Carrie's point of view

As I hold the test in my hand I am literally shaking. It reads +. There is a human being growing inside of me. I have never been pregnant before and I'm 40. Big is going to freak. He walked into the bathroom to see me holding that pregnancy test.

Big's reaction was not what I expected. He wasn't angry. He wrapped his strong arms around me.

"Are you disapointed," I asked.

"Am I disapointed about having a baby," he asked, "Carrie I never planned to be a father but this is the best of me and you. I'm delighted."

Plans. You can make them all you want. Sometimes when you make plans however GOD looks up and says, "No. I have different plans for you."

That is a lesson I learned when I turned 16 years old. It almost always works out for the best when our plans go South.

I wasn't the only one going through changes. All of us girls were going through things of one kind or another. Miranda for example had been elected a family and criminal court judge. Charlotte found out Lily's birth mother wanted her back. Samantha was diognosed with HIV. It was quite a time for all of us.

It was 11 o'clock at night when Charlotte rang Miranda's bell. She was a mess.

"Charlotte? Come in! What's wrong? Where are the girls?"

"They're with Harry," Charlotte said, "I just found out that Lily's mother is suing me for custody of Lily."

"Yeah," Miranda said, "I got assigned to that case."

"Are you going to take my baby away from me," Charlotte asked.

"Of course not," Miranda said, "But I can't act like I'm your friend during the case. I have to act like I'm playing it fair."

Charlotte nodded and Miranda hugged her.

Miranda should have recused herself sure but she had every intention of 'playing it fair'. If she got caught that's fine. She would be happy to take one for the team. Charlotte was worth it. There were few people Miranda would break the rules for. Charlotte was one of them. Meanwhile I was craving a pizza.

Big went out and got a pizza for me. He brought it back in less then 10 minutes. I dived into the pizza not thinking about anything else for the moment.

"This is delicous," I said.

"I'm glad it is," Big said, "I love you."

He kissed my belly and added, "and I love you."
