"Morning Will." Michael said.
"Morning Michael. Is Jack here yet?"
"No."
"When will he be here?"
"In 3…2…1…"
They waited.
"I don't think you counting's quite on." Will said laughing.
"Haha very funny."
Then they heard arguing.
"All I ask is just a few hours."
"I don't have the time."
The shop door opened, and in walked Jack, Vannesa, and Josh.
"You don't have the time? I don't have the time. I have to work, do the housework, go to the market, watch Josh, and balance our lives. All you do is sit around and watch Michael, and Will."
"So?"
"All I ask is for just a few hours for you to watch Josh."
"But Vannesa…"
"No buts. Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way."
"Fine!"
"Well good morning to you too." Will said.
"Sorry." Vannesa said.
"It's ok."
"Um Will has Clarésse come by yet?"
"No. Why?"
"I can't start her appointment without her."
"What?"
"Yeah. What?" Michael said.
"We thought that it would be good to have the appointments at the same place."
"Buy why is Clarésse having one?"
"Because she isn't feeling good. Now I've got to…"
"Sorry I'm late." Clarésse said coming through the door.
"No problem."
The girls went in the house.
"What was that argument about back there?" Michael asked.
Jack motioned his head toward Josh.
"Oh."
"Jack what's so wrong about having about having a kid?"
"I don't know. It's just I'm not ready I guess."
"Then why do you have one?" Michael asked.
Will elbowed him.
"Oh yeah, the whole not planned thing."
"Yeah."
"Hey you should be happy. Elizabeth and I want to settled down and have a family."
"It's to bad you can't."
"Yeah. What? Why not?"
"Well you being a eunuch and everything."
"Not a eunuch!"
"Who are you kidding? You so are."
"Are not."
"Are too."
Will and Jack fought like that for a while.
Michael just shrugged and went to work.
A little while later the girls came in. And walked over to Michael.
"How long have they been like that?" Elizabeth asked.
"About an hour."
"I'm going in."
"Be careful." Vannesa joked.
Elizabeth smiled. Then her face turned into a serious expression.
Will was unaware that Elizabeth was about to give him one of the biggest shocks of his life.
What's the thing Elizabeth's going to tell Will? What's Clarésse going to tell Michael? And when does the story really begin? Find out next time.
