For The Moment

Chapter 6: A Great Idea

Sarah Camden smiled over at her three children who were sitting quietly at the table doing their homework. She had picked them up from school 20 minutes ago and they had been working since they got home. She made them a snack, then when she was about to get herself one, the phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and was excited to see that it was Ruthie. She picked up the phone and happily greeted her sister in law.

"Hey Ruthie!" She said. "How are you? How do you feel? Is everything going OK? Are you excited for the baby to come?" She asked with out taking a breath. Ruthie laughed loudly before responding to the many questions.

"Hello to you too!" She said cheerily. "I'm pretty good. I'm six months and 3 along right now, so from what I hear, I'm at the fun point before this all gets uncomfortable." She laughed and so did Sarah, what Ruthie said was true! "I'm really nervous about reaching 7 months because that's the start of the third trimester, and that's when things start not being so fun…so I'm hanging onto this! I'll be 7 months in 2 days. I can't even believe it. The baby's kicking a ton, and it's really weird! Yes, we're so excited for the baby to be here. I'm technically not excited for the baby to come because, well, I really don't want to deal with labor, but looks like I'm going to have to." They laughed again.

"Yeah, that normally comes with pregnancy." Sarah told her. "But you'll do just fine, sweetie, don't worry. I won't lie and tell you that it's easy, I mean it really does hurt, but once you see that little baby, you forget all about it. It's so worth it."

"Yeah, so I hear." She said with a chuckle. "Well, I'm calling because Peter and I are making the announcement today about the sex and name of the baby. We've been trying to decide for about a month now on a name, and we finally chose one yesterday. Drum roll please!" Sarah did one, excited to find out the answer. "It's a boy!" Ruthie said finally. "Peter gets the son that he wanted! And his name is going to be Jackson Peter…Jack for short."

"Oh, Ruthie! That's adorable! And a boy? You're going to have a fun time with him. You'll get to get him little baseball caps and blue overalls; I had a great time dressing Jake when he was a baby. My other two are girls, so he was my opportunity to go all out!"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I wish that we could all be together for this special time. I mean, when you, Lucy, Cecilia, and Lina were pregnant, you all got to be together and have the baby showers and share in everything that was going on. I feel so alone out here! And were're getting to the point where I can't really fly any more, and it's not like all of you can come out here, that would be crazy."

"Oh, honey, it's going to be OK." Sarah told her as she heard Ruthie begin to cry. "We want to be with you too, but you live there, and we live here. I mean, we all hate that we're not going to get to see our new nephew being born, and see him when he's only a day old. But just remember, after you have him, you'll be able to come out, and we'd all love to have you three here. And you can call when ever you want if you have any questions or anything at all. I mean, I have 3 kids and I'm a pediatrician married to an OB/GYN: We've got the kids area covered! And of course, Lucy and Kevin have 6 kids! I'm sure Lucy knows a thing or two about pregnancy!" They laughed. "Don't worry."

"Thanks Sarah." Ruthie said genuinely. "I'm sure I'll be calling a lot in the next few months." She paused. "Well, I better go. I have a lot of other calls to make! I love you and miss you! Tell Matt and the kids hi for me, all right?"

"I will. We love you. Call again soon. Bye!" They hung up and Sarah smiled. She turned back to her kids. "Well guys, Aunt Ruthie is having a little boy. In January you'll have a new cousin named Jack!" She announced. The kids smiled, happy at the prospect of a new baby in the family. "All right, that's enough, back to your work!" She said with a laugh. The kids continued and she went about getting the snack that she had been going for when the phone rang.

A few hours later, the kids had finished their homework and were spread about: Kate was at a movie with some friends, Jacob had gone to play with his cousin Ben at his Aunt Cecilia and Uncle Simon's home, and Amanda was at Sam and Lina's playing with Molly. Sarah cleaned up the house then sat down to read a magazine, enjoying the rare silence. After a few minutes, she heard the garage door go up, signaling that her husband had returned. Soon she heard him come in and she stood up, walking over and kissing him.

"Hey Beautiful." He greeted her. "How was your day? Where are the kids?"

"Well, my day was great. Kate's at a movie and Jake and Mandy are at cousin's houses." She explained. "Ruthie called this afternoon." She said. Matt smiled, waiting for more information. "She's 7th months along in two days, and she's really enjoying it. And they announced today that it's a…" She paused for suspense. "Boy! Jackson Peter. Jack!" Matt smiled widely.

"That's awesome. I'm so happy for them. I know they've been trying for a long time to get pregnant. I'm glad that everything's going as planned and everything." He said. Sarah smiled and nodded in agreement.

"I know, isn't it great?" She replied. "She's sad though that no one's over there with her. You know, we all live here, and she doesn't have family there to help her through all this." Matt nodded slowly. Finally, he looked at his wife.

"Why don't you to visit her?" He asked curiously. "Take off work on a Friday, fly over there, spend the rest of Friday and Saturday with her, and fly back Sunday night. Take off work on Friday, and then you're not on call again for a few more weekends, so it would work out." Sarah thought for a moment.

"Ya know what?" She asked slowly. "I think I will. That's a great idea honey!" She kissed his cheek. "Are you sure you'd be ok alone with the kids all weekend?"

"Sarah, they're not babies any more. I mean, Amanda's 8! Ruthie needs you more than I do. Really. If you're lucky you might be able to get tickets and go this weekend. It's only Tuesday…you'd have a few days still before the flight, and it's not to far. Go for it."

"Thanks." She said. "I'm gonna go call the airline!" She grabbed the phone book and hurried to the phone with a smile on her face. Matt smiled too, happy to see that his wife was so excited. He walked over to the freezer and got out a two person shrimp and pasta meal, popping it into the microwave while his wife talked on the phone in the other room. After it beeped, he poured sauce over the pasta and took a bite. For a microwave dinner, these were always great, and tonight's mean was no exception. He scooped the food out onto two plates and set the table. When Sarah came out of their room, she had a smile on her face. "Well…that's it. I'm going!" She said happily. She jumped up and hugged her husband. He laughed and squeezed her tightly.

"I'm glad! You're going to have a great time. Ruthie needs you right now, and she's really going to appreciate you being there. I'll be fine here, so don't worry about a thing." He reassured her. "Sit down and eat." He lead her to the table and she smiled.

"You made dinner! Thank you!" She sat down and dug in, hungrier than she thought. Matt sat across from her and began to eat as well. By the time they finished, both of them were full. Sarah leaned back and looked out the window. "Kate's in the driveway." She said. "I'm going to go call Ruthie and tell her the good news!" She said as Kate walked in. She kissed her daughter on the head on her way past as she went into she and Matt's room. She grabbed the phone and dialed her sister-in-law's number by heart. When Ruthie answered, she couldn't help but smile.

"Hey! It's Sarah!" She greeted. "Guess what!"…
