Chapter 7: "Addams Baby #2"

I'm on my way home from yet another check up. I have some more big news. I'm going to have another baby. Telling Gomez may not be so hard, but I don't know how to tell Wednesday. She's, after all, been the baby for 3 years now. This time when I go out to the car, Gomez is waiting. (Lurch is on his day off) When I get out to the car, everything that happened 3 years ago happens again.

"Everything alright, Tish?" Gomez asks concerned.

"Of course, darling. I've got great news." I said.

"What?" he asked

"We're... going to have another baby." I said.

"That's wonderful! How far along are you?" he asked when he started the car.

"2 months. I just wonder how to tell Wednesday." I said.

"That's going to be hard. How about when it's the right time?" he asked.

"Well, yes. But it's just... I don't know when the right time is." I said.

"You'll know." he said.

As we talked the rest of the way. I thought of how to tell her. I've decided to wait for a while.

When we got home, Wednesday came running up to Gomez and I.

"Mommy ok?" she asked.

"Yes, darling." I said picking her up.

"I tried someting new!" she exclaimed.

"What?" I asked.

"Choc-a-late." she said.

She was trying to say chocolate like Gomez, how cute. Gomez laughs and kisses both of our cheeks.

"If you two excuse me, I'm going to get something to eat." he said before walking towards the kitchen.

Telling Wednesday about the new baby will be hard. Harder than when I told Gomez.

It has been 2 months. Therefore I'm 4 months pregnant. I've gained about 6 pounds and my stomach is about 4 or 5 inches bigger. Wednesday still doesn't know, but everyone else knows. Gomez is out right now with Mama, Lurch and Uncle Fester at the store. Wednesday is home with me, playing with Kitty Cat. She looks up at me, then gets up and walks over to me.

"Mommy?" she asked.

"Yes, Wednesday?" I said.

"Why is your tummy bigger?" she asked rubbing it.

I sigh. I guess I better tell her now.

"Well, darling. Mommy's... having another baby." I said.

"There a baby in there?" she asked sort of confused.

"Yes." I said.

"How did it get in there?" she asked.

"That's something you'll learn when you're older." I said.

"How's it gonna get out?" she asked again.

"That's another thing you'll learn when you're older." I said.

"Ok. When is the baby coming?" she asked.

"In 6 months." I said.

"Is it a boy or girl?" she asked.

"We won't know until it's born." I said.

"Ok. What will you name it?" she asked.

"We haven't picked a name yet." I said.

"Will I still be yours and daddy's baby?" she asked, her eyes tearing up.

"Of course, darling! You'll be out baby as long as you'll live." I said.

"Ok, mommy." she said.

She then yawned. It's time for her nap.

"Naptime." I said.

So we went upstairs and took a nap.
