"Christian, I have to talk to you."

"Okay. I have something as well."

"You first then", she smiled.

"No, you first."

"Fine." She exhaled and then the announcement came: "I'm pregnant."

"That's fantastic Liss!" The utter shock in Christians face was replaced by happiness, and then seriousness again. "We should get married."

"I'm not joking!"

She'd misread it, of course. Christian rolled his eyes before answering.

"Neither am I."
