Chapter eight

The doctor came by early the next morning to pick up mother. Shayla was cooking a big lunch for when father came home and John and Peter were watching Nicola and doing all the chores at the same time. Soon father came home. All the children rushed to meet him. They were so excited that her was home!! When he got inside he asked where was mother? "You said she wasn't feeling well, and she just got sicker and sicker so the Doctor came by and said she needed to have her appendix taken out," John said. Father ate a bite then rushed to the hospital to see mother. Hours passed and John, Shayla, Peter, and Nicola were getting restless. After what seemed like forever, father came home-with mother!!! He gave them the happy news that mother's surgery had gone well, and that she was going to have a baby! All the children nearly screamed with excitement! They were one happy family!
