CHAPTER 27: BREAKING NEWS
"I guess, it is always super nerve wracking and exciting, sharing the news of the first baby with parents- the soon to be grandma and grandpa. I hope they will not be angry with me," Audrey nervously thought.

"What are these for, Audrey?" asked Mrs. Lucy Blaydes as Audrey entered her home.
"Mom and Dad, read what is written on the balloons," Audrey said.
