In the guest room..
Christine ,(at the window), saw the boys going for a ride with their uncle.
"Harry is really ready to be a father. I wonder if I 'll be ready to be a wife.", she mused to herself.
She turned away from the window and saw Jeanette brushing Vinny's beautiful shoulder length hair..
Christine remembered how radiant Vinny looked on her wedding day. Now the glow of motherhood made her appear more lovely.
Brittany and Eleanor came in with her meal and drink. They made sure to feed her small amounts through out the day. This was to avoid nausea.
The girls were getting a lesson first hand of what to expect.
They pampered Vinny like a queen. Massaging her shoulders and lower back.
The girls realized the pressures that the female body goes through. The pain from the additional weight. Like swollen feet and other problems.. the need to go to the bathroom. This made the girls think about how devoted the boys will be. Then they remembered Vinny saying that the boys will be loyal. When the time comes...
A little Latter.. at the mall..
"Well boys.. You believe it's time to show your loyalty to the girls?", asked Harry.
He had to ask. Since they had been stopped in front of a jewelry display that held heart shaped lockets.
They turned and looked at their uncle with hopeful eyes. Harry felt himself set up.
He said,"I guess it's my fault for telling them about the quality of their love."
He then went to talk with the jeweler. He came back and said,"Alright boys let's write down what you wish to engrave in their lockets. Now it has to be short, but memorable."
Within an hour it was done. Each locket had a unique quote engraved inside. Now to get a small photo to for it.
The mall's photo booth, was the right place to get one. Each of the brothers styled and combed their hair. They wanted to look their best for their sweethearts.
Simon and Theodore,s photos looked great. Yet Alvin took the longest. He wanted the best face he could find.
If Simon didn't pull the plug on the booth. They would be there all day.
Latter at the Seville house..
Dave was in the kitchen. Cleaning the cook wear he used in making shrimp scampi. He could smell it cooking away." I hope Christine likes it." , he thought to himself.
It has been almost half a year. He had been wondering what could he give to Christine.
She was an extraordinary woman. Lasting this long with him and his chipmunk sons..
Just then Harry and the boys arrived.
Dave looked at his sons. How unusually neat and groomed they looked.
Dave said,"Harry. Why are they so sharp looking?
Harry cleared his throat and said,"They wish to show their loyalty to their girlfriends.
So they took pictures of themselves. To place in these lockets."
Dave saw the wonderfully designed tokens of affection.
He then said,"They are wonderful! The girls will love it!"
A smile started to form upon Dave's face. He just got an idea.
"Boys can you do me a favor?", he asked.
"What?", they replied.
"Can you hold off giving those to your girlfriends. I wish to do the same for Christine.
So I have to go to the mall now and get one for her.
Theodore can you take care of the shrimp scampi while I'm gone.", Dave said as he headed out.
The boys kept their promise. They put away their surprise gifts.
Moments later. Christine came into the kitchen.
"Dave.. Dave are you there? , she asked.
She turned to see only Theodore and Harry.
Christine said,"Harry.. You are needed upstairs... It's time..Vinny's water broke!"
The moment has come..
