Surprising Question
"Mama." Karlie said as she shook Jackie awake.
"What sweetheart?" Jackie said as she sleepily opened her eyes.
"School time." Karlie replied happily.
Jackie smiled at her.
"There's no school today kiddo, it got canceled." Jackie replied.
A pipe had busted in a different school in the district the night before, flooding that school and instead of just canceling school for that particular school, they decided to cancel every school in the district so the days wouldn't be uneven, the district allowed two emergency days per school year, meaning they wouldn't have to make up the days unless they exceeded the two day limit, and since it was Friday everyone expected for the flooded school to be up and running by Monday, and nobody was complaining about the unexpected three day weekend, except for Karlie.
"But mama, me wanted to go to school today, Miss Hanson was going to be our teacher until lunch time. (Mrs. Rice, Karlie's teacher had half-day training)" Karlie complained, as if Jackie could fix the situation.
"I'm sorry kiddo, but on Monday Miss Hanson is going to be a guest teacher in a second-grade classroom and she has morning walk duty, so when daddy brings you to school you can go say hi to her alright?"
"Ok." Karlie said, cheering up somewhat.
"And it's supposed to be a surprise so you can't tell any of your classmates but in a couple weeks Mrs. Rice is going to go on vacation and she'll be gone all week and Miss Hanson is going to be your guest teacher so you'll get to see her a lot pretty soon."
"Yay." Karlie cheered happily.
Jackie smiled at the happy little girl.
"What do you say we go back to sleep until daddy gets home from work and then mommy will get up and make us all pancakes for breakfast?" Jackie asked.
"Ok." Karlie said happily.
A couple hours later, after Nick had gotten home the family enjoyed a nice breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes.
Later in the afternoon everyone went to the park and then out for ice cream.
After that they went home and hung out around the house.
Jackie was coming out of the bathroom when Nick walked past her in the hallway.
"It was a fun afternoon, huh?"
"Yeah, it was." Jackie answered with a smile.
He wrapped his arms around her, and lightly brushed his lips to hers.
"Stop it dada, that's gross." Hundley said, suddenly appearing in between Nick and Jackie.
"That's gross?" Nick asked the little girl with a smile.
"Yeah." Hundley said with a shake of her head as she then toddled off.
"Wonder how she thinks she got here?" Nick whispered to Jackie.
"Shhh." Jackie said as she chuckled and swatted his arm.
He grinned at her and then walked away.
Later that night after the kids had been put to bed Nick and Jackie lay in bed, drinking a glass of wine and watching a sitcom.
Jackie suddenly paused the show and then she turned to Nick.
"Honey, what do you think about having another baby?"
