in to the kitchen and took in the situation immediately.
    “What the hell is going on?” Cora barked as she danced around the broken bits of porcelain. She was barefoot so that can tell you all about her level of intellect and refinement.
     
    “Who broke my coffee mug?” Meredith squawked staring straight at Sienna’s face as if that was the biggest problem this family were facing.
    “What’s going on?” she then asked inquisitively. She waited for her mom to say something, anything, but she didn’t. She remained mute and impassive just like her heart. Instead she wiped away her tears and started gathering up the letters and returning them back in to the box.
     
    “Nothing. I’ll clean up the mess. Just…go back to bed.” Sienna sighed as her mom avoided her disappointed gaze. “I’m not going anywhere until somebody tells me what the hell’s going on!” Meredith yelled then screwed her eyes at Sienna for a few short moments.
     
    “You’re pregnant , aren’t you?” she gasped. Sienna stilled instantly as all eyes fell upon her followed by deafening silence.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    7.
     
     
     
     
     
    “No!” Sienna yelped suddenly.
    “ God , why would you even think that?” she asked outraged that she would even think that. Did her family know her at all?
    “What? Its not a shocking question with the way you’ve been behaving recently.” She said derisively with a sneer on her face. Sienna closed her eyes and took a deep breath, choosing to ignore her sister even though it was clear she had been sent on Earth to drive Sienna crazy.
     
    “I’m not pregnant. I’m still a virgin. Not that it’s any of your damn business!” She sighed annoyed with her sister’s disbelieving looks.
    “Well then why is mom crying?” she bellowed.
    “I’m fine, girls, honestly go to bed.” She replied softly and blew her nose on a piece of Kleenex tissue.  Meredith and Cora exchanged disbelieving looks with each other and stood their ground. They weren’t going anywhere without answers.
    “Are you going to tell them or should I?” Sienna asked her mother. Her mother stood up and wrapped her arms around her eldest daughters and took a deep breath.
    “I will.” She replied shakily.
     
    “Tell us what?” Meredith asked sounding like a frightened child. Cora remained silent and wide-eyed as if she were expecting her mom to announce she had cancer or something. “Just say it mom!” Meredith yapped. Her heart raced and thudded against her ribcage rhythmically sounding like the hooves of a thoroughbred charging for battle. ‘ This is it. She’s finally going to tell them about her all of her affairs. She’ll tell them how it wasn’t my fault daddy died. She’s finally going to tell them about her drink problem. Finally, everything will be out in the open and I won’t feel so alone buried alive with all these secrets anymore .’ She thought feeling immensely relieved. Maria rubbed her beloved daughter’s backs and looked at them lovingly before turning to look at Sienna. Something suddenly shifted in her hazel eyes that sparked confusion in Sienna’s mind.
     
    “Your sister is severely ill. She has been for quite some time. She needs medical and professional help.” She breathed out and looked at Sienna worryingly. Sienna could see both her sisters exhale breaths of relief simultaneously as they took in the new information.
     
    “What? Me? I’m fine! You’re the one who needs help!” Sienna shouted. How dare she? How dare she turn this all on me? She thought frantically. Meredith hugged her mom tightly. “Oh thank God, for a second there I thought you were going to say cancer.” She said erratically.
    “Oh for the love of God and all that is holy! I am not pregnant and I do not have cancer! What the hell goes on in your head?” Sienna shrieked exasperatedly putting her hands in the air and began taking her shoes off. Her feet were sore
