Hi everyone! Here is chapter four!!!! Before I get started though, I would like to thank Broken Amethyst for the wonderfully encouraging reviews: )
Alright then, by now your probably wanting me to get to the story. Alright then, here goes:
Chapter 4: Oh, Bill!
By the time Nancy reached "home" she was in a right state. She had the whole thing planned out in her head. Everything she intended to say to Bill. That is, if Bill didn't screw her up or interupt her to much!
She opened the door and marched in. Bill was sitting in a chair, feet on the table, smoking a pipe. The moment he acknowledged the fact that she was there, Nancy began her speech.
"Bill, I want to talk to you," she only paused to make sure Bill was listening, and when he opened his mouth to speak, she plodded on. "There is something important going on, and it involves you and me!" Bill started to open his mouth, but she continued. " Now Bill, before you say anything I want you to listen to me! You know the that night two months ago… when you…when we…well, you remember it!"
Bill pondered what she said for a minute. Then, he began to smile.
Nancy, noticing that he understood what she was trying to say, decided it was prudent to go on before he got any ideas. If she waited to long, all hope of talking would be lost.
"Well, Bill, I am pregnant! That's right PREGNANT! And before you say anything at all, I think you should realize that we both got ourselves in this situation. Besides, it is only out of the overflowing love between two people, that such a blessing – yes, blessing – is bestowed upon us! And Bill, I AM HAPPY ABOUT IT!"
After this exhausting and rather exhilirating exhortation, Nancy was left quite out of breath. The whole speech was not lost on Bill either. His silence was soon broken by some curse words, not uttered in anger, but in shock.
Well, now you've done it! Nancy thought. You bewildered the poor man! She was suddenly overwhelmed by a feeling of pity and love for the man.
"Bill? Are you happy?" she asked tenitively. Before he could answer she stood up, walked over to the man, and gave him a kiss on the lips.
Bill was all the more lost for words now. She does seem happy, though, don't she? he thought. Maybe I should be happy.
With all these thoughts swirling around in his head, and Nancy staring at him admiringly, he decided on what to say.
"Now there is no doubt in my mind that it'll be a boy! A strapping young boy! Eh?"
Nancy couldn't be more pleased. He's not angry. Not in the least bit. She smiled to herself. Maybe Bill will make a better father than I thought!
Well, hope it was good. Maybe you were looking forward to Bill getting angry. Sorry, but this is a young Bill, and I am inclined to think that their relationship may not have been as rocky in the beginning. Well, please REVIEW!!!
