Not too long afterwards they pulled into the driveway of their new house. Ephram jokingly said, "oh yeah, and, apparently we're infamous around here." as he pointed to the person with the camera between two houses on the other side of the street.
They all flooded out and made their way into the house. The spiral staircase in the decent sized entryway was the first thing everybody saw. The living room was straight ahead and the kitchen was off to the left. Ephram gave everybody a tour of the house and when they got to the basement, Jess asked, "so, what are you going to do with this room? Arcade maybe? Pool table, big screen TV?"
Madison replied, "I'm going furniture shopping tomorrow while Ephram is at school, so if you and Delia want to come and help me out, you are more than welcome to!"
Bright asked, "what am I and Dr. B gonna be doing while you ladies are out shopping and dip-shit's at school!?!"
Ephram grinned, "mama T will keep you company."
A confused look came over Bright's face. Ephram clued everybody in on the neighbors and how mama T was the oldest one of them and how she liked to be up to speed with everybody coming and going.
That night, everybody got ready for bed. For right now, all Madison and Ephram had were sleeping bags and several extra sheets and pillows, "we need to get a couple futons or something" she said after awhile.
Ephram was excited about Madison's news and wanted to tell everybody, "guess what!" was all he could get out before Madison shot him a look of death which made him stop, "never mind, I forgot." he lowered his eyebrows and looked at her puzzled. While everybody was talking and joking, Madison pulled Ephram into the other room, "I've been reading up on the first trimester of pregnancy and they say that the first month is always the hardest, that about 70% of women have miscarriages during that time."
"What are you saying?" asked Ephram
"I just don't want to tell everybody until at least the first month is over. Can you do that for me? Not tell anybody?"
Ephram sighed deeply then kissed Madison sweetly, "I can."
Madison squeezed his arm, then the two went back to where everybody else was. They all had a long day so decided to hit the sack not too long afterwards.
