4 The joy of pregnancy




Yakko grabbed her phone and called Maiko. Maiko and Isuzu were very happy about it. They promised not to reveal anything to Joe yet. Yakko lay awake tonight and missed Joe very much.

Joe, she thought I miss you so much and soon I'll be fatter. Our baby grows inside of me. Hashito and Juliano had been sleeping for a long time. She finally fell asleep too. The next day she read the newspaper. There was a new rumor: "Bee Hive will stay in America longer". Yakko missed Joe and she hoped he would be back with her soon. Today she met with Maiko. They were talking over tea. Yakko, if there's anything to that rumor, you have to tell Joe you're pregnant. Yes, I'm thinking how to start. But I'm going to start a letter tonight. When Yakko and Maiko said goodbye, she went back to work. She worked hard, Yakko, you stop working immediately, Shigemaru shouted sternly to her. He was worried. Go pick up Hashito.

Tonight I'm going to write Joe a long letter, she thought as she picked Hashito up from kindergarten. Mom, will Joe be back soon? Hashito asked her every day. Hashito it was Joe's dream to be on stage in America. We both miss him very much. But he'll be back soon. Come on, Hashito, let's go home and have a nice meal.

Later she sat at the desk and thought about what to write. Then it began: My dearest Joe!

I miss you a lot and I can hardly stand it without you. The days with you in America. beautiful. Hashito asks for you every day, whether you've written or called.
There is a rumor in the newspaper: Are you really going to stay in America longer? Joe, I miss your voice, your kisses, and your tenderness. We need you. I need you especially now and I want you to be here. There is great news and I really wanted to tell you personally. I want to look in the face, to see your movement, in your face, what you think and feel. My angels, I would love to lie in your arms now. Come back soon, then I can show you something. Oh Joe, if you read this, I hope you come back home and don't extend your stay in America. Joe, i'm pregnant. I'm in my second month. I love you See you soon your Yakko

A small tear ran down her cheek and dripped onto the notepaper. Hashito was lying in bed and crooked, Juliano was lying on top of him. It's a cute picture to see both of them like that. Yakko ran quickly to the post office and arrived in time before the shop closed. This letter has to get to my husband in America quickly. Then they have to send it by priority mail. She did and quickly went home and snuggled into her bed.

Joe lay in bed and dreamed of Yakko. Yes he missed her. He wants to write her another letter tomorrow. Sammy knocked on the door, Joe said he."Come on, let's go eat something. Joe got up: I'm coming on,


You could tell that the Bee Hive needed a break. Joe had circles under his eyes and looked bad. No wonder with the mammoth program that they did every day.

Today after the concert Joe was very tired and wanted to go to bed. On the way to the room, he picked up his mail. When he got to the room he put the mail on his bed, undressed and took a shower. That was good, he thought. But of course his thoughts were with his wife. Oh Yakko, it's a shame you're not here anymore. He looked through the mail. A letter from Yakko. At last ! he thought. He opened the letter and found it was blurred. Yakko must have been crying, he thought, leave her the sweet lines. When he read that she was pregnant, he was really happy. Oh, they had an offer to stay longer. They all wanted to think about it. Joe had to speak to Sammy. Immediately, he wanted to go home as soon as possible. They needed a break. In the past few months, they had given a concert every day. Joe's voice suffered as well, Sammy, can I speak to you? Yes, come in Joe, he said to his friend. I want to fly home next week after the last concert and not extend the tour. Joe, looked at his friend. Sammy: You are right. Bee Hieve is taking a two-week break in Japan. He discussed the new plans with her manager.
