Chapter 3: Cecilia
Simon and Cecilia had had a hard day, working in her father's shop. They settled on the couch, watching a movie.
"Simon," Cecilia whispered, "I have something I need to tell you,"
"What is it?" Simon asked.
Cecilia shifted and fluffed her pillows.
"Well, the thing is, uh."
"Cecilia, come on. You know you can tell me anything" Simon urged her.
"Well. Whatever it is that I tell you, you'll still love me, right?" She asked him.
"Of course! I'm your husband. We don't keep things from each other, do we?" Simon said.
"Okay, here it goes. About a week ago I started getting sick. I went to the doctor, and he told me." she stammered.
"He told you what? Are you sick?" Simon demanded.
"No! Not at all!" Cecilia said, "He told me that, well, we're going to have a baby!"
"Cecilia, that's wonderful!" Simon cried. "Can we tell our families yet?"
"Of course!" said Cecilia, "I just wanted you to know first!"
The two hugged and kissed, and then walked out into the kitchen to spread the good news to their families.

Everyone was in the kitchen, helping with dinner, when Simon and Cecilia walked in.
"Everyone," Cecilia announced, "We have something to tell you."
Annie, Eric, Ruthie, and the twins glanced up from their work.
"What is it, honey?" Annie asked.
"It better be important," said Ruthie, who was currently struggling with PMS. "Oh, I hope you two have done something right for once," Said Eric, who didn't really approve of their marriage.
Simon strode over and whispered in his mother's ear, "Can he ever be happy for us?"
"Just tell the news," said Annie, "Maybe it's good enough that he won't be so damn crabby."
"Well," said Cecilia, "About a week ago, I was getting sick a lot, remember Annie?"
"Of course, dear," said Annie, but stopped. "Wait, are you sick?"
"I hope so," muffled Eric.
"No, but I had a reason to go to the doctors, because."
"We're going to have a baby!" Said Simon and Cecilia in unison.
"Oh, that's wonderful!" Said Annie.
"Cool!" Ruthie said, without much emphasis.
"Yay!" squealed the twins, but Eric didn't look so happy.
"You're WHAT???" he demanded, his eyes filled with hatred and disgust..
A.N- Eric doesn't want them to have a baby! Who'da thunk? Well, you'll hear more about that in chapter 5, but next chapter It's Peter/Ruthie time!!!
