Okay, I'm back. :D Haha. I decided that I'd do the sequel, just to see how it would work out for everybody.

Basically, if you've ever read Junie B. Jones and a Little Monkey Business, you'll get almost the same idea about this next story. Well, Maddie has found more friends, but then she learns something else as well! Her mom's going to have a baby! How will Maddie react to this problem?

My name is Madeline Fitzpatrick. There are other names to it, but I think it's too long. So don't call me Madeline. Call me Maddie, for short.

I know a lot of words now that I can spell and read. I can read cow and motel and gas. I read them on signs in the car. But I also know another word. It starts with a B.

Its name is B-A-B-Y. I know this word 'cause Mommy told me she was gonna have one.

My whole entire family was having dinner. Only I wasn't actually eating. 'Cause the food was broccoli. But I did eat the meat. I hate veggies.

Sharpay knew, and Ryan knew, and Daddy too. But nobody told me yet. And how rude is that? That's what I'd like to know.

"Maddie, Daddy and I have a surprise for you," said Mommy. My head thinked. Maybe it was a present or something! Presents are the bestest surprises that a girl could ever have!

I jumped out of my seat and did a happy dance. "Where is it, Mommy? Is it wrapped in shiny paper? Does it have a hugie-big bow on the top of it?" I peeked under the table.

Ryan and Sharpay were trying not to laugh. But I don't know why. 'Cause this was serious business here. Daddy came over to me and sat me back in my chair.

"How would you like to have a little brother or sister?" Mommy asked me. I shrugged.

"Maybe, maybe not," I said. "So, where's the present?" I looked under my chair. But Daddy stopped me again.

"The baby will be yours to take care of, too, Maddie," he said. "You'll have your very own sister or brother to play with. Doesn't that sound like a lot of fun?"

"Maybe, maybe not," I said. Then I runned to the downstairs closet and looked inside. 'Cause that's usually where Mommy and Daddy and Santa Claus hide the presents before I get them.

"NOPE! NOT HERE EITHER!" I yelled to them. "WHERE IS THIS DUMB THING ANYWAYS?"

Mommy and Daddy runned in after me. They looked kinda mad.

Daddy sighed. "There isn't a present, Maddie. We said there was a surprise not a present. Remember that?"

"The surprise is that very, very soon, I'm going to have a baby," Mother said. "Do you see what I'm saying?"

"A baby? WHAT KIND OF STUPID DUMB PRESENT IS THAT?" I screamed. Daddy looked so mad and Mommy stomped to the couch steaming.

"I forfeit," she grumbled.

Daddy pulled me into the hallway and told her I owed her anapology. Anapology means I have to say I'm sorry to somebody.

I went back over to her. "I'm sorry." I said flatly. She looked a teensy bit happier at me.

"But guess what?" I asked. "I heard all about babies. They're nothing but trouble!"

Mary-Margaret had a baby sister and when I went over to her house, it wouldn't shut up the whole entire time! Plus also, the crying gave me a headache.

Then mother told me that if the baby ever cries and it won't shut up, she will take the baby outside of the house. Or she would sit in the rocking chair with it until it fell asleep of something.

"Or, Maddie, I can get you your very own earplugs," Daddy decided.

"Okie dokie, I guess the baby's okay with me, now!" I said, clapping. "I think I would like some purple ones, please!" Everyone chuckled, including me even.

We compromised the issue of the baby right at dinner! Compromised means that we talked about it and kept adding more bribes to the offer until I said okay. Mommy and me hugged. Then I hugged Daddy. And Ryan and Sharpay, and Sharpay even letted my sit on her lap!

I finished dinner, but I didn't eat the broccoli. I sneaked it to my cat, PB&J, under the table. But he growled and he spit it out on the new carpet. And Mother found out.

And I didn't get to eat dessert.
