A/N-I know, another short chapter! Well, Vanessa suggested such a good cliffhanger, I couldn't let the opportunity pass! So, I'm asking for 10 ransoms for this chapter, instead of 5. Because I know you all will be dying to read more!

After dinner, I go to my room. During dinner, everyone was talking about the

wedding. Even Max was there. Rolfe didn't come, because it's bad luck to see the

bride the day before the wedding. I am going to go to sleep early so I can be well

rested tomorrow. As I get my nightgown out of my armoire, I hear a knock on my

door.

"Come in."

It's Mother.

"I thought you might like to have a little chat before you go to sleep."

She sits on my bed. We talk about many things, mostly love and children, and then

mother finally leaves. It was very exciting for me to be able to share my thoughts

with mother. I never thought that I would be able to fall asleep, but sure

enough, I did.

2 months later.

Rolfe and I came back from our honeymoon today. We went to London. I am so

excited! When we came back, we paid a visit to Mother's and Father's house. I was

telling mother about the different places we saw, and then I mention that for the last

couple of days I was getting sick in the mornings.

"Oh, Liesl, that's wonderful!"

I must have looked very shocked, and I was, because mother hurried on.

"Liesl, that's exactly what happened to me, before I found out that I was pregnant

with Isabell! Liesl, you're going to have a baby!"

I haven't told Rolfe yet, I'm planning to tell him after dinner tonight. I can hardly

wait!
