Change Happens Chapter 19 Part 2
"Trista"
"Thanks for
giving me a ride home Mrs.Wise"
"Anytime sweetie, and call me Katherine"
"Okay bye Karli!"
"Bye"
I got out of the car, and walked up our stepping stones to the
front porch. I opened the big wooden door and walked
in.
"Trista? Is that you?"
"Yeah it's me"
"How did you get home from the pool?"
"Karli's mom drove me, since no one would pick up the
phone here"
"I'm sorry Trista, I just got finsihed mowing the
yard" He explained.
"Oh okay. Where's mom and Mia?"
"Mama is taking Mia to the dentist, she complanied for
an hour with a toothache"
"Oh"
"By the way, Mom planned a family meeting at 6, so
don't make any plans with Ava"
"Okay" I went in my room and flipped on the TV.
Family meetings at our house weren't exactly special.
Mama and Daddy liked to have one once a week.
Sometimes we just planned what we were going to do that
week. Or other times, Mom made us tell what things we
accomplished. Other meetings we just talked to each
other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At 5:55, Mama knocked on my door softly.
"are you coming?"
"Yes"
I went into the living room, and sat down beside Mia.
Dad turned off the news, and started the meeting by telling us
about his raise.
"That's very good honey" Mom said.
"Do you girls have anything to
say?" Dad asked.
"No" I said. Mia shook her head drowisly,
the dentist gave her medicine that made her pretty
sleepy.
"Okay, then..." He glanced at Mom.
"Do you want to tell them Ronnie?"
I think you should"
"Really?" She bit her lower lip.
"Just tell us!" I said.
"Mom is pregnant"
I felt my mouth drop, and heard Mia gasp.
"Really?" I finally managed to say.
"Yes, are y'all excited?" Mama asked.
"Yeah" I smiled.
"Definetly" Mia chirped in.
"Hey mom, we don't have a fourth bedroom" I
realized.
"We know that, pretty soon we're changing the
playroom into the baby's room"
"What about the toys?"Mia asked.
"We'll move them into the basement, it has a soft
carpet"
Wow, I thought to myself, taking it all in. Another brother
or sister......
