Chapter 8
'Surprise'
Their plane landed in Sitka and they looked out the window to see everyone there holding signs of 'Welcome Home' and 'Congratulations'. Margaret and Andrew both smiled.
"Well we are here now and looks like the family has gathered to see us land."
"I just hope they recognize me. They haven't seen me since I was not pregnant, and now I'm 8 months and fixing to pop."
Andrew laughed. "Honey you are not going to pop do not worry about that." He took her hand and together they stepped off the plane. The whole family yelled for them.
"Hey guys! Gammy… mom!" He rushed over and hugged them. Margaret stood there for a second and smiled.
"Margaret, come here." Grace looked at her, didn't want her to feel left out.
"Look at you, all sticking out and shining." Gammy hugged Margaret and then touched her very swollen belly. "Little Andy Junior this is your gammy speaking and we are thrilled to have you." Andrew and Margaret both smiled. The baby kicked and Gammy got excited. "He kicked! He likes me…"
"Oh Gammy of course he likes you. He's your great grandson."
They drove to the dock and then rode in the boat over to their home.
"Mom? What is with all the decorations? What is this?" Andrew said as they walked up to the house.
"Just a little something for the both of you." They opened the door and went inside the house.
"Surprise!" Everyone screamed. It was a surprise baby shower for them. Both Andrew and Margaret were surprised.
"A baby shower… oh wow. Thank you mom." Margaret said with a smile on her face.
They tossed their luggage aside and decided to enjoy the party. They began with the gifts.
"Oh its beautiful." Margaret revealed a blue pajama set. Andrew sat it on her swollen belly.
"Awe a perfect fit." They laughed and then opened another one. "Mom…you and dad shouldn't have gotten this for us. We were going to get it." It was the crib they had been looking into getting for months, and it was beautiful and wooden.
Tears filled Margaret's eyes. She was so happy to have them as family and to see all the lovely gifts they had received made her feel special. "Thank you so much, thank you all for everything."
Later that evening they were talking upstairs…
"So when are we going to tell them?"
"Tell them what?"
"You know, about the 'thing'"
"Oh right. Christmas. I want it to be a surprise."
They laid on the bed and continued talking about the big surprise they had planned.
"I hope they approve."
"I'm sure they will."
