I paused the show and mildly said, "Can we go to the hospital? I think it's really time now." Yeah right, that's what you said the last three times," ...omplained Jake."You want a bet? Maybe you should take a look down there for yourself to see if I'm wrong?" I said as I started to lift up my nightgown.Jake backed off, and Kat and Steven took me to the hospital followed by the rest of the family. Late that night, my daughter Kara May Tanner-Myers was born. She was the smallest healthiest human I. His knees gave and he slumped into the kitchen chair staring at the old, lined paper he'd written to her on at night, in his room at his parents house. How he'd told her of his dreams for their future, something he thought of constantly.His dreams, how simple they had been. Simple and about as easy to accomplish as flying to the moon without a rocket. He'd wanted a house, nothing fancy. He didn't need a swimming pool or tennis courts, whirlpool tubs with their pulsing jets, or fifteen. I could see his bride Mantarl in the kitchen, preparing some Craxill item I was unfamiliar with, his hands covered in a white flour-like substance. Mantarl's mate was no doubt upstairs in their flat, keeping their young cub entertained and caring for Ian's wife Siobhan, who'd just given birth to a son two weeks ago.Ian waved at me as I entered, and drew a pint of stout for me as I sat down. It was a local brew, not the Guinness I'd favored at home, but it was tasty nonetheless.I took a much. Saturday morning arrived and I was eating breakfast with my mom, she asked me what I had planned for the day.Of course being the free spirit that my mom is I told her I was going to a swing party, NOT! I told her I was going to hang out with friends. I know she wanted to tell me to get a haircut but she didn't. You see since my girlfriend had dumped me I had not shaven or gotten a haircut and it was driving her crazy."Will you be home for dinner, dad's is going to BBQ some steaks?"I told her I.
