3.17 It's A Baby

----October 2, 2004----

"And here is your child's first picture." Dr. Robertson said, as she held out a picture to both Amy and Ephram.

"Thank you!" Amy and Ephram replied, each taking a photo.

"Well, I have a few more rounds. Leave when you're ready." Dr. Robertson said, as she walked out of the room.

"This is so great! I can't wait to tell everyone!" Amy gushed, as she stared at the black and white picture of her first unborn child.

"Then you're Mom will want to go shopping!" Ephram said.

"And Delia! She's so excited about the baby!" Amy said. She motioned to the door. "Come on, Ephram. We have to go spread the news."

Ephram and Amy walked down the hall and back into the waiting room. Everyone was waiting anxiously.

"They're back!" Delia announced, as she bounced from her seat.

Rose was beaming with joy. "Well?"

Even Harold and Andy looked intrigued.

Amy and Ephram took hands, again. It was a very comforting thing for them both to do. "Well....I think you'll all be very happy to know that...."

Before they could finish, Harold's cell phone rang. He picked it up and answered it. "Hello?"

----

"Hey Dad! Have you gotten the news about the baby yet?" Bright asked. He was pacing his dorm room.

----

"Actually, they were just about to tell us. They just walked into the room and my cell rang just as they were about to make the announcement." Harold said. He put major emphasis on the word 'just'.

"Who is it?" Amy asked.

Harold covered the mouth piece. "It's Bright. He wanted to know about the baby."

"Oh! Well hold up the phone so he can hear what we have to say!" Amy said, happily.

Harold uncovered the mouth piece. "Bright? Hey, Amy wants me to hold up the phoen so you can hear when they announce it." He waited a moment. "Okay, I'm holding it up now." He said, then he held up the phone.

"Hey Bright, can you hear me?" Ephram asked, a little loudly.

----

"Yeah Man, loud and clear!" Bright called back.

----

"Well, as we were starting to say." Amy said.

"We have a very healthy baby on our hands." Ephram replied.

"Which should be due about February second, two-thousand-five." Amy said.

----

"Just get to the good part!" Bright called out.

----

"I think you'll all be happy to know, we'll be expecting a healthy baby girl!" Amy and Ephram announced.
