Jack went to the World . "Joseph Pulitzer?" He asked for . Hannah , who was on the phone ,  nodded to him the direction to go . "Thank you "

Jack stood proud . He had to . This is a big deal . "Mr. Pulitzer?" Jack said knocking on the open office door . "Yes ?" He said . "Hello Mr. Pulitzer. " "Jack Kelly " "Mr. Pulitzer. I would like to renegotiate my contract " "What ?" "The pay if fine . To support two " "It should be ! You and Katherine are all you should be supporting !" "I do sir . But we need room for one more " "Kelly ! You better not be supporting any newsies ! Part of the contract was enough pay for two and we make better conditions in the lodging house !" "Mister Pulitzer. It's Katherine "

"What about Katherine ?" "Sir she's " Jack put his hand on his own stomach . Pulitzer's eyes went wide . A smile grew on his face . "She's pregnant?" Joseph said in a breathy voice . Jack nodded . "You're going to have a baby ?" He said . "Yes we are . I need time off so I can help her after the baby's birth and then some . So I need money for when I'm on leave sir " "of course you do ! I'll give you one month paid leave ! Go now !"

Jack chuckled . "Sir , she's not even showing yet " "Oh my ! Please take her out to a nice dinner !" He said taking out his wallet and putting down 100 .  "Sir are you sure ?" "Yes ! I am ! Go Jack ! Take today off ! Go spend time with my grandchild to be ! Grandchild? I'm gonna be a grandpa !" "You are " Jack said . Joseph stood up and hugged Jack .

Joseph Pulitzer would rarely give Jack a handshake but he hugged him ! He hugged Jack !

Jack smiled and went on his way .

Katherine walked to Medda's theatre  .  Katherine's skirt swished . She took a deep breath and walked in .

"Don't come a knocking on my door "
"Your not welcome here no more " the chorus girls sang . "Ugh ! Take it from the top . Sierra higher kick ! Lindsay sing lower ! Laura smile more ! Your happy ! Not a dead fish !" She said . "Medda ?" Katherine said , she was slightly scared . "Katherine! What a surprise! What can I do you for ?" "Can we talk in private Medda ?" "Of course . Sierra , Lindsay , and Laura . Your lucky . Take five . I better see more smiles , happier kicks , and singing higher " "Yes Mrs. Larkin " they said together and then ran off the stage .

Katherine and Medda walked into her office . "What's wrong dear ?" Medda asked . Katherine took a seat . "Medda , how would you feel about another chorus member "

Medda laughed "Katherine, " she said laughing . "Your very pretty and you can sing and all . Your tapping is nice but . Your not the imagine I'm looking for . Also . Honey I've seen your pirouettes. Let's just say that Specs can do those better ..... By 1000% percent " "um thanks ? But this is the thing . Medda this chorus member won't come for a while " "Honey I don't no old ugly flapper !" "No , they will be here in nine months " "That's too long ! Nine months..." She said . She looked at Katherine. Katherine let out a huge smile .

"Nine months ?" She said walking over to sit next to Katherine " Yep" Katherine smiled . Medda put her hand on Katherine's stomach " Your pregnant?" She said . Katherine smiled . "We're gonna have a baby ?" "Yep " "Oh my goodness !!!!!!!!" She said she hugged Katherine tightly but mindful of the baby .

This was the last but hardest spot . The boys where in the lodging house.

"Hi ya fellas " Jack said as the two walked in . Jack took the coat that was on Katherine's shoulders and put it on the coat rack near the doors .
"Well if it ain't the Kelly's !" Specs said . "Hi is everyone here ?" "We're just waiting for Davey to come back from the kitchen. Mr. Mom made brownies " "THEY ARE NOT BROWNIES FOR THE THE MILLIONTH TIME THEY ARE COCO SQUARES !" Davey said . He walked out with a tray full of "coco squares " and a frilly apron tied around his waist .

"Can I interest you in a coco square ? There gluten free " "Sure " Katherine said taking one . Jack and her walked to a chair and which two boys moved so Katherine could sit.

"What brings you guys here ?" Davey said handing the coco squares out . "We have some news " "What ? What is it Jackie Boy ?" Cruthie asked him "Katherine and I need to tell you guys something " "what ? Are you guys leavin for Santa Fe ?" Les said crawling up next to Katherine and sitting on her left .

"No much bigger news things that will last for 18 years or so " Katherine said .

The boys around didn't get it . Either titling their heads or adding up things with their fingers . Some even asking if it's a disease .

Cruthie looked at Katherine and she smiled . "Jackie Boy is having a baby ?!" Cruthie said . Katherine nodded and they all smiled and whooped .

"Katherine?" "Yes Les ?" "How did the baby get in there ?" "Jack out it there " Davey said . "How did he get in there and how will the baby come out ?" "Um les go do the dishes I'll explain things when your older .... Much older " Davey said which made the whole group fall into laughter .
