Chapter 8

Short nights and long days were what this new life was all about. Having dropped my head on the softness of my pillow shortly before the sun rose, I hadn’t been able to fall into a deep sleep before it was time to crawl out of bed and get back to duty. My body had started to adjust to the lack of sleep and so, the heavy feeling that overpowered my eyes were quickly washed away with a splash of water to my face.

‘Good morning sweetie,’ I said to my wife who was busy rubbing oil on her oversized tummy.

‘Hey there,’ she replied. ‘I heard you guys had a pretty long night.’

‘How’d you hear that?’ Getting used to how fast news traveled wasn’t easy.

‘Cindy stopped by last night to check up on me and keyed me into what happened. I was worried about you Jimmy.’ A sadness developed in her eyes.

‘Cindy came all the way here?’ I asked, surprised. Cindy’s house was on the other side of the Cul De Sac, a lot closer to the area that Jonathan, Edward and I had been manning, than to my house.

‘Yeah. That’s really nice of her, isn’t it? Though I must say, I can’t believe after all that excitement with people jumping the fence that she came alone.’

To say that I was shocked would be an understatement. Sure, it was nice of Cindy to check up on Marge. However, her coming by herself was breaking a very important rule. During the night, we traveled in groups, period.

Rather than getting my wife riled up about how unsafe I thought it was that Cindy decided to wander so far from her home, I changed the subject. ‘So, what’s on your schedule for the day?’

‘Same old thing as usual. Cooking, cleaning, and helping your mom in the greenhouse.’

‘Sounds relaxing but you know, it’s about time you start taking things a little easy. You’re due in a couple of days and you don’t want anything going wrong.’

‘I know babe, but I can’t just sit around and do nothing. It’s already hard having everyone treat me like a baby I don’t need all the pity. I’m happy. I’m healthy and I promise you that I’m not overextending myself.’

I made my way over to Marge and placed a kiss on her cheek. ‘I know you’re taking good care of yourself and that little bundle of joy in you,’ I rubbed my hand over her bare tummy.

‘Did you feel that?’ she exclaimed.

‘I sure did,’ I smiled, positioning my hand over the spot where I felt the baby kick. ‘That feels like the kick of a real man.’

‘You think? Because I can’t shake the feeling that we’ll be having a girl.’

Marge and I had opted against knowing the sex of the baby. We decided that another element of surprise was worth the wait. Marge was convinced we’d be having a girl and I just knew deep down that a little Jimmy would be popping out of her soon. Many
