Chapter 4

As night fell, the fireplace crackled with its warmth. The Gazette members gathered around it and ate gratefully. George Washington, the cat, fell asleep in Sarah's lap. James stroked him, and the gray tabby purred contently.

The silence broke when Moses opened his mouth to speak. "Dr. Franklin says congratulations, Sarah."

Sarah smiled.

James pretended to groan. "Sarah," he said, "we already have two babies in the family. Why do we need another?" James gestured to the cat and Henri. Sarah nudged him but laughed.

Everyone retired to bed soon after.

The next day the Gazette went back to business. The lever was replaced, and just in time too. It was a Sunday, the day when most people read the paper. Sarah prepared breakfast: bacon, eggs, and toast. After prayers, everyone got back to work. Henri was working on the newspaper with James, Moses was out handling the sales, Lisette was running errands, and Sarah was up in her bedroom sleeping.

The morning came and left quickly, and afternoon arrived. Dinner was served, and Sarah went back upstairs.

Soon after, Sarah came back down. "Where is Lisette?" Her eyes scanned the room.

Moses, who was back from the outside, replied, "Off to market. We're out of salt. I'm sure she'll return soon."

The door opened. "I'm back!" said a panting Lisette. "What do you need, Sarah?" When Sarah waved her over, she nodded.

Sarah turned to look at the rest of the Gazette."You can come too," she said. "It's nothing private." When everyone (Except Moses) followed her, she smiled and walked up the stairs.

Heya Guys! Shout-out to the people who reviewed my story! Thanks for taking your time to make my day a lot better. I really appreciate it. Sorry that I can't post stuff too often; between my other book and school there's not really a lot of time in between. I guess I post a lot more frequently, but everything is different on WordBird time; often means every 5 hours...

Anyway, forgive my constant rambling. Thank you! I promise to post soon due to this short chapter.
