Pregnant again

9

Ben drove them to the funeral and the car was pretty silent on the ride there. They found a place to park and the four walked inside grabbing Funeral bulletins on the way in.

They walked to the friends side and scooted into the row. Ben held her hand as the family walked in with a scripture reading.

Throughout the funeral, they listened to the song, scriptures, obituary reading, and all the people getting up and saying wonderful things about her. He looked over at his wife silently crying and he knew she was thinking about her mom.

When it was over the guys walked to the car and Miranda went to find the rest room. After using it she washed her hands and walked back to the sanctuary.

"Mrs. Miranda." She heard Madison call out. She turned in the direction and the teen flew into her arms hugging her. "Thank you for coming."

"You don't have to thank me." Miranda said kissing her forehead. She looked up at Andrew and gave him a light smile.

"I have to get back to my boys they're hungry. You call me if you need anything." Miranda said seriously.

"Can I come over when ever you are home?"

"Of course. Text me and I'll let you know my off days."

"Alright. I guess I need to get back."

"Okay sweetie."

Miranda met the guys at the car and she was surprised to see Ben still waiting by her passenger side to open the door.

"Still my knight in shining armor." She mused.

"Always."

A few weeks later Joey found Ben in the garage looking through his tool box.

"Hey dad."

"Hey, how was school today?"

"It was good. Can I ask you for help. Mama Miranda always says that your good at romance and things..." he started and Ben nodded his head.

"Follow me to the backyard. And carry that wood." Ben instructed.

Joey did as told and he followed him.

"You're building her another tree house." Joey questioned looking up at it. "No wonder she's in love with you. You're always just thinking about her."

"And I am just as in love. That's what spouses do." Ben acknowledged. "What did you want help with."

"A prom proposal." He said sheepishly.

Ben smiled widely. He was flattered that he came to him.

"Do you think she wants to go after everything that happened." The teen asked him.

"Um I'm not sure did you ask Miranda?"

"No and Mama Miranda basically stole my girlfriend. She comes over and goes straight to her room when she claims that she is coming to see me. They are always on the phone, and constantly texting."

"She is just clinging to her more since her mother passed." Ben explained.

"Dad last week. I walked into yalls room to ask mom a question and they all were sleep. Pru on one side and Madison on the other. It's ridiculous."

"Wow." Ben laughed. "I think she probably still wants to go to prom."

"Okay so help me think of something. Your good with this stuff."

"Alright let me finish the stairs and then I will be inside to help you.

"Thanks."

Ben finished the stair case and the base of the tree house before going inside to take a shower. Miranda put on a roast before she went to work this morning and he just had to make the sides.
