Larry and Evelyn Schmidt lay awake long past their usual time for sleep. It was midnight at least. They awaited a telephone call from their son-in-law Jeff. Their daughter Annie was in labor, and at ten o'clock they finally went to bed, but without hope of sleeping. Larry and Evelyn had been married 42 years, and only now awaited the birth of their first grandchild. All evening they'd been in the mood to talk, recounting Larry Junior's birth, eleven years after their marriage, and then the surprise of Annie, eight years later.
