"Happy birthday, My love," said Caroline, placing a stack of pancakes in front of Charles. Charles replied, kissing his wife, "Thank you, Sweetheart." As Caroline went to pour Charles a glass of milk, a powerful contraction caused her to double over. "Mmmmm," she moaned, tightly shutting her eyes. Charles sprung up from his chair and hurried over to Caroline. "Charles? I feel something," Caroline said in a panic. Charles, now scared out of his wits, asked, "What? A kick?" "No," groaned Caroline, "a contraction. Oh." She then gave way and fell to her knees. Charles quickly sprinted over to the two houses next door to get his mother, sister, sister-in-laws, and mother-in-law. "Charles, what's wrong," questioned Caroline's mother, Charlotte, noticing the troublesome look on her son-in-law's face. Charles replied, "Caroline's having the baby." Charlotte, Laura (Charles' mother), Polly (Charles' sister), and Eliza Ann and Lottie (Caroline's sisters) rushed back to Charles' and Caroline's. Caroline cried, "Charles, I'm sorry for ruining your birthday." "What are you talking about? This is the best present a man can ask for. How many men do you know that get to share his birthday with the long awaited arrival of his first child," Charles replied, brushing strands of sweaty hair out of Caroline's face.
Two hours later, Charles and Caroline welcomed Mary Amelia Ingalls into the world.
