His car was quickly towed to the nearest garage where the mechanic told him he would need a couple of hours to check out the car. The penguin, being a...good natured bird, didn’t complain but wondered off to find the closest supermarket. He proceeded to the frozen foods section and hung out near the fish sticks. After an hour he got in the freezer next to the vanilla ice cream and ate several gallons. Then he saw the time and went back to the garage covered in ice cream. The mechanic walked over. The next day was school and I saw Vicky and asked her to come over because I had to tell her something.She said she would be over in a bit.After school, I went home and, since I did not have any school work to do, I went down to the hot tub.The air was warm and the hot tub was the right temperature. I hopped in and relaxed, thinking of my time with my mother yesterday. I wore an old pair of shorts that did not cover much.As I was lost in remembering, my mom came by and asked if she could join. The light was still on, and Bobby’s scent, as well as his naked flesh against hers registered. She looked at him, and everything flooded back into her mind.“I’m pregnant!” she gasped again. Her voice edged toward panic and tears.Bobby, being a man, responded as most men would.“How do you know?”“I must be,” she said. “It’s been too long.”“Too long for what?” he asked. Men don’t have periods, so they don’t think about them.It didn’t feel dignified to sit on the floor.“Help me up,” she said.Off. But, you and I will be done by then.”I focused on Greta and Michael. He was right; they were walking. I didn’t recognize the stretch of road they followed, however. They could be anywhere.I returned to here and studied Chloe’s face. Her eyes bulged with the effort to breath. She looked at me and shook her head. It wasn’t much, but it was enough for me to understand that she didn’t want me to agree.Then I hear someone scream, “What the hell?”I turn to see Lisa running toward me. She stopped next.
