Daniel: "What do you mean?"
Me: "Well, okay..."
Amber: "Girlfriend, just spit it out..."
Me: "Okay...you know David was doing a show in New York right?"
All: "Yeah..."
Me: "Well, and you know about those phone calls I've been receiving..."
All: "SAY IT!"
Me: "Yeah, well...turns out...my ex-boyfriend set David up with this girl before, her name is Miley Cyrus and she sexually harassed him. Knowing him, he sent her away and got a restraining order against both of them, but those phone calls were all from Miley. God knows how she got my phone number! So tonight at the show...David went to the bathroom, but before he left he said to check on him in 10 minutes...12 minutes later, I go to the men's bathroom and he's gone. Turns out, Miley kidnapped him and we don't know where he is."
There was a long pause that seemed to drag on until the end of time. I could tell they knew it was bad, but just not this bad. And just as I thought, Lupe started crying...to my surprise, I could see some tears in Daniel's eyes. Amber was still in a state of shock, she didn't know what there was to say. Jeff's mouth was hanging open.
Daniel: "Wait! So let me get this straight...This girl named Miley Cyrus kidnapped David?"
Me: "And that's not the worst part of it either."
Jeff: "WHAT?"
Me: "Uhh...yeah, but now is not the right time. I shouldn't say."
Amber: "What is it?"
Me: "Uhh, I can't say it."
Lupe: "Can...you...please....just...tell us...nothing can be worse," she manages out in between her sobs.
I start crying, but the family has no idea why. They think I just finally was hit with reality that David, my new husband, was missing, but that's not why I was crying.
Daniel's Point-Of-View:
I see Virginia begin to cry, but I don't have a clue why. Instinctively, I stand up and walk over to her. I want to give her a hug, but I don't know if I should. I just think to myself: "What do I do?"
Me: "You don't have to tell us if you don't want to."
Virginia: "I want to and I have to, but I just can't."
Lupe: "Then don't say it."
Virginia: "But I should. And you should know!"
Amber: "Gin, we're all here for you. Just...just say it."
Me: "Yeah, no matter what it is...we'll be here for you," I rub her shoulder so as to soothe her.
Virginia: "Amber, remember when you called me two days ago...I had to go because I was going to the doctor?"
Amber: "Yes..." she gasps. I know she caught on.
Virginia: "Well, it wasn't any old doctor...I want to the gynecologist."
Lupe: "Should you be saying this is from of Daniel and Jeff?"
Virginia: (still crying) "Oh, like it matters anymore. Anyway, I'm pregnant."
Lupe: "Oh my gosh, congratulations!"
Amber: "Congrats! I'm so happy! Well, I'm depressed and happy."
Narration:
That night, the Archuletas received both good and bad news. Virginia had no idea what they were going to do with it. But being a pregnant lady, she was still really depressed. What if this baby was born and David wasn't here to see him or her? The Archuletas, however, were both excited and tearful. However, that house was mixed with emotions for that night. Only time will tell what emotions are lingering in the long run.
