I paced my bathroom, biting my nails.

Everything is going to change and I don't know how I feel about it. I'm not mad, I think I might even be happy but right now all I am is nervous. I'm eyeing the three sticks on the counter that all contain the same answer, just waiting for some kind of sign that I misread them.

I hear the front door swing open and know my nerdy husband is home from work.

You have to tell him, Puckett. Like a band-aid, fast.I reminded myself.

I walk into the living room to see Freddie dropping his brief case and removing his shoes while loosening his tie.

"Hey honey, how was your day?" He asks with a sincere smile.

"Uh, it was…interesting. I really need to tell you something."

"Go for it." He says simply. He approaches me, wrapping me in a hug.

"Well, you know that empty room that you want to turn into an office? You can't, it's going to belong to someone else." He releases me and looks at me confused.

"Sam, what do you-

"I'm pregnant." I rush the words out of my mouth and watch Freddie freeze in place with a spaced-out look of shock.

"Freddie, are you okay?" I ask waving my hand in front of his face hoping for a response.

He remains frozen for a few moments but he manages to say "S-so…you?...and I…w-with…like a baby?"

"Yes." And with that he passes out.

"Freddie? Did you really just faint?" I ask poking his chest. Oh my God, I was already freaking out and this was not needed, what I needed was bacon and a place to sit so I could figure out the next step. I slap him across the face hard and he sits up straight, looking around desperately, confused yet again.

"Hey, do you understand what's happening now?" I hold his face in my hands and ask him.

He slowly nods his head and says slowly "We're gonna have another abusive, carnivorous monster running loose in the house." He looked almost scared.

I roll my eyes and slowly ask him the question I want the answer to most "Freddie…are you happy?"

He looks at me thoughtfully for a few moments before his face softens and a small smile spreads across his face. "I couldn't be happier."
