Chapter
7
Early the next morning, Luke and Laura lay in bed in
each others arms. Laura was sleeping, but Luke was staring at the ceiling. When
Laura first brought up the idea of another child, he went along with her idea
only to make her happy. When he found out that they were going to have two
babies instead of one, he was in shock. But now that the babies were almost
here, he was almost more excited than she was.
Laura woke up and looked at him. "What' wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing. I was just thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
"The babies."
Laura laughed. "I should have know. You're right
though. It's almost too good to be true. I can't believe Amy is doing this for
us."
"Laura, she's doing it for you. You're her sister and she loves you. I
know that I would do it for Bobbie if I could."
Laura began laughing uncontrollably. "That is something I would like to
see."
Luke was confused. He was not sure what he had said that was so funny.
"What?"
Laura tried to calm herself down. "When you said that you would do the
same thing for Bobbie that Amy is doing for us, I got this picture in my head
of you pregnant."
She began laughing again and this time Luke joined her. Their laughter was
interrupted by the phone ringing.
Laura answered it. "Hello? What? Ok, we'll meet you there." She hung
up the phone.
"What's wrong Laura?"
"That was Amy, she's on her way to the hospital.
It's time."
