(Sorry if this is long....... )
He thought a moment. All the delicious Krabby Patties waiting for their preparation in the Krusty Krab kitchen....Mr. Krabs' shining face there to greet him at the door..*flash a picture of a disgustingly disturbed Mr. Krabs*...Squidward's indifference...
Then again, he thought, here's Sandy...asleep in my bed and our... the baby, due to wake up any minute. She'll need my help with all the baby stuff.
"I think I'd better call....call...call in s-s-sick today," he said aloud, the words sounding strange to him. "Come on Squarepants. You can do this, Sandy needs you."
He picked up the conch-shaped telephone, resting on a little table against the wall, dialed the Krusty Krab's number, and was greeted by Squidward's not-so-enthusiastic voice.
"Krusty Krab. How can I help you...?"
"Uh..hey Squidward. Could I talk to Mr. Krabs, please?"
"Spongebob?!" Squidward said angrily. "Why aren't you at work?!"
"I..uh..I'm...sick." He turned and looked at the shifting form of Sandy beneath the sheets.
"Ohhh! Well then, sure! You'd better stay home today Spongebob. I'll just get him for you." Squid's tone was much happier than before and soon Mr. Krabs' voice could be heard on the other end.
Spongebob answered, "Hey Mr. Krabs, it's Spongebob. I..I won't be coming into work today because..."
"What!? Because why, boy?"
"Because...I'm..sick."
"Sick? You'd better be on your deathbed if you're gonna go off and miss work, boy."
"...B-b-but...I....-"
"Who are you talking to Spongebob?" Sandy's voice said right from behind him.
"Wha...!?" Said Spongebob, turning to find her just a step away, rubbing her eyes from inside her helmet. "Me?! Oh, I'm just callin' work to say..-"
"Spongebob, who're ya talkin' to?" Asked Mr. Krabs on the other side of the line. "Is that a girl I hear? The mammal...Sandy?"
"Whatt!!Oh! No! That's just...Gary, Mr. Krabs. Gary. See?" He meowed like his pet snail."Just good, ol' Gar Bear."
"What're you talkin' about, Spongbob?" Asked Sandy, her hands on her hips.
"Har har har! Sure it is, boy! You and Gary just go on and rest now. I'll be needin' ya back first thing tomorrow morning. Have fun gettin' well now, Spongebob! Har har har!" He hung up laughing before Spongebob could say anything more.
He turned around slowly. "Um, that was just Mr. Krabs... since we have the baby I thought I should stay...I told him..."
"Y'all told him I was a snail. Why'd you go and cover me up like that?" She said, not angrily, but playfully.
