We sat around on the porch as Gordie and Chris were being stupid trying to cheer me up. They ran around the porch purposely running into each other and doing other dumb stuff like that. It made we laugh all day. I still make fun of them for that.

It was May 19, I got up to a dark room. I just stared at the walls not bothering to check the time. I uncovered myself and looked down. "Shit, I grew." My stomach had like grown over night, I was a blimp. I walked out to go to the bathroom and I waddled like a penguin. When you look back at it it's kind of funny. I went to the bathroom and examined my weight. I was now officially 120 pounds. When I first got here I was 100, I had gained twenty. I decided that I was going to take a shower. I climbed in the cold tub and turned on the warm water. I felt good. I was known at school now as the slut that Chris knocked up, but it doesn't bother me or Chris he still loves me the way I am.

I walked out of the bathroom and tried many things on , but nothing fit. I think it was time to maternity close. I called my aunt up the stairs as I stand there with my slightly large belly. All I had on was my bra and underwear. "Aunt Dorothy!!!" I opened the door to a crack and then closed it quickly so no one could see me.

I heard foot steps coming up the stairs, there was knock at the door. I ran to my bed and wrapped the sheets and comforter around myself.

"Come in." I said sitting there waiting for my Aunt to come in. The door opened slowly and in walked my aunt with a plate in hand and her apron on, and her brown hair pulled back into a ponytail.

"Yes dear you called?" "I got up with the blankets around me and uncovered myself just so she could see my stomach. "I think I might need some new close." I said pointing to my stomach. "I would say so dear." She said coming over to me and hugging me. My Aunt decided that I would just have to wear my pajamas, to go shopping, she decided that I didn't have to go to school today. I walked out of my room in my bright blue pajamas waddling down the narrow stairs.

"Damn, I'm hungry." I said waddling into the kitchen. I waddled over to the cabinets and grabbed a quick bite to eat. "Hey, girl you are looking good." I turned around to see a handsome young man with short brown hair and clear blue eyes with his usual white muscle shirt on with his blue jeans, I knew right away that it was Chris. The sweetest man in the world. "Hey." I said leaning in and giving him a kiss.

"Your not dressed?" I looked down at my blue pajama pants and my light blue spaghetti strap on. I looked down at my shirt and pulled it off my body and lifted it up. "Yeah I kind of need new close these are a little to small, but they still fit." "Oh I see." He said checking me over. "I grew ,Chris, or the baby grew whatever." "Oh sorry honey, the bus is here I will see you later, and you." He said kissing me and then my stomach. I think he was getting attached to the baby. He treated it like it was his own. He talked to my stomach and sometimes that kind of scared me, but then it's kind of sweet if you think on it. I sat down at the table eating my chips and I had a coca cola. I knew that it wasn't exactly breakfast food, but it is what I craved. "Hey." I looked up from where I was sitting and saw my uncle with his casual white shirt on with nice black pants on and his black shoes clicked every time he walked. "Hi Uncle Lachance." He walked by rubbing my head of brown and just smiling all happy. I just sat there with my feet up on another chair that was there at the table and ate my chips and took sips of my coca cola.

I later got up and waddled up the stairs to get ready to go shopping. I waddled into my room and sat at my desk, putting my foundation, my mascara, my blush, and my eyeliner on.

"Come on dear if you want to go shopping now we better hurry." I tried to run, but it was impossible I had to take my on sweet time waddling down the stairs. "Coming." I said grasping the railing and taking one step at a time. "Few." I said wiping the sweat away from my forehead. "Oh dear let me help you." My Aunt said as she grasped my elbow and helped me out into the bright sunny day as we headed down town to go clearance shopping.

We headed down the main road at forty miles per hour, listening to "Rockin Robin".

I leaned my head out the open window as my hair flowed from the wind. "You know dear…" My Aunt was blabbing on and on, on how proud of me she was. I was sort of listening, but then I drifted on, thinking on how my baby was going to look like, and if it was a boy or girl, all the question were running through my head. We arrived at "Arlee's Attic." I opened the door and got out and waddled toward the door. I opened it and saw tons of maternity cloths. "Wow ,Aunt Dorothy, there are lots of cloths!" I said walking toward the rack of medium sized cloths.

After two hours of spending time in the Attic, I came out with five dresses, six pairs of jeans, and seven shirts. I was proud of my extremely large wardrobe. I walked out into a cloudy day. It had started to get a little cloudy while we were in the store, the wind was picking up to high speeds. "Let's get home before anything bad happens." My Aunt said shouting over the wind as it blew her hair and mine. I looked up at the blackened sky as we drove home. It was very rare for us to get this kinds of storms. Aunt turned on the radio to get more information. "This is KMNL and there is a Tornado watch in Castle Rock till 9:00, stay tuned for further information."

"Whoa! A tornado watch." I said looking at the black sky again. It began to thunder very loudly and then God, sent forth his wrath and fury of pouring rain. The rain was so hard that we could barely see through the window, but we finally got home.

We turned the corner as the rain began to lighten up and drove home fast. Aunt speed up to about sixty just barely making home till it really started raining. My Aunt ran in the house barely wet. I waddled in the house dripping with my new close soaked from the rain. "Honey you look ridiculous." She said laughing a little. "Well so do you." I said laughing at her. I ran up the stairs and put my cloths on my bed and then waddled back down the narrow stair and headed to the basement to prepare for the worst.

"Aunt Dorothy?" "Yes dear I'm over here." She had a candle in her hand and blankets. "Please dear come over here and sit in the corner for your own protection." I waddled over to the corner with a blanket and warmed myself up and made myself comfortable. "Boom!!" "Holy shit what was that?" I asked Aunt Dorothy pointing up the stairs. "I don't know." She said scratching her head.

"Mom?" "Oh ,Gordon, we are down here hurry!!" She said screaming at the top of her lungs. I heard six pairs of foot steps and down came Gordie, Chris, and Teddy.

"Hey guys." I said smiling and waving at them. "Hey girl." said Chris running over to me and sitting by me. He placed his arm around me and also warmed me up a lot. "So how you doing?" He asked looking me over. "Fine and dandy, how 'bout you?" "Fine." He said taking my hand and holding it.

"Mom?" "Yes dear?" "Where is dad?" "Well I do believe he had to go to work today." She said flatting the bottom of her dress and taking a seat on the hard cement floor. "But if the weather is acting up like this I'm sure he will make his way home." She said trying to reassure Gordie that his father was going to be ok.

It had been about half of an hour and we were all stuck in the basement when we had no clue what was happening up stairs.

Bang… We heard pots banging against the walls and pans being tossed against the wall. Then the wall's began to shack.

"Shit ,Chris, I think I'm going to die." I said grabbing for his hand and squeezing it tight. "You will survive." He said kissing my lips. "With you I will." I said looking into his clear blue eyes. "Aww, that's so sweet." Said Gordie looking at us with a big smile on his face. "Thanks ,Gordo, now get out of our conversation." I said slapping him in the face, softly. He just sat back against the wall and crossed his arms looking into space.

The night was long, we heard more sirens than ever. The next day we woke up to sun seeping through the cracks of the windows.

I opened my eyes slightly and looked up and I saw Chris's beautiful face. He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. I was laying on his stomach hearing his heart beat and feeling him breath in and out. I never thought in my life that I would wake up to the sight of my love and my life Chris.

I got up slowly trying not to wake Chris. I waddled to the stairs feeling a light breeze running past me as I waddled up the stairs. I waddled into the kitchen and saw tree limbs that came from the window on the kitchen table and debris in on the counter and the appliances everywhere.

I waddled over to the front door and went and looked outside.

The streets were wild, people running everywhere to find their things. There were lots of debris ,and trees and tree limbs all over the road impossible to get through.

"Looks bad.!!" I heard a voice from behind. "Yup sure is ,Gordo." His hair was sticking up again like every morning.

"Did your dad ever come home last night?" I asked looking into his dark brown eyes. "No he probably got stuck at work." He said putting his hand on the door frame and leaning on it. He didn't sound concerned. He was actually being happy about it. With a smile on his face and his actions pointed toward being happy.

That day I had planned to go see Brittany and her three daughters, Identical girls so adorable. I walked onto the porch and picked the chairs up and straitened it up. I went to the swing and sat on it after straightening it out. "I'm going upstairs and changing." I said announcing it to Gordi. I walked up the stairs to see no damage at all, a little odd I think. I walked into my little room and went directly to the closet. I pulled out one of my pretty maternity dresses. It was white with a bow in the back, kind of formal. I bent down barely reaching my shoes, they were white with straps to go over my feet. I carefully walked out of the room headed down the stairs and headed out the door to Brittany's. I walked down the streets seeing STOP signs knocked down or bent to the ground. I saw a lot of roof shingles on the ground with a lot more tree limbs.

I approached a little white two story house. I went and knocked. "Carleen please stop crying!!" I heard Brittany ay as she approached the door holding her first born Carleen.

"Hey!" she said handing me Carleen as she went and walked up the stairs to her room where Alexandria and Joyce or she called her by her middle name Renee.

I waddled up the stairs cautious of not dropping her.

"You got big!!" She said amazed at my change in size. "Yeah I waddle every time I walk." I said laughing. I waddled over to her bed holding Carleen and sat down and put my feet up.

"So how are you?" "Oh, I'm fine I just can't wait for it all to be over!!" I said fed up with being pregnant. "Yeah that's about where I was at six to seven months." She said now holding the little blonde haired blue eyed beauties in her two arms. Se he lifted them up and cared both of them to her small bed.

We talked for about an hour and played with the girls.

"Hey ,Brit, I'll see you later I got to go." I said waving as I descended the stairs. "Bye." She yelled as one of the baby's began to cry loudly.

I walked home at about noon and went and stopped for ice cream.

I walked in to the little parlor, it had black and white checkered tiles and ice cream crates all around. I walked up to a brown haired boy turned talking to a girl behind the desk.

"Hello?" I said tapping this man on the shoulder.

"Yes can I help you?" He said turning around to reveal his sapphire blue eyes.

"Vern, I didn't know you got a job." "Yeah my mom made me get it to pay off my new car." He said pointing to a new Cadillac outside, blue with a license plate that read "movoutofway99"

"I like it." I said staring at it. "Me too." He said nodding up and down and had a little smile on his face.

"So you want something?" He said pointing to the wide sulection of flavors.

"Yeah Chocolate please, two scoops." I said holding up two fingers to indacate two. "Ok." He said bending down and getting the ice cream scooper. He got back up and got a cone and opened the slide glass door and got two scoops of ice cream and placed them on the cone. "Here you are ,Mel, two fifty." He said holding his hand out waiting for the money. I leaned over and reached into my pocket an pulled exsaxly two fifty out and handed it to him. "Bye ,Vern, see you." I said as I walked out and the bell on the door rang. I walked home licking it the whole way. I arrived to the house with Aunt Dorothy sitting on the swing with her head in her hands and Gordie and ChChris sitting there rubbing her back and talking to her. I tried to run up there, but it was impossible so I speed walked. I walked up now very concerned seeing cops all along the drive way. I opened the screen door and waddled to the swing as fast as I could.

"What happened." I said bringing my hands to my knees to ketch my breath. "Your Uncle." My Aunt said looking up staring at me with her face flushed and her eyes teary eyes, mascara running down her face. "He……"
