Amy looked at the old house as Rob parked the rental van. She couldn't believe he had convinced her to spend Christmas there. She couldn't believe he had convinced Matt and Torrie, Jeff and Nidia and Nora and Shane to spend Christmas there.
The house was painted a drab gray and looked pretty run down. She couldn't believe he had rented it without seeing it first.
"Rob, is this really it?" she asked, looking at it.
"Yes, I know it's rundown. It sounded better over the phone, Darling. Relax, he assured me it was quiet," he said. At that very moment, the silence was broken by a piercing scream.
"MOM! CHRIS IS BEING A JERK!" she heard somebody scream. She turned to see a girl running into an equally rundown house.
"Rob, I am 15 weeks pregnant. Unless you want to sleep on the couch for the next six months, you will figure out something!" she exclaimed, her hand resting on her slight bump of a belly.
"Amy, they will be fine; I want you to concentrate on relaxing. You are pregnant, relax" Rob told her. She looked at him.
` "Rob, don't use the fact I'm pregnant against me." Amy said.
"This is it?" Nidia asked, surprised as she too examined the house.
"I'm sorry I rented it without checking it out. My fiancée has already pointed this out several times." Rob said.
"It's okay" Shane said, trying to remain optimistic. Rob could tell he thought it was a dump.
"Come on, let's see what it looks like from the inside" Nora suggested. She looked at the house next door.
Rob opened the door and was surprised to see it hadn't been open in ages. It smelled of must and dirt.
"Rob, we can't stay here! It's a dump, who knows what is in here?" Amy asked with a loud cough.
"We'll air it out and see if we can stay with the neighbors for the night. Amy, we can't break the lease. We do that, then, they take us to court and we can never leave Massachusetts." Rob said. Amy looked at her stomach and gasped.
"What is it?" he asked. She looked at him as she shook her head in disbelief.
"Rob, the baby, I think she just kicked!" Amy exclaimed excitedly. Rob looked at her.
"Are you sure?" he asked, surprised. She nodded.
"It was a flutter, it felt so odd" Amy said as her hand slid down to her belly. Rob set his hand over hers and sighed when he realized he could feel nothing.
"Don't feel bad. It's normal for men not to be able to feel the baby move for a little while. It took me three weeks after Corigan started kicking to be able to feel it!" Shane said as he gently embraced Nora's belly.
"Corigan? That's an interesting name. Is it male or female?" Nidia asked. Nora looked at Shane.
"It's feminine." Shane replied.
"I see" Nidia replied.
"We're having a girl. Her name is Katrina Rose." Nidia said.
"That is pretty" Amy said, as she looked at Rob. He gently embraced her belly.
"Are you going to find out what you're having?" Matt asked them.
"We haven't decided yet. We don't have my first sonogram until twenty weeks!" Amy exclaimed. Torrie sighed.
"Let's go meet the neighbors" she suggested. Matt set his hand on her belly.
"Tor, what's wrong?" he asked, concerned.
"I've got a mild case of Sciatica, I'm nauseous and I'm full of pregnancy aches" she replied.
"Do I know the feeling!" Nora exclaimed, with a laugh. They walked outside and over to the house next door.
Amy cautiously knocked on the door. A friendly looking woman opened it.
"Hi, we just moved in next door" Amy said, extending her hand.
"I'm Judy Wypiniski. Won't you come in?" she offered. They followed her into the house. Amy noted that like the front it was run down.
They took a seat at the kitchen table and the introductions began.
"Nice to meet you all. So, you're staying at the old Chawster place? Gosh, I don't think anyone's lived there for five years!" Judy exclaimed after the introductions ended.
"We know, based on the scent" Torrie replied.
"I've noticed you're all expecting. Would you like to stay here until you can air and clean out the Chawster house?" Judy asked.
"We can't impose" Amy said.
"No, I insist" Judy told them.
"Okay" Amy agreed.
Two days later… Rob walked up to her, He looked relieved.
"We can finally move in!" he exclaimed happily. Even though the Wypiniski's were kind, after two days, everyone was going a little crazy.
Later that day… Nora sighed as she collapsed on the couch. After settling in the house, everyone was tired, bit the woman especially.
"Don't they make maternity clothes that don't make you look huge?" Nora asked as she smoothed down the front of her black Merino sweater.
"I highly doubt it. I went into a maternity store, looking for a turtleneck. This is it," Nidia said, referring to what she was wearing, "And I still look like a blimp!"
"I know the feeling!" Torrie exclaimed.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Amy asked.
"I got an idea! The miracle that got us pregnant" Torrie replied. Amy nearly spit out a mouthful of ginger ale.
"You mean sex?" she asked, surprised.
"Not that! I mean our periods! How old were you and where were you when you first got it?" Torrie said.
"Sounds interesting," Amy said as she lay on the couch.
"I don't think so." Nidia commented. She looked at Nora.
"I think it would be interesting" Nora commented.
"Never mind. Any ideas what we can do?" Torrie asked. "Go shopping?" Nora suggested.
"As interesting as that sounds, there's a 45 minute drive to the nearest mall" Amy told her.
"Amy, we all love Rob dearly. Next time we decide to spend a holiday together, somebody else will find a place to live and no little towns!" Nidia exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, Guys!" Amy exclaimed softly. She began to cry.
"Girl, we didn't mean to make you cry" Nidia said. She wiped her eyes.
"Hormones" She replied.
"Oh, Girls, who wants pizza?" Shane called.
All four women struggled to their feet. They wandered into the kitchen, to find the guys carrying seven boxes of pizza.
"We're not having guests, are we?" Torrie asked.
"No, we wanted to be able to eat. Three pizzas with four pregnant women, doesn't add up" Shane said. Nora slapped him in the back of the head.
