One Hell of a Birthday

"Oh, I don't wanna grow up! I'm a Toys 'R' Us kid!" Ayla sang, bouncing in through the door. She flipped the light on and decided she should probably shut up, since everyone else was asleep. Unfortunately for Katie, since she was sleeping in the living room, she was woken up by Ayla's jovial homecoming.
"What the hell are you so excited about?" she groaned from the living room.
"Sorry for wakin' ya up, Katie," Ayla said, walking into the living room to stand next to the couch-bed. "Today was my last class. Now I've got a whole summer ahead of me before I have to go back to class, and then I'll have my degree! I'm so happy to not have schoooooool! Although I'll probably forgot everything before the summer's over." Ayla grinned.
"Well, good for you. Now go away and let me sleep," Katie laughed. "I'll talk to you in the morning."
"G'night, Katie," Ayla said with a laugh. She retreated to her room, but not before hearing Katie mumble somehting about 'damn nightclass-taking people'.
The next morning, Ayla was up before everyone else, amazingly. She set happily to work making toast and fried eggs for breakfast. The smell of cooking food soon woke everyone else in the apartment up, and the kitchen got pretty full pretty quickly.
"Ack! I can barely move," Ayla commented, as she put some eggs and toast on a plate and handed it to Gandalf.
"There does seem to be very little room to move about in here," he stated.
"Gandalf, stop talking. You're impossible to understand in the morning," Diane mumbled through the food in her mouth. A piece of half-chewed egg decided that it wanted to discover the world beyond her mouth and landed on the back of Haldir's head. He didn't notice, so Diane just moved over a bit, and acted innocent.
After a bit, everyone dispersed throughout the apartment, although there wasn't all that much to disperse through. Two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen isn't exactly a lot of room when you've got five people to house.
Ayla quickly showered and changed into her waitressing uniform before calling a round of good-byes and heading off to work. Gandalf headed off for his walk, joined by Haldir this time, and Diane sat down for a few hours of work at her computer. Katie wandered around the apartment, bugging Diane and generally being the hoverbug that sisters are.
The next few days went pretty much the same, and nothing of any interest happened.
---
On Friday morning, Ayla was once again up before everyone else, but she was not to be found in the kitchen. Unfortunately for her, she was kneeling in the bathroom, head hanging in the toilet, gagging up the contents of her stomach. That is where Gandalf found her.
"Are you alright?" he asked, poking his head in the door.
"Morning sickness," Ayla mumbled. "I was hoping it wouldn't hit, but alas, my dreams have been shattered."
Gandalf chuckled. "Would you like me to make you breakfast?" he offered.
Ayla moaned. "Don't talk about food," she groaned. "I don't think I can hand-" she stopped talking and proceeded to gag into the toilet.
"I apologise," Gandalf said. "I'll get you a glass of water."
"That'd be good," Ayla mumbled.
Soon after, the rest of the household woke up and found out that the bathroom was off limits until about eleven o' clock, when Ayla finally emerged from the room. She had cleaned up and showered and looked okay, although still pale.
"You feeling okay?" Diane asked.
"I should be able to make it to work this afternoon, but I still feel like monkey feces," Ayla grumbled, pouring herself a glass of water. Diane smiled and patted her back.
"It'll pass," she said.
"It better, or I'll blame Gandalf." Ayla walked out of the kitchen, and towards the bedroom, mumbling 'you shall not pass,' under her breath.

So eight months later, and after twenty-three hours of labour, Ayla was exhausted, and had three new people to add to her family tree.
About a week later, she was out of bed and making her own meals again; although Gandalf usually sent her back to bed and finished making the meal for her.
And then, because this Author cant write on the story anymore, and will dissapoint everyone anyways, Ayla and Gandalf and Haldir and Diane, and the triplets too, y'all, lived happily ever after.
[And Estel grew up to hate his name and later changed it to David.]

yes. I suck. I know. :P
