(A/N: sorry for the lack of chapters lately, I had midterms to study for! But I'm back now and will be posting more than I have been in the past week! Keep doin' what yer doin' folk, it means a lot!)

~~20 minutes later, the doorbell rang. Ephram got up to answer it and when he opened the door, a police officer was standing there, "Hi, Ephram Brown? Is your Father Dr. Andy Brown? Sister, Delia Brown?"
Ephram's face turned from a smile to panic stricken, "what's wrong!?"
"Well…"~~~

Just then, Delia threw herself on top of Ephram, making him fall backwards, "We tried calling you but the line was busy! I hate New York! I hate big cities! I hate Dad's driving!"
Andy walked into the house, "We ended up finding a nice police officer and asked him if he wouldn't mind escorting us back to your house." He smiled, "Delia was tired of driving in circles and seeing the same people standing on the same corner."
Delia pulled Ephram up off the floor, "I think Dad's unstable…" she said trying to sound convincing as she nodded her head. She started impersonating her father, " 'oh no sweetheart, we're going the right way.' YEAH! That's why we saw the same drug dealer about three times!"

The police officer left then everybody gathered around and told everybody else how their day went. Delia laughed, "Nonny almost died when she took the hat off my head and saw the blue streaks! I told her my next idea is to get my nose pierced."
Ephram tilted his head and looked at his dad who was smiling from amusement. Delia noticed it then replied, "Just kidding!" She went over and sat on Madison's lap as everybody else laughed as Delia kept messing with Ephram.

"This would be a perfect time to tell 'em." Madison said as she looked at Ephram.

"Be my guest." he said he a smile formed on his face.

Delia looked around, "tell us what? You two joined the mob?"

Jess pretended to cry, "you're getting a divorce!"

"Shut up!" replied Madison playfully, "here, sweetie, get up." she said to Delia as she made her way to stand up to look at everybody. Ephram made his way over to her, putting an arm around her waist as she bit her lip.

"Well, tell us" replied Andy as a smile formed on his face, "the anticipation is killing me."

Madison grinned, "Ephram and I are getting a dog."
Ephram looked at her as if she had two heads, "what?! What are you talking about?!"

Delia couldn't help but laugh as the two got back on the same page.

Madison laughed, patting his arm as she gave him an amused look, although still very calm and collected, "I'm just kidding sweetie, relax, it's what some people call a joke."

Delia slapped her knee, she didn't know why seeing the two of them sort of arguing, Madison amused and Ephram completely confused, was funny to her, but it was, which in turn made Madison end up laughing lightheartedly because she didn't get why Delia was laughing so hard. Bright started chuckling, "get on with it! Lets goooo!"

Madison regained her composure and pointed at Delia to knock it off. "Okay…Ephram wanted to tell you sooner, but I didn't want to tell you at all, actually-"
"Get on with it already!" replied Jess as she threw herself into a laying position on the floor, pushing Delia's feet out of the way.

"I found out three weeks ago…We're pregnant!"

Everybody was talking at once, they were all so happy and tried talking over each other to congratulate the two. Jess yelled out, "That's so groovy!" and hugged her happily.

Just then Delia said, "you mean, you're going to have little Ephrams running around? Why would anybody want that?!"

Ephram threw a pillow at her, "shut up, Dee!"

She started laughing as she caught it, "little Madisons are fine, but little Ephrams?!? I mean, who does that?!"

Ephram smirked, "you're such the teenager, I think seeing you twice a year is enough. I couldn't handle living with you year round."

After a couple more hours of everybody being so happy and congratulating Ephram and Madison, they all decided it was time for bed. Ephram had class tomorrow, and he would probably be in the music room for awhile afterwards since his performance was a few days away; the day after everybody leaves. He promised Bright that they would take him to Brooklyn after he got home, which would probably be a little after 3:30pm. Madison took the week off from work and figured they would go to a movie.

While getting ready for bed, Madison reading, Ephram just getting under the covers, he said, "Now I know why you didn't want to tell everybody until the day before they leave. The energy drained me!"
"You? I'm the one they were falling all over. Do you realize Jess is going to go shopping tomorrow to buy baby stuff…"

Ephram smirked and kissed Madison sweetly before turning out the light, "I love you."
Madison touched his face, "I love you. Night, Eph." and she kissed him before making herself comfortable in the bed, placing her hand on his chest as he wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead before they drifted off to sleep.
