Chap. 6- A New Edition
Matt and Sarah's House:
Andrew and Katie were both at school at would be home in about an hour. Joey was taking a nap and would wake up in about a 45 minutes. Matt would be home from work in about a half an hour. Meanwhile Sarah was freaking out.
Sarah had taken a couple of pregnancy tests and they all came out positive.
"Oh, it is too early," Sarah, murmured to herself. "Joey is only 2. But then again there is nothing we can do about it now." Sarah was now scrubbing the stovetop as hard as she could to try and get her mind off of things.
When Matt walked in he saw Sarah scrubbing the counters with all her might while tears streamed down her face.
"Honey?" Matt said as he walked over. "Are you okay? What is the matter?" Matt said this as he tried to pull Sarah away from the counter. This was hard because Sarah was struggling a lot. "Whoa, Sarah calm down sweetie, it will be okay."
Matt carried Sarah in his arms over to the couch where he sat her down. "Now," Matt started, "what is the matter?"
"I...."Sarah started, "we.... we're .... We're having a baby," Sarah finally got out.
"That is great!" Matt exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked. "Joey is only two and it is definitely way too soon."
"Honey," Matt said, "I know that it is sooner than we planned but by the time the baby is born Joey will be 3 and you know that I always love a challenge anyway."
"Oh, I love you Matt," Sarah said as she gave him a kiss.
"Do we have to get the kids today?" Matt asked.
"No, Lucy is picking them up today," Sarah explained. As soon as Sarah finished Katie and Andrew walked in the door and the Joey started crying. Sarah started to get up to give the kids snacks and get Joey from his crib.
"Sarah," Matt started, "I'll give the kids and snack and take care of Joey. You should take a nap, you look really tired."
"I definitely can not pass up an offer like that, "Sarah said.
"Do you mind if I invite everyone over for dinner to tell them the news?" Matt asked.
"Of course not," Sarah said as she started to daze off. "Wake me up and hour before everyone is supposed to be here so I can take a shower and get ready."
A few hours later Matt was waking up Sarah so that she could be ready by the time everyone got there. Sarah immediately noticed that Matt and the kids had cleaned the house. Matt had also cooked a wonderful dinner that Sarah could smell throughout the house.
"I love you, Matt," Sarah said as she bumped into him in the hall. Then Sarah kissed him and said, "thank you for all your help today."
"Anytime," Matt said. "I just don't want you to be upset about this baby."
"I am feeling better about it now," Sarah said. "I am sorry about that, it is just that it was a bit of a shock for me."
"That is alright," Matt said as he watched his wife walk down the hall thinking, "Wow she is really very beautiful."
By the time Sarah had finished getting ready both Sarah's parents and Matt's parents had arrived.
Simon and Cecelia's House:
"Hey beautiful, "Simon said as he walked into their bedroom.
"I am not beautiful," Cecelia said in an aggravated tone. "Look at me I am as big as Lucy and she has been pregnant three months longer than I have been. I cannot stand this. By the time I am nine months I will be as big as a car!"
"Cecelia," Simon started, "you are having triplets. You have to calm down besides you look beautiful now matter what." When he finished he kissed Cecelia on the lips and said, "come on we have to go if we want to be on time."
Matt and Sarah's House:
Ruthie arrived later than Annie and Eric because she had to work at her job at the "Pool Hall" and by the time everyone had arrived it was 5:00. The kids were playing outside in the backyard. It was a beautiful day but it was pretty cold but that was reasonable because it was December.
At 5:30 dinner was ready to be eaten. By the time everyone started eating it was about a quarter to six. When everyone had finished eating Sarah and Matt decided that it was a good time to tell everyone their big news.
"I...we.... we're," Sarah started.
"Let me tell them," Matt whispered in Sarah's ear. "Sarah and I having another baby."
"Congratulations," everyone rang out. After dessert everyone hung out a little while and then left to get the kids into bed.
Mary and Carlo's House:
"Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring," the phone rang through out the house.
"Hello," Mary answered the phone. "Oh hey Sarah.... That is great! I am so happy for you.... Okay I will talk to you later...Congratulations and say hi to Matt and the kids for me." Mary then hung up the phone and called to Carlos saying, "Carlos, Matt and Sarah are having another baby."
"That is great," Carlos said, "I am so happy for them."
