A little later in the backyard...
Dave came out from the kitchen. Toting a case of root-beers.
He walked up to Harry; who was in the backyard, sitting a lounge chair.
"So Harry how's it feel to be an expectant father?", Asked Dave, as he handed a root-beer to his chipmunk buddy.
Harry took off his hat and scratched his head and said," Kind of happy and scared at the same time."
He then took a swig of his drink and said,"Honestly. I was surprised as you and Christine were.
I thought I would never be a father. Especially after the severe beating I took.
Yet that night with Vinny was magical.
When we joined our hearts, a great warmth of joy came over us.
We felt young again,before the sleep took us both."
Just then Christine, Vinny, and the rest of the family left to visit Miss Miller.
Dave and Harry waved at them; while the group walked to the Miller house.
"So Dave. Do you think Christine will make you a happy man?" , asked Harry.
Dave blushed... He knew he was busted...
He meekly said, "Well I um.. Haven't had a chance to take her out alone... To anywhere special."
Harry rubbed his chin and said," I guess being a single parent does have the disadvantages.
You may want to have a little privacy. Which would be hard with my nephews walking about."
A smile formed on his face. He looked toward Dave and said," You name the day and I'll take the group out!"
Walking to the Miller house...
"Oh! My sore feet!", Vinny thought to herself.
Usually it wasn't this hard to visit her old friend. Yet expectant motherhood was tagging along.
With it came a sudden shift in her posture. Getting around would be a little difficult.
Just a few more feet; and she get there..
In the backyard..
Miss Miller dozed in her backyard gazebo.
She stirred from her rest;when a small hand squeezed hers!
She opened her eyes to see Vinny, who then said," Hi Beatrice!"
Miss Miller hugged her dear friend and noticed the bulge.
"Oh my goodness! You are in a family way!",Miss Miller said while smiling.
Vinny chuckled and said,"New little ones and new big ones too! Beatrice look at my boys!"
Miss Miller looked out into her backyard.
She saw that Alvin and his brothers were equal in size to her girls.
"Well bless my soul. I hope to see them married one day.", said Miss Miller.
Vinny smiled and said," How is it going with Christine?"
" She is like a daughter to me. I just love the girl.. I guess she feels like family to us.", said Miss Miller.
Vinny said,"That's good to know Beatri..."; and she suddenly collapsed..
"Christine! Girls! Alvin! Come quickly! Something is wrong with Vinny!" Cried Miss Miller.
Dave and Harry had just taken the luggage to the guest room, when the phone rang..
Dave got the news.. He then notified their private doctor.
Then he turned to Harry and said,"Harry. We must pick up Vinny. She's not feeling well."
A little latter..
Vinny awoke to the sound of a sphygmomanometer.
Her eyes opened up to see a familiar face.
She said, " You're the doctor who examined the Miller girls."
The doctor smiled and said," Yes it's me. Dr. Janice Karman.
I see much has developed; since last time we met."
Vinny looked around and said," Where am I?"
Christine answered," The Seville home... When you fainted. Harry and Dave carried you here."
The docter removed the strap from her arm and said," Nothing too serious.
You just have to eat and drink more!
Tomorrow we are going to schedule you for an ultrasound.
I'll tell your husband it's O.K. To see you now."
She then left the room.
Harry rushed to Vinny's side. There was a worried look upon his face.
He said,"Forgive me my love. I didn't know how delicate you really were."
He took her hand and nuzzled it with his face.
She felt the tears running down his cheeks.
She wiped his tears and said," It's alright there is nothing too serious.
I just have to remember to take care of myself a little more."
