Chapter 8: A Second Addition
Morticia's POV
I'm officially 9 months pregnant. Wednesday is actually taking it well. My mother said my sister didn't take it well when I was born. Mama is in the cemetary talking with ancestors. Lurch is cleaning the kitchen. Gomez and Uncle Fester are out getting some dynamite. I'm sitting here in the living room with Wednesday, watching her play with her toys.
"When the baby be here, mommy?" she asked.
"It's due in 3 weeks. But the baby could come now, later or in 2 or 3 weeks." I said.
Just then, Wdnesday's ball rolled into the conservatory. Just as I was about to get up and get it for her, she got up.
"I get it, mommy!" she said runnning into the conservatory.
Soon, she came back with plant slobber on the ball.
"Ceopatra tried to eat my ball!" she tattled.
I laugh. I love the way she says Cleopatra. Everything she does is cute. Just then the clock goes off saying it's 1:00PM.
"Naptime, mommy!" Wednesday said.
"Ok. Help mommy up." I said holding my arm out.
"Ok. Up mommy go." she said.
She helps me up, and we go upstairs, Wednesday with me every step. We get to mine and Gomez's room and I sit on the bed. She gets a nightgown out of her dresser and brings it to me.
"Did you go to the bathroom?" I ask her.
"No... I go now." she said, running out of the room.
All of a sudden, my water breaks. I grab the bed post and I begin to cry tears of pain. Soon Wednesday comes back.
"All... Mommy!" she said running up to me.
"What wrong?" she asked, her eyes tearing up.
"Mommy's... having... the baby." I say in between breaths.
Wednesday begins to cry and asks, "Mommy hurt?"
"N... Ahh!" I said.
Wednesday begins bawling.
"I'll... be... alright... Wednesday. Don't... cry." I say.
Just then phone rang. I try to get up, but I can't move.
"I... get... it... mommy!" Wednesday says between sobs.
She walks over and gets the phone...
Wednesday's POV
Mommy's gonna have my baby bwother or sister soon! I got to talk to someone on the phone, but I can't top cryin! I walk over and pick up the phone.
"Hewo? This is... Wednday... Addams... speaking." I say cryin really hard.
"Wednesday? It's daddy." daddy says on another phone.
"Daddy... get home... now! Mommy... cryin... she says... water broken... baby... comein... now!" I say, but Daddy no undertand me.
"What about mommy and the baby?" daddy asked.
"Baby comeing now! Mommy water broken." I say.
"Oh my god! Okay, Wednesday. Everything will be alright! I'll be home soon!" Daddy says.
"Ok, daddy. I love you." I say.
"I love you too, my Angel of Darkness." daddy says then he hangs up.
I hang up and sit next to mommy. I hold my hand out to her.
"Everting be ok, mommy. Daddy coming home." I say.
She smiles (or trys to at least), takes my hand and then squeezes it a little...
Morticia's POV
Ok. The baby's coming now. Gomez is on his way. Wednesday is crying her eyes out. I wish we could get this thing over with now. I scream and then suddenly Gomez runs in the room and packs the bag for the hospital.
"Let's go!" he says.
"I get bag, daddy!" Wednesday says dragging it across the room.
Gomez picks me up, and we are soon in the car. Gomez driving like a maniac.
"Slow down, daddy! Slow down!" Wednesday cried.
"Wednesday, you're mommy's having the baby now. We have to get there before rush hour." he says.
"JUST SLOW DOWN! I DON'T WANT ANY OF US KILLED!" I scream.
"Alright! Alright! Calm down, Tish!" He says.
About 5 minuets later, we are in rush hour.
"Oh, god. I knew this would happen." Gomez says, laying his head on the wheel.
"Think of unhappy tings, daddy!" Wednesday says.
"That's not a bad idea, darling." I say to her.
"What are things you don't like, princess?" Gomez asks her.
"Puppy dogs with droopy faces, unicorns with dancing mice, sunrise in wide open spaces, Disney world I wouldn't go there twice, butterflies and picnic lunches, bunches of chrysanthemums, lollipops and pillow fights, and Christmas eve - sugar plums! String quartets and chia pets and afternoon banana splits, angels watching as I sleep and Liberace's greatest hits!" She sang.
I don't blame her. Suddenly, the worst contraction hits me and I cry out in pain.
"It ok, mommy." Wednesday says patting my shoulder.
What else could go wrong today. About an hour later, traffic begins moving, and I begin to feel lots of pressure in my stomach.
"Gomez. This is it. It's coming now. And I mean now." I said.
"Ok. Relax and try not to do anything." Gomez said.
"It's getting worse!" I said, clinching my hands into fists.
"We almost there, mommy!" Wednesday says.
2 minuets later, we were at the hospital and I was rushed into the delivery room.
Gomez's POV
I can't stand this. Wednesday can't either. I need to be with her! Morticia's screaming like every 3 minuets.
"Daddy? Mommy and baby be ok?" Wednesday asked.
"Of course, darling." I said.
Just then Morticia screamed again. I'm worried.
"What was it like when I was born, daddy?" Wednesday asked.
"Well, first, your mother's water broke when she was alone. I was playing with the trains. Later Uncle Fester came home from Africa and gave mommy Cleopatra. The you're mommy went in the conservatory and put Cleopatra down and suddenly, she fell because of the pain. Then about 5 hours later, you were born." I told her.
Then, there was a cry of a baby.
"Is that my bwother or sister?" Wednesday asked eagerly.
"I think so, darling." I said.
Then the doctor came out and said we could see the baby...
Morticia's POV
It took 6 hours to deliver this little one. But, he's perfect. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He
has no name though, yet.
"Hi, mommy!" Wednesday said when she came in.
"Hi, Wednesday." I said.
"Is the baby here yet?" she asked, Gomez coming in.
"Come here and see him. Sit up here next to me." I said, patting the bed.
She sat up on the bed.
"I have a bwother?" she asked.
"I have a son?" Gomez asked.
"Yes. Look, Gomez. He has your nose." I said smiling.
"Yes. Too bad he doesn't have my mustache. He has Wednesday's eyes though." Gomez said.
"He'll have your mustache someday, darling." I said.
"What's his name?" Wednesday asked.
"He doesn't have one yet. Do you have any ideas?" I ask her.
"How about... Pugsley?" Wednesday asked.
"That's great, Wednesday!" Gomez exclaimed.
"Where'd you think of that?" I ask her.
"The river, Pugsley." Wednesday says.
"Pugsley it is." Gomez says.
"Can I hold him, mommy?" Wednesday asks.
"Sure. But I have to help you." I say.
"Ok, mommy." Wednesday said.
I placed Pugsley in her arms and helped her hold him. She then kissed him on the fore head.
"Hi, Pugsley. I'm your big sister Wednesday. I love you." she said.
"We all love you." I say to him.
"This has to go in the family album!" Gomez exclaimed getting the camera ready.
He sat on my left and looked at Wednesday and Pugsley and smiled.
"Say Addams." Gomez said.
"Addams." We said.
"I love you, Pugsley." Wednesday said.
