"Alright Bobby, now that we've finished setting up the restaurant, and we've had our opening day, it's time we start redecorating the house" Linda said, entering the kitchen where Bob was sitting at the table, drinking a glass of wine and reading his paper.

It had been a particularly busy day. Despite only opening the restaurant a month earlier, he was getting some good business from the Spring Breakers who had been running rampant all over the beach town. So he was not happy to hear of his wife's plans.

"Lin you know we can't afford that. Soon all these college kids will go back to school and we'll be struggling to make ends meet, just like normal."

"Awwwwn come on Bobby! It'll be fun! And I can make it cheap. We'll just go one room at a time. We can start with the spare room."

"Oh god..." Bob said putting down his paper.

"I'm thinking we put in a smaller bed. Sell the old one. Then we'll actually make money!" Bob chuckled and she beamed. "And then, we paint it bright pink!"

"B-bright pink?" Bob stuttered, taken aback by this odd choice. He knew his wife had an eccentric flair, but this seemed a little much.

"Lin I don't think guests will appreciate..."

"Shh!" She put her finger to his lips. "I'm not done. So once we've painted the walls, we go back to the paint store with our extra paint and complain that it wasn't dark enough. So they'll mix us a darker pink that we can use to repaint the desk and the dresser! Free of charge! So far, this hasn't cost us anything, we're just using our extra bed sale money!"

"Yeah but I don't think these are the best choices for friends and family when they come over. This sounds more like it was meant for a ki... Oh god" Bob's eyes widened when he realized what was going on.

Linda grinned wide before cheering "we're having a babyyyy! Alriiiiight!"

Bob was dumbstruck, but excited. Linda started chattering about when she found out, and how she had such a hard time keeping it a secret from Gayle, and this that and the other thing. Bob just sat in silence, and he finished the entire bottle of wine by himself. He knew Linda couldn't have any, so who else would finish it?

When he was good and drunk, he finally had something to say.

"Lin... I... Am so fucking lucky. We're gonna be in debt, but we... Are gonna be in debt with a baby. I love you" and he leaned over and gave her a slobbery kiss.

She gently pushed him off, chuckling.

"I'm glad you got drunk today because tomorrow you're quitting with me. We're going dry together, or else I may just go crazy! Hooray alriiiiight no booze while pregnant!"

"What?"
