It was 2 AM, Charlotte was wide awake listening to Kaylie and Gussie snoring at the foot of their bed. What had they done? Two dogs, two huge snoring dogs... and, rubbing her stomach, a partridge in her pear tree. Their house was never a boring place, and now it was more of a circus. As she pulled the comforter up under her chin, Sam rolled over, kissed her on the hollow of her neck and asked, "Going anywhere?"
"No," she answered, dreamily.
Then looking down at the limp dogs sprawled impeding his feet, asked, "Want to celebrate our new additions?"
Charlotte laughed. "How, by spreading doggie treats on the comforter?"
"No, by kicking out our guests and exploring all the possible scenarios of..."
Charlotte rolled her eyes as she let out a wicked giggle. "Maybe we should watch them... get pointers..."
"Charlotte! What are you saying?"
Both husband and wife rocked the bed with their laughter, until Charlotte felt the baby kick. Grabbing her husband's hand she laid it upon her abdomen and said, "Sam, Sam, feel here."
Forgoing their plans, they spent the rest of the morning lying in bed, quietly feeling the baby's movements.
