iHave the Baby
Chapter 8: Waking Up
When it was 7:35, the pretty receptionist/nurse woke up Shane, and the husband of Sam Puckett yawned, stretching his muscular arms before getting up to walk over to a nearby snack machine.
After getting a bag of Twizzlers, Shane walked back to the lobby, sitting in a reclining chair, and he saw a man sitting in the rocking chair next to him, with the man looking about 50 years old.
"Are you going to be a father?" asked Shane, who was trying to not fall back asleep by having a converstion.
The elder gentleman said, "I already am a father, young man..."
Shane closed his mouth, nervous at the man's serious tone, and noticed that the old man was a father who would rather have a boy than a girl. "Do you have a boy or girl, Mister, uh...?"
The elder man said, "I have seven girls, son... and my name is Mr. Oppenheimer."
Then, behind the window where the nurses showed the husbands their child (or children), a nurse appeared, and called for the elder man, who walked over to the window, followed by a curious Shane.
"Congrats, Mr. Oppenheimer!" exclaimed the nurse, and the elder man suddenly hugged Shane!
"YES!" shouted the old man. "I'm having a -"
"-female triplets!" cried the nurse, and to the elder's shock, three other nurses appeared, each holding a beautiful baby girl.
Shane and Mr. Oppenheimer looked at each other, and the old man said, "Ten girls..."
Sam's husband chuckled, and shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, maybe you could create your own softball team!"
He started to laugh, but when Mr. Oppenheimer gave him a serious look, Shane stopped instantly, and watched as the old man walked away, while he went back to the reclining chair, and continued to wait for his best friend's child to come.
