Authors-Note: I am REALLY SORRY for taking so long to put the next chapter up. I was swamped with school work, so I could not take time every day to write. I will try to be better at updating faster in the future.
Chapter 5: Adjusting
A month passed by before anyone knew it. Lucy, Mary, Sarah, and Katie were now 4 months along.
Lucy and Kevin's POV:
Early one morning, Kevin was just getting up for work (at 6 AM). He had just gotten in the shower and all the sudden Lucy came running into the bathroom and put her head over the toilet just as the first wave of morning sickness came over her. Kevin rushed out of the shower and over to her.
"Hun, are you okay? Here, let me hold your hair back for you."
When Lucy was done and could speak, she said, "Thanks, Kev. Ugh, I'm going to hate these next 5 months."
Lucy went back into the bedroom and went back to bed. She was planning on taking it easy that day because she really didn't have much to do, just write her sermon. When Kevin came out and was preparing to leave, he kissed his wife and said good-bye.
Mary and Carlos' POV:
One day over lunch, Mary and Carlos were talking about plans for the near future.
'You know, Mary, you can't keep working on airplanes all day forever during your pregnancy. It's just not safe. Have you talked to your boss about getting a job at the check in desk?"
"No, I haven't but I had planned to do that tomorrow. You see, my boss was on vacation last week, so how could I talk to him?"
"You've got a point. Well, at least you're thinking about it."
"Hey, we're going to have to make plans for the nursery sometime. We need to at least do the planning right now and get a start on the actual doing right now when I'm still in my 2nd trimester," Mary said.
"Yeah, let's go to JCPenney this weekend to see what kinds of crib linens they have, etc," Carlos said.
"Okay."
"Well, I've got to get back to work. See you this afternoon when I get home."
"Great. See you then," Mary said.
Matt and Sarah's POV:
Matt and Sarah were on their way home. Their plans were to stop at Boston Market for dinner and then go to the mall and buy some baby stuff. Being OB-GYN's, they were ahead of the game.
Matt and Sarah rode along in silence. It seemed to them like a year had passed before they got to Boston Market. When they did, Matt parked the car, turned off the car, and helped Sarah out. They went inside, ordered, paid for their food, and sat down at a table. Then they began talking.
"How many more months until you go on maternity leave, Sarah?"
"2 and a half, I think. Then there'll be 2 and a half months until the baby is due. Wow. That's a long time to just be at home. I don't know if I'll be bored."
"Relax. You'll be fine. Just ask your patients how their feeling being on leave. They won't mind."
"You're positive, Matt?"
"Yes, I'm positive. I'm done, and you are too, so let's head over to the mall."
"Okay. Fine with me."
With that, Matt and Sarah left Boston Market and headed for the mall.
While at the mall, Sarah picked out a crib set and other items for the nursery. It was late when they got home.
Simon and Katie's POV:
"Okay. We've told our parents that you're pregnant, so what's next to do?"
(being sarcastic) "Oh, I don't know Simon, just sit around and do nothing. (end sarcasm) We should probably do the nursery in the next month and a half."
"Well, that's a month and a half away, so why don't we pick stuff out next weekend, and do it the weekend after that?"
"That sounds fine to me, Katie said."
Authors-Note: Thanks for hanging in there and waiting. I will do my best to get some writing in every night this week, and have CH 6 out next weekend. I am REALLY SORRY for being that long. Sorry if this chapter was a little short, but I wanted to get you guys something to read.
