Chapter 14- Everything we need to know
"Are you excited?" Judy asked Alistair on the ride back to the house from her doctor's appointment.
"I sure am." He sighed as he smiled at her. Judy returned his smile and rested her head against the seat. "Are you excited?"
"More than you can imagine."
"I love you." He told her as he stopped the car and kissed her.
"I love you too." She told him. "When are we going to tell everyone?"
"Tonight."
……………………
"What's the announcement love?" Jean asked Judy as she sat down on the couch and Lionel handed her a drink.
"Yes, what ever is this about?"
"Well, Alistair and I were going to tell you if it was a girl or a boy…"
"Oh, that would be lovely." Jean said.
"Yes, it would." Lionel agreed.
"It's
just too bad that Alistair's cousin and his family went home, isn't
it?
"Yes, but Alistair and I plan to visit them after the baby
comes."
"Oh, that's wonderful."
Then they heard the frount door open.
"Hi, all!" Sandy shouted.
"Hi Sandy." Judy said as Sandy walked into the room. "You want to find out what my baby is?"
"Oh you know!" She squeeled as she sat on the couch next to Jean.
"Yes, and now all we have to wait for is Alistair."
"Hey, hey!" They heard Alistair shout from the door, (he now had his own key).
"What took you so long?" Judy asked as they kissed.
"Well, I had to finish up at the office. I'm sorry."
It was then that Jean thought that she had been right, that fatherhood and marriage was already beginning to change Alistair for the good.
"Well." Judy sighed. "Are you guys ready?" She was slightly nervous.
"Go on love." Her mother insisted.
"Alright." Alistair put his arms around her. "We're having a boy!"
It was then that the room once again burst into cheerful endless chatter. Jean got up and hugged both of them as did Sandy. Lionel hugged Judy but wouldn't hug Alistair, no matter how hard Alistair tried. But what he would do as a congratulations for Alistair was take him out for a drink and a little guy time.
