One or Two Things I Know for Sure

Chapter 5 Talk

--

"There's a baby in Mommy's belly?" Annabel asked surprised, seated between her parents. Her blue eyes wide at the news as she leaned towards her mother, her little hand outstretched to touch the bump on her Mommy's stomach.

"Yes sweetie, that means that in a few months you get to be a big sister!" Allison told her daughter, her own hand reaching out to cover the little girl's plump one.

"How did baby get there?" Annabel asked, turning to look up at her father who arched a brown.

"Well, one day a few months ago when you were staying with Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Lisa, Daddy pushed Mommy against a wall and-"

"GREG!" Allison almost screamed, her cheeks blazing red. She leaned forward to hit his shoulder, and then proceeded to try to kill him with a glare.

Annabel looked between her parents, wondering exactly why her Mommy had hit her Daddy. They had always told her it wasn't nice to hit people. She stood up on the couch and hugged her Daddy, her little arms around his neck and turned to her Mommy.

"Mommy, don't hit Daddy. He's crippled" She said, her little voice accusing her mother. Greg closed his eyes and tried his best to keep from laughing, but the sight of his three- year-old daughter telling her mother that it wasn't nice to hit him was too much.

Greg hugged his daughter and sat her on his lap, laughing still as he kissed the top of her head. Allison however was still glaring at him.

"Come on that was so cute" Greg said, he smiled at his daughter who snuggled closer to him.

"You can't tell her things like that, Greg. For heaven's sake, she's three!" Allison said, trying to make her voice even. No matter how inappropriate the comment was, the sight of her daughter defending her Daddy was just utterly adorable.

"So? That doesn't mean she's stupid"

"Greg"

It amazed him sometimes how she had gotten that 'Mom' voice down.

"Okay, fine. Just take all the fun out of it" he mumbled, he turned Annabel on his lap so she would be looking directly at him.

"When a man and a woman really….like each other. They get together and they make a baby"

"But, with what? Did you drawed it?"

"No sweetheart, you see all girls have these tiny, tiny little eggs inside them that are connected to a pouch like thing called a uterus. Boys have something called sperm. When they meet together inside Mommy's belly, they form a baby. Then the baby sleeps and get's big for a few months inside the uterus." Allison explained as she reached over to tuck a strand of Annabel's curly light brown hair behind her ear.

"Why does it stay in there?" Annabel asked pointing to Allison's rounded stomach.

"Cause they are too little to stay outside at first" her mother answered with a smile.

"How did the perm get there?"

"Wanna take over this Dad?" Allison asked, seeing her husband almost shocked face.

"The Mommy and Daddy have sex" Greg said almost uncomfortably, should he be saying this to a three-year-old who can't keep her mouth shut?

"What's sex?"

Greg sighed loudly; he kissed his daughter's cheek and stood her up in his lap so they would be at eye level.

"Baby, why don't you go color and we'll talk about this when you're… forty?"

Annabel looked thoughtful for a moment, before she grinned and asked if they could go out of ice-cream instead.

"You're daughter is too nosy" Greg said as they watched Annabel run to her room and grab her teddy.

"Oh no, that's all your genes honey" Allison said before letting out a soft laugh.
