(A/N; thanks everybody for sticking with me, it was a huge ordeal with my computer, I'm just glad I have it back! Probably after the next couple chapters for this fic I will speed it up ahead to a few months later where Madison is actually showing. Then after that, skip a few more months and maybe she'll have the baby! YEA! Anyway, thanks again for sticking with me)

The next day, Madison dropped Ephram off at school before she headed to work since they sold the protégé to their neighbor a few days before. For the passed month or so Ephram had been looking at the new Nissan Altima with the GPS system. Madison figured now would be the perfect time to purchase the vehicle and to surprise Ephram at the same time so she called up a friend of hers at the dealership during lunch and asked him if he could somehow get the car to their house before either of them got home that night around 6pm. With the connections that her friend has, everything was set up and the car would be there later. The only two colors on the lot however, were red and silver, and Madison figured they would just stick with silver since it has worked for them in the past.

"It must be so nice to have connections like that" a co-worker of hers said after lunch.

Madison drank her coffee, "definitely makes things a lot easier." she looked over her paperwork, "so, what's on the agenda for today?"

"Well, not much really, mostly tomorrow. I think Jack said we might have to stay late tomorrow night."
Shaking her head, Madison replied, "I cant stay late tomorrow, Ephram is putting on a symphony and I want to be there. Starts at 3:30pm I think and there is no way I'm missing it. I work 'til three tomorrow and I'm not staying late" she smiled and got back to work as her co-worker shut her office door on her way out.

10 minutes later, her boss, Jack, huffed his way through Madison's office door, "What are you saying, Madison?! We need this, you have to stay late!"

Calmly, Madison looked up from her work, "Jack, you already know what I'm going to say, so I don't see why you came in here. You don't need my help every time we get new clients. Besides, I'm already staying late tonight and the next few nights."

"But the band…" he spoke on deaf ears, then sighed, "you're right, you're right…You just do so much for us and are one of the main reasons most of these bands sign with us." he turned to leave then said, "Tell Ephram good luck for me." and shut the door behind him. Madison couldn't help but smile.

Around 6:00pm, Madison picked Ephram up from school and the two talked about their day and how things had gone. Again, Madison couldn't help but smile, and the whole ride home had her hand on the back of Ephram's neck. He was oblivious though as to what would be waiting for him when they pulled into the driveway. "Why are you smiling ear to ear for?" he asked.

"You'll just have to see, sweetie" she said as she bit her bottom lip.

Not too long afterwards they pulled into the driveway and Ephram noticed there was a car parked in the driveway. He says, "are we expecting anybody? I don't…recognize the car…" he said slowly as the two got out of the Escalade. Madison excitedly skipped over to Ephram and put her arm around his shoulder, "surprise" and dropped the car key into his hand. He then realized that this was their new car and he couldn't help but run up to it and glide his hand all over it. He opened the driver's side door, mouth open in astonishment, and noticed the GPS system which welcomed him when he put the key into the ignition and started the car. Madison couldn't help but smile since she knew this is what he has wanted for a long time but never wanted to get since he liked to hold onto his money. He's thrifty, if you will. She made her way over to the opened car door and folded her arms and tilted her head, looking at Ephram. He turned off the car and just sat there with his hands on the steering wheel. He then turned his head towards Madison, "Let's take it for a spin!" and gestured for her to hop in the passenger side. He opened his mouth wide out of excitement and raised his eyebrows happily. As Madison got in on the passenger side door, she leaned over and touched Ephram's face, kissing him sweetly, "love you…"

Ephram mouthed, "love you more" as he started the car again and backed out of the driveway. Not too long afterwards he asked, "when'd you have the time to do this?"

"I have connections." she replied shrugging her shoulders and shutting her eyes as she stuck out her tongue.

As they were driving along, they noticed a sign that read 'free pups, take your pick' and Madison urged Ephram to pull over so they could check out the puppies. He did so, and the two got out of the car and made their way to where the person giving away the animals were. As they got closer, Ephram whispered, "Madison...I dont think....these are puppies..." just as he finished his sentence, the lady seemed delighted to see the two, "Welcome, welcome! Just in time, we have only a few baby piggies left!"

Madison couldnt help but chuckle, and noticed a black pig wandering around her feet. She couldnt help but pick it up and cuddle it. Ephram whispered, "we cant have a pig! Are you nuts!" Madison then, talking in a baby voice, brought the baby pig to Ephram's face, "this could be our first baby, what'cha think?"

Ephram rubbed his face, "I dont think I have a choice in the matter, do I?"

Madison grinned, "how can you not love a face like this." Madison was definitely taken with the little black pig and asked the lady several questions, one including, "how big is wittle Sammy supposed to get?" she asked playing with the curious pig. The lady replied, "not too big. Probably say about 45 pounds, which is small compared to most pigs. "We'll take him" cried Madison. The lady grinned and said, "pigs are pretty independent but are also pretty affectionate as well."
"Kinda like a cat? Just bigger...and less hairy" replied Ephram, still in shock that Madison is actually getting a pig! Before they left, the lady gave them some food for the pig and told them what to feed him and what not to feed him.
