Chapter Three

New Pregnancies Always Bring New Changes

Sarah picked up Nolan out of the basinet that was sitting in the living room. She tried to stop his crying by rocking him but that didn't work so she sat down on the couch and started to feed him. She was in the middle of feeding him when the phone rang, Sarah didn't want to move because she was afraid that she would keep Nolan from going to sleep. She let the machine pick it up and when it did she could hear the familiar voice of her brother en-law's wife.

"Hey Matt and Sarah, its Kate. We're having the whole family over tomorrow to tell them some great news that Simon and I have. Simon and I agreed we would tell you guys and Mary and Carlos before we told everyone else because we're not telling you in person. So here it goes, Simon and I are having quadruplets. We're going to be having…" the message had stopped playing because Sarah picked up the phone.

"Oh my gosh, Kate!" Sarah exclaimed into the phone.

"Hi? Sarah?" Kate said.

"Yeah. That is some really great news. I am so happy for you. Congratulations!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Thank you!" Kate said and then a couple of seconds later Kate said, "Did I wake up you or one of your kids or did you just walk in the door?"

"No, I was feeding Nolan. I didn't want to move and keep him from falling asleep. I just let the machine pick it up. But, when I heard your message I had to talk to you," Sarah explained.

"Oh," Kate said.

"Kate, I'd talk longer but I have to go. I want to finish feeding Nolan and get him back to sleep before Zack wakes up."

"Okay," Kate said.

"Congratulations! Bye!"

"Thank you! Bye!" Then both Sarah and Kate hung up the phone. Sarah continued to feed her son. When he was done she re-buttoned her shirt and laid him in the bassinet that was sitting in the middle of the living room. A couple of seconds later Sarah heard Zack waking up in his crib and she went upstairs to get him.

"Dear God, please give my mommy another baby. I know that we have a pretty big family already but I want a sister. I don't like having so many boys and so little girls. So pleas God, give my mommy another baby, and make it a girl." As Lizzy prayed to God she knelt by her bed. When she was done she got into bed and pulled the covers up to her chin.

Lucy, who was standing outside Lizzy's door listened to everything that her daughter was saying. "Well, she is going to have her prayers answered. And sooner than she thinks." Lucy sighed and then she went into her and Kevin's room; where she found Kevin lying on the bed reading.

"Um...Kevin we need to talk," Lucy said as fear flowed through her body.

"Sure," Kevin said and he looked up from his book. Seeing that Lucy looked really worried about something he added, "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. Well, I went to the doctor the other day..."

"Daddy, what time is everybody coming over?" Alex asked Simon.

"About five-thirty," Simon explained. Then Simon went into the bathroom to find his wife throwing up. Simon put some water on a wash cloth and then tied back her hair. "Are you okay?" Simon asked. "Do you still want to have company over tonight?"

"Yah, I'm fine," Faith said and she stood up and sat on the toilet. Simon handed her the wash cloth and then she said, "I think that I'm finally done throwing up. I've puking my brains out for the past three hours so I think I'm done."

"Okay," Simon said. "We're making spaghetti and meatballs tonight, right?"

"Yup," Faith said. "I'll go start making it."

"Why don't you go and take a nap? Billy and I will make dinner," Simon offered. He kissed his wife's cheek and then she went into her bedroom. Before she left the bathroom, she said, "thank you for everything. I love you."

"Kids, your father and I have something to tell you," Lucy said. All five kids were sitting in the living room staring up at Lucy and Kevin.

"What is it?" Luke asked.

"Well…we're having another baby. In a couple of months you guys are going to have another brother or sister," Kevin explained.

"Yes!" Lizzy yelled as she pumped her fist into the air. "My prayers answered. God listened. Now all he has to do is give me a little sister. I am so happy!" Then Lizzy hugged her parents. "Thank you!" Then all four boys came up and hugged their parents, all with big smiles on their faces.

"Yah! Brooder or sister," Caleb said and clapped his hands after Kevin picked him up.

"Yes, its very good," Kevin said and he kissed his son's cheek.

At five-thirty everything was ready and the whole family started to arrive. The kids went into the basement where they could play and the adults went into the living room.

At six o'clock dinner was ready and everybody went into the dining room. The kids immediately sat at the table that was in the corner of the room, they knew where to sit because it was the same at every family party. The adults sat at the dining room table and then food immediately started to get served.

In the middle of dinner Faith and Simon both stood up. "We have something to tell you," Simon stated.

"We went to the doctor about a month ago. He gave us some great news," Kate beamed.

"We found out that Kate's having quadruplets. In a couple of months we are going to have four babies," Simon exclaimed.

"Then a couple of days ago we went to the doctor again. We wanted to find out the genders of the babies. We're having two boys and two girls!" Faith exclaimed.

"That's greats" and "Congratulations" were uttered from everyone's mouths as they hugged Simon and Faith.

"That's really amazing," Ruthie said once everyone sat back down.

"Yeah, I'm five months pregnant with quadruplets. I mean I was bigger than normal but I thought it was just because I was having twins. I didn't even question it. Well, I'm going to be getting much bigger than this," Kate said and she patted her stomach. Everybody talked all through dinner and then dessert was served.

"Kevin and I have something to tell you guys," Lucy said and she and Kevin stood up. "We…we're having another baby. I am three months pregnant."

"Lucy's pregnant with number six," Kevin added.

"Congratulations!" everyone exclaimed.

"Wow! Our family is growing so fast. Mary is pregnant, Lucy is pregnant, Kate's pregnant and Sarah just had a baby. This is so great!" Annie exclaimed. Everybody finished dessert and then they went into the living room.

"Wait come here Caleb," Lucy said. Caleb turned around and Lucy could see that his face and hands were covered in chocolate ice cream. "Lets clean of your hands and face."

"No," Caleb yelled and he tried to run away. Lucy grabbed her youngest son and carried him over to the kitchen sink. She washed off Caleb's hands as he screamed at the top of his lungs. Lucy sat him on the counter and then used a wet paper towel to clean of his face and then she set him on the floor. Lucy made sure that he got downstairs alright and then she started to help Kate clean up from dinner.

"I don't know how you do it," Kate said. "You have five kids and one on the way. You work, take care of your kids, and you still find time to do the things that you like to do. You're like the perfect mother. I could never be like that."

"Kate, first of all I'm not the perfect mother, I loose my temper sometimes just like everyone else. Secondly you are a great mother to Alex and you're going to love the four new babies and that's what will make you a great mother. Those kids are going to have great lives."

"Luce, I'm scared. Having four newborns is going to be really hard. I don't think that I can do it.

"Kate, you can do it. You have to for those babies. God gave you them for a reason. I mean having twins in the house was hard in the beginning but Kevin and I got used to it and you'll get used to having quadruplets. Besides, Simon will be there to help and I'll even come over to help. I'm not going to tell you that it's not going to be overwhelming sometimes or that you're not going to be tired a lot. But I will tell you that you will have a great time with these kids. You'll love seeing these kids grow up together. Seeing how they grow together and apart will be like a miracle for you. You'll see their differences and similarities and that will make you smile, no matter what the circumstances. You have reason to be scared; I was petrified when I found out that I was having twins, but you shouldn't only think about the bad things that could happen. You have to think about the great things that will happen," Lucy explained.

"Thanks Lucy. That helped a lot," Kate said and the two of them hugged. A couple of seconds later Lizzy came up from the basement.

"I'm sick of so many boys!" Lizzy exclaimed and she threw her hands up in the air. Then Lizzy sat down at the table and let out and exasperated sigh. Lizzy and Kate turned around so that they were facing Lizzy and they both stifled a laugh.

"What are they doing to you?" Kate asked.

"Nothing. I'm just sick of them," Lizzy explained. A couple of seconds later Lizzy said, "Mommy is there a boy or a girl in your tummy?"

"I don't know," Lucy said. "I won't know until the baby is born."

"Oh," Lizzy said quickly. She thought for a second and then said, "Well, then how do Aunt Kate and Uncle Simon know that they are having two girls and two boys?"

"Well, if daddy and I want we can have the doctor take a picture of the baby. Then the doctor can tell us if we're having a girl or a boy," Lucy explained.

"Oh," Lizzy said. Then she got up from the table and skipped into the living room.

"I hope that, for Lizzy's sake I'm having a girl," Lucy said. "She doesn't like having so many brothers. The other night I heard her praying that God would give me a baby and that he make sure it was a girl."

"Aw that is so cute," Kate said.

"Yeah," Lucy said. "That's Lizzy for you she'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. She reminds me very much of Simon. When my mom was pregnant with the twins Simon prayed for weeks that the twins would be boys. He was very happy when they were."

"I see that you're talking about me," Simon said, startling both women.

"That we are," Lucy said.

"You were such a cute little kids," Kate mocked her husband and she pinched his cheek.

"Oh, but you knew that already," Simon said. "I was wondering where you guys were."

"Oh we were just talking and cleaning up from dinner," Kate explained."

"Ah, talking, the favorite past time of women," Simon joked. "Why don't you guys go into the living room? I'll finish cleaning up from dinner."

"Well, we just finished," Lucy said. "So why don't we all go into the living room." They all left the kitchen and went into the living room were everybody was talking and having a good time.

At about nine-thirty everybody went home. Kate put Alex to bed and then she went into the kitchen. She found Simon sitting at the table and she sat next to him. "We need to talk," Kate declared after she sat down.

"Okay, what's up?" Simon asked.

"Well this house is too small. We only have three bed rooms and we'll never be able to fit four cribs into any of them. I was thinking that we could move to a bigger house, maybe one in Glen Oak," Kate explained.

"Yeah, I was thinking that too," Simon said. "We have to move really soon though. It's either that or we could move after the babies are born."

"No, we should move before they're born. It's going to be way too hard to move with four babies. How about we start looking for houses tomorrow? The doctor said that I will be going on bed rest in my sixth month and I'm already almost four months along so we have to move really soon," Kate said.

"Okay," Simon said. "So do we want to put all the knew babies in the same room? Or do we want to put the girls together and the boys together?"

"I don't know. I guess that's something to think about," Kate said. Then Simon stood up and turned on the music. He lowered the volume so he wouldn't wake up Alex.

"May I have this dance?" Simon asked with his hand out in front of him.

"Yes you may," Kate said and she took her husband's hand. She stood and Kate and Simon danced in the middle of the kitchen as the moon light poured in from the window, Kate's growing belly making them a little farther apart then usual.
