Chapter 8: Smiles

" Rolf ? " asked Lisel

" Yes, Lisel. " said Rolf, who obviously could tell something was bothering his wife.

" Do you ever plan to start a family? " asked Lisle

" You know I do. Where is this all coming from? " asked Rolf.

" I don't know. " asked Lisle.

" Is this because you brothers and sisters are staying over tonight? " asked Rolf.

" No, I love my brothers and sisters. It's just that...I don't know. " said Lisle.

" What? " said Rolf

"Never mind. " said Lisle.

" You sure? You know you can talk to me about anything. " said Rolf.

" I know I can. That's what makes you so wonderful. " said Lisle.

~ Back at the Von Trapp Villa ~

" Max, you really haven't said much since I told you, you were going to be a father. Are you sure you're not upset? " said Elsa.

" Elsa, I'm sure I'm not upset. " laughed Max

" Then why are you laughing all of a sudden? " said Elsa.

" Because it just occurred to me, that you and Maria would be due close together.," laughed Max.

" What's wrong with that, Max. " said Maria

" Obviously, more visits from you more often." snickered Georg.

" Hush. That's a good thing when their here. I haven't down this before and neither has Elsa so this would be great to do together. " said Maria.

" Excuse me, Baroness, Baron, but Lisle is on the phone wanting to speak with you Baroness. " said Frau Schmidt.

" Of course, thank you, Frau Schmidt. Behave yourself while I'm gone, Captain. " said Maria.

" I find it hilarious that she still manages to call you Captain on occasions but when you seem to to get yourself in trouble. ' laughed Elsa.

" I'm sure he still manages to call her Fraulein at some point in time. " laughed Max.

" Do I wish it know what the discussion is about now? Or leave it at the discression or Max. " said Maria.

" What did Lisle have to say. " said Lisle.

" Actually, Georg, I'm glad your sitting. You're going to be a grandfather. That's why Lisle was calling. She tried talking to Rolf about it but with our other 6 over there, it made it rather difficult for her. " said Maria.

" Too funny. In one night, Georg finds out that he's about to be a father again and a grandfather at the same time. " laughed Max.

" Georg, please say something. When you're this quite, I know you're mad. " said Maria.

" I'm not mad, Maria. " said Georg, as he kissed his wife.

" That was evident. " said Max.

" Max, leave them alone. " said Elsa.

" I'm sorry. I love you. " said Max as he leaned over and kissed his wife.

" How about we enjoy the coffee and dessert before Maria and I can't stand even the normal sweets.and get the strange food cravings. " said Elsa.

" I for it. " said Maria as they sat down to dessert and coffee.
