"Are you all right today darlin'?" Matthew asked his wife.
"Yes, I'm fine," Rebecca replied.
"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" Matthew asked.
"Matthew, stop fussin' over me, I'm pregnant not sick," Rebecca scolded with a smile.
"You're my wife and you're carrying our baby, I'm allowed to fuss over you," Matthew said as he gave his wife a kiss on her forehead and placed his hand over Rebecca's slightly swollen stomach.
"Go on, go help Andrew with his homestead and leave me in peace," Rebecca said smiling at her husband as he left.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Good mornin' there Andrew," Matthew said.
"Mornin' Matthew," Andrew replied.
"Let's get the fireplace finished off today and then we can start building the walls tomorrow, how's that sound?" Matthew asked.
"Great," Andrew said, pleased they were making progress.
"We're lucky it's been a mild winter this year so far, I'd say if the weather holds up like this then we should be finished sometime in March, which is perfect for your weddin' in April," Matthew reported.
"That's great news, Colleen will be happy to hear that," Andrew said.
"She sure will," Matthew said.

"Hey there Brian," Michaela said as she walked in to the Gazette.
"Hey ma," Brian said.
"I thought you might like to join me for lunch, we haven't really had a chance to talk lately, I miss ya," Michaela said.
"I've missed you too," Brian said as he took his printing apron off and washed his hands. He then held out his arm for his mother and they began their walk over to Grace's café.
They sat down at a table and Grace came over to take their orders.
"What you two having today?" Grace asked in her always-cheerful mood.
"I think I'll have the meatloaf," Brian said.
"I'll have the same," Michaela said.
"Sure thing, they won't be long," Grace said and then walked away with a smile.
"So then Brian, how is everything going at the Gazette?" Michaela asked breaking the silence.
"Just fine. With the town growin' so fast there is more for me to do now so it keeps me busy."
"How are things with you and Sarah?" Michaela asked.
"Great. Why do you ask?" Brian said.
"Oh, no reason its just. well what I wanted to say is that I know you were a little afraid of what I would say because of my reaction to Matthew and Ingrid's sudden engagement, but I think you and Sarah are good for each other and you love each other deeply. I will be behind you in any decision you make, even if you decide to get married some day, just promise me that you won't rush in to anything you're not ready for."
"I won't ma. I have been thinking about that and I think I would like to marry Sarah in the near future but I don't think I'm ready yet. I have been saving up my money for a while now, ready for when that time comes, I want to be ready for such a big decision," Brian told his mother truthfully.
"Well I think that is a wise decision," Michaela said.
Brian continued, "and even if we were to get engaged some day soon then I think we would be engaged for a while before getting married."
Michaela smiled at her son and said, "I am so proud of you Brian, you have grown in to a great young man with a good head on his shoulders."
"Thanks ma," Brian said.
"Here you go, two slices of meatloaf, enjoy," Grace said as she placed the plates in front of them.
"Thanks Grace, Brian said.
"Yes, it smells wonderful," Michaela said.

It was Christmas Day and all the women were rushing around the homestead getting everything ready for dinner. Matthew and Rebecca were spending Christmas Day with Rebecca's family. Mrs Sheehan and Sarah were invited to spend Christmas Day at the Sully homestead and Andrew was of course there.
Sully, Andrew, Brian, Katie and Byron were all sat in the sitting area by the fire. They were all enjoying a game of checkers.
All the women started to set the table and within minutes, Colleen announced, dinner is served.
Sully sat at the head of the table and Michaela sat beside him along with Katie and Byron. Brian was sat at the other end of the table with Sarah sat next to him and Mrs Sheehan in the next seat. Colleen and Andrew were sat across from Katie and Byron.
"Mrs Sheehan, would you do the honour's," Michaela said.
"Please, call me Mary, and I would be happy to," Mrs Sheehan said.
Michaela smiled at her.
Everyone joined hands.
"Dear God, thank you for this food for which we are about to receive and thank you for bringing us all together, Amen," Mary finished.
"Amen," everyone said in unison.
After dinner, all the men did the tidying and washing up, while Sarah and Colleen played with Katie and Byron at the table.
Michaela and Mary were sat in the sitting room, both sat in the wing-backed chairs.
"So then Michaela, what has been happening with Brian and Sarah? Sarah doesn't seem to tell me much," Mary asked.
"Well everything is going fine, in fact I was talking to Brian the other day and he was telling me that he would like to marry her one day," Michaela said smiling at her.
"Really," Mary said quite excited.
"Shh, yes but he said he didn't want to rush in to anything right away, he wants to make sure he is ready," Michaela said but then continued, "don't mention this to Sarah though."
"Oh of course not. I'm so happy she met Brian, he is a wonderful young man compared to some of the boys I have met," Mary said.
"I was a little shocked at first," Michaela admitted.
"Why?" Mary said.
"Well, I was a little shocked at how much passion they were showing each other. I came across them behind the telegraph office kissing, if I didn't know them I would have thought they were married," Michaela said.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Mary asked.
Michaela could see the worried look in Mary's eyes so she immediately said, "oh don't worry it wasn't anything like that but you could tell they definitely loved each other. In fact Sully and I walked in on them kissing about a month ago in that chair," Michaela pointed to the chair that Mary was sitting in. "Sarah was sat on Brian's lap and they were oblivious to the fact that we had walked in, they were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't notice."
"Hey ma we've finished," Brian unknowingly interrupted.
"Oh thank you Brian," Michaela said.
"I think we should be going now," Mary said.
"Ok ma," Sarah said.
"I'll give you a ride home," Brian offered.
"Thank you Brian," Mary said.
"Goodnight everybody," Mary said.
"Goodnight," Michaela said.
Brian slowed the wagon to a stop and helped Mrs Sheehan down from the wagon.
"Goodnight Brian," Mrs Sheehan said deciding to give them a moment alone.
"Goodnight Mrs Sheehan," Brian replied.
Brian then turned to help Sarah down from the wagon; they then shared a romantic kiss.
"Merry Christmas," Sarah said as she slowly pulled away from Brian.
"Merry Christmas," Brian said, he gave her another kiss and then whispered "I love you."
"I love you too," Sarah said and then she slowly walked in to her house.
Rebecca and Matthew walked in to the clinic to see Colleen. Seen as though Colleen did the first examination they decided that Colleen should be the one to monitor the pregnancy and perform the delivery.
"Hello Colleen, we've come for our check up," Rebecca said.
"Very well, Matthew, why don't you go wait outside and Rebecca, I need you to get on to the table," Colleen instructed.
Matthew helped his wife on to the examination table and then left them to it.
Colleen finished her examination and then brought the stethoscope up to Rebecca's stomach, she then said, "everything seems to be fine, you're healthy and the baby is healthy."
"Oh that's great," Rebecca said relieved.
Colleen helped Rebecca down from the table and walked her to the door.
Matthew stood up as they walked out of the clinic and asked, "so how is everything?"
"Great, couldn't be better," Colleen told her brother.
"Oh that's wonderful," Matthew said.
"I'll see you two later then," Colleen said.
"Bye sis," Matthew said.

OK, OK, now I know I promised you more Colleen and Andrew, all I'm going to say is Valentine's Day is just around the corner!!(
I just want to say though, when I stated writing this story, I actually intended on focusing on Brian and Sarah because you don't tend to come across them too often, I only put Colleen and Andrew, Matthew and Rebecca in here because my friend said it needed something to break the story up a bit! So I'm sorry if there seems to be more about Brian and Sarah than Colleen and Andrew!
Please review if you want more Colleen and Andrew!! **Loopylou1**
Lamberg - if you were the real Lamberg then I would be completely at your mercy but *tears*, you're most likely not the real thing so all I have to say is thanks for the review!!
