Chapter Three: Much To Do About Nothing

Susanna woke up on day three. She walked to the kitchen table where Abby and Lisa were already sitting.

"Mornin'." Lisa said playfully. "She had me up all night."

"Is that so?" Susanna asked, cupping Abby's little cheek in her hands, then yanking them away, noticing what she was doing. That is not your child. She told herself.

"What's up with you, jumpy?" Lisa asked, pouring some cereal onto a plate for finger food.

"Nothing." Susanna replied quickly. "I was at the hospital all night, is all." She replied.

Lisa's eyes narrowed with confusion and concern.

"What? Susanna, you went to the hossy and you didn't wake me up?" She scolded.

"You had just gotten the baby to sleep and I didn't want to disturb you. Besides it was nothing. They ran tests on me all night and didn't find anything."

"My God. Susanna, don't you ever do that again. WAKE ME UP!" Lisa commanded. Susanna pretended to shrink back. Pretended to submit.

"I'm fine, Lisa." Susanna insisted, getting a bottle of water out of the fridge and exiting the room. Lisa couldn't accept this. There was just to much uncovered ground for Susanna to leave like that.

"Wait a minute." Lisa called after her, leaving Abby alone in the kitchen.

"What, Lisa? What? Are you gonna tell me you worry about me? I'm a big girl." Susanna shouted back. Lisa's face was fogged over with venom.

"Susanna, you know I was just looking after you." Lisa replied. Susanna put her hand on her forehead and released an audible sigh.

"Look what you did, Lisa. You left the baby all by herself in the kitchen with the knives and the oven and all kinds of dangerous things." Susanna scolded.

"Are you calling me a bad mother? Because that sure as hell doesn't have anything to do with you, right? You didn't make me come in here."

"I didn't, Lisa." Susanna replied.

"I'm a good mother, Susanna." Lisa yelled.

"Then why are we-?" Susanna started, but finally walked into the kitchen and picked the baby up herself. She was truly pissed off at Lisa.

"I can feed my own fucking kid!" Lisa shouted.

"Then FEED her!" Susanna replied.

"Fine!" Lisa shouted.

"Fine." Susanna returned.

Lisa snatched Abby out of Susanna's arms and shoveled handfuls of cereal into the poor baby's mouth.

"Lisa, I don't want to fight about this. I'm sorry I scared you." Susanna admitted.

Lisa continued feeding Abby silently, glancing angrily over at Susanna at random intervals.

"Lisa, stop!" Susanna demanded. "This isn't fair to any of us!"

"What's not fair is that you scared the shit out of me Susanna!" Lisa replied, without even looking up at her.

"Admit it, Lisa. You weren't really afraid for me. You just needed to argue. You needed to blow steam about other things that were bothering you." Susanna concluded.

"What? No!" Lisa replied. "You don't know what I was thinking, Susanna."

"Yeah, right Lis, but it was pretty close, huh?" Susanna replied angrily.

"No. I didn't want to lose you, Susanna. If you cared about me the way I cared about you, you would have told me you needed to go to the hospital." Lisa replied, tearfully.

"I didn't tell you because I cared about you." Susanna replied. Lisa looked up at her with the same change in demeanor that she had had a few nights ago. Susanna gently kissed her and then pulled away, remembering she was in front of Abby and not knowing how Lisa felt about their relationship. Lisa immediately covered Susanna's lips again. Lisa put the baby on the floor, completely forgetting she was even there and pulled Susanna onto the couch. She continued to kiss her, lips parting only long enough for her to say : "I love you, Suzie Q"

And for Susanna to reply: "I love you, too." And both of their stomachs filled with butterflies.

After a few moments, the two were interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Susanna sprung up and answered it.

"Hello…Yes, this is she… Yeah… No…What?...That Can't be? Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure?... Do you know how-… Oh…Umm okay. Thanks for letting me know." Susanna said and then hung up the phone. Lisa automatically knew something was wrong by the look in her eyes.

"Shit." Susanna said.

"What's wrong, baby?" Lisa asked.

"It was- It was the doctor." Susanna replied tearfully. Lisa's eyes widened with fear.

"Oh my God! Are you okay? What's wrong?" She begged, embracing Susanna.

"Im… Im pregnant." Susanna replied sullenly. "And Im already into the second trimester." At this point both were crying.
