Cheyenne is 23, Steven is 24, Munchkin is 1

It was the day of my appointment, enough time had passed that the test should come out definite. I was nervous and I couldn't tell you why, this wasn't my first time but hopefully it would be my last. I didn't want to be older with young children! I wanted to actually enjoy retirement. 

I arrive 30 minutes early like I was told but Dr. Ram saw me right away, perks of being mayor. 

Dr. Ramwasmi: Well Madam Mayor, you are pregnant. From what I've seen you appear to be 1 day shy of a week. That puts your due date on or around May 8th. 

Dr. Ramwasmi chuckles to himself.

:That means you will be having this baby the same day you had you son, very rare.

I share his smiles and laughs, rare indeed, like the fact that I was pregnant. What the fuck was birth control for if it didn't work?

Cheyenne: When would be the right time to talk about a permeant solution to never getting a pregnant again?

Dr, Ramwasmi looked shocked, which shocked me. He should of seen this coming, I was very clear that I didn't want kids after getting pregnant in my last few months of college with Munch. I was careless but that all changed and I went on birth control that seemed to have failed me. Dr. Ramwasmi was still quiet which was plucking my nerves.

Dr. Ramwasmi: I could take your uterus out but that is a very dangerous thing to do so soon after a baby, and now two. 

I roll my eyes. 

"Do what you have to do!"

We agree to discuss it further as my due date gets near, I think he is hoping I will chicken out but I have never been scared of anything in my life. I leave feeling a tad better that this won't happen again. 

On my way out the door Lora walks in.

C: Hey hunnie, Oh you're pregnant as well?

Lora smile and nods. She looks excited to go through this for a 5th time. Something is seriously wrong with that woman. 

L: I am, due May 6th! I don't feel so early since I look like a whale. 

C: What a strange cowikidink. I am due on the 8th of that month and if you're a whale what the hell am I?

Giggles and chatter were had before my nanny sent me a text letting me know my mother had just gotten to the house and she would be heading out shortly. I wave bye to Lora, we were becoming fast friends and I was okay with it. 

C: Mommy! I have some news that will excite you!

Lisa: Oh, what's that baby?

C: I am pregnant!

My mom jumps up and down before pulling me into a tight hug. She loved Munch with all her heart and was excited at the thought of becoming a grandparent for the second time.

L: How far along are you! I would of never guessed, you look great. 

C: You are too kind but you couldn't tell the first time. I am 4 days along now and I am due on May 8. 

L; What a strange cowikidink. 

C: THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

The talking is cut short by my sister getting off the bus in front of my house. It was often now a days that she came here after school instead of going home. I know it had to be lonely in that apartment by herself while my mom was at work. 

C: Hey baby, come here I gotta tell you something. 

I fill her in on my pregnancy which gets her excited and then the real gossip begins. My sister met someone, she won't tell me who but so far they get along so great. 

Before too long my mom ushers my sister out of my hair claiming I must be tired and babies. The minute they leave I grow sad, I miss them already. Even though they live across the river, if I had it my way they would be my neighbors, I miss living with them and being crazy with them all the time. 

SJ: No mommy, I don't wanna go inside. Play!

I roll my eyes at my bratty but incredibly cute son. 

C: Fine, 30 more minutes out here and then it is inside. It will be getting really cold shortly and mama has to start dinner. 

I watch my son hoot and holler on his horse for another 40 minutes waiting for my husband to get home. I was getting anxious to tell him the news. 

In bed with the wrong people

315 Mayor Lane

Cheyenne is 23, Steven is 24, Steven jr is 1

Cheyenne thought the helicopter was a bit much, Moon Island was a freaking island it didn't warrant a helicopter to work. A very short ferry ride, maybe but not all of this. Cheyenne could only think of all the taxes dollars that were being wasted but she was also grateful to have a ride because if she had to 'swim' to work like the last mayor she might have already quit. 

While Cheyenne was complaining about taxes dollars and helicopters Steven was getting munchkin ready for daycare. 

Steven: Alright buddy, drink your milk and then we are off okay? Mommy will pick you up tonight.

Steven Jr just smiled at his daddy. He understood what his daddy was saying but he didn't get why there was so much rush. His parents were always in a rush in the morning. 

After Steven got home from work so he could take care of Jr, Cheyenne went to the new community garden that had just been open. She was very pleased with what she saw. Everything look mouth watering and now everyone in town could have fresh food when they wanted it. Call her a socialist but when you lived on a small island and your closest town was BWS which was 120 miles away the food stopped being so fresh. 

Upon returning home Missy was waiting for the mayor. Cheyenne sighed, Missy was always drama.

Missy: Oh Chey, I'm glad I caught you. I need to speak to you about our little crime problem.. 

Cheyenne rolled her eyes, The Wool family has had problems with the Bishops for a while now. As Chey heard it, it was all over a misunderstanding. 

Cheyenne: If you are going to keep accusing them of being in the Crime business I am going to need some proof Missy. I can't and WONT just make a very wealthy family, whom by the way funded the new daycare in town as well as the community garden,  leave town because your wife claims the young Donnie boy hit her and then Mr. Bishop threatened her. If these things are true, how come she didn't go to the police? Where are the marks? 

Missy rolled her eyes, it was a well known fact that Cheyenne had ties to the Bishops. What a crook mayor. 

Missy: Whatever Mayor Cheyenne! No matter what I or my family say you will always take their side but just you wait, I am going to become powerful enough to stop them and YOU!

Cheyenne didn't take to threats to kindly and stepped closer to the older woman. 

Cheyenne: You are in your mid to late 30s and are at the bottom of the rung as far as politics go, I would watch who you threaten, especially seeing as you just accused the Bishops of this very thing Missy Nicole Wool.

Missy hightailed it off the Mayors' porch faster then she ever had before and got home in record time. Missy had made a grave mistake, one she might pay dearly for. 

Everything went all good until the next morning when Cheyenne started to feel sick, The feeling was familiar and she knew she needed to get to the hospital for a test. This was not in her plans but what could she do about it now. 

Cheyenne didn't want to tell her husband until she was 100 percent sure, she knew he would be excited and she just didn't want to deal with it. She instead focused on her son, Teaching him to walk was most important to her at the moment. He was getting way to big to carry everywhere now. 

Cheyenne: Good job mommys' sweet boy. You'll be running around here in no time but please take your time. 

 September was coming to a close which means Cheyenne first month in office was almost over. It was surreal. She had an appointment for the hospital on October 1st. Hopefully they would tell her what she wanted to know.
