Chapter Seven
The two women were sitting at the table, chatting and listening to the aggravated yells coming from the room next door where their husband's were working on Peter's lego set. They were also keeping their eyes on the three kids playing hide-and-seek in the residence (Helen figured it was big enough, and there were always plenty of agents around to watch them, so it was ok to play hide-and-seek in the house).
"Are you all ready for the new baby?" Helen asked.
"We still have a few months. Josh isn't at the point of freaking out yet, so I'd say no. He only freaks out when everything's done, go figure," Donna laughed.
"The same thing happened with Matt. When I was eight months and two weeks pregnant with Peter he suddenly decided that the baby's room was not done the way he would have liked and I woke up the next morning with all the nursery furniture in the living room and Matt rearranging the things on the wall, and even debating repainting or getting wallpaper. It took me an hour to calm him down."
"That sounds exactly like Josh, except around that time he was waking up from fake labor pains. It provided much needed material to mock him and helped to make the birthing process the tiniest bit easier. I would look at him every now and then and laugh, the obstetrician thought I was nuts."
"Husbands have a tendency to do that."
"What?"
"Make you nuts." Helen and Donna laughed.
"Ma'am there's a question I wanted to ask you. I was, well, Josh and I were wondering if you would give us permission to use your name as the baby's middle name if it's a girl. Abigail Helen." The First Lady's face changed from one of shock to gratitude.
"Yes! I am so…that's so nice…thank you so much. I am so privileged that you would even think of me. I've never…that sounds great." Mrs. Santos stood up and hugged Donna. "That's the nicest thing anyone's ever asked me."
