Chapter twenty-three
"Merry, Christmas, guys!" Marty said.
"Merry Christmas!" The other said.
Everyone started passing presents.
Dea gave a present to Eddy.
"You are going to like it." Dea said.
Eddy opened the present.
It was a jawbreaker.
"These are sugar free jawbreakers." Dea explained.
"They have them at the candy store."
Eddy was now slurping the jawbreaker.
"Mmm…I haven't had one of these since god knows when!" Eddy said.
Everyone laughed.
"Marty, here's something for you." Double Dee said.
Marty opened the present.
It was a golden locket.
Marty opened it, and there was a picture of her and Double Dee standing in the lane three months ago.
"Thank you." Marty said.
She flew to Double Dee and French kissed him.
Who says that ghosts can't be great kissers?
Ed gave a present to Amy.
"Thanks, Ed." Amy said.
She opened it.
It was a bucket of gravy.
"Cool! Thanks!"
"You're welcome!" Ed said.
Amy gave a present to Ed.
Ed got buttered toast.
"Yummy!" Ed said.
He ate the whole thing.
Marty gave a present to Double Dee.
It was a telescope.
"Thanks, Marty! How did you get this?"
"Well, let's just say that I can get neat things now that I'm a ghost." Marty replied.
She winked at the audience.
Eddy gave a present to Dea.
It was a diary.
"Thanks. I like it." Dea said.
It was 2:00, and it was time for a Christmas dinner.
They had ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy, rolls, and sprouts.
After they finished with their dinner, they got out a birthday cake for desert.
You know, for Ed's birthday.
Ed blew out all the candles, and ate the cake.
"Ed!" Eddy said.
"I love cake, guys." Ed said.
His face was covered in cake.
It was a Christmas night.
Everyone was sitting by the fireplace.
They were very warm.
It was 10:30, and everyone was asleep.
Everyone woke up at 9:00AM.
Eddy was reading about women being pregnant.
"Hey, do you guys know that if a mother loses weight after her pregnancy, she would lose her milk?"
"Eddy, we're eating." Marty said.
"Also, when a woman's water broke, they lose their mucus plug."
Everyone's mouth dropped open.
Marty spilled cheerios on the floor.
"I'm done." Amy said.
"Me too." Double Dee said.
Dea woke up, and went into the kitchen.
Her hair was wild!
Everyone stared at Dea.
"Damn." Eddy said.
Dea glared at Eddy.
"And I meant that in a good way." Eddy said.
Dea chased Eddy all over the house.
Everyone noticed that Dea's stomach is really big.
On December 27, it was official.
She was nine months pregnant.
They even celebrated by giving Dea food.
To BBQ chicken wings, to coleslaw, to biscuits, to chicken, to cheese, to chicken, to cake, to meat, this happens to be chicken, and M and M's.
Did I mention that she ate chicken?
She ate 'em all.
Four days later, It was Ed's birthday.
It was December 31st.
It was New Year's Eve.
Marty bought the cake.
Okay, she didn't pay for the cake.
She's sort of…well…stole it.
Well, at least know one saw her, right?
Everyone was at the table.
After everyone sang Ed Happy Birthday, everyone ate the cake.
After Dea took one bite of her cake, she stopped.
Quickly, she ran to the bathroom, throwing up.
Eddy knocked on the bathroom door.
"Dea, is everything okay?" Eddy asked.
Eddy heard the toilet flushed.
Dea stepped out of the bathroom.
"Eddy…it's time." Dea said.
Eddy gasped.
This is it, Folks! Please R&R!
