Chapter 2
Jenna walked in the doorway. "It's time to go meet my new teacher Mommy. And are you going to see a doctor, I don't like seeing you sick."
Daisy looked at Jenna and smiled. "I'm going to go right after we meet your teacher, okay? Hey, what would you say to having a little brother or sister?"
Jenna shrugged "I guess that'd be okay. Catherine doesn't get along with her brother and sister very well."
Daisy got up, making sure that Jenna didn't see the test, "Well, that's just Catherine, Kevin and Christine. I'm sure you could get along with a new brother or sister."
Later at the Halloways, Daisy pulled Mrs. Halloway aside for a moment. "I have to go to the doctor; can you watch Jenna for me?"
"Sure" Jessica Halloway said "Is there something wrong?"
Daisy grinned, finally able to tell someone about her news. "I think I'm pregnant."
Jessica gasped quietly "You do???"
Daisy nodded "Yeah, I do. Oh I can't wait to tell Enos, he'll be so happy."
Jessica leaned a little closer to Daisy "Isn't it a bit sudden? I mean you and Enos have been married, what 2 or 3 months?"
"It'll be 3 months on the 25th "Daisy corrected "And Enos and I really want a big family, so I never even started taking birth control."
"Congratulations!!!!!" said Jessica. "Now, does Jenna know? Do you need me to keep quiet about it?"
"That would be a good idea, I want to tell Enos myself and if Jenna knows she'll tell him on accident." Daisy said.
Jessica smiled "I'll be happy to watch Jenna while you go see Doc Applebee." She said, smiling.
"Thanks Jess" Daisy said with a sigh. "I owe you one!"
Over at Doc Applebee's, Doc is just coming back with the tests.
Doc Applebee was smiling as he said "Well Daisy, congratulations, your having a healthy little boy or girl!"
Daisy gasped "Oh, Enos will be ecstatic!!!" Daisy said to herself. "How far along am I?" she asked the doctor.
"From your symptoms it looks like your 6 weeks along." Doc Applebee said.
"Thank you Doc!" said Daisy grinning from ear to ear.
As she left, she started to wonder how to tell Enos. An idea formed in her mind, but it would require a lot of time. She called up Jessica and told her to hold Jenna overnight; she had to talk to Enos. Then she started cooking. Baby corn, baby carrots, and pigs in a blanket with food coloring faces, baby celery, and applesauce. By the time Enos came home, dinner was ready, and Daisy had lit candles and set them on the table.
"Hey Enos, " said Daisy. "Come have a romantic dinner with me."
Enos looked surprised but he grinned and pulled Daisy into a hug "This is a surprise." He said. He kissed her and looked into her eyes. "Is everything okay????" he asked.
"Everything's fantastic Enos! Jenna is at a friend's house tonight, so we have the whole night all to ourselves." She kissed him, but then jerked away to run to the bathroom. After a few minutes, Daisy came out, with Enos right by the door. Enos tried to kiss her, but Daisy pulled away.
"You don't want to kiss me" she said. "I just threw up."
Enos gently pulled her back into his arms. "Yes I do, I always want to kiss you. Even if you have the flu, I'll want to kiss you, even if it makes me sick too and Jenna has to take care of us."
Daisy smiled, Enos was so sweet. "Well at least let me wash my mouth out again." She said "I don't like kissing you when I have the taste of throw up in my mouth."
Enos pulled her close and kissed her. "Daisy, I don't care." he said.
Daisy sighed happily and let Enos kiss her, to tell the truth, she loved kissing Enos, loved the feel of his strong arms around her……Daisy jerked away and made a mad dash towards the toilet again.
"Daisy what's wrong????" Enos was concerned at this point.
Daisy looked up after she had finished "I think we should go and eat; putting some food into my stomach might help." She said.
Enos helped Daisy up and took her to the table. He kissed her forehead as she sat down, and they began to eat. As he kept seeing more little things, like the baby carrots and baby corn, he started to look curious. He just couldn't figure out why Daisy made a lot of little food. Finally, as Daisy served applesauce for desert, he looked up at her and said "Daisy, you sure did cook a lot of little stuff. You've got the baby carrots and baby corn, pigs in a blanket, applesauce, is there some sort of a pattern here?" He stopped for a second and his face light up with realization. "Daisy, are you having a baby?"
Daisy grinned and started laughing, she got up and walked over to Enos, and she took one of his hands and put it on her stomach where the baby would be "Enos, I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of the Strate family…"She sat down on his lap "Our baby."
Enos' eyes opened wide. A baby... with Daisy! It was the biggest thing that had ever happened to him! Or it would be once it was born.
"Daisy" he said "This is going to be the biggest thing ever for me. I never thought I would ever hear you say that to me." He kissed her, picked her up and said "We need to celebrate. What do you want to do?"
Daisy giggled "How about we go out for Ice cream? I'm already starting to crave peach ice cream again" She said.
Enos smiled and kissed her again "Whatever you want Daisy. Anything you want is fine with me." He said, holding her close.
Daisy looked down and wrinkled her nose. "First I need to change out of these clothes." She said, she and Enos moved to their bedroom to change.
Meanwhile, over at the Halloways, Jenna is telling Catherine what happened.
"Why do you think my mommy asked if I wanted a brother or sister?" she asked.
Kevin walked over and said "It's because she's pregnant doofus. And since your not Deputy Strate's real kid, he's not going to love you anymore. He's only going to love his real kids."
Jenna bit her lip to keep back the tears "That's not true, he wouldn't have married mommy if he didn't love me too!!!!"
Kevin laughed and said "Deputy Strate has always loved your mom. If he didn't pretend to like you, she wouldn't have married him, so that's why he pretends. But now that they are gonna have a kid; he doesn't have to pretend anymore."
Jenna ran out of the room crying, Kevin had to be wrong, he had too! Daddy loved her just as much as he loved Mommy. Didn't he?????
Jenna went into the Halloways kitchen and asked Mrs. Halloway if she could use the phone. "I want to talk to Daddy." She said.
"Okay darling, the phone's right here." Mrs. Halloway said, she handed the phone to Jenna and left the room.
Jenna dialed the home number and waited for Daddy or Mommy to pick up. The answering machine kicked on. "Hi, you've reached the Strate family." Mommy's voice said "Please leave a message for Daisy, Jenna or I, at the beep and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you and have a good day." Enos' voice finished the message.
Jenna turned the phone off and set it on the counter. 'They didn't pick up." She told Catherine.
"That's because they don't want you to interrupt them, Deputy Strate probably told your mom not to answer the phone." Kevin said. He laughed and left the room.
Jenna started to cry. "Is it true? Does my daddy not love me anymore?"
Catherine put her arm around her friend. "Kevin's a big goober head, but he's always right, when he said that my Mommy was pregnant with Christine, she was."
Jenna's face fell even more and the tears came down like rain. "Mr. Enos doesn't love me!" She ran back to the phone and called the farm.
Bo picked up the phone "Hello?"
Jenna started crying harder. "Uncle Bo, do you love me?"
Bo got worried, "Of course I do Jenna, what would ever make you think I don't?" he asked.
"Mr. Enos doesn't love me, so I wanted to make sure you did." Jenna sobbed.
Bo stood up, almost knocking his chair over in the rush. "Now whatever gave you that I idea Jenna? Enos loves you just as much as he loves Daisy, he wouldn't have married your mommy if he didn't." Bo said.
"He was pretending to love me so that my mommy would marry him. And now that Mommy is having a new baby, he doesn't have to pretend anymore."
"Daisy's pregnant?" Bo asked. Uncle Jesse and Luke were just coming in the room and they both stopped at those words. Bo ignored them and said to Jenna "You know what Jenna? I know Enos real well, and if there is one thing he can't do, then it's lying. If Enos were to pretend to care about someone, he couldn't do it because he can't lie." Bo said.
"Really? Are you sure?" said Jenna, who was now just sniffling.
"I'm sure Jenna." Bo said. He then asked "Where are you?"
"The Halloway's" Jenna said "I'm spending the night."
"Okay, well you just go to sleep and tomorrow when your mommy and Daddy come to pick you up in the morning you'll see, Enos loves you just as much as he loves your Mommy." Bo said. Jenna thanked him and hung up, she turned to Kevin, who had been standing behind her listening to the phone call.
Kevin laughed. "Your Uncle Bo is a joke! Besides, Deputy Strate told him and your other uncles to not tell you the truth because then you would run off and tell your mommy and then she would divorce him. But now she can't divorce him because of this baby. And if you want to keep your mommy happy, you won't tell her anyway, because then she will be sad and miserable, or she won't believe you and kick you out on the street for lying."
"No" Jenna said, "Your lying!!!!!! Daddy will pay just as much attention to me as before, you'll see, tomorrow when they come to pick me up you'll see, Daddy'll give me a big hug and tell me he loves me!!!" Jenna said.
"Fine, prove it tomorrow morning." Kevin challenged.
"I will!!!!" Jenna said. The she stomped off to Catherine's room where she would be sleeping.
