Chapter 1: 1st month
It was a bright day in England, the sun having just come up Evelyn and Rick O'Connell were enjoying their time alone together before their toddler woke for the morning.
"It's sure quite when he's asleep."  Rick mumbled, pulling Evie closer to his body as he sighed.
"Rick….what would you say if I told you we were going to have another baby?"  Evelyn asked lightly, moving to lay her chin on his chest to look up at him with her brown eyes.
He couldn't speak clearly, wondering if he'd heard her correctly.  "A…ba-baby?"  he stuttered, sitting up to look down at her with a half smile half oh-my-god-I'm-going-to-regret-this-one face.
"Yes…a ba-baby."  She mocked, getting up to start her day as they heard giggling and padded footfall coming toward their room.
"How far along?"  he wondered, coming up behind her, wrapping his arms around her still slim waist.
"Six weeks."
"Hi momma!"  Alex called as he opened up the bedroom door and ran in, attacking her legs.  He had been extremely protective of her lately, as if he knew something was amiss.
"There's my little boy.  How about taking a bath and then we'll eat breakfast."  Evelyn questioned, lifting him up and finding him wet.  They'd been trying to potty train him, and he was doing fairly well except for the nights, when he occasionally wet the bed.
Getting him ready and into the bathtub went well, and while he played she got dressed and began putting her makeup on.  Finding that the skirt she wanted to wear wasn't fitting as loose as it always did.  She knew it would kill her all day for she was working in the back room with the heavy objects and the cataloguing.  She didn't care, it was proof that another baby was on the way; she loved the feeling.
