What's wrong Riley?

August 2009

Riley: Mommy why do I have to share you?

Topanga: Because your baby brother needs a Mommy too and that's me

Riley: At first I wanted to be a big sister, but now I change my mind

Maya: You can't change your mind Riley

Topanga: Maya is right

Riley: Why not

Topanga: Its not how it works. This baby was given to us. A special gift for our family

Riley: Was I a special gift?

Topanga: Yes and you still are. You're our only daughter which should make you happy

Riley: What if the baby doesn't like me?

Maya: Everyone likes you Riley

Riley: My baby brother might not

Topanga: He will love you. Now go get your father so we can go school supply shopping for you

Riley: OK come on Maya

Maya and Riley run to the rooms

Topanga: *caresses her belly* Once Riley meets you she will love you baby boy *a sharp pain goes through her body* UH OH OH GOSH

Cory, Riley, and Maya walk in

Cory: Topanga what's wrong? Why are you hunched over like this?

Topanga: Its a contraction and not the ones I've been having for a few days this feels like labor

Cory: *eyes widen* You're in labor?

Topanga: *feels a warm liquid run down her legs* Yeah my water just broke

Cory: OK let me call Mrs. Svorski so she can watch the girls *runs to the phone*

Riley: What's wrong Mommy?

Topanga: Seems like your baby brother wanted to meet you early

Riley: He's coming?

Topanga: Yep *feels another contraction* Oooh that one hurt

Maya: Why does it hurt?

Topanga: Its a part of having a baby. I'll be OK girls so will the baby. Have a seat on the couch OK
