Family Gathers for Dinner at Grandma’s, Only to Face Shocking Inheritance Revelations — Story of the Day
Heading to her grandmother’s 80th birthday dinner, Camilla expects tensions and secrets to surface. For the first time in years, they come together, sparking old rivalries, revealing secrets, and a shocking turn of events that leaves them all stunned.
Scott, Camilla’s spouse, and she were traveling to her grandmother’s house for a family meal. The whole family was together for the first time in a long time.
Grandma Eleanor requested that they all attend her 80th birthday, so they traveled from various cities to be there. After parking the car, Scott let them enjoy the refreshing evening breeze outside.
As they made their way to the front door, Scott complained, “I still don’t get why we’re here.”
Alright. Mom shouldn’t know just yet. At the end of the evening, I might inform Grandma,” Camilla remarked.
“You have a choice, my love. Scott hugged her gently and said, “I’m here for you.
They heard a second vehicle pull in. They turned back and watched Michael, Camilla’s brother, and Stacy, his wife, step out of their vehicle.
“Hey!” Await our arrival! Michael ran over and yelled.
“What inheritance?” one asks. Michael asked the same question as Camilla.
“I’m going to be the one your grandfather left behind. However, you can disregard it. You’re not sure how to be grateful for what you have. Until you learn to appreciate it, I won’t leave you anything! Declared Eleanor.
Hold on! What must we do in order to receive the inheritance? Michael yelled in her direction.
Eleanor responded, “Tell me you deserve it,” as she turned to leave.
When Camilla began to feel sick, she went outdoors and held and massaged her stomach. A short while later, Michael came to join her.
“Maybe we will inherit something,” he informed Camilla.
Camilla answered, “We might have if you hadn’t ruined everything as usual.”
“Me? “You initiated it,” Michael retorted angrily.
“I need this inheritance, Michael. I truly require it, stated Camilla.
Michael shot back, “I need it too.”
“You own eateries! Give me something, please! Camilla lost her temper.
Michael stated, “Business isn’t going well, and Stacy threatens to leave if I don’t fix it.”
Camilla remarked, “That might be good for you.” “I refuse to back down. Scott and I are in dire need of the funds right now.
“And what plans do you have?” Michael enquired.
Camilla turned to leave and entered the house again, saying, “Prove I deserve the inheritance.”
“Hey!” That is unfair! Michael yelled after her.
Eleanor was found in her bedroom by Camilla. Camilla apologized for letting our quarrel spoil your celebration.
“You’re not to blame. Eleanor answered, “Your mother didn’t raise you to be friendly.”
Are you in the mood for anything? Food? Have a drink? Camilla enquired.
“Is this your attempt to demonstrate your merit for the inheritance?”
Putting her palm on her stomach, Camilla added, “Scott and I really need this money right now.” “Due to—”
“Don’t listen to her,” interrupted Michael as he rushed in. She is lying about who I am.
Eleanor clarified, “We weren’t talking about you.” “What were you saying, Camilla?”
“No, not at all significant. Camilla said, “I’ll tell you later,” hoping Michael wouldn’t hear her.
“Grandma, is there anything you need?” Michael said, “Let me help you with something.”
Eleanor remarked, “You’re wrong if you think that sucking up to me will get you the inheritance.” “Let’s return to the table and finish our meal.”
When the three of them went back to the dining room, they noticed that Margaret, Camilla and Michael’s mother, had shown up. Scott and Stacy were still seated.
“My sweethearts! I’m overjoyed to see you! Margaret hugged Camilla after giving Michael a hug. She said, “You’ve gained some weight, Camilla,” which caused Camilla to squint. Everybody took a seat.
“You’re talking about inheritance, Michael informed me. Do I appear on the heirs’ list? Margaret enquired.
“So that explains your visit. Eleanor remarked, “Not surprised that my daughter wants money from me only.”
“Yes, that’s correct,” Eleanor answered.
While holding Stacy’s hand, Michael remarked, “I think we should discuss the inheritance.” “We think it belongs to us.”
“What makes you?” Asking Scott.
“How recently did you visit Grandma?” Camilla enquired.
Michael answered, “We live far away; it’s hard to get here.”
Camilla remarked, “We live far away too, but we visit at least once a month.
“I sent Grandma some groceries!” Michael yelled.
“I assisted her in the house!” Then Camilla yelled back.
“I spoke with her once a week!” Michael bellowed.
“I gave her a call every day!” Camilla let out a cry.
Margaret remarked, “I believe that as the oldest, I should receive the inheritance.”
“No!” Michael and Camilla let out a joint yell.
Margaret exclaimed, gripping her chest, “Oh!”
“Grandma, are you all right?” Camilla enquired.
Yes, just a little bit. Eleanor passed out before finishing her sentence. Camilla ran to embrace her.
“Grandmother! Mama! Make an ambulance call! After yelling, Camilla clutched her stomach and let out a cry.
“What’s off?” Scott questioned tremblingly.
Camilla stated, “It’s starting.”
“What’s the beginning? Work? Asking Scott.
Yes, Camilla exclaimed once more.
“You’re expecting a baby?” Startled, Michael enquired.
“I will become a grandmother!” Margaret cried out.
After Scott dialed for help, an ambulance arrived to take Eleanor and Camilla to the hospital. The others got together and they took Michael’s automobile to the hospital.
“Let’s grab my car,” Michael remarked.
“Okay,” Scott answered.
“Maybe you shouldn’t go, Michael. Hospitals, you know I detest them,” Stacy remarked.
How come? “My sister is giving birth, and my grandma is sick,” Michael remarked.
But Stacy stated, “I don’t want to go.”
Michael responded, “Then stay.”
Margaret, Scott, and Michael followed the ambulance in their cars.
In the birthing room, Camilla was on the verge of giving birth, but she held back until she learned about Eleanor.
“What’s going on with Grandma?” Camilla let out a cry. “Talk to me about my grandmother!”
Scott sat next to her and gripped her hand. “Please, just relax. The infant comes first right now.
“Waiting is not an option. The doctor stated, “We have to deliver.
“What’s going on with my grandmother?” Camilla let out a cry.
She gave birth to a healthy baby girl after the physicians helped her to calm down. When Margaret and Michael came in, she was holding the infant.
“It’s unbelievable that I’m an uncle,” Michael remarked. “I apologize for everything I said during supper.”
Margaret appeared distressed. She questioned Camilla, “Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant?”
According to Camilla, “I didn’t want you to be in her life and then disappear like you did with me and Michael.”
“You’re accurate. I was a bad mother. However, I might be a decent grandmother,” Margaret remarked.
“Let’s go slowly,” Camilla answered. “Are you aware of Grandma’s current situation?”
“Camilla?,” Margaret paused. “You should relax instead of worrying.”
“Whatever became of her?” Camilla persisted.
Michael stated, “Her heart stopped.” “It had been bad for a while,” the doctor stated. She probably wanted us all together for that reason.
When Camilla began to cry, Scott gave her a hug.
A physician made an entrance. Sorry to bother you, but we discovered something among Eleanor’s possessions. With a folded note in his fingers, the doctor continued, “I think you should see it.” Michael took it over to Camilla, and the two of them read it aloud.
I wanted to make a difference because I know that our family isn’t the closest. Though I have more optimism for the younger generation, I still hope it can happen with you. Camilla, despite your best efforts to hide it, I am aware that you are pregnant. I’m overjoyed for Scott and you. I want my great-grandchild to inherit everything I own because of this. This child should learn to love and cherish our family, as it is the most valuable possession we have. Time to say goodbye to Stacy, Michael. It’s time for Margaret to become a better mother and grandma. I hope you all understand how much I adore you all. Learn to love one another as well.
The tears running down Michael and Camilla’s faces.
Michael remarked, “Your little girl looks like she’s very lucky.” “What should I name her?”
First, Camilla glanced at Scott, then at the infant. Scott gave a nod.
“Elanor is her name.”
