Chapter 9: iMeet a New Family Member

Twenty-five year old Carly Benson smiled to herself as she waited. She and Freddie had been happily married for years now, they had enjoyed watching Paige and Rachel grow up, Paige now seventeen and happy with Lloyd, Rachel now eight and still as lively

Recently however, Carly had begun to notice a few things about her that piqued her curiosity, namely certain smells making her nauseous, even when she had liked them previously. Just then the timer went off and she responded at once. Picking up the pregnancy test from the bathroom counter she checked the result, grinning widely when she saw her suspicions were confirmed, it was positive.

'Freddie and I...are going to have a child, a biological child...' She thought to herself. 'Wow, that's...Paige and Rachel will be big sisters.'

She couldn't help but feel overjoyed, although she kept it reigned in, preparing to reveal it when she felt the time was right.

That time turned out to be dinner, for as they sat, Carly looked around and, since everyone was present, couldn't keep it in any more.

"Freddie, girls, I've got some news." She said.

They all looked at her and Rachel broke the silence.

"Mom?"

She smiled and nodded, looking meaningfully at Freddie. "I'm pregnant."

At once his eyes went wide, and a massive grin stretched on his face, Paige's eyes lit up too.

"No way!" She cried out in joy.

Carly couldn't help but laugh. "Yes way."

Rachel seemed a little confused at first, but once she realized what Carly meant she bit her lip.

"Darn it..." She muttered, Paige turned to her worried. "So, I won't be the baby of our family anymore?"

Hearing this, Paige couldn't help but laugh good-naturedly as Carly smiled and hugged Rachel.

Rachel pouted at her sister. "It's not funny."

"It'll be fine Rachel, don't worry." Carly told her.

Rachel nodded, but nevertheless, she still felt somewhat down.

So it was that, the following day, the Benson's went around to deliver the news, in person, to the Dukes.

"Wow Carls..." Sam gasped upon hearing the news. "That's great."

Carly laughed. "I know."

Having it explained so she could understand, seven year old Marie ran to Carly, hugging her.

"This is awesome." She cheered prompting more laughter from Carly.

As the adults continued to talk, Marie had noticed Rachel looking down and approached her.

"Rach?" She began, getting her attention. "What's wrong?"

Rachel sighed and began to explain it to her; revealing that, to put it simply, she was jealous of no longer being the baby of the family.

Hugging her Marie shook her head. "Oh, cher, relax."

"You sound like your dad." Rachel commented.

Marie just smiled at that, it was true, as she grew up, Marie had begun to develop the same Cajun accent as Bobby.

Months later, Carly returned home from an ultrasound, the girls were waiting eagerly for the news.

Carly grinned and revealed. "It's a boy."

"Wow..." Freddie whispered; he hadn't been told either, at his own insistence.

The girls both grinned widely, in the months that passed, much to the relief of the family, Rachel had overcome her jealousy mostly and now was as excited as the others.

"A little brother..." She said; eyes wide in amazement.

Freddie nodded. "That's right."

Paige also grinned; they would have a little brother and soon, their family would be complete.

Sure enough, some months later, Carly began to feel it and knew she was ready to give birth.

"Oh God, here we go..."

Hearing her Freddie immediately rushed into action and soon they were at the hospital, having to wait outside while Freddie stayed with Carly, Paige and Rachel sat together, Rachel couldn't help but be worried.

"Mom…?"

Paige smiled softly. "It'll be okay Rach, our baby brother's coming, he'll be here soon."

Rachel bit her lip but nodded; finally sure enough, Freddie emerged and invited them in. Entering they soon gathered around Carly who grinned.

"Everyone, meet Lucas."

They all smiled when they saw the baby boy, actually looking like an infant version of Freddie. They all took turns cradling him, as Rachel did so, Lucas actually smiled up at her. Just like that, any lingering jealousy that Rachel might have felt was gone. They were all glad to welcome, another new member of the family at last.
