When they got back, everyone had arrived. Mary pushed through the crowd
to find Carlos. She dragged him into the kitchen.
"What is it, Maria?" Carlos said, calling his wife by her pet name.
"Matt really took me to the clinic, because I was feeling sick. It turns out, I'm having a baby!"
Carlos looked stunned and then hugged his wife.
"Why didn't you get me to take you, Maria?"
"I didn't want to worry you, and Matt kind of just took me. I thought it was the flu, but it's not, apparently."
"Can we tell anyone?"
"Yes, we can, but lets wait until tomorrow at Thanksgiving dinner and say that's what we are thankful for."
Carlos nodded as they happily walked out into the living room where all were gathered.
"Hi, Paris! You look great!" Mary said to the pregnant mother of her brother-in-law Peter.
"Thanks, Mary. I'm due in 20 weeks, and now I know why I never had another after Peter!" She rolled her eyes.
Annie and Chandler, Paris's husband, came up behind her.
"You don't look to good. Your face looks swollen, and your feet do too. Please, Paris, sit down." Annie said.
"Oh hi, Chandler. Ooo, wow! I'm not feeling good, and my vision is kind of blurry again, Chandler. And oh my head is throbbing. I'm gonna lay down." Paris said.
Annie looked concerned. She had had complications during her first pregnancy with Matt, and recognized these symptoms. She led Paris upstairs. She walked out of the living room, up the stairs, and into the spare room. She asked Chandler to call 9-1-1. Annie sat with Paris and Chandler in the upstairs room as they waited for the ambulance to come.
