Pretty soon I will be eight months pregnant; two months to go before Liam comes into the world! I look at all the baby stuff that Peter bought and begin to do something with it. I decided to use Rats' room as there's only two bedrooms and got started. I painted the walls blue, after taking Rats out, of course. Started setting up the bassinet, and putting a few toys in the closet. I pull out the white crib and look at it; I forgot that you have to build it, haha. I take out the instructions and try to read them "Wow...you've been busy!" I jump and turn around to see Sarah looking at the room in awe "You scared me. Yeah, I thought that I might as well get started on the baby room." I say cheerfully. Sarah smiles "You're nesting. Got it." She says with a giggle. "Do you need any help?" She asks "Eh, I can do it on my own. Besides, Peter should be back from the store any second now." I reply. Sarah nods "I'm glad everything seems to be okay now. Now hopefully once little squirt gets here I can start working my job." She says. I arch my brow "Oh?" I inquire. Sarah smiles widely "Well...it's not official, but I'm supposed to be getting my results in the next few days. The night after that horrid day at the Diner I went to the Community College in Vernal to take the A.C.T. and S.A.T.!" She says excitedly "Oh, Say-Say, that's awesome! What are you going to go for?" I ask. Sarah gives me a pondering look "To be honest, I am not sure just yet. Man, I have never been to school, I actually had to take Senior Year twice, remember. I'm not really booksmart though." She says "Hey, you're very smart. You'll get a good score, I'm sure of it!" I say reassuringly. Sarah smiles before hugging me "You know I love you, right?" She asks "Like a sister. And I love you." I say, hugging back. She now pulls away "Now let me help you with that crib." She says as I smile and roll my eyes playfully "Alright, alright." I say. As Sarah helps put the crib together I begin to think about the events from a few nights ago, how that person knew my name, and Tiana's warning...Tiana, I have thought so much about that poor girl, and how her family feels right now. I suddenly hear the door open "I'm back!" Peter calls out. Sarah sets up the right side of the crib to the wall and sits on her knees. "Darling, why is Rats in the kitchen?" Peter asks, pointing his left thumb before looking at the room "Surprise! Ya like it?" I ask. Peter looks awestruck "Y...yeah, it looks great! Although, I was going to set it up. It would have been safer." He says "Oh, I was careful. The painting was actually the fun part. I've been at this since you left this morning." I say with a smile. Peter's eyes now widen "Yvonne, you could have left the hard stuff to me. You don't need to be on your feet like this." He says with worry in his voice. Sarah rolls her eyes "C'mon, Pete, she's not made of glass. Besides, I've helped her with the hard stuff so she can be careful on her feet. I was here if something were to happen." She says "And that just gives me so much comfort." Peter says sarcastically. I roll my eyes "Babe, I was fine. Liam is fine. I'm tired of resting, I've been resting for weeks, I want to do something, and setting up the baby room is the best thing." I say excitedly "She's nesting, Pete. It's gonna come with the territory." Sarah says. Peter sighs "Well, I guess I'm gonna put the groceries up and I can help finish the room with my loving wife." Peter says with a soft smile. Sarah now smiles "Hey, Pete. Guess who took their first A.C.T. and S.A.T. all in one night?" She asks "By the way, Darling, we have to go to the gas station later, I've got a surprise there for you." He says before pecking my right cheek. I glance over at Sarah to see her look a bit hurt. As Peter leaves I stand over her "You feeling okay?" I ask. Sarah nods and gives me a fake smile "Oh, yeah, I'm good. Let me get this crib underway." She says cheerfully. I nod and put away more toys. After a few minutes Peter walks in "I was going to tell you, I had a highchair somewhere. I don't know where it could be." He says "It's in the closet...did you hear me earlier?" Sarah asks. Peter goes into the closet "Yeah, something about computers." He says "No, I took the A.C.T. and S.A.T. and I'm supposed to be getting the results in the next few days." She says "Okay." Peter says before looking at me. "Darling, can you grab me that box right there? It's got cereal in it." He says "I can, but that's really good for Sarah, I think. I remember when she had a hard time graduating." I say "Yeah. So I was thinking that maybe I could buy that floaty thing that does music or some-ow!!" Peter exclaims, a wooden block thrown at the back of his head! I look back to see Sarah stomping her right foot "Do I just not have any importance?!" She asks angrily. Peter glares back at her "Let me think...no." He says "Seriously, after everything! I think this a good thing for me and you don't care!" She exclaims "Sarash, your life has been a lot better compared to mine. You've had it made. You were Dad's favorite and you got out too. Plus, people at school were nicer to you because you had a group of weebs following you around and everyone felt sorry for you." He says "Peter." I scold "It's just the truth." He says "You're one to talk, wannabe Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. Also, Peter, I lived in a box while in Arkansas. I never could get a job either because Ma burned my Birth Certificate in a bonfire. As for Pop...I..." She trails off before wiping her eyes. "Excuse me." She says before running out of the room. I look at Peter angrily "Peter, what is wromg with you?" I ask "She's treated me like dirt since the day she was born. She needs to realize that she can't just waltz into my life and expect me to care. I have a family to take care of." He snaps "Peter, go apologize. She's still your sister." I say "Yeah, some sister. Didn't even tell me that she actually knew you." He says. I cross my arms "That was my idea, not hers! Look, I am proud of her. At least do it for me, okay?" I ask. Peter rolls his eyes before walking away and throwing his arms up "Fine." He snaps. I follow him to the deck and see him leave the door ajar.
