Chapter twenty, part four
Then it was time for Ruths birthday. It was a day Deborah kind of felt conflicted about. The birth of her little sister two years ago was happy but the things that happend afterwards weren't. She tried not to think about it and her mother made it easy for her by annoucing another pregnancy. Like most of her sisters, Deborah wasn't really counting on her mother having another baby. She was already a bit older and Deborah had thought that she was too old to have another baby. Apparently she wasn't. They recieved the news with happiness. It would be baby #19 for her parents and it would come in the summer.
When everbody was a bit used to the idea that there would be another sibling they started to think about the three grandchildren of her parents that had to say aunt or uncle to this baby. Aidan said he hoped that in twenty years he would be in the same position. Deborah paniced by the thought of baring nineteen children. Twenty years of pregnancy after pregnancy. She felt a bit done already and this was only her second pregnancy and it would be her first baby to take care of. Last time she didn't have a baby to look after while recovering from childbirth. That would be a whole different story this time. Just the nights alone would be completly different.
