Picket Fences! Part 57



In the past few days there was three birthdays celebrated in Buford Falls . . .



Over at Jonathan and Shannan Henry's place it was time for their only daughter's birthday. They celebrated with a small family birthday party.





Jonathan brought Lauren to her cake.



Everybody sang "Happy birthday to you . . ." and cheered.



Jonathan helped her blow out the candles.



Then he did "the baby toss" and . . .



Lauren grew up into a cute blonde toddler.



Across town at the church parsonage there was another birthday celebrated . . .



Rev. Spain brought his son Jacob to his cake.



He and his wife Gwen sang "Happy birthday to you and she cheered . . ."



He helped the baby blow out the candles.



The pastor did "the baby toss" and . . .





Jacob returned to his arms grown up into a cute toddler.



At Rhys' place . . .



When Regan arrived with Megan Grace, they were greeted with friendly hugs all around.





When it was time for Megan Grace Tyler to grow up, her dad (Rhys Sawyer) brought her to her cake.



Scott, Regan . . .



Ryan, Shannan, Kevin, Heather, Sean and . . .



Jonathan and Ryan Sr. clapped the clappers and blew the birthday horns..



Rhys helped her blow out the candles.



When he put her down she did "the toddler dance". . .



And her family and friends watched and cheered . . .







As Megan Grace grew up into a pretty child.



Then she grabbed a big slice of her birthday cake.

Some candid shots of the party follow:



















After the party was over family and friends left to go home . . .










Rhys and Regan were sitting in the glider . . .



When Megan Grace came over and asked "Dad, can I spend the night?"



"You said when I was older, I could. Don't you remember?"



"Sure I remember. You can spend next weekend!", said Rhys.



"Why not now?", she asked.



"Megan Grace, we need to go home. I have to redo your room, unless you still want to sleep in your crib", said Regan, "Now tell your dad goodbye."



"Bye Dad", said Megan Grace, giving him a friendly hug.



"I'll be over to pick you up Friday afternoon when you get home from school", said Rhys.



Then Regan and Megan Grace left to go home.



Meanwhile, across the street at Mary Lou's house . . .



Carrie was relaxing on her bed thinking about Ryan Sawyer.



All of a sudden she jumped up off the bed and ran to the bathroom . . .



And threw up in the toilet.



When she turned around, her mother was watching her.



"Mom, I can explain", said Carrie.

"Well, in that case, start explaining", said Mary Lou.

"I ate some bad food and I must have food poisoning", she lied.

"I don't believe that for a minute Carrie", said Mary Lou.



"You never believe me", said Carrie.

"If you told me the truth once in a while, I would", Mary Lou said.



"Come into the livingroom after you clean yourself up", said Mary Lou.





Mary Lou went into the livingroom and sit on the sofa beside Peter.

"Carrie was in the bathroom a few minutes ago. She was throwing up in the toilet. SHE says she has food poisoning', said Mary Lou.

"Don't you believe her?", he asked.



"I hope that's all it is, but I have a feeling she's pregnant", Mary Lou said.



"Carrie doesn't even have a boyfriend. How can she be pregnant?", said Peter.

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out in a few minutes", she said.



Carrie came into the livingroom and Mary Lou said "Carrie, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes", she answered.



"Did you do woo hoo with him?", asked Mary Lou.

"Yes", said Carrie.

"How could you be so stupid to let him use you like that?", Mary Lou shouted.



"He said if I loved him, I'd do woo hoo, so I did . . . twice", she said.

"Who is it?", asked Mary Lou.



"It's Ryan Sawyer and it wasn't like you think. He loves me", said Carrie.

"Well, I'm going to see how much he loves you", she said.



Then Mary Lou headed across the street to Rhys Sawyer's place.



She was so mad, she walked into the house without even knocking.
