Fi
heard the door open and she ran to greet her husband, Clu.
"
I have news." They both said.
"
You go first." Fi said.
"
Ok, I got a promotion. So that means more money." Clu said.
"
That's great. So we can get that other, bigger house?" Fi asked.
"
If thats what you want." Clu agreed.
"
Good. Cause we're gonna need it." Fi said smiling. " Time for my
news. Sit down."
Clu
went to the living room and sat down.
"
Ok, you know how when we first got married we decided to wait to
have kids?" Fi asked.
"
Yeah." Clu said.
"
Well, I think, destiny had other plans for us." Fi said biting her lip.
"
You mean... You're... We're gonna have a baby?" Clu asked.
Fi
nodded.
"
That's great, Fi!" Clu said jumping up. He pulled Fi up and gave her
a hug. " I love you."
Well
I just heard the news today
It
seems my life is going to change
I
closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then
tears of joy stream down my face
With
arms wide open
Under
the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll
show you everything
With
arms wide open
"
It's a boy." Clu announced to everyone waiting in the waiting room.
" I have a son."
Everyone
gave him a hug.
"
He's so beutiful." Clu told Fi. " And so are you."
"
You know, we ought to give him a name." Fi pointed out.
"
Yeah." Clu thought for a minute. " How about Rick, after your
dead."
"
Really?" Fi asked.
"
Yeah." Clu said.
"
Ok, Rick Bell, it is." Fi said, smiling. She looked down at Rick. "
Do you like that name?"
Rick
smiled up at his parents.
"
I think that's a yes." Clu said.
Well
I don't know if I'm ready
To be
the man I have to be
I'll
take a breath, take her by my side
We
stand in awe, we've created life
With
arms wide open
Under
the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll
show you everything
With
arms wide open
Five
years later...
"
Mommy! Daddy! I'm home!" Rick called running into the house.
They
smiled at each other and walked to their son.
"
How was your first day of school?" Clu asked.
"
It was fun. There were cookies and cake and everything." Rick said jumping
up and down.
Fi
laughed. " That's great, sweetie. Did you learn anything?"
Rick
shook his head.
Clu
laughed. " Yeah, Fi, where you been you never learn anything on
the first day. You wait until your senior year to
learn."
Fi
rolled her eyes and looked at Clu. She mouthed the word, now.
Clu
nodded and picked up Rick. " Rick, you know how me and your mommy each
have a big brother?"
Rick
nodded.
"
Yeah and they are always there for us." Fi added.
"
Would you like a little brother or sister to take care of?" Clu
asked.
Rick
nodded. " But I only want a brother, cause, girls are yucky."
"
Thanks a lot." Fi said.
"
You're not a girl, your a mommy." Rick said.
Now
everything has changed
I'll
show you love
I'll
show you everything
With
arms wide open
If I
had just one wish
Only
one demand
I
hope he's not like me
I
hope he understands
That
he can take this life
And
hold it by the hand
And
he can greet the world
With
arms wide open...
"
We have twins." Clu said coming into the waiting room. He picked up Rick.
" A boy and a girl."
Rick
frowned. " Ewww, a girl!"
