Johnathan waited for the inevitable question: Boy or girl? He was actually wondering himself, when he thought about it.

Megan looked at both of us, then nodded. "Alright, I figured you would say that." she handed me something. "Since I won't be paying for anything, I'm giving you this." I looked at it and almost passed out. It was 500 dollars, in cash.

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/2/2010, 10:28 pm

Johnathan made sure Liz didn't fall over, holding her shoulders firmly. "Thanks, Megan."
Colin gaped at the money like an idiot, his jaw hanging completely open.

"You're welcome." Then she turned and headed into her room, probably to do some computer work or something. I looked at Jonathan, my eyes wide. "Five hundred..." I mumbled.

He sighed. "I'll have to get a pretty good, paying job for us to support the baby." He picked up a newspaper and started looking at the Classifieds.

by **littletoes101** 6/2/2010, 10:35 pm

"Jonathan, I have 170 dollars saved up from my previous babysitting career, 100 from my dogwalking job, 200 from cat training, and now 500 from Megan. That already gives us 970 dollars." I told him reassuringly. [THANK GOD FOR ONLINE CALCULATOR.]

(xD Niice, Seot.)

"Yes, but we'll have to buy clothes, food, and constant diapers." He argued.

by **littletoes101** 6/2/2010, 10:40 pm

"You're right," I told him. I then sighed. "You might be able to take over my cat training and dogwalking jobs. Cat training pays 15 an hour and dogwalking pays 20."

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/2/2010, 11:15 pm

He nodded. "Got it."
"I'll do the cat training." Colin volunteered.

by **littletoes101** 6/2/2010, 11:18 pm

"You? Cat training?" I burst out laughing. "You don't know one thing about how hard it is to train a cat! It'd be harder than training you!"

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/2/2010, 11:20 pm

He flushed angrily. "Fine. Laugh at me for trying to help."

by **littletoes101** 6/2/2010, 11:21 pm

"Sorry, its just, training a cat takes a harder, more persistent and firmer hand than training a dog. Without the proper backup, a cat won't learn anything."

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/2/2010, 11:24 pm

"Whatever." He turned from Liz, angry.

by **littletoes101** 6/2/2010, 11:26 pm

I sighed, knowing I didn't mean to upset him, but knowing that my words would probably fall on deaf ears. [wanna timeskip a little bit to after the first day of school?]

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/2/2010, 11:27 pm

(Sure.)

Johnathan returned the last cat to its owner and rushed to Liz's house. He hoped she was doing okay. No pains, or anything.

by **littletoes101** 6/2/2010, 11:31 pm

I watched him rush in. "Jonathan, I'm fine," I told him. "Anyway, Mom's taking us to the hospital later today."

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/3/2010, 5:56 pm

He nodded. "To take a ultrasound test?"

by **littletoes101** 6/3/2010, 6:09 pm

"Yeah," I told him, grinning.

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/3/2010, 6:16 pm

"We'll finally know what gender our baby will be." He said, smiling.

by **littletoes101** 6/3/2010, 6:34 pm

"I know!" I smiled. "That's been bothering me for a while..." I told him, then looked down at the notebook in my lap. I had gone through a large list of baby names, then finally decided on Valor if it was a boy and Rosibell if it were a girl.

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/3/2010, 6:48 pm

"Rosibell is nice." He noted, looking at the notebook as well. "But if she looks like something else, that will be her name."

by **littletoes101** 6/3/2010, 6:49 pm

I nodded. "Her first name should be Karalynne though, if its a girl that is. That's a family tradition, I didn't start it, I'm just supposed to uphold it." I met his eyes. "No matter what gender, we'll still love it."

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/3/2010, 6:51 pm

"Karalynne Rosibell. That's a nice name."

by **littletoes101** 6/3/2010, 6:56 pm

"You really think so?" I asked. Suddenly, Micheal opened the door. "Mom's home, c'mon!" he shouted, darting back out the door.

by **Mrs. Twarry Matsuda** 6/3/2010, 7:08 pm

Jonathan stood up as well, holding out a hand to help Liz stand up.
