Chapter One: The Member of the Wedding
Jumping at the sound of the doorbell, six month pregnant Keely Telsow Diffy struggled to get herself off the leather couch. She set down her paperback copy of The Member of the Wedding, and waddled over to the door. After being put on bed rest do to her premature labor that happened a little less than a week ago, Keely's legs felt like Jell-O as she walked. She held onto the railing of the stairs as she pulled open the front door. Barbra, Phil's mother, stood in front of her with an apologetic face. She rushed inside to help Keely back to the couch.
"Keely, I'm so sorry. I forgot my key and it was my turn to come and check on you." She linked arms with her daughter-in-law and sat her down on the couch. Barb sat down next to Keely and looked at the book that was lying open on the arm of the chair. "The Member of the Wedding, I see that Phil's keeping you busy." She said eyeing the stack of books next to her.
Keely blew her bangs out of her face and leaned back into the couch. "I would much rather watch TV, but Phil says, "It's much better for you and the baby."" She said mockingly. "As interesting as these books are, I'm giving my self one hell of a headache."
"Why don't you take a nap?" Barb suggested while rubbing circles into Keely's back.
She rolled her eyes. "I tried; the baby won't let me lie down." She smiled and rubbed her protruding stomach. "I don't understand what sort of miracle won't let you sleep."
Barb smiled and than shot up extremely fast. "Oh my gosh, I almost forgot to tell you." Barb pulled something out of her purse. It was a letter from her mother Mandy.
"Your mother's coming back from her business trip in a week and she's bringing a present for you and the baby." Barb smiled and pulled Keely into a hug.
"You don't know how much it meant to me to have you at the hospital with me when I went into premature labor." Keely said quietly. Barb smiled and kissed her forehead.
"You and Phil find out the sex of the baby today, don't you?" Keely nodded.
"Yup, and I'm so excited." She said clapping with joy. "Phil's going to let me pick out everything for the nursery and stuff from online and he'll order it and put it together."
"How is it to be made out of money at 24 years old?" Barbra asked jokingly.
Keely crossed her arms. "We're not made out of money." She said defending herself. "Phil and I just both get really good incomes."
"Nether the less, I'm so proud of the both of you." Barbra stood up. "Do you need a ride to the doctor's office?" She asked.
Keely shook her head. She hopped she hadn't disappointed Barb. "Phil's going to pick me up in two hours."
"That's cool, so Keel, have you thought of any names?" She asked happily.
Keely bit her lip. "Actually, no, is that a bad thing?" She said with a worried tone.
The woman smiled. "Of course not, your baby's name will come to you, and when it does, you'll know it." She grabbed her house key from the coffee table. "Ah I must have left if here yesterday when I was checking on you!"
Keely rolled her eyes. "I don't understand why you guys have to check on me every ten seconds." She crossed her arms. "It's not like I'm doing anything but sitting." She gave Barb wide eyes and she laughed in spite.
"We're not checking on you, per say. Were more like, making sure you're not bored out of you mind." Barb grabbed her purse. "I really have to get back to work, but you call me as soon as you find out the baby's sex!" Barb waved a hand Keely and ran out the door. "Love You!" She screamed before closing the door.
"You too." Keely said slightly quieter. Keely glanced around the house. How was it possible to live in such a fantastic house, and not be able to go anywhere in it. She grabbed the television remote and turned on the TV. Phil will never find out. She thought. She flipped through numerous channels until she found Signs, with Mel Gibson, on Lifetime.
Seeing how the garage was on the other side of the house, and you were unable to hear it opening and closing from the living room, Keely sat and watched signs while Phil came trudging up the stairs from the basement. He watched in amusement as Keely jumped as a tall blue green alien walked by the birthday party. She pulled a blanket up to her chest and crossed her fingers that nothing else would happen. She reached for the remote and pushed power. That was enough of a scary movie for one pregnant woman.
"In this movie, the aliens are allergic to water. So, don't worry, we live right by a lake." Phil walked in and sat next to Keely. She looked at him with horror.
"Phil!" she exclaimed, smacking his arm with anger. "You scared the shit out of me." She moaned. "I think you scared the baby to, because no it won't stop moving." Keely groaned lifting up her shirt and placing a hand on her stomach. Phil looked down and could see an imprint of the baby's foot.
"I thought I said no TV!" Phil said sternly.
Keely rolled her eyes. "You did, but who said I would listen." She said playfully. Phil kissed Keely's head.
"Come on, we have to go to your appointment." He said picking her up from off the couch. "We have to be there in twenty minutes and it takes fifteen."
"So that means I have five to get ready." She said squirming out of her husbands arms. "Please put me down." She wined. Phil obliged. He watched as she made her way across to the bathroom.
Three minutes later she came out wearing clean clothes she had washed the day before, a pair of green Shmants and large grey gap sweatshirt. "You do know I'm going to carry you down the stairs, correct?"
She rolled her eyes and let Phil carry her down the stairs and out to the garage. "I'm walking into the doctor's office by myself, got it?"
"Anything you want?" He said helping her get into the passenger seat. He closed the door and got into the drivers seat.
Fifteen minutes later the couple pulled into the parking lot of the Pickford Medical Center. Phil helped Keely from the car and laughed as she pushed pasted him. Phil finally caught up grabbed onto her hand. Keely smiled and shook her head. Phil held open the door for her as she walked in. She walked up to the receptionist and smiled. "Hi, Keely Diffy."
"Alright, take a seat and I'll get you when the doctor's ready." Keely turned around to sit down, but she felt a hand on her shoulder, so she turned and became face to face with Dr. Deon.
"Keely, I was just coming to see if you were here." He nodded to Phil who smiled at him. "Alright, will you both come back with me?" He led the way to a back observation room. Keely grabbed onto Phil's hand and didn't let go when Dr. Deon asked her to get onto the table. Phil had to pull back Keely's shirt, because she was too zoned out to listen. Dr. Deon squeezed the creamy colored gel onto Keely's stomach and she finally came to. She cringed and Phil watched as tears fell from her eyes.
"Hey Keel, what's wrong." She looked up at him and whipped her falling tears with the back of her hand.
"W-what?" She smiled. "Oh, I'm okay, just excited."
Phil tightened the grip on her hand and watched as the doctor rolled the sensor over his wife's pregnant stomach. The doctor stopped and looked encouragingly at the couple. "Do you remember when I said that the baby was looking a bit big for its age about three months ago?" They nodded. "We'll both babies are looking great and they're the right size, actually…"
"Both?" Keely and Phil said in unison, cutting Dr. Deon off. "There are two?" Keely let go of Phil's hand and sat up on her elbows.
"Two babies?" She asked. Dr. Deon nodded and rolled the ultrasound over her stomach.
"Let's see, I know you want to know the babies sex, so I'm going to right it down on a piece of paper and stick it in an envelope for you to take home." He scribbled something down fast and stuck it in a plain white envelope. Keely cringed again. Both she and Phil were speechless.
"Is there anything Keely can do to keep her and the baby safe?" Phil asked, while coming to his senses.
"Well actually, I'm surprised." Dr. Deon raised a hand to his brow. "Are you sure that you two conceived six months ago?" He asked with worry.
"Umm, yes, that's what you told us." Keely said with force. "Are you telling me that I'm less, or more, than six months pregnant?"
"More, by far, Keely, you could have your babies at any day now." The doctor said happily.
"Um, alright," Keely got off the table after wiping her stomach with a rag. Keely walked out the door followed by Phil who was looking at her with suspicion.
The entire ride home was quiet. Keely held the envelope in her hands, and she wanted so badly to tear it open. Phil pulled into the driveway and parked the car in the garage. He gladly helped Keely up the stairs of the basement. And secretly, she needed the help. He smiled as they got into the kitchen. "Okay Keely, are you ready to find out what we're having?" He asked while rubbing his hands together.
"Phil, we don't have names, and apparently I could give birth at any moment." She started to sob. Phil pulled her into the living room where she sat down on the couch and cried into Phil's shoulder. "I don't want our children to be nameless and bed less."
Phil rubbed her back and held the back of her head. "Hey, don't worry about it Keel. I still have the Wizard. We can use the Wizard to do everything, you can even do it."
"Phil, but I thought you said we were going to be normal 2016 people. No futuristic gadgets!" Keely crossed her arms and sobbed harder.
Phil kissed her head. "Keel, I think in this case we can make an exception." He smiled and took the envelope from her hands. "Alright, are you going to open this, or am I?"
"I'll open it, only after you tell me why I'm six months pregnant, but in my nine month term?" Keely snatched the envelope and re crossed her arms.
"Well, in the future, the whole baby making period only takes six months. I didn't think it would affect us, considering, well actually, I have no idea." Phil kissed her forehead. "I just hope our babies have all ten toes." He laughed, but Keely glared at him. (Scientists really do think that in the future it will only take six months to make a baby!)
"Phil, that's so, not funny." Keely started to tear open the envelope. "I don't want my babies to be made fun of." She pulled out of the sheet of paper, but kept it covered in her hands.
"Don't worry I won't." Phil said jokingly.
Keely rubbed the top of his head. "Yeah I know, you're my biggest baby." She rubbed Phil's nose with the back of her pointing finger, once. "I'm ready to look now, are you?"
"Yeah, flip it over." Keely eyed Phil and than flipped over the paper. Phil kept his eyes on Keely as her eyes started to water. She smiled and looked up at Phil. She dropped the paper on the floor and embraced him with the biggest hug. She completely fell on him sobbing happily.
"Oh my God, Phil." She leaned back and Phil wiped her eyes.
"Oh my God what?" He asked. "Keels, what are we having?"
She smiled more and stopped crying. "Let me just say you're so out numbered."
Phil grabbed Keely and pulled her back into his chest. "Two girls? Keely that's amazing!" Phil pushed his mouth against his wife's and neither of them pulled away until they were both completely out of breath. "I bet you really want to get started on the nursery now?" He said in awe.
"I do, but first we have to call your parents, and Pim, and my mom." She said grabbing the phone.
"Alright, you tell them, I'm going to go get the Wizard. I'll meet you in the nursery." Phil walked away and trudged up two flights of stairs and the ladder from the attic. "Why do we have such a big house?" He said to himself quietly. He flipped on the light to the furnished attic and grabbed a box that said 2055. He pried open the box and carefully removed items until he found the Wizard. He replaced the other items, turned off the light, and trudged back down stairs. This time, only one flight. Right across from his and Keely's bed room was the room they were going to use for the nursery.
It was quite big for a nursery. There were other rooms that Keely wanted to use for the kids bedrooms, when they got older, but because it was so close to their room, it worked. The only item in the room was a wooden rocking chair with a white cushion, for padding. Phil sat down in the chair and turned the Wizard on. He scrolled through all of the categories until he found items for babies. Of course it had everything from future equipment to present and past things for babies. Phil looked up at the door just as Keely walked in.
"Hey, come and sit down." Phil pulled Keely down onto his lap. He handed her the Wizard. "Pick anything you want and push the side green button."
"Does it cost anything?" Keely laughed. "Not that it matters." She said thinking back to what Barb had said to her earlier.
"Technically, no, it doesn't cost anything." Phil watched her browse through all of the baby supplies. "That's the wonder or being from the future. It cost a billion dollars to buy the Wizard, but it pays of when you want to take things out of it."
"Phil, are we aloud to get any of the futuristic gadgets for the babies from the Wizard?" She asked as she stopped on an automatic rocker and television set specified for babies.
"Sorry Keel, not until it's invented." Keely nodded and continued to flip through. Within the next half hour, Keely had picked out everything, from infant diapers to two matching cribs. The paint she picked out for the walls was a light pale pink. Phil aimed the point of the wizard at the wall, and the color magically appeared.
Keely gasped. "It's such a good color. Not bright, but very pink." She touched the wall from the rocker. "And it's dry. It doesn't even have the nasty paint smell." She smiled and kissed Phil square on the lips. "I guess all we have left to do know is organizing it all."
"Right, you sit and you tell me where you want everything." Phil smiled as she groaned.
She nodded. "Okay, first we need to move the chair over to the corner of the room, away from the window." Keely stood up for a brief second as Phil moved the rocker over to the window.
"Where do you want the cribs?" Phil asked as Keely sat back down.
Thinking for a moment, she sat up quickly as an idea popped into her head. "Put the cribs' three feet away from each other on the left wall with the feet of the beds facing the right wall." She instructed. "The changing table should be over in the corner to the left of me."
Phil moved the furniture and looked at Keely. "Like this?" He said pointing to the left wall.
"Yup, and the baby wipes and diapers should be put on the shelf in the changing table along with the burping blankets." Keely threw Phil the four boxes lay on the floor next to her. "Okay, on the shelves in the closet, you know what, I'll do the closet." Keely said standing.
"Wait Keel, first let me put down the pink rug you picked out, and than we can talk about names." Phil set up the rug, than joined Keely in the rocker. "I have a really good idea, but first we have to decide on names."
"Phil," Keely paused. He face was full of sorrow. "I haven't thought of any names yet." She confessed.
"I know, but we can talk about it, can't we?" He pulled a book out of his back pocket. "I bought this yester while waiting in line at the supper market."
It was a baby name booklet. It was titled, The Easy Way to Name Your Child. Keely smiled. "Thanks Phil, I actually have a couple names that sounded good, but, I want to see what they mean." She took the book from Phil's hand and flipped through.
"What were the names?" He asked.
"Kailey, which means," Keely skimmed her finger down a page in the book. "Laurel and Crown. It comes from America and it has a four out of five rating."
"That's nice, but I don't like how it's so close to your own name." Phil peered down at the page. "What else do you like?"
"Hm, what about Paige?" She said hearing the ring to the name. "It's from the French origin and it means assistant." Keely groaned. "Never mind that name."
"What about Summer?" He asked seriously.
"No way, that's like copying that TV show on Fox." Keely said offended. (Tehe)
"Alright," He said letting go. "What about Page? It's the same as yours, but it means consisting of smarts and has no origin."
"I love it, it's so pretty. And, it totally works." Keely thought for a moment. "Do you think she'll get made fun of?" She asked seriously.
"I highly doubt it. Page is such a pretty name. All the other kids will be jealous." Phil and Keely laughed.
"Alright, so the first one out is Page." Keely said as she ended her laughing spasm. "One kid down and one kid to go."
"Okay, you think and I'll think." Phil and Keely looked down at the book as they went page by page. (Lol this kid has it in for her)
Five minutes went by and the couple looked up at each other. "What about Grace?" She asked.
"Nah, Grace is to girly." Phil said with a tint of disgust.
Keely laughed, with a bit of anger. "Well she would be a girl."
"I know, but Page is already, girly, and she's going to be your little girl, so, my little girl is going to have to be more tom- boyish." Phil said almost offended.
"Phil," She said cringingly. "Are kids will become whoever they want to, we are not going to control that. And both of our kids are going to be mommy's and daddy's girls, so chill."
"But on the other hand," she continued. "The second girl can have what ever name we decided on. So, keep thinking." She grabbed the book from Phil's hands and continued looking through. "Hey, look here," She said surprised. "Keely means beautiful."
Phil smiled. "Well, whoever made this book is so right." He kissed Keely's neck and smiled into her back. "What does Phil mean?"
Keely laughed when she found it. "Lover of horses." She laughed and Phil joking laughed.
"Thanks mom," he said to the walls. "Alright, shall we continue?"
Ten more minutes went by and Keely and Phil both had one special name in the back of their head that they were saving until the very end. "Alright," They said in unison.
"You got one?" Phil asked. Keely nodded.
"Do you have one?" Keely asked. Phil nodded. "Alright, on the count of three, we both spill."
"One, Two, Three." Phil shouted.
"Madison!" They shouted at the same time. They laughed.
"It means high tower." Keely said with awe. "It means stand above all."
"I love it!" Phil added.
"Alright, Page and Madison it is." Phil pulled Keely into a passionate kiss. When they pulled away, they were both smiling crazily.
"Great, so look at this." Phil fiddled with the Wizard and two wrapped packages appeared on her lap. Phil moved out from under her lap.
Quickly Keely opened up each package. Keely cried when she saw what they were. "I know how you hate it when girls use other girls' clothes, so each of our daughters will have their clothes separated with their names." The packages were two wooden stenciled names. One said Page and the other said Madison. Keely hugged Phil around the neck. She stood up and walked over to the closet. She placed the name markers on the floor and began separation the clothes into piles, one for Page and one for Madison.
"I love when twins have individuality." Keely placed the clothing on the split shelves while Phil set the names above each shelf.
"And that's what I call individuality!" Phil cheered and Keely embraced him!
So tell me what you thought about the first chapter!
