Chapter 9: Behold, the Second Generation

“Sandra, I know you’re not comfortable, but are you ok?”

“Yeah, I’m all right. I’m just so tired all the time, and I’m peeing every two hours it seems like! It wasn’t like this with Joy. And then look how big I am! It’s only the first trimester!”

“I wasn’t going to say anything, but I did notice. Maybe there is more than one?”

“Oh, please, Xavier. We are too old to be doing this again period, and definitely too old for two!”

“True. This is very different though. Maybe we need to wrap our minds around it just in case.”

“I suppose.”

“Look, baby, I just want you to know that whatever the outcome…boy or girl…I want you to know that I’ll be happy and I’ll love you just the same.”

“Oh, X! I know you love me.”

“I am going to love you until there is no breath in my body.”

We went through Sandra’s pregnancy without a hitch. Apart from her naps and frequent visits to the bathroom, this pregnancy was trouble free. She never even had morning sickness! So, without further ado, allow me to introduce to you my prince, Donovan Pruett!
