Hi peeps! So I saw that noelmescher had a cute prompt suggestion, so here you go! I hope it lives up to your expectations. Also, keep submitting any ideas/prompts you want me to write! I have been thinking about possibly writing some Tup prompts (along with the Tup story "Training To Be A Starship Ranger") or maybe even another story, possibly pre-Starship. Opinions? It's just a thought but we will see if/when it will possibly become true. Alright, well I hope you all like this one.
It was a family dinner night at the Walker house. All of their kids had come home from college or their new lives as adults. Sara was in her sophomore year of college while her brother Brendan was finishing up with his senior year. Their daughter Megan had gotten married about a year ago to Troy. She was now twenty five years old and living life to the fullest. Joe had been very wary about letting her get married at such a young age but Lauren convinced him that he was wrong and she could make her own decisions now as an adult.
Today however she was acting very strange. She was constantly in the bathroom and was turning down any offer her parents made of an alcoholic beverage. Her excuse was that she was trying to stick to only water but they still did not understand what was up with her.
After a while of chatting amongst themselves it was time for dinner. There were all sorts of foods including plenty of pasta and vegetables. Joe had poured everyone a glass of wine to celebrate the reunion-like event they were having with each other. Yet again, Megan was not making any effort to at least take a sip, even after Joe had made a little speech and everything calling for all the members to tap their glasses together and take a sip.
"Meggie, you are supposed to take a sip of it." He reasoned with his daughter, looking over at her.
Megan laughed lightly, "I know what I'm supposed to do, it's just…I have…I mean Troy and I have an announcement."
"Alright, shoot." Joe said but before Megan could even start Lauren burst into tears."Lo? What's the matter?" Everything had just clicked into Lauren's mind of what was happening. Obviously Joe was completely oblivious to the situation in front of them.
"I'm just, so happy for them!" Lauren said through the tears and got up to hug them both. Sara soon followed her, understanding what was happening. Both Joe and Brendan glanced at each other trying to figure out what everyone was crying about. Was Lauren already drunk from just one glass of wine, which is why she was so emotional? No, that couldn't be. She surely could handle much more than one glass.
"Can someone please explain to me what is happening?"
Megan chuckled at the boys in her family who were still trying to put all of the pieces together. "Troy and I are having a baby!" The excitement on her face now was being shown and her skin glowed like it never had in the past.
While her brother got up and went to say his congratulations, Joe sat pondering at the thought. "My baby is having a baby? How is that possible?" He obviously knew how it was possible, but the thought was still strange to him. Soon he felt a pair of eyes on him and he looked to see Megan upset from the lack of reaction that he was having. Everyone else was dancing around and asking tons of questions. He got up and went over and hugged her tight. "Congratulations, princess." He knew that he had to stop with the nickname soon, but he still did not have any interest in stopping. "You and Troy will be great parents." Joe placed a kiss on the top of her head. "I love you very much."
"Thanks, dad. I love you too." She gave him one last squeeze before getting interrupted by her now hyper mother and sister who were trying to plan everything. Question after question were being thrown at her.
"How far along are you?"
"Do you know the gender? Do you want to know it?"
"When did you find out?"
"Do you have any ultrasound pictures?"
Megan let out another laugh. "Three months and no I don't know yet. I found out a few days ago and yes I do!" She reached into her purse, grabbing the pictures from the ultrasound. Sure, you could barely see anything but a person was able to just make out the baby in the picture.
Joe had to hold Lauren down to stop her from jumping up and down from the new excitement she had.
"Wox, aren't you excited? We are going to be grandparents!" She practically screamed in his face.
A chuckle came out of Joe's mouth, "Of course I am. Grandma Lauren and Grandpa Joe."
"I have a feeling we will be spoiling that child." Lauren smiled widely.
"Yes we will be."
For the remainder of the night the family discussed other things as well but the main topic was the new pregnancy in the family. There would be a lot of fun this year for the Walker family.
