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.

Deborah got nervous about the time her father came home. How would he react to her presence? She was unsure of what to suspect. When he came through the door she was just standing near the table. She just stood there unsure what to do. He looked at her, gave her a little nod and went to her mother to great her. Deborah was slightly relieved. After all, he didn't yell at her. But the nod was not much.

During diner she paid attention to Peter and Kaitlyn like she had never left. She just rolled back into the role she once had and it was just like old times. After diner she put Peter in his crib. It was a bit searching for how he liked things at the moment but she tried to remember all the little habits so she could do it right the next day.

Putting Kaitlyn in bed was even harder. Her eight year old sister was smart and wasn't ready to give up some things she liked. Deborah heard some things she rather didn't hear. She really had to work to get Kaitlyn to listen to her. It was nice to sit down at the kitchentable when she was done. Now it was time to play the game she got from Phillip and Alicia with her siblings. They all looked forward to playing it.

Next morning Jacob Valor is aged up
