Not my best work, but here it is.

“He’s what?!” she shouted.
“He’s a Halfie, like Ness… Oops!” Seth said.
I was ready to snap his head off, but before I could walk toward him, I saw mom fall to the floor.
“Mom!” I screamed and went to pick up off the floor, while the rest hovered over me.
“Could someone get me some water to wake her up please?” I asked. Seth left for the kitchen and came back with the glass. “Should I throw it on her?” he asked, readying to “spill”.
“No… give me that” I said and to the glass from him.
“Mom, snap out of it. Come on, you can wake up now.” I said, sprinkling water in her face.
Her eyes started fluttering. “What? What happened?” she asked dazed.
“You fainted” I told her.
“Ugh… Sorry Leah, you just caught me there. I wasn’t expecting that one.”
“Don’t worry; to tell you the truth, I was expecting a worse reaction from you than fainting.”
“Yeah, she thought you’d fly off the deep end” Seth said.
“Leah… I probably would have, but my life’s always been full of surprises. Your father wasn’t exactly normal”
She was talking about the fact that dad was a werewolf, I could see she understood.
I got up off the floor and lifted her, then we went to sit on the sofa and everyone followed.
“So… I have a son in law now?” she asked chuckling a little.
“It’s a little too soon for that mom” I said and blushed, stupid reaction!
“They’re just getting to know each other Sue” Jake told her.
She nodded and yawned. “Ok, I think today’s been… eventful enough. I think I need to rest a bit” she said, laying her head on the couch.
“Ok mom, sleep for a bit. We’ll be back later to check on you.”
