Chapter 1: The Discovery
Is this really happening?,Tasha thought as she looked at the two pink lines on the pregnancy test. It's not like she wasn't excited about having a baby, it's actually a dream come true for her. She and Donald have been married for almost a year now and was about to start asking him if he was interested in having a baby. "Tasha, are you okay in there? You've been in the bathroom for a while now." Donald asked from the master bedroom. "I'll be right out! Just getting ready for the day, that's all." Tasha shouted from the bathroom, wrapping the test in tissue paper and throwing it in the waste bin. She washed her hands, took a look at herself in the mirror and breathed in and out deeply."I'm ready!" Tasha said as she left the bathroom, joining her husband as they went downstairs to the living room, seeing the kids in the kitchen, chatting about how excited they were about the school day they were about to experience. Tasha smiled to herself, thinking about how another child will be joining the group sooner than expected.
Donald was in the basement working in the Lab by himself. As he tinkered with the gadget in his hands, he heard the sound of soft footsteps behind him. He turned his office chair around to see his wife walking towards him, a small smile on her face. "Hey angel." he said sweetly to Tasha, making her smile grow a bit bigger. He patted his lap as a gesture for her to sit on it. Tasha smiled and sat on her husband's lap, enjoying the moment of just being alone with him, while the kids were at school. Suddenly, she remembered what she had discovered that morning. "Don, there's something I need to tell you," Tasha started off, sounding a bit more nervous than she would have liked. "What's wrong Tasha?" Donald asked in a worried tone. Tasha hesitated a bit, not really sure why she was so nervous, "I'm...I'm pregnant." Donald looked stunned for a moment, but as the realization of what Tasha had told him sunk in, a bright smile appeared on his face and he wrapped his arms around his wife's stomach, trying to hug her as tightly as he could, but also as softly as he could, in fear of hurting the baby. "So I take it you're happy?", Tasha asked, amused at how ecstatic her husband was about the baby. Donald looked up into Tasha's eyes said "You've made me the happiest man on earth."
