Glenbogle.com – Part 10 By: Snowwhite Sean nearly choked on his food and Katrina swallowed hard " Um, yes Martha. I'd like to- maybe later" " Okay" Martha replied simply " Can I be its big sister too?" " Yeah sure" Katrina stammered, hoping that someone would soon change the subject fast. It was Molly who came to her rescue " So Martha. What are we going to do first?" Martha's eyes lit up at the endless choices in her mind, Lizzie laughed at the comical expression on her daughter's face and the other's smiled as finally she exclaimed " Presents, and then the jumping castle, and then....." " One thing at a time honey" Lizzie reminded Martha looked mutinous for a moment but then decided " Presents........and cake" Half an hour later the young girl stood in the middle of a growing pile of wrapping paper- presents surrounding her feet. Everything from dolls to books to a gorgeous little kilt bought especially for her by Molly with the condition that she wore it at dinnertime as her first traditional celebration. It wasn't until half way through that Katrina looked at Lexie and realised something was wrong. She was sitting to the side of the room watching as Martha unwrapped the last of her presents. Archie was helping his niece and hadn't noticed the pained expression on his wife's face. Picking up her glass Katrina walked over and sat down beside her " Are you okay?" She whispered " Yeah, yeah sure" Lexie mumbled, but her expression showed she was lying as she drew in a sharp breath as another pain hit " Um, maybe not" she admitted, looking like a scared little girl " It's not due for nearly three months" she whispered to herself, trying to deny what she felt as Katrina took her hand. " Can you stand up? " she asked Lexie nodded weakly as she got to her feet, leaning heavily on the other woman " Archie!" Archie looked up at Katrina's voice and his happy smile dropped " Lexie? Lex are you okay?" He jumped to his feet and ran to her side " What...What's going on?" " Um." Lexie glanced into his eyes " I think the baby wants to come to the party....." Archie's eyes grew round and for a minute Katrina was sure he was going to faint when suddenly Lizzie was on Lexie's other side " Come on Lex. Let's get you into the library, Mum ring the ambulance" Molly ran to the phone and Martha ran after her " Grandma is the baby going to have the same birthday as me?" " It's looking that way dear" Molly replied hurriedly as she dialled the phone " Will I get less presents?" " Honey why don't you go find Duncan and ask him to take you for a walk" Martha shrugged " Okay" and ran happily off to the other room oblivious to the chaos erupting around her.
