Chapter 10

(Eight months has past.)

“Ed is going to take me out for awhile. I have been working hard here at my office non-stop. He wants to treat me with something but what I have no idea.” Said Nancy as waddles into the kitchen. “I really like him Nancy, he is treating you like a princess. With all the flowers.” Said Henry. Nancy blushes a bit and replies, “Yes, he is so sweet. He even talks to my belly. I can tell he loves kids.”

“There are more appointments on the forum Nancy, I wrote back to them saying you are only doing half days.” Said Brandon. Nancy replies “Thanks Brandon, being pregnant and doing that is very tiring now.”

There was a knock on the door. Diane answers it. “Hi Ed please come in. Nancy will be there shortly.” Diane said. She goes to the kitchen. “Ed is here Nancy.” Nancy nods her head and gets up. “Thanks Diane. I will see you later.” Nancy said as she waddles into the living room.

“Hi sweetheart.” Said Ed as he kissed her when she came into the room. Then he rub Nancy’s belly to say hi to the baby. “Are you ready?” He asks as he helps Nancy to put her coat on. “Yes I am. Where are we going?” Nancy asks Ed. “It is a surprise Nancy.” Ed replies. They leave the house.

(Later at a park. At a picnic table.)

“I thought we would have a picnic then walk around for a bit. You been so busy doing your job at the Spa and the one you are doing at your home. You need some fresh air.” Ed said. Nancy smiles and replies, “I agree there, I am going to take some days off until the baby is born.”

(Later after the picnic stuff is put away.)

“Wow Ed I didn’t know you can cook that well.” Said Nancy as they start walking. Ed smiles “I love to cook as well. I have some bad news. The company that Bert and I work for is closing. They are not as busy as we once were. I talked to the cleaning people and they would love to stay working for you. Bert has other another job. I am going to stay as your handy man Nancy.”

Nancy was shocked to hear about the company closing. “That is sad. I wish Bert good luck on his next job. He will be missed. I am glad the cleaning people are staying they do great job. I am glad you are staying Ed.” Nancy said. Ed smiles. Nancy looks at him “Is there more?” Nancy asks Ed. He nods his head and pulls her towards their favorite spot near the lake.

Ed drops down to his knees and holds up a ring. “Nancy will you be my wife?” Ed asks her. Nancy was so surprised that she didn’t say anything at all for a few minutes. “Yes, I will be your wife.” Ed gets up and they kissed.

(Later that day.)

“Wow Nancy is sure out of it today.” Said Diane as she watches Nancy. Cindy looks at Nancy as well and notices a ring on her finger “Is that an engagement ring Nancy?” Cindy asks. Nancy jumps a bit blushes a bit and replies “Yes, Ed proposes to me today.”

Cindy went over and hugs Nancy and replies “I am so happy for you Nancy. I’ll bet it was a surprise.” Nancy nods her head yes. “He did it in our spot at the lake. I had no idea it was coming. He makes me so happy inside.” Nancy replies.

“Do you know when the wedding will be Nancy?” asks Brandon. Nancy shakes her head no. “We want the baby to be born.” Replies Nancy. Nancy notices Diane almost asleep. “Diane what’s wrong?” Nancy asks her. Diane wakes up startled for a moment.

“I am having problems sleeping.” Replies Diane a bit sleepy. Nancy goes over and feels Diane head. You don’t have a fever. Are you having nightmares?” Nancy asks Diane. She nods her head yes and replies “It has been happening every night. I can’t remember the dream at all.”

Cindy is worried. Nancy has a thought “We can try hypnosis you to see if we can get rid of this nightmare Diane?” Nancy asks. Diane nods her head yes. “Thanks Nancy, I am tired of waking up with this nightmare.” Nancy nods her head and they go to her office.

(Inside her office.)

“Diane, I will hypnosis you if that doesn’t work I will need to use the drugs on you.” Said Nancy. Diane nods her head yes. “You don’t need to worry you don’t need to sign anything. Are you ready?” Nancy asks Diane.

Diane nods her head yes again. “Please stand in front of me.” Nancy asks. Diane does was she was told. “Diane please look into my eyes, you are getting sleepy, you want to relax and you want to go to a place where you want to visit.” Nancy said. Diane looks into Nancy’s eyes but fails to get hypnosis. “So plan B then?” Diane asks Nancy.

“Yes.” Said Nancy as she gets the water ready. “Diane I want you to drink all of this not in one gulp. It will make you dizzy and light headed.” Nancy explains as she hands Diane the glass of water. Diane drinks the water and hands the cup back to Nancy. Nancy puts the cup down. “Diane pleases start walking around the room. Please stay away from the desk.” Diane does what is told. She starts to walk around the room. Nancy watches her until she sees that Diane is having problems walking. “Diane pleases stop walking.” Nancy Said.

Diane stops walking. Nancy goes over to her brings her to the couch. Nancy helps her to lie down. “Diane this drug will make you very sleepy. Please don’t fight it. ” Nancy said as she gives Diane the needle. Few minutes later Nancy notices Diane is almost out cold. “Diane please looks into my eyes.” Diane looks into Nancy eyes. Nancy continues, “Your body wants to relax, think of a place where you want to go. Your eyelids are getting very heavy they want to close. Let them close and relax.” Diane closes her eyes.

“Diane can your hear me?” Nancy asks her. “Yes I can.” Diane replies. “Please explain your nightmare.” Asks Nancy. Diane explains the dream. “Is that all of it?” Nancy asks. Diane replies “Yes.”

“Diane I am going to give you another drug. I will help you sleep for a while. When I think the time is right I will give you another one to wake you up. Don’t fight it, relax and dream of the place where you want.” Nancy gives Diane the drug and she watches her sleep. Cindy comes in the room and sees Diane sleeping peacefully. “How did it go?” Cindy asks.

Nancy explains the nightmare Diane had. “I don’t understand it.” Said Nancy puzzled over the nightmare. “Same here Nancy, how long are you going to keep her under?” Cindy asks Nancy. Nancy looks at the clock “Another two minutes then I will use the last drug to wake her up in the same way. Then she can sleep normally to let the rest of the drug wear off.” Nancy replies. Cindy nods her head yes and leaves the room.

Two minutes later Nancy uses the last drug on Diane. “Diane can you hear me?” asks Nancy. Diane replies “Yes I can.” Nancy replies “Diane listen to my words, your eyelids are not heavy any more they want to open. You will feel refresh after you dream vacation.” Diane eyes open she looks relax. “How do you feel?” asks Nancy to Diane.

“Good but I still feel sleepy from the drug. I still want to go to sleep.” Diane said. Nancy nods her head. “Yes, the drug will take awhile to leave your system. Don’t try to get up yet Diane, I am going to get Dad so he can carry to your bed. I want you to sleep until the drug is gone. You probably will sleep in a very deep sleep. I will check on you to make sure you will be all right. You will still feel dizzy as well.” Nancy replies to Diane. Diane nods her head yes. Nancy goes gets Henry. Henry carries Diane into her room.
