Chapter 3

'Evy honey shall I pick Alex up?' Rick's voice came from the kitchen.

Evy looked up from her book 'The Mysteries of Egypt' and rubbed her head. 'Uh…yea sure.' She heard the door shut and then she rubbed her head again. She stood up and felt a sudden wave of dizziness pass over her. She grabbed the handle of the chair for balance. She had been getting these dizzy spells a lot recent and now she knew she couldn't blame it on Rick's dinner as that was well enough a while ago. She set her book down and looked in the mirror, rearranged her curls which had fallen away from her hair pin. She looked rather pale. She knew this wasn't because tiredness. She knew exactly what was wrong with her. She sighed and stood up. She didn't need this right now. She found it hard enough with Alex but another baby? And with Alex being that much older than it…how would he react? How would Rick react? Would he be susceptible to the news of another O'Connell? She wasn't sure if he would be or rather if she was ready.

'Dad, can I ask you a question?' Alex said from the backseat of the car.

'Sure son. Fire away.' Rick said as he changed gear into third.

'Well when we were in school Richard was talking about his mom and dad having another baby and how he didn't like the idea cause then he wouldn't be the only kid. You wouldn't do that to me would you?' He asked.

'Well I don't know kiddo. You can tell your mom that as she is the one who normally deals with this sort of situation.' Alex's face filled with confusion and Rick laughed as he took his eyes from the rear mirror. 'You'll learn when you're older kid.' They continued the journey in silence with Alex still trying to understand what his father had meant.

'Ok Evy you know you are probably imagining things' Evelyn said to herself as she paced in her room. 'You are probably just stressed what with all the work at the Library.' She paced a few more times and then she heard the door shut and small foot steps run up the stairs. Suddenly the door opened and Alex walked in. 'Hey Alex how was school?'

'Fine. Mom, Dad asked me to ask you this question.' He said breathless after running up the stairs at full speed.

'Yes?' She said.

'Well Richard in my class said his mom is going to have another baby and he said he didn't want them to have a baby because then he would be the only child. You and Dad wouldn't do that to me would you?' He asked blinking.

'Well…Alex you can't plan these sort of things…sometimes they just happen.' She said knowing otherwise.

'Oh.' Was Alex's reply. 'Well just don't do it to me.' He said and went over and hugged his mother's waist. 'Mom, are you getting fat?' He asked. Evy's facial expression changed.

'Pardon?'

'Well it's just I don't remember your tummy being this big when I hug you.' He said, not knowing he had upset his mother.

'Well Aex Richard O'Connell your mother is certainly not fat. That is very insulting to say to a woman.' She said angered slightly.

'Sorry mom.' He said and hugged her once more and then left the room feeling guilty. Evelyn sat down on the rocking chair and placed her hand on her stomach. Alex was right, her stomach certainly was bigger. But that wasn't gluttony this was something else. Something amzing. A miracle. Evy opened her eyes. Was she just thinking that this was amazing? Maybe she was happy about the situation. She caressed her stomach and smiled. She was pregnant, she could feel it. Her face filled with joy and she giggled.

'Was that giggling I heard?' Her brother's voice came from the doorway. Evy opened her eyes to see Jonathan standing watching her.

'Maybe.' She said and stood up.

'Is there something wrong?' He asked. He knew what was up because women don't just rub their stomachs for the fun of it…do they? He blinked the thought away.

'Well…there is something but I want to tell Rick first.' She smiled and patted her brother's shoulder before heading downstairs to her husband. Jonathan watched her go and smiled. Was he going to be an uncle again?

Ok end of that short chapter. It was just really a wee chapter to tell us what is happening! Please tell me what you think? Should I continue? Thanks Molz xXx
