Chapter 1
"Come on Marls, just take the test!" Jake says sympathetically.
Ever since Jake and Marley had both graduated from college (NYADA and Julliard) and bought a small 2 bedroom apartment in new york they knew exactly what they wanted- a baby. They had enough room for one and they both wanted one so badly that they started trying.
Unfortunately due to Marley's eating disorder there had been some problems with getting pregnant, but they didn't let this get to them and still tried and tried and tried. So here they were: sitting on the bathroom floor (for the 32nd time) Marley holding a pregnancy test in one hand, the other trembling with nervousness and both of Jake's arms wrapped around her.
"I… i… c… ca… cant!" Marley manages to choke out before she bursts into tears.
She and Jake were now sitting on the floor, Marley sobbing into jakes arms; getting his shirt wet.
"Come on baby…" Jake mumbles. "32nd time lucky?" he says on the verge of crying himself. Marley glances up at him with sorry eyes.
"You say that every time!" Marley replies her voice rising with anger. "Maybe it's just not meant to be! Maybe I'm just not meant to get pregnant! Maybe were just not meant to have a baby!" tears are now streaming down her face.
"D… d… don't say that!" Jake says with pleading eyes.
"It's been a year and a half now! This is the 32nd test!" Marley shouts.
"B… b… but…" Jake says, no longer holding in the tears.
"Look Jake we've been going at it all the time! It's not working and it's never going to! I'm just giving you a reality check!" Marley screams, making the whole apartment shake. Jake stands up, red and shaking with anger.
"Just take the fucking test Marley!" Jake shouts.
"Fine! Out!" Marley says pointing at the door, motioning at Jake to get out.
"Seriously?" Jake asks her. Marley just nods her head blankly. Jake drags himself out the door and closes it; he slides down against the wall outside the bathroom.
Getting impatient Jake asks: "how long?"
"Another 2 minutes." Marley replies calmly. Jake sighs and bangs the back of his head against the wall.
After another, what feels hours to Jake, he stands up and walks over to the door. "Come on Marls that was longer than 2 minutes." After no reply he says. "Right that's it, I'm coming in!"
Jake opens the door hesitantly to find Marley sitting on the floor, leaning over the toilet and staring at the pregnancy test stick. Jake quietly creeps up behind Marley and peers over her shoulder. The stick has a plus sign and the word: POSITIVE.
Marley looks directly into Jakes eyes, He looks directly into hers.
"Are you?" Jake asks.
"Uh huh!" Marley replies her mouth bending upwards.
Jake kisses Marley passionately and hugs her tight as they start jumping around the room, ecstatic with joy. After they were finished celebrating Jake says:
"You're going to be mom!" He says whilst staring at her stomach.
"And you're going to be a dad!" Marley says smiling. Noticing Jake was staring at her stomach she takes his hands and places them on her belly.
"I love you!" Jake says.
"I love you to!" Marley replies.
