Gabby was trying to sleep. She tossed and turned inside her bottle. The sounds of someone being violently sick were in the background. Finally, Gabby gave up. In a cloud of bright purple smoke, she smoked out. She re-appeared in the bathroom and made a face. Judging from the sounds, Jeannie was SICK! Suddenly, Gabby realized something that would change Jeannie, Tony and her life.
THEME SONG!
At the breakfast table, Jeannie was trying to blink up a meal.
"What's wrong?" asked Gabby, after several failed attempts. "Why can't you blink?"
"Well...I do not know..." Jeannie said.
"I know why."
"Why? How could you know why?" Jeannie asked her.
"I know things!" Gabby said shrugging.
"What do you know?" Jeannie asked.
"That YOU'RE going to have a baby!" Gabby answered.
"Why ever would you think that?" Jeannie asked.
"COME ON, Jeannie! You've been puking every morning!" Gabby said.
"Well...if you think it is possible..." Jeannie said.
"I do. Very possible," Gabby said.
"Well...it is likely. I have no powers and I have been having morning sickness..." Jeannie admitted.
"Yeah! Baby! Baby!" Gabby yelled.
"You want be to have a baby?" Jeannie asked.
"DUH! I love babies! I hope it's a girl! The only baby I get to play with is Abdullah!" Gabby said.
"Calm down, Gabby! We do not even know if I am going to have a baby," Jeannie said.
"How are you going to tell Tony?" Gabby asked.
"I do not know. But we do not have to worry about that, since he is on a week-long mission!" Jeannie said.
"Where is he right now?" Gabby asked.
"Probably two hundred feet over Canada in a plane!" Jeannie said.
"Oh."
Gabby and a very nervous Jeannie blinked (by Gabby's blink) into Jeannie's doctor's office (a genie doctor). Various people were sitting around in the waiting room. Jeannie went up to the front desk.
"May I help you?" the desk clerk asked.
"Uh...yes...I had an appointment. My name is Jeannie Nelson," Jeannie said.
"Ah...yes. Did you receive your letter?" the clerk asked.
"Which letter?" Jeannie asked.
"You should have gotten one by flying carpet."
"No...I did not get that one..." Jeannie said.
"Well, your appointment was supposed to be changed, but Dr. Bahmad will go ahead and see you."
"Oh, okay. Thank you."
Jeannie went into the office. Gabby read a magazine. The appointment didn't take long. Jeannie came back out, beaming.
"I am going to have a baby!" she said excitedly.
"Wow! That's great!" Gabby said.
She ran around the room screaming "Baby! Baby! Baby! Baby!"
"That child needs a leash!" a man said. Finally Gabby calmed down.
"I have been pregnant a few months already. I only have seven months to go!" Jeannie said.
"Cool!" Gabby said. "Is there any way to tell if it will be a boy or a girl?"
"Well...there is for genies. But I do not want to know. I want it to be a surprise!" Jeannie said.
"Well...surprises are always fun. Do you want a boy or a girl?" Gabby asked.
"Well...I do sort of want a girl."
"So do I!" Gabby exclaimed. "How are you going to tell Tony?"
"That," Jeannie said. "I do not know! But I have a lot of time to think about it!"
