ARTHOR'S NOTE : I thought I would mention that in case anyone hasn't caught on yet, Max and Elsa regularly visit Maria and Georg, especially since Maria and Elsa are due around the same time. I thought it would make an interesting plot line and help me work into the story.

Chapter 9: Favorite Past Times

~ In the Von Trapp Living Room~

" Max, did you manage to talk to Georg about the Festival? " said Elsa.

" Yes, I did speak with him about that joyful topic. " said Max.

" And as usual, did you leave with a ' I'll consider it. ' " said Elsa.

" You know me to well. " said Max

" Of course I do darling. " said Elsa.

" And how would my wife be feeling this morning? " asked Max

" Max, you've asked that same question for the past 2 months, really darling, your begging to

behave like Georg. I'm fine. Just a little tired. " said Elsa.

" Me? Behave like Georg? Nothing of the sort. " said Max

" I hate to admit, Max, but Elsa is right. You are starting to behave like my husband. " said Maria entering the living room.

" Maria, darling, I didn't see there. And where is that husband of yours? " said MAX

" Max, cut it with cute remarks. Not today please. I believe he's in his study. " said Maria.

" I see the mood swings are already taking its toll on both wives. " said Max

" Max. " said Elsa.

" It's okay, Elsa, He's still got 7 more months to go. " laughed Maria.

" Don't remind me. " said Max.

" Now, your annoying me. " said Elsa.

" I'm sorry. Look what I started. I think I better go find Georg. " said Maria.

" It's okay, Maria. You didn't start anything. It is the mood swings and Max was just about to find Georg himself. " said Elsa.

" I was? Oh yes, I was. " said Max.
