"Mother, you're not kidding me, are you?" he pleaded. "You mean it, don't you? It's the truth?" Paul, who is 14 months younger than Peter, was equally joyful. The first hurdle was scaled beautifully. I couldn't have been more rewarding. Their warm spontaneous response set the tone of the whole baby-having experience. It wasn't, "Isn't it great that Mom's having a baby!" It was, "Isn't it great that we're having a baby!" It was like the whole family was going to have the baby, not just me. While I was pregnant, I thought I had four husbands! Every evening Phillip would meet me at the car and help me carry everything to the house. He and the other boys looked after me as if I was a fragile flower — which is so nice for any girl who likes attention, and I don't know any girl who doesn't. It was so touching to see the boys go out of their way to be considerate. They were kinder than usual. They'd scold me if I lifted anything. They checked me to make sure I visited the doctor regularly. Occasionally they'd even go with me to the obstetrician. They helped me get everything ready — the layette, the bassinet. The baby was theirs right from the beginning, even before she was born. My boys even displayed a cheerful willingness to baby me and make allowances for my irritability, just as Lee did. While I was carrying the baby, I was working hard on filming my show, and there were times I just didn't feel well. Lee took the boys aside and explained why mother wasn't always cheery. He told them they would have to be very understanding and patient. He cautioned that they would have to appreciate that there was a good reason if I didn't react with great gayety and enthusiasm to all the things they wanted to do. This made sense to my three solemn young men, and they were equal to the occasion. Far from being put out, they actually seemed to welcome the opportunity to do without. Somehow it made them feel that they were making tangible contributions to the safe birth of their baby. Perhaps the greatest single sacrifice evolved one evening at dinner. I have to admit that it came about in the devout hope that just such an instinct would be aroused in them. "Isn't it a pity," I mused, "that our home was built with the idea that our family was complete. Now we really have a problem. I just don't know how we're going to figure out a place to put the new baby that's coming." Peter and Paul immediately exchanged glances. Each had a large bedroom separated only by a folding partition which they were able to open or close as they wished. Since they were only 14 months apart, they were — and still are — veryclose. Often, in fact, they would end up in the same bed at night. If a sacrifice was to come, that would have to be the source. I knew it, and Lee knew it. The question was — would they know it without being asked outright? While in general the boys had been acting very mature, we realized that they still were children underneath.
