Alla Sergeyevna arrived at her daughter\u2019s place at the crack of dawn. She was in such a rush that she forgot to call and began pounding on the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cLena! Open up!\u201d<\/p>\n
Lena, still half-asleep, opened the door. \u201cMom, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
Alla Sergeyevna pushed past her. \u201cTell me, is it true?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat exactly?\u201d Lena asked calmly, knowing her mother well.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t play dumb! Dasha and Masha came to me in tears last night! Do you understand they\u2019re in shock?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are they shocked about?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLena! Enough! Is it true that you\u2019re pregnant?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you talk about it so calmly?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow else should I?\u201d Lena smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you kidding me? The girls are teenagers\u2014they know this is abnormal!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbnormal? I\u2019m married, Mom. And children happen. The girls are still young\u2014they\u2019ll understand in time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re practically grown! Why did you even tell them?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause they\u2019re going to have a sibling. Should I hide it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait\u2026 Are you actually planning to give birth?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you out of your mind? You\u2019re almost forty!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst, it\u2019s dangerous. Second, why? Third, Vadik doesn\u2019t want children. He was happy your girls were older\u2014no diapers, no fuss.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s for now. He just doesn\u2019t know what it means to have his own child,\u201d Lena said. \u201cHe\u2019ll warm up to the idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou haven\u2019t told him yet?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless Dasha and Masha did.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPerfect! And where is he? It\u2019s morning, and he\u2019s not home.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the night shift. He\u2019ll be back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWonderful. Then we\u2019ll discuss it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDiscuss what, Mom? I\u2019m not asking for permission.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you realize what your daughters have declared?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, but I have a feeling you\u2019ll tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said if you have this baby, they\u2019ll leave home!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey won\u2019t go anywhere. It\u2019s just protest.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if not?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen I must have raised them poorly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLife hasn\u2019t taught you anything\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t start, Mom.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not? I thought after your first divorce you\u2019d wise up.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember everything,\u201d Lena snapped. \u201cYou remind me often. Yes, you helped me then. Thank you. But I don\u2019t need help now. And I can\u2019t get rid of the baby\u2014it\u2019s already alive. How can I? It\u2019s like Dasha or Masha. No. I can\u2019t. And I don\u2019t want to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Vadik? What if he leaves you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen he leaves.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you\u2019ll struggle alone with three kids?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cStruggle? I earn well, I have an apartment. We\u2019ll manage.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. But don\u2019t count on me! And I hope nothing works out for you!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, what are you saying?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou still have months ahead. Anything can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Mom. For the support, for the well wishes\u2026 Isn\u2019t it time for you to go home?\u201d Lena asked, holding back tears.<\/p>\n
\u201cKicking me out?!\u201d Alla Sergeyevna shrieked.<\/p>\n
Lena said nothing, walked into another room, and closed the door. Alla Sergeyevna left, slamming the door.<\/p>\n
As she exited the building, she ran into Vadik. \u201cAlla Sergeyevna, is something wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAsk your wife!\u201d she snapped and stormed off.<\/p>\n
Vadik entered the apartment. \u201cLena, what was that about?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe fought.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s new,\u201d he joked. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lena hesitated. She had never felt so insecure with Vadik before. \u201cCome what may,\u201d she thought and quietly said, \u201cVadik, I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d He was losing patience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to have a baby.\u201d Lena tensed, awaiting a scandal.<\/p>\n
\u201cA baby? Us?\u201d Vadik was bewildered. \u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve already registered at the clinic. If you\u2019re against it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAgainst it?!\u201d Vadik lifted her into his arms. \u201cI\u2019m happy!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course! I\u2019ve dreamed of this my whole life!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you said you didn\u2019t want children.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause it never worked out! So I pretended I didn\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank God,\u201d Lena sighed, then remembered bitterly. \u201cThe girls are against it. And Mom too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo be it. Don\u2019t stress. I\u2019ll talk to them myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lena gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Vadik was overjoyed. Dasha and Masha, who swore they wouldn\u2019t come near him, couldn\u2019t take their eyes off their little \u201cPashenka.\u201d<\/p>\n
And as for the grandmother\u2014she didn\u2019t come. Something held her back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
