Chapter 2
After getting his first assignment for the night Drew quickly made his way into the locker room to put his bag away. No sooner had he opened his locker did he phone chime away and the photo of his sister lit up the screen. Sophie and her husband Josh were on their way back from seeing his parents and were going to stop in on the way through for a night, having breakfast with Drew and Rick and a rest before continuing on their four hour journey back home. Drew hadn't seen Sophie in a while and was glad that she was stopping in for a visit. They were always close when they were little but once College and the Army entered the equation their lives took different routes. However that was going to change now that his baby niece or nephew was about to make a grand entrance.
Finding out while in Afghanistan that he was going to be an uncle, made Drew eager to return home and truly begin his life with Rick. Life couldn't be sweeter he thought to himself as he swiped the call icon on his phone and put it up to his ear.
"Hey Soph, how far away are you?" He asked eagerly as he juggled his bag in one hand while sifting through it looking for his ID badge.
"About an hour we are just leaving New Braunfels. Stopping every 15 minutes to pee is not really a great perk to have when you are pregnant." She said sounding tired and a little annoyed. "It isn't going to be to late for Rick and Bri is it? Josh and I can just as easily book a motel room when we get into town if he is going to be asleep. We don't want to wake Bri."
Scoffing through the phone Drew replied "Don't be silly, Rick would throttle me if he thought you would be staying at a motel when there is a perfectly good made up guest room at our house ready and waiting for you and right next to the toilet I might add. I will text Rick and tell him how long you will be."
Relieved about hearing this Sophie calmed and joked with Drew. "Now just promise me you aren't going to turn me into a Buddha and sit around me all day rubbing my belly talking gaga to the unborn child!"
"I can promise you I won't be doing that but I can't say the same about Rick. He goes all mushy for babies and pregnant bellies. Anyways I have to run its my first day back and I am already late. Don't worry about the time get here when you can. Take your time and drive carefully I have a belly to rub when I get home." He jokingly laughed through the phone.
"Alright we will. Are you sure you don't want me to text Rick and let him know we are going to be late or can you?"
"I can Soph! I need to send him a goodnight text or he won't be able to sleep."
"You 2 make me sick. I love it. See you in a few hours. Don't work to hard. I love you." She said before disconnecting her phone.
Drew couldn't help but smile at himself before he snapped out of the trance like state he was in and quickly sent a text to Rick.
Sophie and Josh are going to be about an hour. Her belly may have grown but it seems her bladder has shrunk. I know you are tired but do you mind waiting up for them. Will see you in the morning. I can't wait. Love
He shoved the phone at the top of his locker and put his ID in his pocket before jogging out to begin his shift.
