Spencer is taking a break from school now. So she is staying at home. Today is my day to work so she is going help watch the kids. It's getting kind of awkward to work now, I'm considering to, as well, take a break. I get up anyway and get dressed.

We got there and by third period I was sick, and I mean really sick, it was not the pregnancy kind of sick. In-between periods I looked at Ezra. "I'm sick, and I don't mean pregnancy sick, I'm mean I am sick. Honestly I think I need to call Ali and have her take me to the house." I informed him collapsing in my seat.

He agreed and I called Ali and went to the front of the school to wait for her. She looked almost worried about me. "Are you alright sweetie?" she asked me as I got into the car and she started driving to the house.

Laying my head back I smiled. "Yeah I should be fine. Just need to sleep off a bug that I caught, most likely at school." I informed her. I thought about all of the kids that were missing today, and earlier this week.


When we got home I went strait to bed and slept for the remainder of the day, then through out the night. It was a deep dreamless sleep, and by morning time I was refreshed and ready to go.

When I felt it time to get up it went to the nursery to see how the kids are doing. I got in there and they were awake, Alison's standing in her crib, and Joshua's sitting up. I picked Alison up and put her on the ground and picked Joshua up and started to do his stretches with him.

A little while later Spencer came in, "Looks who's awake, I was about to go make sure you hadn't died!" she teased me sitting down in the rocking chair next to me leaning back and started to rub her belly.

"No, just needed some sleep. How's the little one in there?" I asked placing my hand on her belly and leaning back against the wall.

She smiled, "Baby good. He actually let me sleep last night." she informed me with a smile. "So you have your ultra-sound today! You're going to get to see whether Joshua is going to have a brother or a sister! I am too excited for you!" she added with excitement.

Yes I am very much looking forward to seeing my baby for the first time. I looked at the clock, my appointment is at eleven and it's eight, so I need to get ready. Joshua, Alison, Hanna, and Spencer are going to go to a baby music class while I'm gone, and should be back by the time the time I'm able to get home.


Ezra met me at the doctors office and we went in. They brought us back to the ultrasound, and when I was able to see my baby happiness came across me. My baby is alive and well. "Would you like to know the sex?" the technician asked us after she looked at something's about the baby.

Smiling, "Yes!" Ezra and I said in unison. I've been waiting to see whether Joshua is going to have a brother or a sister. In apprehension I squeezed Ezra's hand.

Looked at us the tech smiled, "You're having a girl! Congratulation's!" she informed us starting to wrap things up.


We drove home, and as expected they were already home and waiting for us. Spencer is holding Alison and Hanna is holding Joshua and they are all watching Blues Clues together. "Wow, did you ever think that we'd catch Hanna enjoying watching Blues Clues? Just a year ago you couldn't stand that show." I stated.

She shrugged and stood up. Joshua got an annoyed look on his face, he was watching that. "It's grown on me, and the kid's seem to like it, so I'm not going to complain." she stated putting the squirmy Joshua into his fathers arms. I took a seat next to Spencer.

So shifted to where she's facing me. "So is it a boy or a girl?" she asked before even saying hello to us.

Smiling and taking Ezra's hand, "We are going to have a girl!" I informed everyone happiness overwhelming me.

The girls looked very happy. "That's great! I can't wait to go shopping!" Hanna exclaimed. Starting to think about all of the things that she wants to spoil her with.


Spencer is due anytime now, I'm five months and she is nine. She is getting a little nervous. Toby is freaking out. I think what's keeping him sane is that the Hanna, Alison and I are going to be there for support.

The girls and I are going out for dinner. It took a lot to convince Spencer to go, she's been very uncomfortable, but we did finally convince her. So we are all sitting around a table and waiting for our food to come out. "I can't believe that there are two more kids on the way, and one should be here anytime now!" Alison stated taking a drink of her Dr Pepper.

I laughed, "I know that feeling, but it's starting to feel real. I've just been so busy with Joshua that I haven't had enough time to think. He has an X-ray tomorrow. I'm kind of nervous about it, but I'm hoping for the best." I stated.

Spencer got quite all of the sudden, "You alright Spence?" Hanna asked her putting her arm on Spencer's shoulder.

"I'm not totally sure, but I think I'm having contractions." she stated starting to rub her belly, and her face turned as white as a ghost.

We, almost freaking out rushed to the hospital and called Toby to get over here as fast as he could. The excitement Has got my baby girl roused about, she is moving like crazy.


After rushing her to the hospital, we learned that it was just a false alarm, but her little boy should be here anytime now. So we went home and we all went to bed after all of the excitement. In bed I placed my head on Ezra's chest. "What's wrong?" he asked me.

Before I could answer him I had to run to the restroom with another round of morning sickness. After I cleaned out my mouth I looked at him, "That is what's wrong. I have been throwing up non stop through out this entire pregnancy, and I'm only half way through. Everything I eat never stays with me!" I complained walking back to the bed room.

He started to stroke my hair, "We can give your doctor a call in the morning. See what he thinks." Ezra suggested trying to find a way for me to feel better. These past few week's I haven't been feeling good at all, I haven't even gone to work- and I love work!


Morning time came around and I called my doctor and told him some of my problems. He made me an appointment for tomorrow to come in and see if he can give me some medicine to make me feel better. There was an opening today, but Joshua has his X-ray today, and I don't think I would be able to handle that by myself. Ezra has to work, so he can't come. Ali is also working. So Spencer agreed to come with me so I didn't have to be by myself. Hanna would have gone with me, but she didn't have anyone to take care of Alison.

So Spencer and I made our way to Joshua's doctor. We got there and we waited outside the X-ray room to get him. We walked him back to his room, and waited for about a half hour, then finally the doctor walked in. "Well I took a look at Joshua's X-Ray's, and based on the tests we've done on him, he is going to be a little slow, and his development is not progressing like it should, a part of the slowness, so for now we just need to monitor him." he informed us.

After processing what he just said, I got concerned. "Wait, does that mean there is something wrong with his brain?" I asked in almost horror. Spencer rubbed my back, trying to calm me down.

"Yes, but there isn't anything to be concerned about." he reassured me. "When you pay out make a follow up appointment." he instructed us.

We did as we were told and went home. Hanna saw the looks on our faces. "What did the doctor say?" she asked us putting Alison down in her play pin. I put Joshua in there with her.

"Well, As expected, Joshua is slow, but that also means that there is something wrong with his brain." I informed her sitting down on the sofa. She sat down next to me, I put my head on her shoulder.

They comforted me, but I didn't really want to think about it. So I just turned on the TV and started flipping through channels, and eventually fell asleep on the sofa. Spencer made her way back to the bed room and went to sleep herself. Hanna stayed up with the kids for us.


When Ezra got home I told him about it. He reminded me that we were expecting this and that it wasn't anything new, and he's right, but now it's official, it's different now. At least it feels different.

Ezra and I are sitting on our bed with Joshua, "The three of us should get out of town for the weekend." I stated feeling the need to get out of Rosewood for a little while. Everything could be put on hold for a weekend right?

He laughed at me, "I thought you wanted to stay here until Spencer has the baby, and that's anytime now." he reminded me kissing the top of my head.

Letting out a sigh I put Joshua down on a blanket on the floor. I turned back to Ezra starting to kiss him. "Then let's spend the night at the apartment." I suggested, trying to find a way to get away from my mind. "I'm sure my parents would love to keep him for the night." I added continuing to kiss him.

He pulled away, "We don't need to just give them Joshua for the night on such short notice. You know that. I know you're a little stir crazy right now, but just remember that Spencer is going to have her baby any time now." he said stroking my hair.

Relaxing a little I leaned back and watched Joshua. "He hasn't started to talk yet. Alison started to say words a long time ago." I commented after thinking about for a little while.

He didn't say anything for a while, "He will when he wants to. You know he goes on his own time." he stated with confidence. It's true, Joshua does go on his own time. He will want to sleep, eat, whatever, at the strangest of times.
