September 4, 2005 (three days later)
Keely was in their bedroom, folding laundry, when she heard the front door slam, meaning that Phil was home. Keely's work was mainly in the mornings, sometimes going until three or so, but she always made sure she was home to fix dinner.
Phil had a long day at work, and Keely could tell as soon as she laid eyes on him. His hair was all mussed up, like he had repeatedly run his fingers through it, and his eyes looked tired. However, as soon as he saw her, he opened his arms up and brought out the smile that was reserved just for her. They met in the hallway, both ecstatic to see each other, and kissed.
Finally, Keely broke away and mumbled "Sorry, Phil, dinner won't fix itself!" before hustling off to the kitchen. Phil sighed, and then headed off to the bedroom to change clothes. So much had changed over the last four days, it seemed. Owen and Via had become parents. Today was they day they took Benjamin and Brenna home from the hospital. Phil laughed to himself as he thought of how long Keely would be on the phone tonight with Via, probably talking about babies and exchanging pregnancy tips, and how long into the pregnancy you can wear high heels and be comfortable.
Then, Phil paused. Via didn't know Keely was pregnant. Neither did Owen, or Tia, or Seth, or his co-workers, or Keely's co-workers! What were they thinking? How could they forget to tell their friends they were going to be parents? When did they not tell them? Phil rushed out of their bedroom and into the kitchen, for some odd reason panting. "Keely," he breathed, "we didn't tell anyone besides our parents you're pregnant!"
Keely was very calm about the whole deal. "I know, and I took care of it." Keely replied, then turned back to where she was putting finishing touches on two plates of spaghetti.
"Keely! You took care of it! Without telling me! When!" Phil said, putting extra emphasis on without.
"Yeah, silly! I knew that if we left you to do it, it wouldn't get done until our baby is three! So I went ahead and took care of it, about 30 minutes ago." Keely said, laughing at how much of a big deal Phil was making of this.
"Well, what'd you do?" Phil questioned her, getting antsy over what she could have done.
"Check your e-mail, Phil." Keely told him.
Phil rushed up the stairs and into the office. He whipped up his e-mail account and scrolled through about twenty messages of junk mail before stopping on one from Keely. He ferociously clicked and clicked and clicked on the e-mail file until it finally popped open. In the e-mail was a picture and a message. The message said:
Dear friends and co-workers,
I'm sure you've all seen this picture before; it was our Christmas card last year. However, make sure you look at it carefully, for we've changed since last Christmas.
Lots of Love!
Phil and Keely
P.S. Please call us when you get this; we feel it's pretty important!
The picture was, indeed, their Christmas card from last year. But, just like Keely said, it was different. Keely had been wearing a plain red top with a Christmas tree on the front, but where the tree was, a yellow and black road-sign looking thing had been pasted on top that read "BABY ON BOARD."
By then, Keely had come upstairs to see if Phil had found her little surprise yet. No sooner had she stepped in the room, Phil was running towards her and grabbing her, giving her a great kiss in the process. "Keely, you're so amazing!" He said as he smothered her in kisses. "Well, thank you." She replied, kissing him back.
Then, Keely's cell phone started ringing, followed by their home phone. Keely answered her cell, Phil took the home phone, and before he could start talking his cell phone started ringing too, as if right on cue.
Please review :)
