What do you think aunt Sheila's reaction was when dad told her? Told her that he proposed to Astrid.
They'd just been together for a few months. Not even a year.

Sheila
"Guess what?" Edmund said, one day. We were standing in his room. I had just changed curtains.
"Astrid and I are getting married!" he said with a big smile.
I didn't answer him at first. I just frowned and tried to see if he was joking or not.
"You did WHAT?!" I exclaimed.
"Wh.. what now?" he looked at me. Almost scared.
"You haven't even been with her for a year!" I said. "What happened to Kristin? You were together for... Since high school! And you never proposed to her!"
"I didn't like Kristin as much as I love Astrid!" he said.
I jeered. "Of course you did! And what about Sebastian, what do you think he is going to say about this? None of us likes Astrid, least of all him."
"Sebastian?" Edmund glared at me. "I don't care about that kid's thoughts. I never wanted a kid to take care of."
I couldn't believe my ears! I knew he hadn't been the best father, but THAT?!
"How can you say that?" I exclaimed. "He's your son! You're supposed to love him!"
"Supposed to, yeah, but I don't." Edmund said.
"OH MY GOD! I can't believe we're siblings!" I shouted.
I was so angry.
Before Edmund could say anything, I bitchslapped him. The hardest I could.

Sebastian
Sheila came walking down the stairs. I could hear it was her. She always walked with easy steps.
"Sebastian!" she said and came up to me. "Hey..."
I could see in her face something had happened. She looked upset.
"Hi..." I said slowly. "What... is wrong..?"
"Oh," she tried to smile. Fake and big. "Nothing, nothing. Just your father who proposed to that bitch Astrid. Nothing more than that!"
My eyes wided and I could feel my heart sink with both anger and disappointment.
"He did?"
"I'm sorry, Sebastian.." she said and hugged me.
I didn't answer.
