Having come home on Saturday,
the next day both families got together for dinner on Sunday.
It seemed like all the family
and a host of friends were there to welcome Charles and Edie home. The food was
set out on tables where everyone could help themselves and then try to find a
place to sit and eat.
After dinner Edie stood up
and gave a run down of all they did, at least all of the sight seeing and
people they had met.
She was hoping that by doing
a short speech, it would eliminate the need to be collared and questioned by
different individuals and having to tell the same story over.
Alas there were still some
questions the ladies just had to ask. She knew they would be of a personal
nature, and she was ready with several “none of your business” type answers.
Charles told her, “I don't
want to have a family too soon; I would prefer to wait awhile.” Edie said, “Maybe you should have thought of
that before the honeymoon.”
He gasped and said, “You are
not pregnant already are you?”
She smiled and said, “Probably
not but you know how babies get here don't you?
That night he was determined
to restrain himself for he wasn't ready for kids, but around ten o'clock he
thought maybe kids won't be so bad after all.
All this time Edie had been
teasing Charles and found him to be somewhat uninformed in some areas
especially about birth control.
Prior to the wedding she had
made an appointment with her doctor and inquired about the latest information as
to what people were using for delaying starting a family.
Edie pretty well knew all about the subject, but she wanted up to date information on the newest devices.
When she showed Charles what
she had acquired from the chemist he wondered where he had been, not to know
all about this.
This solved a problem for him
because with the business just getting started; he needed to be focused on making
it a success.
Days, weeks, and months went
by and after three years he told Edie, “I think its time for us to start our
family and she agreed with him.”
Edie held a responsible
position in an accounting firm, and was on moving up as fast as they would
allow her to. However her maternal
instincts had over ruled her desire to be a successful business woman.
Over the next five years they
had three children, two boys and a baby girl.
The grandparents tried to
spoil them but Edie wouldn't allow them to go too far.
She wondered about the future
and if any one of them would take after their father for by now she was
convinced he was the perfect man.
The End
