A/N- Nothing much to say today. Thanks, as always, for reading and reviewing. You make me smile more when you do.
What are We Going to Name It? Chapter 2
Iggy POV
The next morning I woke up before Ella. I kissed her on the forehead again and slipped out of bed to make breakfast. While I was making the food I replayed my conversation with Dr. M. last night on the phone. It went like this:
"Hello." She answered with an air of professionalism.
"Hey, Dr. M, it's Iggy."
"Oh, what a nice surprise. How are you and Ella doing?"
"We're fine, great actually."
"That's nice to hear. Is there anything new going on in your lives?"
"Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. We have something important to tell you, but we'd like to tell you in person. When would be a good time to come over?"
"Hmm, let's see here, well I don't have to work tomorrow, so how about you two come over for lunch?"
"Yeah, I think we can do that."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot."
"Is this thing you're going to tell me good or bad news?"
"Oh, believe me, it's very good news."
"Okay. Just wanted to make sure, you still never know these days."
"I know what you mean. Well, we'll see you tomorrow. Bye."
"Bye, Iggy. Tell Ella I love her."
"Will do." And then I hung up the phone.
By the time I finished replaying the conversation the food was done. Then I heard Ella upstairs in the bathroom throwing up. I rushed up to find out what was going on.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I got there.
"Yeah," Ella said in a sickly voice, "It's just morning sickness I think." Then she started throwing up again. I helped hold her hair back. It reminded me about a party we went to once, but that's another story.
"Thanks." Ella said when she was done.
"I take it you probably don't want breakfast then?" I asked.
"Maybe just some water and some saltines."
"I'll go see if we have some."
Ella POV
I'm so glad it's Saturday so I don't have to go to work. That reminds me, I'm going to have to take maternity leave in a couple months, get a long term substitute, and tell my students what's going on. I can worry about that stuff later. When I got down to the kitchen I saw a plate full of saltine crackers in the shape of a heart. Next to it was a glass of water.
"How do you do it?"
"What, the crackers?"
"No, how do you know how to do the exact thing that will cheer me up all the time?"
"Well, that's an easy one. It's because I love so much. It makes me want to do things to cheer you up."
I walked toward him and gave him a huge hug. "Well, I like doing things to cheer you up too."
"And you do a great job of it every day. Now, you should try to eat. You don't want your mother to worry I'm not feeding you enough." He's still has his great sense of humor.
I ate what I could, but it wasn't much. After breakfast we decided to call the rest of the Flock and invite them to our house for dinner Monday. Since Max is my sister it was my job to call her and Fang. I picked up the phone a dialed their number.
"Hello, Ride residence, Max speaking."
"Hey Max, it's me Ella."
"Oh, Hi Ella. How are you doing?
"I'm good. How are you and Fang?"
"Well I just started going back to work, and Fang is working on another book."
"Is it another romance novel?"
"No, actually he's switching it up, it's a murder mystery book."
"That's funny, that is exactly what Iggy said he should write next. Have any your students tried to take you on thinking you would be rusty?" Max is a karate teacher, so that question makes sense.
"Well, one of my new students tried to. His name is Jack, took him down in two moves."
"Two? You are getting rusty."
"Hey, I didn't say I was 100% yet."
"How's Cole coming along?"
"Well, he's going to be three in a few weeks. His wings are finally gaining some color. They look like they're going to be brown toward the top and black towards the bottom. It's still going to be a few years until he can fly though."
"Does he have any special powers?"
"I'm thinking he's getting both mine and Fang's powers. I swear he's disappeared a few times on me and yesterday when I was giving him a bath I saw gills, and like I said, we're going to have to wait to see if he has super flying speed."
"Hey, at least he can't read your mind."
"Yeah, that's all I need to happen. You know we kinda got off topic, what did you want to talk about?"
"Well, Iggy and I were inviting everyone to dinner Monday and we wanted to see if you could make it."
"Monday sounds good. What time?"
"Oh about sixish."
"We'll be there. See you then, bye."
"Bye, Max. Tell Fang we say hi." I hung up the phone.
I went over to where Iggy was sitting.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, but you're never going to believe what Gazzy just told me."
A/N- Can you guess what Gazzy told him? 214 days until Nevermore.
