I do not own Rocket Power, once again, blah blah blah. AGAIN: I didn't
know what to call this chapter, and this was the song I was listening to
by Vanessa Williams, so I just called it that.
Chapter 6: Save The Best For Last
One week later, Reggie and I went up to the hospital to see if she was pregnant again. We went into the room, and I paced around nervously as the doctor checked Reggie. After what seemed like forever, she was done, so we waited in the waiting room. After another hour, the doctor said that she had our results. We decided to wait until we got home to share the surprise with Sophie, even though the excitement and anxiety was killing us.
When we got home, I picked up Sophie as Reggie sat down on the couch. I sat down next to her as Sophie licked my face. Reggie began to open the packet as I felt my heart beat like a drum. Then, a frown crossed upon her face. She looked extremely disappointed as she handed me the results. As I read them, she smiled. She was pregnant again! We both cried tears of joy as she threw her arms around me, despite the dog in between us. I was so happy; she had looked so disappointed when she suffered the miscarriage, but now looked so happy that we had a second chance. Sophie must have known, for she wagged her tail happily.
An hour or so later, I called Twister to invite him and Otto over. After Twister said he was sorry about our first baby, I said that I had a surprise for them. They came about ten minutes later with Chance. The two dogs walked to the back door to go out and play.
"So, what's this big surprise?" Twister asked as he sat on the couch. I looked at Reggie, who smiled at me as I smiled back. She handed him the packet as Otto sat down next to Twister and asked what it was. As Twister read it, his eyes grew wide and a huge smile spread across his face, as well as Otto's.
"You two are going to be uncles again," Reggie said to them.
"Congratulations, Reg!" Otto exclaimed as he got up and hugged Reggie. Twister got up as well as we all just exchanged hugs. It was one of the best days of my life; seeing my brother, my wife, and my brother-in-law as happy as they were. After a few minutes, Sophie scratched on the back door, indicating that the dogs wanted to come in. I went to let them both in, and when I opened the door, they both flew right past me, almost knocking me over. This was a really happy day for everybody, even the dogs.

Over the next few months, Reggie and I got ready for the baby. Over time, her stomach had swollen up like it had done before, and when she went to the doctor for check-ups, she said that our baby was completely healthy. There would be no miscarriage this time. Reggie and I were going to have the baby that was in her stomach right then, and it would be alive and healthy.
At work, Pi had spread the news about everything. This guy updated everybody on my baby, and I was the man of the hour, for many hours. One day at lunch, we started talking about it all.
"Man, I can't believe it. I remember back when you called her a dork, and now, you're expecting a child with her," Pi said as he took a bite out of his turkey sandwich.
"I know," I replied. "When we lost our first baby, the look on her face was so heartbreaking. But now, she's so happy."
"When it's born, it's gonna get a lesson or two from Uncle Pi," he said with a silly grin on his face.
"Oh, I'm scared just thinking about leaving you alone with my kid," I replied. "Only God Himself knows what kind of trouble the kid would be in." We both had a good laugh, then went back to work.
