Author's Note: This is the last chapter about someone getting pregnant in the family. For the purposes of this story, Simon is married and has a wife who is Lucy's age. They live in a town just outside of Glenoak.

Simon and Katie (that's his wife's name) are sitting in their apartment. They had been married for a year. Katie is 3 months pregnant.

"Honey, we're going to have to tell our parents sometime. We can't just have this baby without anyone knowing." Simon said this with a bit of urge.

"Oh, alright," Katie said. "We can make arrangements to see your family Friday night for dinner, and mine Saturday night for dinner. I'm just really shy about oral stuff."

"Don't be afraid," Simon said. "I'll call my parents and you call yours. You use the land line and I'll use my cell."

Simon and Katie made the calls, and everything was set up for the dinners.

Friday night at the Camdens:

(Katie rings the doorbell)

Eric opens the door.

"Hi Simon, Katie. Listen, dinner's almost on the table, so just head on in to the dining room. Everybody else is there already. We thought you weren't coming."

"Hi, Dad. Come on Katie, let's go," Simon said.

Eric closed the door behind them, and then went into the dining room himself.

When they walked into the dining room, everyone murmured hello. Simon and Katie took the two empty spaces along the sides of the table. Eric sat down, and the family held hands saying grace.

When grace was done, everybody passed around the platters of food, and dug in.

After the main meal, Sarah, Lucy, Ruthie, and Annie got up and cleared the dishes. Then they brought out coffee and the dessert platter. The dessert was consumed quickly, but everyone sipped their coffee or other hot beverage slowly. Finally Simon spoke up.

"Everyone, Katie and I have an announcement to make. You've heard this a few times before, so it's nothing new. Katie, go ahead, tell them"

"I do indeed have something to say. (pauses) I'm pregnant"

"Wow. That's 4 pregnancies right now in this family. Amazing," Ruthie said.

Everyone else nodded their agreement and just said congratulations.

Annie asked, "When are you due, Katie?"

She responded "Very late September to early October. The doctors couldn't give us an exact date yet."

Sarah spoke up. "Wow. That means mine, Mary's, Lucy's and your due dates are around the same date. That will be cool, though. Just think about it. These kids will have family their age, and have almost the same birthday."

"I never thought about that," said Annie. "But now that you say it, that's exactly right. How cool will that be!"

It was getting very late. In fact, the clock read 9:00. The twins needed to get to bed, so Simon and Katie & Matt and Sarah went home. All the residents of the house went to their bedrooms. Lucy and Kevin stayed in the house to help Annie with the twins' baths or to help with the rest of the dishes. They too soon went to their home, the garage apartment.

Saturday Night at Simon's in-laws:

Katie had stressed her parents' view on dinner apparel, so grudgingly Simon changed his clothes before they left. He put on a casual dress shirt and Dockers, much to Katie's approval. Katie put on dress pants and a nice shirt. They did other preparations, and Simon and Katie were soon on the way to her parents' house.

When they got to her parents' house, Simon drove into the driveway, shut of the engine, got out, and walked around to the other side of the car. Being the nice gentleman he was, Simon opened Katie's door and helped her out, then closed her door and locked the car. They walked up hand in hand to the door.

Katie said, "You ready?"

Simon replied, "As ready as I'll ever be. Go ahead. (takes a deep breath) Ring the doorbell."

Katie complied, and the couple waited in silence for her parents to come to the door.

"Hello Katie, Simon. It's nice to see you two again. Gosh it's been a long time. You should come here more often. Well come on in and hang your coats by the door." Katie's mom said these last words.

"Hello, Simon. (Katie's dad shook his hand) Dinner's almost ready, so come into the dining room with me while your mother in-law gets dinner on the table."

It was not long before the table was loaded with an entrée and several sides, biscuits, and salad.

"Wow. You really go all out for a daughter and her husband," Simon said.

"Well, it's the least we can do." Katie's mom said as she came in and sat down at the table. "Now let's join hands and say grace."

The parents and couple said grace, and then ate the wonderful meal that was prepared for the occasion.

When everyone was done eating, Katie's father spoke up. "So, you two must have come here for some reason, you wouldn't just come here on a Saturday for the heck of it. Spill your guts."

Katie took a deep breath and grasped Simon's hand. "Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant"

"Congratulations Katie! Your mother and I will be grandparents finally. I can't believe it!"

"Congratulations also, Katie. When are you due?"

"Early October."

"Oh wow. That's not for a long time."

"Well duh, pregnancies in humans ARE ¾ of a year!"

"Yes, your father and I knew that. We went through it twice."

"Wait a minute – twice? Katie said she was an only child."

"Yes. We had another baby but she had severe muscular dystrophy and was paralyzed from the neck down from birth."

"That's sad." Simon said.

The couple and parents talked for a few more hours and then Simon and Katie left to go home.

Author's Note: Sorry this chapter isn't as good as the other chapters, but I was busy all this week and wanted to get this chapter out so I didn't spend as much time on it.
