I think it would only take 2 moves to take them both out. OK, maybe 2 each. I smiled, and went back to talking with the other girls. I seemed like I was making friends. Even though they were all in high school. They seemed to like me.

We hung out with the cheerleaders until everyone was done getting measured. Even Jill and Maria hung around talking to some of the other girls. They pretty much ignored us. Which was fine. They weren't on the Varsity squad anyway.

“Hey, anyone up for lunch at A&W?” Shelby called.

There was a chorus of yeah. Everybody headed for their vehicles. Rebecca joined us, for the ride down. It was fun on the way to A&W. It was 11 cars heading down Grand River. Parking we all piled out and hit the picnic tables. We all ordered. It was a great time. Me, Lynn and our squad of cheerleaders. We headed home about 4 to avoid the traffic. Shelby dropped me and Lynn off and then went to drop off Rebecca.

Lynn and I were still in a good mood when we walked in the house. Mom was in the recliner reading.
“Well, it looks as though 2 people I know had a good time today.” Mom asked.

“We sure did Mom.” Lynn told her. “We got measured, then we talked for a while then the Varsity squad and some others went down to A&W. Me and Allison had a rootbeer float.”

“That sounds like you both are fitting in with your new squad. Have you thought about what you are going to work on for cheers.”

“Yeah, Me and Shelby want to evaluate the other girls to see what they know.”

“I hope that doesn't include me.” I spoke up.

Lynn being my older sister, “You especially”

“Nah” I stuck my tongue out at her. Then I had to hit the bathroom. I'm glad Miss Emilia was a good girl. Letting mommy have some fun without having me go to the bathroom all the time.

Daddy got home as I was finishing in the bathroom.

I didn't visit with him before dinner, being it was my turn to help mom. It was just a simple chicken strips, mashed potatoes, and green beans. We had the normal table discussion during dinner.

I finished my dinner, I just sat in my chair. Eyes closed.

“Allison are you alright?”

“Somebody is moving around a lot. Not sure if dinner agreed with her or not.”

Are you going to be all right? Do we need to take you to the Dr.”

I just breathed slowly in and out. “Yeah, I'll be OK. But Miss Emily is not happy at all.” I felt a cold wave go through me. My face flushed.

“Allison, are you alright.” I opened my eyes, It was Dr. Reid. I was laying on the couch.

“Wwwhat happened.” I tried to sit up.

“Please don't sit up.” Dr. Reid stopped me.

“Is Emily OK?” I felt my belly.

“Allison, Your parents had Lynn come and ask me to come over because you fainted.”

“Luckily, I was there to catch you. Dad carried you to the couch, as I had your sister get Dr. Reid.”Mom explained.

“Allison, don't worry. She is fine. It seems that your blood pressure dropped to fast.” The Dr. explained.

“Thank you, Dr. Reid”

“Anytime, I'm always there for my patients.” Dr. Reid went to leave.

“Thanks again. Amber.” Dad said as the Dr. walked out with mom.

I slowly started to sit up. “Careful, Princess. Do it slow.” Daddy put his hand on my back to help me.

“Thanks, Daddy. I am feeling better.” I scooted back to be able to sit up.

“Are you going to be OK. Little sis?” Lynn asked. “You are going to make tomorrows cheer practice. I'll need your to help evaluate the others cheer skills.”

I could actually feel my body regenerating. Getting better. “Yeah, I am feeling better already.” Then Miss Emilia told me that mommy hasn't gone in a while you need to go. I was able to make it to and from the bathroom without indecent. I just watched tv with Mommy and Daddy until I headed up to bed. Changing out of my cloths, I put them in the dirty cloths basket. Slipped into my sleep shorts set. Used the bathroom once more, brushed my teeth. Curled up and crashed for the night. Between the first and second trip to the bathroom. I had a strange dream. I was just into my 20s so Emily was about 8. and someone kidnapped her. I was able to find the person responsible and I disposed of with extreme prejudice. This small demure little lady, me. Broke both the guys knee caps, before kneecapping him with my .45. Then I got mad. Nobody touches my little girl.

After my second trip I just lay back on my bed. Talking to my little girl I carried inside me. “Emilia, you have nothing to worry about. Mommy will never let anyone hurt you. You will be taught to defend yourself, I promise.”

I just closed my eyes and listened to the night sounds outside my window. I eventually drifted back off to the world of slumber.

Wouldn't you know it. I woke up to pee. 10 minutes before my alarm went off. So I turned off my alarm. Peed,and got changed. Another beautiful day today is what they called for. Once dressed, I headed downstairs. Mom as usual was in the kitchen drinking her coffee.

“Morning, Miss Allison. How is my little lady this morning?”

“I am feeling great, don't know what happened last evening. With the program that should have never happened.”

“Remember, Honey. Your body is changing. So somethings maybe not working right. You are pregnant, you know.”

“Really Mom, So that is why I go to the bathroom all the time.” we both giggled.

“what's so funny?” Lynn asked as she came into the kitchen.

“Mom was telling me I was pregnant?” I giggled.

“I think that you already know that.” That made me and mom change from the giggles to an all out laugh.

“God, I have a weird family?” Lynn put a couple pieces of toast in the toaster.

“Look whose talking.” I commented.

“NA” she stuck her tongue out at me.

I finally got up and poured myself a bowl of cereal. I sat next to mom with my apple juice.

Between bits. “When is practice?”

“11 at school. Shelby's gonna pick us up again. She just lives a couple blocks from us.”

“Cool” I said with a mouth full.

“Allison, you know not to talk with your mouthful.” Mom cautioned.

“Sorry mommy.”

Me and Lynn finished. Stretched. Then headed out. We took the northwest block today. As we came to the first turn. It was by an open area. On the other corner was some boys talking. They stopped and stared at us. I cut the corner, then started a back flip run. I did 4 ending with a back tuck roll.

“Show off.” Lynn told me when she caught up. “You need to tell those boys to pick up there tongues before somebody steps on it.”

We both giggled. I was saying, “ OK, then next time you can do one.”

“I'm not a show off like you are?”

“I know better.”

Again once we got back to the house, we walked down to the Reid's driveway. And back to cool down. Today it was Lynn who took off for the shower. She burst in the door and was half way up the stairs.

“Lynn McKenzie Wilson.” Mom called.

Stopping dead. “Yes, Momma?” Yet she stayed on the stairs.

Mom motioned with her finger to come down.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs, “Yes. Mom” her head down.

I moved to go around her, “Allison Meagan Wilson, You can stop right there.”

“Yes, Mom” I stood next to Lynn, my head down also.

“This is the last time it is a mad run to the shower. I am going to set some rules until we get our other bathroom with a shower finished. Lynn gets the shower first, Mon Wen, Friday. And Saturday. Allison gets it first Tuesday, Thurs, and Sundays.”

“Wait she gets it first more days than I do, that is so unfair.”

Mom just gave me the Mom look. I shut up quick. I think Moms learn that look the same day the baby is born. Maybe its part of the birth process. I hope to find out soon after Emilia is born.
