Life Changing

Chapter 9

Emily had been married for three weeks. She loved it. She was watching Penelope while Sam was at an autograph signing. They were on the floor playing with Play-Doh. Emily's video chat ring went off on her phone. She got up off the floor and sat on the couch to answer it. She pressed the button to connect. Travis popped up on the screen.

"Hi honey." She said.

"Hi." "What's up?"

"I'm watching Penelope."

"Is that your husband?" Penelope asked.

"Yes it is."

"I wanna hi."

"Come here." Penelope got up on the couch. "Penelope this is Travis."

"Hi." Penelope said to Travis.

"Hi." Travis said "It's nice to finally meet you." "I've heard a lot about you."

"I've heard about you to." "Tell me a joke."

"Tell you a joke?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I can't think of any."

"I thought you were supposed to be funny."

He and Emily laughed at the same time. "I am but most of my jokes are for adults."

"Oh."

"Here's one." "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"I don't know."

"To get away from the people trying to eat him." She laughed. "Oh good that worked." "I was nervous." "I don't get nervous very often."

After she got done watching Penelope Emily was having lunch with Britt.

"So how's married life?" Britt asked.

"It's amazing."

"What about the baby making?" She said smiling.

"Well since we haven't seen each other in a week, we can't try but when we're around each other we try every chance we get." "Which I'm not complaining about." She said smiling.

"I know you'll be a great mom." "You're great with kids."

The next night everyone was at the arena. Sam was having his match. During the match he twisted his knee. He won the match but he was limping bad. He was in the trainers room with Penelope. The trainer just finished examining him.

"I think it's hyperextend." The trainer said. "You'll need to go to the hospital for an x-ray to be sure."

"Ok." Sam said.

"No!" Penelope shouted. "No hospital."

"It's ok." "I'm fine." "I'm gonna have Emily watch you."

"No please don't go there." She said panicked. "The hospital is a bad place." "Don't go please." "Please."

"Would you feel better if you went with me?"

"Yeah."

Sam-and Penelope had just gotten back to the hotel. He had hyperextended his knee. He had to wear a knee brace for two weeks. Penelope changed for bed. Sam came into her room.

"I wanna talk to you Penelope." Sam said. They sat down on the bed. "I want to talk about why you didn't want me to go to the hospital."

"I'm sorry." "I got scared." "Last time mommy was in the hospital, she didn't come back."

"Aw." He hugged her. "It's ok." "That's not going to happen with me." "I promise."

"I love you, daddy."

He smiled. "I love you too." "Come on." "Let's get you to bed."

After he put her to bed, he went out into the living room. He was so happy that Penelope had just called him daddy for the first time. He shed a tear of happiness.
