What a surprise! I thought maybe she wanted to make up, but that wasn’t the reason she phoned.“Your Nonna’s had a fall at home and she’s been taken to hospital,” she said.“What? Why did she fall? Did she trip? Is she all right?”“I’m not sure what happened, Gina,” Mum said. “I’ve got to go down to Hamilton and find out. She’s having tests at the moment. It doesn’t look like she’s hurt herself too badly, but they want to find out why she fell.”“Is it anything serious?” I asked. I suddenly felt guilty for not having seen Nonna for so long.“I won’t know until I get there, Gina,” Mum said harshly. “And I can’t really afford to take the time off work, so I’ll drive down today and come back tomorrow once I’ve seen her and found out what’s wrong. I’ll let you know when I get back.”As I put the phone down, I wondered if Nonna knew I was pregnant. I know I haven’t told her, but maybe Mum has. She’ll probably be mad at me because I’m not married.Poor Nonna, I hope she’s okay.12 NovemberMum phoned me earlier.
