The Twelfth

I wake up alone, the bedclothes cold. I gather up my pyjamas from where they were discarded last night and pull them on before wrapping a robe around me. It is after ten and I feel sheepish for having slept in so late. I make my way downstairs and find Taylor and Nicola mooching around, cups of coffee in hand.

“Morning, sleepyhead,” Taylor calls across from the kitchen. “Coffee?”

“Please…” I mumble, in serious need of some caffeine. Yeah, yeah. I know you are supposed to go all decaf and shit when you are pregnant, but I am like a bear with a sore head if I don’t get my morning fix. I tried, really tried, but I lasted only about a week before I caved, so now I just try to limit myself to one a day. I hop onto one of the barstools and gratefully take the latte that Taylor offers me. I sip slowly, gradually waking up and feeling ready for the day ahead.

Nicola suddenly squeals, and we both look over at her as she excitedly taps on her phone. “What’s up, Stix?” Taylor asks.

Seeing us both staring at her, Nicola suddenly blushes. “Um, this guy, Chris, from school asked me out.”

“And is he a douchebag like that Bryan guy?” Taylor asks. I can see him clenching his fists by his sides whilst trying to control his emotions. I know he is still trying to get to grips with what happened to his baby sister earlier in the week and the fact that he wasn’t there, but it was probably for the best; otherwise Taylor would have probably ended up facing assault charges.

“No, Taylor. Chris is a good guy. I have liked him for ages, but he is kind of shy. He tried to warn me off Bryan, and I didn’t listen.” I can see that Nicola desperately wants her brother’s approval.

Taylor softens his expression, clearly wrapped around his little sister’s finger. “Okay, Stix, but if he so much as looks at you wrong, he is going to answer to me. Understand?”

“Yes, overprotective big brother.” Nicola sighs dramatically.

“No, seriously, Stix. When I think about what could have happened to you the other night…” Taylor trails off, and a sombre expression crosses Nicola’s face as she is reminded of the reality of the situation.

“I know, Tay. I know.” The words come out barely above a whisper. Taylor crosses the room and wraps his baby sister in a tight hug. She starts to cry softly, and Taylor rubs her back as he waits for Nicola to calm down, whispering soothing words into her ear.

I don’t want to intrude, so I pad back upstairs to grab a shower in Taylor’s space-age Tardis. I have just finished getting dressed when Taylor pokes his head through the door. “Hey, beautiful. Breakfast is ready.”

“Thanks. I’ll come down now. Is Nicola okay?” I ask.

“Yeah, she is all good. Now come get something to eat.” Taylor holds out his hand, and when I reach mine out, he grabs it, pulling me in for a quick kiss before leading me downstairs.
