The Addams Family

Chapter 3: The New Life

Who knew a baby could be this much work. It's like, everytime I or Gomez puts her dow she starts crying.

"I don't know what she wants!" Gomez practicaly screamed (It's hard to hear him with Wednesday screaming every minuet).

"Let me see her." I said holding my arms out.

I put her paccifire in her mouth and she still cried.

"Maybe she's hungry! I'll get her a bottle!" Gomez said, then he ran down the stairs.

"Hush, Wednesday. Fathers getting you a bottle." I said, trying to clam her down.

The Gomez came in with her bottle I begin to feed Wedesday. That's exactly what she wanted.

"Ah, finally. Quiet. This is going to be harder than we thought, Tish. She's only 10 hours old!" Gomez said.

"Yes, but, Gomez. She's helpless right now. Look at her." I said.

He looked at her and she gazes up at us.

"Here, darling. You hold her while I get her blanket." I say and walk over to her crib.

"Do you think she'll have any brothers or sisters?" Gomez asked.

"Are you saying... Gomez, I just had a baby 10 hours ago! No more untill she's at least 12 months or older." I said, bringing her blanket to her.

"I wasn't saying 'Do you want to have another baby now.' I was wondering if you think she'll ever have a little brother or sister to play with." Gomez said.

"Well... yes, I suppose." I said.

We then put Wednesday on our bed. Then we both laid down next to her, in hope of all three of us to get a nap. We ended up falling asleep for two minuets, then Wednesday woke us up again. So, Gomez got up and changed her. He put her next to me and she fell asleep 2 minuets later.

"She looks so peaceful." I said.

"Yes. Well, most of the time..." He began.

"Gomez... don't even think about it." I said, smirking.

"Sorry, my dear. I tend to get carried away." He said.

"Wednesday can be torture, but she's an Addams. We're all that way sometimes." I said.

"How true, Querida. How true. If you two excuse me, I'm going to look into something in the library." Gomez said walking out and shutting the door.

When he shut the door, Wednesday woke up and started crying.

"Come here, darling. Do you want to go see father?" I asked, picking her up.

She stopped crying, so that I guess is yes. I take her downstairs to find Gomez. Then Mama says she and Fester are going on a vacation to get away from the baby's screaming. We went into the library to see Gomez.

"Someone wants to see you, darling." I said.

"Oh, did someone wake up?" he said, taking Wednesday.

"Yes. Look, she actually isn't crying." I said, smileing.

"Ahh. Can I show her what I do with the trains?" he asked.

"Of course." I said, taking Wednesday.

He showed her how he blows up the trains and she beamed at the wreak.

"Oh, she loved it!" I exclaimed.

"Of course she did! She's an Addams, is she not?" Gomez said.

"Of course." I said.

Then Wednesday yawned and fell asleep in my arms.

"Something tells me it's time for bed." I said.

We went into our room and put Wednesday in her crib.

"What do we do now?" Gomez asked.

"We go to bed before Wednesday wakes up again." I said.

It seemed as if when we went to bed, we fell asleep 2 seconds later. Life with a newborn is like love and tourture.
