*DING DONG* Stacy rang the doorbell and waited patiently at the door, It
was Amy who answered. "Hi" she said heartfully. "How have you been?" she
said. Stacy shurgged "I'm doing all right I guess" She said. She gave her a
quick hug and helped her carry her bags upstairs. She looked around the
spare room. "Thank you so much for having me over Ames" she said. Amy just
smiled "Hey, anytime" she said. She laid her things out on the bed. Amy
spoke up first "So how long until the baby's due?" she asked. "about 2 and
a half months" Stacy replied. "Wow, 6 months already?" she asked. Stacy
smiled and shook her head yes. Just then Jeff came in the room. "Stacy!" he
said outreaching his arms for a hug. She hugged back "Oh, Jeff its so good
to see you!" Jeff pulled away from the hug. "Wow, look at you!" he said
looking at her stomach. "You're huge!" he said. Stacy chuckled. "Wow,
thanks" she said. She checked her watch. "Oh, geez, its getting late, I
should be getting to bed" Stacy said. Jeff nodded, "Us too" he said.
"Alright" Stacy said hugging Amy goodnight. "Ill see you two in the
morning"
************************************************************************
Amy sat up in her bed quickly, again something had woken her up. This time she was pissed off. She sighed and put her head in her hands. She observed the room to find nothing yet again. She stood up and checked the bathroom, and her closet nothing. She thought she was just being silly, and acting like a kid looking for monsters under a bed. She climbed back in with Jeff, who was still sleeping soundly. She didn't understand it, she was the heaviest sleeper that she had ever known and still, Jeff remains asleep. She rolled her eyes and laid her head back down on her pillow. ***********************************************************************
"I'm telling you Maria, every single night I get woken up" Amy said. Maria shrugged "I think it just might be nightmares or something Ames, you shouldn't worry too much about it". Amy flipped through the pages of the magazine. "Well I am, its starting to freak me out" she said while glancing at a nice t-shirt. "What does Jeff say about this?" Maria asked. "Jeff?" Amy started "He doesn't know, he never wakes up like I do!" she said. Maria shook her head. "Well that it weird, Ames we could kill an animal in here without you waking up!" she said. Amy laughed "I know, see what I mean?" Maria shook her head "You have a point" She said. "But I have no clue what it is Hun, sorry!" she said heart fully. "Well, there's nothing I can do about it now" Amy sighed. "Oh well" she shrugged "Maybe it'll go away!" she said hopefully. Maria shurgged as well "Maybe" she repeated. Just then Stacy appeared in the room. "Hey Guys" she said quietly. Maria sat up from the bed "Hey" she said back. She looked sick. "You feeling alright, Stace?" Amy asked. Stacy nodded her head "Just morning sickness, that's all" she said. "You want a pill or something?" Maria said rifling through her purse. "Oh," Stacy started "No thanks" she said sitting on the bed, and flipping through a magazine. She came across a cute pair of leather pants. "Now, if I could only wear these!" she said gazing down at her stomach. She chuckled to herself. Amy smiled, "You will in a little while, Hun" Stacy tilted her head and nodded in agreement. "Sure" she said. "Have any names for the baby?" Maria chimed in. Stacy looked up. "Oh.." She began "No, not yet." Amy nodded her head. "Well think of some soon, Stace!" she joked. Stacy chuckled to herself and just shrugged her shoulders. Amy checked her watch, it was almost dinner. "Hey Stacy" She said. "I'm just going to go order some pizza, do you like it with green peppers?" she asked. Stacy nodded her head "Yeah sure, thanks" she said as Amy went downstairs to the phone.
Stacy gobbled down her pizza while Jeff and Amy ended a conversation. "Umm, Ames?" Stacy started. "Yeah?" she said kindly. "Well, I have a Lamaze class this Friday and I kind of needed a partner." She trailed off. Amy looked disappointed. "Oh, Geez Stacy, I am so sorry, I have to go for this meeting and-" Jeff cut Amy off." Ill do it" he said causally sipping down a soda. The room went silent. "You sure?" Stacy asked. "Yeah sure!" Jeff nodded "Why not?" he shurgged. Stacy smiled., "God Jeff, thank you so much" She said hugging him. "Hey no problem" he smiled back. "Lamaze is just the breathing, right?" He asked. Stacy laughed. "Yeah" she said. "Good" he started. "Cause Ill be out of that room when you start having the baby you know." He laughed. Amy chuckled. "I know Jeff, that's my job" She said. Jeff nodded. "Just letting you guys know" he said scraping off his plate into the garbage, and headed outside. "Where you going?" Amy started. "Oh," Jeff said turning around. "I'm going out to a motor cross track with Chris" Amy nodded "Be careful" she said. "Oh I will, maybe I wont ram into another tree this time." He joked while shutting the door.
Jeff got home really late, but sat on the couch and quietly watched some TV. Nothing good was on, but he had just gotten back from the bar with Adam, so he was getting a little buzz of the alcohol. Luckily, Adam drove him home too. He grabbed in his pocket without thinking and lit a cigarette. He flipped through some channels and paused on an old re-run of the Crocodile Hunter, his favourite show. Now, here in this bush Steve, the croc hunter said Is a very rare species of- The voice of Amy rang out instead "Jeffery you put that out, right now!" She said. Jeff turned around and blew the rest of the smoke out of his mouth. "Amy" he started. "I don't want to hear it Jeff, you especially shouldn't be smoking. Not with a pregnant woman in the house!" she said."Stacy is in a different room and- "He said but was soon cut off by Amy. "It doesnt matter Jeff, now put it out" There was a silence as the cigarette lost its orange glow in the ash tray. Amy smiled. Jeff rolled his eyes. "Thank you" she said kissing him on the cheek. Jeff nodded "Alright" he said getting up, "We might as well go to bed" he said. Amy nodded. "Yeah, no more smoking alright?" she said laying down. Jeff was silent. She pushed her head closer to his and looked doubtful. "Alright?" she asked hopefully. There was a brief pause "Yeah, alright" Jeff said nodding his head. Amy smiled back "Good" she said. "No more cigarettes" she whispered. "Don't rub it in" He joked back. Amy smiled," Ill try not too," she started "Goodnight" she whispered. "Night" he said back. *************************************************************************
"Get up, Jeff!" Amy said shaking the bed a little. "Mmm!" Jeff mumbled and rolled over into his pillow. "No, no" Amy said pulling his face out of the pillow. "You have to go to Lamaze class with Stacy today!" she said. "You promised, now c'mon I have to go to a meeting." Jeff rolled over and blinked his eyes into the ray of sunlight coming through his bedroom window. "Yeah" he said sitting up fully and stretching his legs out. He stepped out of bed when Amy was doing her hair. "Thanks" she said jokingly winking at him in the reflection of the mirror. He chuckled under his breath, pulling on an orange Independent Company shirt, with black pants. "When does this thing start?" he asked. "You have to be out of the house in about 15 minutes" she said. "15 Minutes!?" Jeff yelled. "Crap" while grabbing for his toothbrush and a comb. He tried to do the both jobs at the same time the best he could. Amy kissed him goodbye while he was attempting to slick his hair back in a ponytail with his free hand. "Bye" she smiled. "Baa" he said with the toothbrush still in his mouth. Amy laughed while closing the bathroom door.
"You ready to go?" Jeff asked kindly as Stacy took her time walking down the stairs. Stacy nodded a yes, and smiled at him. "Thank you so much for doing this Jeff, you really didn't have to you know" Jeff nodded his head. "Oh, no problem, Its my pleasure, really" Jeff added, and held out his hand to help Stacy down the stairs. She got down on the step and put her shoes on. Jeff helped her up again and walked her to the car. She got in and waited for Jeff to start the car. They got to the classes in about 10 minutes. Stacy slowly walked her way up the steps and Jeff opened the door for her. They got to the class and Stacy grabbed a mat to sit on and some pillows. The lady at the front of the class introduced herself as Cassie. "Were going around the room to tell each other a little bit more about ourselves" she said pointing to Stacy and Jeff first. "Oh" Stacy started "I'm Stacy" she said smiling around the room. "And what's your husbands name?" Cassie asked. Stacy blushed "Oh" she laughed "This isn't my husband, this is my friend Jeff" Cassie nodded yes. "Hello" she said, then pointed to another couple, and they all introduced themselves. Jeff helped Stacy sit on the mat while she put pillows on Jeff's chest and leaned in on him. Cassie told Jeff about the different types of massages to give on her shoulders and how to encourage them to get up and walk around because it helps the labour go along smoother. She showed the girls how to breathe, and how to position they're arms and what to do if something goes wrong. Jeff didn't really follow a lot of this Labour Stuff because it scared the crap out of him. He once listened in on one of Amy's friends describing how the labour went and the whole concept of it just freaked him out. Stacy shifted her weight to one side while Jeff was de-tensing her shoulders. The class ended sooner than he thought and they drove home in silence. "Hey thanks" Stacy said quietly as they pulled into the driveway. "No problem, it was interesting!" Jeff joked while smiling. Stacy laughed. That was the first time he had seen Stacy actually laugh in a long time. He smiled to himself. Maybe this whole moving in with them thing was actually helping her out!
