anything that day other than stand there and laugh with everyone else. 

Mango thought we should report it all to the police and let them sort it out,  but Cosmic couldn't take the risk of his "secret" being dug up.  This caused Cosmic and Mango to have a right bust up which actually ended up with them fighting, Prelude had to part them.  Things were getting very tense with everyone and they were doing their best to hide things from me.

Cosmic and Prelude always seemed to be having whispered conversations which sometimes grew into arguments, but their conversations always stopped whenever I walked past them.

I suddenly realized they were 'baby sitting' me - there is always one of them around with me, if Prelude and Cosmic were both at work, Mango or Sunny would appear, I was never left alone for a minute.   I'm beginning to think they are up to something, or something is going on that they are not telling me about.

Cosmic didn't want me worrying about anything because of the baby, he tried to convince me that everything was fine and there was nothing for me to worry about - but I just know there is something that he is not telling me.

Their only worry is that she might be in this town, so they have been trying to track her down, without any success.  There is no sign of her in the town where we went to school, Cosmic has contacted some old friends and Ruby has contacted Ice and she hasn't seen her since school, nobody has seen her - it is like she has just vanished.

I'm sure if she is in town one of us would have seen her by now, it is not exactly a huge place, there really are not many places to hide in this town.  Mango has scowered all the medical records and can't see any sign of her, but she could be married, she could quite easily have changed her name - seeing her here is the only way we are ever going to be sure.

"Do you seriously think that she would want revenge for what we did to her??"  I couldn't see that she would go to the trouble of tracking us down and coming thousands of miles just to get her own back on us, when really all we did was make a fool of her.

"Knowing Lime, Yes, but I thought with us moving so far way she wouldn't find us and we wouldn't see or hear from her again."

"Well she has managed to get all of our phone number,  how has she done that?" I asked him, something that has been bugging me, it's not like any of our phone numbers are listed in the phone book, getting one is understandable but not all of them - its like she has been into one of our phones to get everyone's number.

"I don't know I can't figure that one out myself,  but it's been months and she's done nothing - she's just probably trying to scare us, I doubt she will take it any further - I want you to stop worrying and just concentrate on that little baby of ours!!"

"Just promise me Lilly that you won't go out alone, just in case she is in town."

Chapter 17 - Gen 1 - Lilly

~Start of Something Good~



Watching Cosmic and Prelude giggling together like a pair of children makes me smile, it also makes life so much easier with them getting on so well.  Actually Prelude has made our move to Sugar Valley, after school finished, pretty much painless and stress free.  He has looked out for me like a big brother should.

Prelude brought a house with four bedrooms, large enough for us to share, and that was his intentions for us to live with him and Affair.  I was really not very happy with the idea at first, still not sure if I can completely trust him, but really it made a lot of sense and has worked out pretty well for all of us, much better than I ever could have imagined.

I loved Preludes house the minute I saw it which really surprised me.  I had visions of it being decorated in lots of different shades of Purple and only purple and that it would remind me of our parents house and my childhood.  Shockingly this house is decorated in not just purple, but colourless curtains,carpets and furniture are scattered around the house, the whole house is purple and colourless - that I never imagined to see.

My brother surprised me in a lot of ways over the coming months, he is far from the person I thought I once knew.  Like his love for music - where did that come from?  I am not sure if this Prelude has always been there and I have just never seen him because he was always too busy being evil around me, or if this is a new Prelude changed by Affairs birth.

Watching Prelude with Affair he is actually an amazing Dad, I never would have put him down as the parental type.  I worried at first with our arrangement of me child minding while Prelude went to work, I thought I would end up looking after my little nephew permanatly, but I was wrong, yet again he proved me wrong.  His whole life revolves around that little boy and when Prelude is around nobody else can get near Affair.

We had planned on renting somewhere until we could afford to get our own house, but living with Prelude is giving us the chance to save a lot quicker.  Cosmic works at the sports stadium, Prelude works at the theatre, and I stay home full time and look after Affair.  It has worked out pretty well for all of us, Prelude saves on child minding fees and we save on rent and we are all quite happy.

Even Affair is really happy, his life has changed drastically, he is no longer  the quiet wary withdrawn toddler that I first met.  He now has friends of his own age to play with, Crimson and Cherry - Ruby and Sunny's twins, something he has never had before.   Affair is treated just like all the other toddlers in town, here he is just a regular toddler like all the rest.  He will never have to suffer any of what I went through as a child.

Life is pretty good for all of us.

"Lilly do you even know what you are doing??"  Cosmic asked me as he stood watching me struggling with a bowl of cake mix, he already knows I have to be the worlds worst cook, I can't even make a simple cake without something going wrong!!  "If I go jogging you are not going to try and burn the house down again are you?"  He is never going to let me live that down is he!!  Ok so the first time I tried to cook us a meal I set the cooker and half the kitchen on fire.  Really, it was his fault he distracted me, carrying me off upstairs and making me forget I had something cooking in the oven.

Prelude was really not very happy to come home to find fire engines outside and a blackened smoke filled kitchen.  If there ever was a time for him to loose his temper or let his evil side take over - that should have been it, but he didn't he kept his cool surprisingly.

"I'll try not too burn it down!!"  Cosmic just walked off laughing

I ran out of the house and nearly bumped into a purple boy standing by the front door who looks like he is rooting through his pockets for something that he couldn't find,  muttering under his breath to himself. 

"Got ya!!!!"  he said to himself, he held up a key and smiled at it.  Then he noticed me stood there watching him  "Oh hello ........... are you Cosmic?"  The purple boy asked me, it actually seemed strange to see a pure berry in this town, I have not really seen that many since we arrived here.

"Yes?"  I said and he smiled at me, I didn't have a clue who he might be, probably because I wasn't thinking, I should have known from his hair and eye colour, they are exactly the same as Preludes - of course - I felt pretty stupid when he introduced himself.  My jogging plans had just flown straight out of the window.

"I'm Mulberry, Lilly's brother." Oh boy, is she in for a shock!!  I looked around wandering how he had got here, he explained that Prelude had just dropped him off on his way to collecting Affair from his sleepover at Ruby and Sunny's.  Mulberry said he would be staying here for the school holidays - a surprise for Lilly - she hates surprises, but I think she might not mind this one too much once she has gotten over the initial shock.

I wandered why Prelude had gone out really early this morning,  I heard him going out at 5am and thought it strange, he has obviously been to fetch Mulberry..... he didn't tell either of us what he was up to, we weren't expecting Mulberry to visit until the six weeks summer holidays, this holiday is spring break..

I stood in the hallway talking to Mulberry quietly but Lilly must have heard us  "I thought you was going jogging, who are you talking too?"  she shouted from the kitchen


"You need to come out here Lilly, you have a visitor."   she wanted to know who, I could hear her bumping and banging about in the kitchen cussing, I dreaded to think what shape that cake was in now.  Well there is no easy way of doing this so I just came out with it "Your brother, Mulberry."

"WHAT!!!????"   she screamed then we heard a smash   "DAMN!!!!   IVE DROPPED THE CAKE NOW - IDIOT - MIDNIGHT YOU BETTER NOT BE WINDING ME UP!!!!!!"

"That cake would probably have been uneatable anyway, the last one was, if she trys to give you cake, refuse it, look at my chipped tooth - that was her last cake!!."  I whispered to Mulberry pointing at my chipped tooth.  We both started laughing as Lilly carried on screaming about the cake mix being everywhere and If I'm winding her up I am in big trouble. Mango walked in and looked a little distressed at all the shouting coming from the kitchen, I was too busy laughing to explain to him what was going on.

Lilly came storming out of the kitchen covered in cake mix still swearing at herself, I don't think she believed Mulberry was actually here.  She stopped suddenly when she spotted Mulberry stood there grinning at her.

"Midnight I'm gonna throttle you!!"  She only ever calls me Midnight when I'm in trouble, so what did I do now?!.

I really couldn't believe my eyes,  my little brother just standing there in front of me the biggest grin I've ever seen on his face, only he isn't so little any more, he's a teenager.  I really wasn't prepared for this.  Maybe he did remember me after all.

"MULBERRY!!"

Mulberry is still a toddler in my mind, probably because I have never had the imagination to guess how he might look being older than the last time I saw him.  I'm looking at this teenage boy and finding it hard to believe that Mulberry is all grown up and I have missed so much.  I noticed he has Dads hair and eyes like Prelude, and Prelude was right about one thing, Mulberry is the better looking one of the two of them.

Prelude came in laughing, asking if I liked my surprise - It felt strange to be stood there with my two brothers laughing and joking, something I could have staked my life on never happening twelve months ago, but here we are - it just shows how wrong you can be sometimes. I am even beginning to forget how evil Prelude used to be as I see very little signs of it from him now.  Did I dare to even believe finally we were like a proper family - minus our parents of course.

I wandered how long it would be before Mom and Dad were brought up, Prelude was the first one to mention them, they wanted to know when they were going to get to see me, it was even suggested that maybe I could drive back with them when he took Mulberry home so I could visit.

"I think you already know my answer to that Prelude - Never and forget it!!"  I really didn't want to talk about our parents and he knows that already.  I noticed the boys sharing an awkward glance with each other, that made me lose my temper a little - if they wanted to see me so badly they would have done something about it by now - they could have gotten off their backsides and come to see me, even tried to contact me, none of this they have tried to do and I doubt they ever will - it will be left for me to go to them -  and why should I?!.

I told them both if they were going to have any sort of future relationship with me, our parents would definitely not be included in it and if they didn't want to upset me they were not to mention them and definately not push me to have anything to do with them, because that will never be happen.

Maybe it would be a little harder for Mulberry to understand he was only a toddler, he never really saw what it was like for me, but I thought that Prelude should understood where I am coming from, he was there he was a big part of the problem, and since he has walked back into my life we have already had this conversation me and him, he knows exactly how I feel, but still he had to ask.  I get the feeling he thinks he can change my mind over time, but he is sadly mistaken.  I might have forgiven him but I'll never forget, that will always be there between us, I only gave him a second chance because of Affair and he knows that.

 
It felt really strange having Mulberry around, he just fitted in with us all like he had always been here.  I had to keep pinching myself every time I looked at him - seeing him again was the only thing that I ever wanted to do all the time I was at school, now he is here it doesn't seem real somehow.  He is a really nice boy and no trouble, kind and polite, quite the opposite of how Prelude was at his age, it actually surprised me watching Mulberry and Prelude together just how close they are.  It makes me think they must have had a great family life with me out of the way, that hurt.

Mango never got to carry out his threat of not having anything to do with me after school.   He is around here quite often with Sunny and Alpine, I'm the only one that will put up with the boys constantly playing x-box,  Ruby and Caramel just give them ear ache, so here is where they tend to hang out the most.  At first Mango tried to keep his distance, but the other boys constantly nagged him about the distance he was putting between them, until I think he gave up.  Not even Cosmic knew about the conversation that me and Mango had when he told me he couldn't be friends with me after school anymore.

Even though Mango does spend a lot of time here, he spends more time with Cosmic than me.  He has placed a brick wall between the two of us and if he can avoid talking to me he will.

"Where is Ruby?"  I heard Cosmic asking Sunny as I made my way across the living room to sit down.

"Can't you hear her - she's in the bathroom throwing up - I don't know why she has to be so loud when she's puking!!"

"Oh, I thought that was Lilly, they must have the same stomach bug, it must be catching!!"   Cosmic said quite innocently, Sunny and Mango started laughing they found it highly amusing, obviously they knew something we didn't  "What's so funny Sunshine?"

"Morning sickness, Ruby is pregnant again"  he started laughing again and so did Mango "Is Lilly pregnant??"  Only Sunny is laughing now, Mango has suddenly gone very quiet, I noticed him quickly glance over at me with a troubled look on his face.

"NO!! I'm not pregnant, i think it's something I ate!!!"  I snapped at him.  I have been sick for a few days on and off, but I couldn't be pregnant we are being doubly careful, I would be pretty damn stupid getting pregnant right now.

We are getting married in seven months time and the last thing I want is to have a huge stomach on my wedding day.  Why the wait?  Prelude!!  We had planned to get married straight after graduation but Prelude really was not happy with it.  We are too young, it's too soon - he came over like the over protective brother, even threatened to drag Mom and Dad into the argument.  Like it is any of their business anyway, as far as I am concerned they gave up any rights they had over me years ago!!  After the only argument we have actually had since he's walked back into my life, we came to a compromise 18 months and we would be getting married whether he liked it or not.

Our quiet quick wedding has turned into a big affair, the wedding chapel, the dress, the cake, the reception,  the works - which has been a nightmare in the planning and a big dent on Preludes pockets as he offered to pay for it all to compensate the wait.  Secretly I'm getting the fairytale wedding that I always wanted but never expected would every happen to me - so in the end the wait has not been so bad.

Ruby and Sunny got married straight after graduation, Caramel and Alpine got married about a month ago, they all thought we would be the first to get married and so did we until Prelude stuck his big foot down. We have talked about children and both want them but decided to wait until after we got married, it would really be nice to have our own place before any babies arrive.

I have only eaten a small plate of salad and already I could feel it coming back up.  I had to run off to the toilet because I know I am not keeping it down.  I really hated being sick and I have done too much of it over the past few days, but the strange thing is I don't actually feel ill, a little tireder than normal maybe but I just don't seem to be able to keep any food down.  I haven't even considered that I might be pregnant until now - I really hope I'm not, that is the last thing I need right now.

"Maybe you should let me run some tests?"  Mango stood waiting for me to come out of the bathroom.  Always the Doctor, he grabbed my wrist feeling for my pulse, then he felt my forehead with the back of his hand.

"I'll be fine, it's nothing really, I'm sure it will pass."  He's pulling down my bottom eyelid and is peering at it while I'm trying to talk.  He fusses so much the minute any of us are ill, like his parents he decided on a medical career, he surprised us all by how quickly he became a qualified doctor, all those years of swatting his parents medical books certainly paid off for him.

"Think about Affair if not for yourself you can never be too careful around young children - Ruby and Caramel are both pregnant remember if you do have a stomach bug ......"

"Ok Ok, you can run some tests"  I know there is no point arguing with him he won't shut up until he gets his own way.  He said he would pick me up tomorrow after dinner and take me in for some tests.

An awkward silence fell between us.  I hated it, I wished we could just go back to the way we used to be, I really missed him, but I know that isn't possible.  Looking at his face I suddenly realized how drawn he looks and how thin he has become, he actually looks ill, I wandered if he has been working too hard, I know being a doctor is a very tiring job and knowing Mango he probably over does it, he gives everything 110% so no doubt he is no different with his job.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was surprise when I came down the next morning to find Mango and Cosmic sat eating pancakes in just shorts and trainers, I thought Mango might have stayed over, I went to bed early because of being  really tired and the boys were still playing x-box.

"No I've had him out with me this morning, jogging, we need to get some meat on him, he's like a matchstick."  Cosmic started laughing  "That girlfriend of his is going to snap him in half if she's not careful"  Mango had stopped eating and was just sat staring at the wall.

"Girlfriend?"  I couldn't  help it and I bet they heard the shock in my voice,  I didn't even know he had a girlfriend, he had said nothing about it to me, but then why should he, he hardly talks to me these days.

He stood up suddenly ignoring my question and leaving his pancakes "I'd better get changed she'll be hear to pick me up in a minute"  he took off out of the kitchen and ran up the stairs

Apparently this is not his first girl friend, they don't seem to last very long, this one he has been seeing for a few weeks, and Cosmic thought I knew.  Mango certainly has kept that quiet and I've not heard him mention her, isn't it normal for men to  talk  moan about their girlfriends, Alpine and Sunny never shut up about Caramel and Ruby, but I've never heard Mango say one word about his.

Cosmic thinks its a good thing, at least he might stop pining after me and he is trying to get on with his life without causing us any problems which he thought he might do.  Finding out he has a girl friend kind of makes me feel strange.

I am still eating my pancakes, very slowly, I'm finding them hard to swallow.  Cosmic had shot off to the gym and Mango came back into the kitchen to clean up his plate.  I heard the doorbell ring and Mulberry answered the door, I heard a woman asking for Mango and Mulberry told her to go into the kitchen.

I really don't know what I expected Mango's girlfriend to look like, but she definitely wasn't it.  She wasn't quite orange it was a strange colour like a dark terracotta and she has purple hair - she is actually quite pretty too.

"Lilly this is Lavender."  Mango said as she walked into the kitchen.  I turned and looked at her, she is just stood there glaring at me and not in a nice way either,  it kind of shocked me, it has been quite a while since anyone has looked at me in the wrong way - I wandered what her problem was.  I instantly took a disliking to her, just her name Lavender, the same as my mothers, was enough for me not to like her.  Pathetic - I know!!!

I really don't know what came over me, standing up to put away my plate I saw Mango hugging her, I had to look away -  it felt like a punch to the stomach, a shock to the system - I didn't like it one little bit - I know there is no reason for me to feel that way but I did.  To me she is another brick in that wall he is building between us, is she the one who is going to take my best friend away from me completed.  I hated her already and I hadn't even given her a chance.

"Lilly I'll be back after dinner to pick you up for your tests - don't forget!!"  I said ok as I ran to the bathroom to throw up the pancakes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few days later my phone started ringing, Mango's name flashed up on my screen.  "Lilly I've got your test results."  so cold and clinical, no friendly hello, it really hurt me.   "Health wise you are fine but you're ...... Pregnant"  he hesitated before he said the word pregnant - I just felt another brick go into that wall between us.  Pregnant!?  He just said Pregnant!!

"NO!!! Please tell me you're joking - I can't be!!"  All I could think about - my wedding dress, and how in 7 months time it is not going to fit me.

"I've made you an anti natal appointment, Monday 1pm, if its not convenient you can phone up and change it."  The tone of his voice cut me up and I can't concentrate on what he is telling me.  "I've got to shoot."  The call cut off abruptly.  I just stood there staring at my phone for a few minutes, my head swimming - why is he being so rude all of a sudden?

"Fudge ....... Fudge!!!"  Then it finally hit me - a baby - I'm having a baby  "Oh Berry!!!!"

Lilly, what's wrong??"

"Midnight - you're in big trouble!!"   he looked at me a little confused  "I'm pregnant."

"Really!!??  That's great!!"  he picked me up and swung me round obviously he is happy about the pregnancy - then he suddenly dropped me back onto my feet  "Hang on why am I in trouble exactly?"

"My wedding dress it's not going to fit me now!!"  He started to laugh at me

"Sod your wedding dress, we'll just have to get you a new one!!"
