The McCord Children

Stevie:Month Three

I know this is a short chapter.  I just wanted to get this out here.  Some one reviewed to have a flash forward, I will do that later in the story.  Any more suggestions?  Please review!  Read my other Stories like My Aunt Bethie, and Moving to Fast.  Sorry if there are any errors I missed.

Elizabeth was setting the table for her in laws. She was hoping it was going to be perfect June and Patrick, and Henry's two brother John and Stephan. Her parents were coming as well.
Today, they were gonna tell them they were going to be grandparents. Her parents Elaine and Russell. Her brother Nathan would be a little late, but he would come shortly.

"I can't wait for more people to know about you baby!" Henry placed a tender kiss on her stomach.

Elizabeth and Henry walked up the stairs. She wore a dress that flowed right over her bump and he a nice shirt and jeans.

The dinner smelled lovely. It was a pork chop with a vinaigrette salad and asparagus. Apple sauce on the side. They had Pinot to serve as a drink, but for obvious reasons Elizabeth would be drinking water.

The guest started to arrive soon after, the couple finished the dinner.

"Elizabeth, it smells wonderful!"June complimented her daughter in law.

"It does indeed." Elaine agreed.

"Something smells great!"Russell deep laugh went through the room.

"What are we eating?" Patrick asked.

"Pork Chops with some salad and asparagus." Elizabeth revealed.

"Tasty! Did Henry cool this?" Patrick smiled at his talented son.

"Yea, I did the salad though, because I can't cook to save my life!" Elizabeth stated.

The group sat down including the brothers sat down.

"Before we eat Elizabeth and I have some wonderful news." Henry interrupted before eating.

"We are expecting a baby!" Henry and Elizabeth smiled. The whole group smiled and Elaine and June went to Elizabeth for a hug.

"Our first grandbabe." June exclaimed excitedly.

"How far along." Elaine asked.

"14 weeks." Henry smiled at Elizabeth.

"So you were keeping a secret!" The family smiled at the couple.

"May we feel the bump?" June asked.

"After dinner."Elizabeth smiled as she took a bite of food. "I'm starving."

After dinner, Elizabeth took to the kitchen to wash up dishes and put away the left overs. June and Elaine stepped in and let her sit down with tea in her hands. Elizabeth placed a hand on her little baby bump while she sat down on the couch. Henry walked by giving her belly a rub as he joined his father and father-in-law for a glass of scotch.

Elizabeth smiled as June and Elaine who came to feel the bump that was holding both their first grandchild. "Have you felt any movement?" June asked.

"I've read it might not happen till 20 weeks." Elizabeth sighed. "I can't wait for it." She yawned this time, and Henry caught it.

"Hey, guys Lizzie needs some rest." Henry lead the group out. Then scooping Elizabeth into a bridal hold. Elizabeth snuggled into hist chest and placed tender kiss on each muscle and began to suck on his neck.

"Elizabeth!!!" Henry placed her on bed.

The Next Day

Henry sat in bed with Elizbeth who were talking about if the wanted to know the gender of the baby or not.  Henry was so excited to meet his child, the weeks were so slow to pass.  He just couldn't wait to hold his child.  Teach his child about the world around them, and the different points of life. Elizabeth would teach them her historical knowledge and he would teach them about religous scolars.  They would like to enrich their child and future children with culture and let them express their own opinions of their world. 

Elizabeth was walking down to the mailbox to retrieve her mail.  She noticed something in the pile of mail.  It was from the CIA office that she had applied for a job a couple of months ago.  It read,

Dear Elizabeth McCord,

We have read your application and would love to have you as an analyst for te CIA.  You seem you would be very fitting for this job.  We hope to hear from you and be a part of the CIA.

Sincerly,

Conrad Dalton

Elizabeth was so excited, but she knew that she had to give up this job oppurtunity to raise her child.  This child had to come first in their lives.  She had to decline this wonderful offer.  She called the office of the CIA and they understood.  Elizabeth sat down and wondered what would of happened if she didn't have this child.  There were so many mysteries to having this child. 

Henry found Elizabeth crying as he saw the letter about the job, he held her close and kissed her.  "You can always apply again after the baby is born.  I can stay home for a bit.  You know your parents and mine won't mind watching their own grandchild."  He tried to sooth Elizabeth. 

He knew their life would be alright.
