“Maybe, but without you I wouldn’t get to be a da to our Alby.” Murphey said, still grinning as he got up and set to offer a hand to Biddy to help her hop off the table.

“Let’s hope your folks express the same enthusiasm.” Biddy chuckled, accepting his hand.

“Oh, they can be cross with me all they want, but I promise they’ll love our Alby girl.” Murphey said with a chuckle.

((FF))

A few hours had passed since the appointment and Murphey had not stopped smiling the entire time. He was admittedly nervous about telling his folks about Biddy being pregnant with his babe, but after seeing their baby, his girl, his Alby, he couldn’t be more excited to share his joy.

He had called his folks and set up a little dinner date for the four of them. He’d taken Biddy home to get herself ready and rest before going to gather her up again so they could head over to the O’Rourke family home.

It was a quaint little place, as most places were in Demont. A little brick house with cute painted trim, a big front yard with a sturdy oak with a less than sturdy tire swing hanging from it. Murphey parked his car behind his father’s in the drive and looked over to Biddy.

“Have you got the pictures?” He asked.

“What would you have done had I forgot them?” Biddy asked with a grin, pulling the envelope out of her inside coat pocket.

“I suppose call them from right where we’re parked and cancel.” Murphey joked with a shrug.

“Lucky you don’t have to. “ Biddy grinned as she unbuckled.

“I think you mean lucky you. My mam makes the best chicken stew and it would have been a shame for you to miss out on it.” Murphey chuckled as he went ahead and got out of the car. He waited for Biddy at the front of the vehicle so they could head up together.

Biddy met Murphey around the front and strode along beside him, stepping in time with him.

“What if I was vegetarian?” Biddy asked then grinning.

“Did I say chicken stew? I meant soda bread.” Murphey joked as hey headed to the front door. He didn’t bother knocking, as it was the family home, and immediately stepped in with Biddy. “Da, Mam, I’m here! With company!” He called out.

The inside of the house was just as quaint as the outside. There was older looking furniture, some that had been well lived in, and a million family photos that were a mix of old and new hung in mismatched frames in the entryway. The walls looked like they’d been freshly painted, though a piece of wall still stood with the original paint with what appeared to be heights marked upon its surface. Apparently Murphey had never been quite so little.

As Murphey entered, he kicked off his shoes and gestured for Biddy to do the same. Just as he finished taking off his shoes, a small red headed woman appeared out from the kitchen. Like Murphey, she had a long straight nose and startling blue eyes. She had his light freckles too, but certainly lacked his height. Immediately she looked from Murphey to Biddy, smiling.

“Murphey, you silly boy, introduce me. You hardly even gave your friend a name over the phone.” She playfully scolded.

“Mam, this is Biddy Chickweed. I met her at the wedding a few months back. Biddy, this is my mam, Claire O’Rourke.” Murphey introduced.

She kicked off her boots at the door and scooted them beside Murphey's before looking up to greet his Mother. Biddy smiled warmly and offered her hand out to Claire. "Very good to meet you, how's the form?" Biddy greeted, per traditional customs. Biddy was quite tall herself so she bent slightly when offering her hand to Claire.

“Oh my! Murphey, it’s about time you brought us home a nice Irish lass.” Claire practically lit up as she took Biddy’s hand for a shake. “Chickweed you said? You aren’t Connor and Quinn’s girl are you?”

“Aye, that I am.” Biddy nodded proudly.

“Oh my! Look at yeh! Of course you are!” Claire laughed. “Back when we still lived in Ireland, I’d come down from Dalkey to visit Eoghan and his family while we were dating. I remember your mam having just had your brother when I found out I was pregnant with my Murphey.”

“Couldn’t ave been my Mom, Billy’s adopted.” Biddy said, joking of course. “I’ll tell my mam I’ve visited ya, she’ll be glad you’re carrying on.” She added.

“Tell her I send my best. What am I doing? Come take a seat in the kitchen and visit. Dinner’s almost done. Eoghan, come here will yeh?” Claire called to the living room.

Murphey chuckled and went to follow Biddy and Claire into the kitchen.

“What’re you doing here, Biddy?” Claire asked.
