Chapter 9

It was week before Sidney’s Birthday, and the cup was coming that day also. I rolled over in bed. i looked at Sidney. I just smiled, and put my hand on his chest, and made small circles, with my finger. He let out a deep breath, and rolled over on his side. i kissed his shoulder, and sat up. i kinda had an upset stomach. i got out of bed, and I felt light headed. I went downstairs made myself, some hot tea, put a pot of coffee on for Sid whenever he gets up.  I walked out on the back patio. I sat at the table, and watched the water. I looked at my phone I didn’t realize how early it was. it was just turning seven.

“hey baby.” I turned around, Sidney walking out with a cup of coffee.

“morning.” I said

“what are you doing up?” he asked kissing my forehead.

“i’m up, did I wake you?” i asked

“no, I just noticed you got up, and you didn’t come back.” he said, sitting in a chair next to me. I looked back out at the water.

“its so calm.” i said

“quite.”

“yes.” I smiled, I looked at him. “ look at us, sitting outside watching the water, drinking our tea, and coffee.”

“we’re an old married couple.” he said

“hey speak for yourself, i’m still young,” i said, he laughed

“yes, you are.” he said, iI looked him. “what's wrong?” he asked,  I gave him a little smile.

“umm I think …..i’m pregnant, Sid.”

“ What?” he smiled

“i’ve been light headed the last few week, been feeling sick, and i didn’t have my period.”

“baby,” he stood up, so did I. he hugged me.

“wait, we can’t get too excited, we not know for sure, I said I think.”

“i’ll take I think right now.” he kissed me. I put my fingers in his hair. “ I love you.” he said, resting his forehead on mine.

“I love you too.” I kissed him. he hugged me

“you gotta make a doctor appointment.”

“I did and couple days ago, for today.”

“want me to go?” he asked, I laughed

“no, you stay with the boys.”

“you sure?”

“yeah, its just blood test,”

“what time?”

“10 am”

I got home from the doctors, I open the door. the boys were yelling.

“Oliver stop jumping on the couch, and sit at the table.” Sidney told him

I walked in dining room, Aiden was sitting Dylan in a chair, Sid had two plates in his hands. I leaned in the door,

“mama” Oliver said, Sidney looked up. I looked at him. I smiled. he smiled.

“no way.” he said,  I nodded. “yes.” he said, and ran and hugged me. "How are you? How far along?"

"Slow down." I said

"What going on?" Aiden asked, Eating his chicken nuggets.

"Nothing, buddy." I said. "You three keep eating." I said, we went in the kitchen.

"I'm fine, we're healthy, I'm just eight weeks."

"Eight weeks. When are you due?"

"Yeah umm February 4." I said "Okay, I want to tell our parents before we tell the boys."

"Okay."

"Also, maybe we should wait after Taylor's wedding."

"Why?"

"This should completely 100 % be about her, right now."

"And what are people gonna say when you're not drinking?"

"Simple the boys."

"Okay?"

"No ones gotta notices." I said

"Okay, want some lunch, I made chicken nuggets."

"Sounds great." I laughed, he kissed my cheek.

Later that week, I was meeting with Taylor’s to look at flowers, foods, some little things. It was really coming together.  We were meeting, and Sid and Anthony at their parents. We walked into the house.

"Mama!" Dylan ran to me.and hugged my leg.

"Ahh... Hey baby." I said picking him up, and hugging Him.

"Hey honey." Sid said, I looked at him. "What's wrong?" He asked

"take me home." I said

"You look tired."

"I am." I said

"Everything--- umm come here dude, go get your brothers." Sid took Dylan from me. "Everything else okay?"

"No, I feel awful, I've been feeling like I'm gonna be sick all night."  

"Then go to the bathroom."

"I'll wait until we get home." I said

"No, you go to the bathroom I'll go get the boys." He said."sweetie."

"Okay." I said

I went to the bathroom. I throw up, and I was getting really hot. I put my hair up. I splashed some cold water on my face.

I walked out.

"Everything okay?" I jumped.

"Sid." I said

"Sorry."

"I'm having hot flashes."

"The boy don't want to go home, my mom said they can stay."

"Really?"

"Yeah, just us."

"So I can sleep, without a kid in the bed, or waking up every couple hours."

"Ahh, yeah." He said.

"Okay." I went in the kitchen. Trina making something.

"Trina, are you sure that the boys can stay?"

"Oh yeah, we would love them to." She said,

"Okay, thank you."

"No no, your welcome." she said, I smiled

"I'm gonna say bye to the boys"

"Okay, I'm making them cupcakes."

"Oh gosh, there gonna love them."

I went down to the basement. I hard sidney laughing.

"Bud, how did I show you to hold the stick?" He asked.

"There you go." He said

"What are you guy doing down here?" I asked

"Babe!" Sid said, and pulled me into his chest.

A puck flew by. I grabbed Sidney's arm that was around my chest.

"Sorry, mama." Aiden said

"It's okay, bud."

“you okay?” sid whispered

“yeah.” i  laughed. “you boys come and give me a hug.” i said, they ran to me. “i love you.” i said

“love you.” Sid said. Sid looked at me, I smiled. I kissed Dylan’s cheek.

“have fun.” I told him.

“okay.” he said,  Sidney put him down.

“come on.” sid said, we were on our way home. I was looking out the window. the sun was just going down. the different colors of the sky, and coming off the water. I felt Sidney turn and stop. I looked up, we were in the parking lot of the ice cream place we go to every year by ourselves, since we started dating.  

“I know, you're tired but we haven’t been here all summer, and it almost over.” he said

“oh no, come back here.”

“you love it when i’m pregnant, you get a reason-- oh now I know why you wanted another kid, you wanted a reason to eat sweets.” I laughed, I grabbed his arms as we kept walking.

“oh yeah, I wanted you to get pregnant so I can have piece of cheesecake.” he smiled at me. “not gonna though, it's easier for me to cheat when you're pregnant i don’t feel as guilty”  he laughed.
