That weekend at the bar Misty decided to tell her friends. "A round for you ladies?" Bud asked.
"Um, not me," Misty said. "A soda will be fine."
He looked at her with a crooked eyebrow raised.
"I'm pregnant. I can't drink."
Paige, Hazel, and Ellie squealed and Alex covered her ears. "Congratulations Misty!"
"Get the lady a soda," Alex said. "And a round for the rest of us."
He nodded and took off to get the round. When they came, Alex toasted. "To Misty and the little Manning," she said, grinning.
"To the little Manning," Ellie, Paige, Hazel, and Misty said, clinking their glasses together.

"Whoa!" Spinner exclaimed as he got a strike in bowling. It was "Downtown Sasquatch" (minus Jimmy who was keeping score) to even it out against "The Zits Remedy".
Spinner did a humiliating dance that made Marco want to cry from laughing and Craig to roll his eyes.
Snake was next and Spinner sneezed making the bowling ball go into the gutter. He stood up and glared at Spinner. "Sorry, Mr. S," Spinner said.
"Sure," Snake replied. He bowled again and got a 7-10 split.
Next up was Craig. He picked up his bowling ball that had Cody and Kerry written on it. He was so proud of his kids that he had their names put on his bowling ball. "You know," he said, as he swung back and let the ball go. "There's going to be another name on that ball soon." He got a strike as he turned around.
It took a second for it to trigger (a little longer of course for Spinner). Marco's eyes widened. "Are you serious?" he asked. "You and Misty are going to have a baby?"
"Seriously?" Spinner asked. "Congratulations!"
Joey was freaking out. "I'm going to be a grandfather. For real?" he asked. "Not adopted?"
Craig nodded and Joey let out a warrior whoop and everyone turned to stare at them. "I'm going to be a grandfather!" he exclaimed. Applause broke out in the bowling alley. He pointed to Craig. "He's going to be the father!" More applause. Craig turned away embarrassed.
