Ruth fixes her hair in a long plait before picking up her baby girl. Her husband, Soloman, told her over dinner that he had something to tell her and the others today. As she goes to wake up her other children, she wonders what it come be. She opens the door to her oldest daughter's room.
"Truly, honey, can you help me with the kids. Your father has something he needs to discuss with Mary, Sarah, and myself."
"Sure mother. Is anyone else up yet?"
"I think I heard Matthew and Timothy in their room, and I saw Rachel and Jessica. I do not think Elizabeth or Mark is awake yet, and here is Amanda."
"Alright, I will get them ready," Truly states ask she takes Amanda in her arms.
Ruth walks back down the hall through the kitchen and into the common room. She sits on the couch and waits. Mary is the next to walk in. She is wearing black pants and a red top with her hair curly around her face. Ruth knows she has to rush straight to work after their meeting. Sarah is the youngest of them all. She enters with her scrubs on ready to head to the doctor's office.
"What do you think Solomon needs to tell us," Sarah ask.
"Oh, I have an idea," Mary replies while Ruth nodded.
Mary and Ruth have went through this same experience before, only last time it was about Sarah.
Solomon comes in through Mary's sector of the house, and sits across from the couch, where all the women are sitting, and takes a breath.
"We have to add on to the house," says Solomon.
Mary and Ruth look at each other. It is just as they expected.
Sarah chimes in, "But why?"
A look of shocked came across her face as Solomon spoke.
"I have decided to to bring in someone else to the family, as my fourth wife."
