"And this is where I was when my water broke." Marcy stopped in a field.
Mally and Mickey looked around the blueberry patch. "Wow!"
Riley mimicked them from Marcy's arms even though she had no idea what was going on. "Wow!"
"Want to see the hospital?" Marcy readjusted the almost two year old so she wouldn't drop her.
"Yeah!" The twins jumped around.
"Come on."
W.W.W.
"Guys!" Maddie yelled. "Come look at this goat give birth!"
"Really?!" The twins were interested.
"Mad..." Marcy wrinkled her nose.
"Come on." Maddie begged. "It's the miracle of life!"
"The miracle of life is disgusting."
Maddie stuck out her bottom lip.
"Ugh! Put the lip away! We'll come."
"We will?" Marc looked down at his wife.
The two week pregnant blonde smiled. "Yes, we will."
The siblings grabbed Riley and the twins (leaving the babies with the nannies) and left the family room to go out to the birthing barn to watch this goat give birth.
Dusk painted the sky a deep violet with streaks of peach and hot pink against a cobalt background. It was stunning.
Before they went into the barn, Mal took pictures. When they finally entered the barn, he took pictures.
The goat, Matilda, bleated softly as she passed her baby out. They had come just in time. A ranch-hand helped clean the kid off and checked its sex. "It's a boy!"
The Fabangeses cheered.
Mally wrinkled his face. "That's gross!"
The adults laughed.
