Chapter 20. 6 months old.

Franny loved the ups and downs of pregnancy.

She was incredibaly happy knowing she had a living child inside of her.

When she was 5 months she went with Lewis to the doctors to get an ultrasound.

She lay on the table, smiling as the doctor moved the stick over her stomach, showing her the image on the screen.

"See that?" The doctor asked, pointing. "Thats his hands, and those are his feet. This right heres the head."

"HIS hands, HIS feet?" Lewis asked suddenly. "Does that mean.."

"That its a little boy?" Franny finished.

The doctor nodded.

"Ohmigosh!" Franny cried. She grabbed Lewis and hugged him deeply, crying tears of happiness onto his shoulder. He hugged her back, but felt some feeling of knowing. He felt that he somehow already knew he was going to have a baby boy, like somebody had told him when he was younger.

He shook the feeling off and just hugged his wife, to happy to care right now.

The next week he and Franny went to the baby store, Wilburs Way, and decided to buy some baby boy clothes.

Franny went nuts with the baby items.

"Look honey," she said. "A adorable little yellow shirt with a duck on the front! Oooh, he'd look so adorable in it." She placed it into the cart.

"Franny?" Lewis said. "Remember to keep to the budget."

Franny smiled at him. "Sure, sure, Honey." Then she turned and said. "Oh, how cute! A little crib with lightning bolts on it. Just like that super hero you liked as a kid. What was his name? Super Amazing? Captain Planet?"

"Captain Time Travel,"

"Oh, yes." She smiled at her husband. "Wouldn't it be cute for him to have a bed like this?"

Lewis nodded.

"Could we get it for him, sweetie?" Frannyed asked, batting her eyes.

Lewis shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

Franny hugged him tightly. "You're so sweet! You're going to be a great daddy."

Lewis smiled at her.

A month later was Frannys birthday.

While celebrating her birthday, she also had a baby shower.

Everyone sat down to eat the lemon poppyseed flavored cake, a request from Franny, as she opened up her presents.

The presents to her were things like journals, pens and papers, note sheets so she could write songs for her frogs, a couple of new dresses, snug slippers that she could walk around at home in, and a conductors kit.

She thanked each and everyone of her friends and family, and before she opened the baby shower gifts, she called for Gaston.

"Yes?" Gaston asked once he had got to her.

"My sweet brother," Franny said. "could you do me a favor?"

Gaston sighed. Favors usually mean't him going to the store to get Franny some type of new food she was craving. He and Lewis and Art each had that job, except Art had it easier because when she called him she wanted pizza.

"Could you run to the store for me and pick me up some salmon ice cream?"

Right on the nail.

"You want what now?" Gaston asked.

"Salmon flavoured ice cream." Franny repeated.

He sighed deeply then set off to the store.

Once he left, Franny and her friends laughed.

"Did you really want that ice cream?" One of them asked her.

Franny nodded. "Yes, but its always so much fun to do that to Gaston! Its a kind of payback from when we were little."

They highfived each other, then Franny opened up her gifts.

Later that day Franny walked past Lucille, who was knitting. Being always curious, Franny turned around and went into the room.

Lucille was rocking back and forth in her chair, knitting with dark blue matriel.

"Hello, Lucille." Franny said.

Lucille jumped, and grasped her heart. "Dear, you shouldn't do that!"

"Sorry." Franny replied. "What are you knitting?"

"Oh, I'm just knitting. Us old woman like to knitt."

Franny nodded, knowing that wasn't the full story.

She left the room, still suspicious.
