Chapter 22: Cammie and Keith's News
April 10, 2003
12:30pm
It was the day before Easter and Kevin and I were dying Easter eggs in our kitchen along with Cammie, Keith, Gloria, Danny, Paige, Sarah and Aaron. The kids were pretty good with not getting the dye on their clothes but us adults were a different story.
"Hey Keith hand me the purple dye please," I said as Keith handed me the purple dye but ended up spilling a little on my clothes.
"Oops sorry Vi," Keith said as I splashed a little dye his way.
"Aunt Vi, the dye goes on the eggs not on people," Paige said as Sarah agreed with her.
"Thanks for reminding me Miss Paige," I said saluting her. She rolled her eyes at me.
"Oh Aaron that's a nice picture you drew on that egg," Gloria said to him.
"Thank you Mama. This is for the baby...oops," Aaron said as we all looked at him then at Gloria and Danny.
"Okay...you guys weren't supposed to find out that way," Gloria said.
"They know Gloria might as well tell them now," Danny said.
"Okay fine, we're going to have another baby, it's due in November," Gloria said. Cammie and I squealed and ran to hug Gloria and Kevin and Keith slapped Danny on the back and shook his hand.
"While we're all in a good mood and in the midst of good news Keith and I want to share some of our own," Cammie said.
I kept on thinking to myself, please don't let it be that Cammie is pregnant.
"Keith and I are going to live together!" Cammie said. Gloria and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Well congratulations you guys. Who's going to move in where?" Kevin asked.
"Sarah and I are going to move into Keith's apartment temporarily while Keith and I wait for a three bedroom apartment in the same building so the girls can each have their own bedroom," Cammie said.
"Wow that's great. When are you guys moving in?" I asked.
"In a few weeks. We wanted to get the girls used to being together first before moving them into the same room," Cammie said.
"Good. Paige, how do you feel about this?" I asked her.
"Okay I guess. I always wanted a little sister," Paige said giving Sarah a hug. Sarah gave her a kiss on the cheek. Aaron stuck out his tongue. Everyone laughed.
Suddenly I felt a wave of nausea come over me. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. A few minutes later Kevin came in and held my hair back.
"I think you need to see the doctor, Vi. You've been sick for three days now," Kevin said.
"It's probably the stomach flu. I just don't want to give my hopes up that's all," I said.
"I'll run to the store and get a pregnancy test after everyone leaves okay?"
"Okay, thank you," I said as I cleaned myself up and went back to the kitchen.
A couple of hours later I was in the bathroom staring at the pregnancy test in my hand. I sighed as I removed the test from the wrapper, sat down on the toilet and did the test.
I sat on the edge of the bathtub and waited the three minutes. After the three minutes were up I closed my eyes, picked up the test in my hands, held it in front of me and opened my eyes.
Just as I thought, it was negative. I just had a stomach virus. Oh well, there's always next time.
