Out in the Hallway...
Christine had just left the guest room.
She thought it best to let Harry and Vinny comfort each other. She went down the hall to the stairs.
At the bottom of the flight Dave discussed Vinny's health with Dr. Karman.
She said,"I examined her and checked for two possible causes of her fainting spell.
I took some blood samples, which will be given some test. Then I checked her blood pressure.
I found no abnormalities.
So we can rule out the more serious condition known as Preeclampsia.
I am certain she has Anemia... Which is caused by pregnancy."
Dave said,"What can we do?"
The doctor said,"Feed her well. Give her fish, enriched bread, & leafy greens."
Christine excused herself as she walked by.
She walked to the living room where Miss Miller and the rest of the family waited.
The group was somber.
The only one who was most affected was Theodore.
He was weeping in Eleanor's arms.
It was he, who first saw his mom laying motionless on the gazebo floor.
She wouldn't wake up.
Christine sat next to them and said in a soft voice,"Theodore your mom is fine now."
He turned to see Christine. His special angel...
He ran to her, for news of his mother.
"Is she awake?",he asked.
"Yes , but she is a little weak.", answered Christine.
The rest of the group was relieved at this news.
Christine hugged Theodore and said," Your mom has to eat a lot more than she usually does.
So Theodore... You and Eleanor have to feed her plenty of fish, greens, cheese, and breads."
Theodore kissed Christine's cheek. Then he walked over to Eleanor and said,"Will you help me cook for my mom?"
Eleanor said," With pleasure."
The two then walked to the kitchen.
"You handled that well big sister.", said Jeanette as she hugged Christine.
Meanwhile in the guestroom...
Harry saw to Vinny's comfort. After bathing her; he dressed her in loose fitting silk pajamas.
Harry fluffed additional pillows, which he placed on the bed for her.
She hugged his neck as he gently placed her on top.
Harry then said,"It's O.K. To let go dear."
Vinny smiled and said,Who says I want to let go."
Harry felt himself pulled down to Vinny's lips.
"Ah! The price of husband-ly duties!", Harry thought to himself.
Dave opened the door.
He was about to say something, but blushed and left quietly.
A bit embarrassed, after what he saw going on., he went downstairs to the living room.
He went expecting a sad family, but found Simon and Jeanette straightening out the place.
In the kitchen he heard the business of Theodore and Eleanor.
In the back yard... Alvin mowed the lawn, while Brittany helped Miss Miller pick flowers for Vinny.
Dave was dumbfounded.
Everything he planned to have assigned; was being done.
" David you look like you could use a drink.", said Christine as she handed him a glass of iced tea.
"What did you tell them?", asked Dave.
"Christine smiled and said, "That their mom was doing better and she would need Tender Loving Care.
So they thought they could ready the place up for the babies arrival."
"So where does that leave me?", asked Dave.
"Hopefully... Free to take me out on a lunch date.
I haven't had a thing to eat, since Vinny passed out.", Christine said with a meek smile.
Dave nodded his head. He would leave the mommy sitting to his boys and their girlfriends.
Everything was in good hands.
He said,"Come Christine. There's a Chinese resturant that I've been wishing to take you to."
She smiled and said "I would like that."
