Two Fools in Love: Book 3

Another Gabby

"Willow Alexandra!"

"Don't you talk to me, mommy!  I is mad at you!"

"Willow, Enough.  You don't speak to your mother that way.  Now apologize." Danny says.

Willow turns to Jessica with her nose in the air.
"No." She says.

Jessica sighs and nods her head.
"I had two Gabby's twenty two years apart.
What did I do to deserve this?"

**

At home.

"Pregnant?"

"Yes."

"Eight puppies?"

"At least!"

"MOM!"

"WHAT?!"

"I'm having a baby and you're having puppies?!"

"I'M not having them!"

Anastasia rolls her eyes.

"Ana, I understand your frustration but it will be okay."

"I don't want the house full of dogs when I bring my baby home!"

"Honey, it won't. Don't worry. Don't get yourself all worked up."

"We already have three in the house, now this!"

"Calm down, baby."

Anastasia sighs and rubs the top of her belly.
"Ah!" She hunches over and makes a painful face.

"What's wrong?"

"Eh! It hurts!" Anastasia looks to her mother with a look of fear.

"It's okay, it's okay, just breathe. It's probably only braxton hicks, don't worry."

"I don't like it!"

"I know, baby. It's normal, it's just your body's way of getting you ready for the birth."

"I'm so scared, momma.." Anastasia begins to cry.

"Baby girl, you're so strong! Don't be scared." Jessica smiles and rubs her daughter's belly.

"Little Anna is on her way soon."

"Yeah..
  I'm gonna be a mom.  How horrifying is that?"

Jessica giggles.
"You're going to be a great mommy!  I mean.. you learned from the best!" Jessica smiles.

"That's also why you're such an amazing actress!" Jessica smirks.

"Haha! That's so true! I did learn from the best actress in the entire world."

"Hey those are your words, not mine!" Jessica smiles.

Anastasia laughs as she rubs her belly.
"Who knows.. maybe Annabelle will take after her mommy and grandma."

Jessica smiles and places her hand over her daughter's bump. "Maybe so!"
