Hannah stands and applauds heartily with the rest of the audience, then heads towards her mother and Noriye to give them hugs and congradulate them.

"He is." I reply with a grin, then hug my daughter back and then step back as she hugs Noryie. Motioning for the Ambassador to come forward, it was time to meet.

"Congrats, you two!" Hannah smiles. "I'm gonna head home now. See you later, mom!" She waves and turns to catch up with her sister.

I watch Hannah go with a careless wave of her hands, then glance at Noriye. "So I hear Arman has become a real handful." I state matter-of-factly as we walk towards the Ambassador.

*sighs* "Oh, you have no idea. So that was Hannah, huh? Nice girl. I haven't seen her or Ally in ages."

I sigh dramatically. "Jim bought them both a car." I say outright. "Can you believe that? A car!" I exclaim. Then chuckle, "Though I will admit, atleast Hannah hasn't wrecked one yet. Ally has wrecked two or three."

*Eyes widen* "And you still let her drive?! *chuckles* Arman's been after us to give him a learner's permit, but I just don't know. I'm not sure if I trust that kid behind the wheel."

"It wasn't my decision to buy Ally a car." I said with a raised brow. "That was all Jim, and you know how he can be..spoiling those girls." Suddenly I lower my voice and stop in the middle of the hall. "Noriye, can you keep a secret?"

*Noriye is startled by the sudden seriousness in Jaimie's tone.*
"Of course, what's wrong?"

I look away for a moment, then back and smile somewhat wanly. "I'm pregnant." I respond in the lowest whisper possible. "I found out this morning."

*Noriye is stunned.*
"Wh...Wow! That's incredible Jaimie! Congratulations." *she hugs her*

*huggg* I sigh theatrically. "I'm 53 and going to become a mother again." I say, "I would've never thought I would be pregnant at this age."

"Yeah...that's amazing."
*She shakes her head, then looks back at Jaimie*
"Have you told Jim yet?"

With a nervous laugh I shake my head. "I'm going to tell him tomorrow, on his birthday." I reply, "I have this new dress picked out."
