Chapter 1:

Stephanie was sitting in her office hoping to get out of there early so that she could pick up her husband from the airport.. She was married to none other than Matthew Moore Hardy and the mother of his two children, Alexis, 5 and Rebekkah 2. As Stephanie looked over her calender for the month, she realized that something was missing.

As she looked at the previous months, she realized that she was late. Stephanie and Matt hadn't been trying to get pregnant, but it looks as if she just might be. Stephanie hoped that if she was pregnant that this time it would be a boy. Stephanie was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't hear someone knocking on her office door.

"Earth to Steph!" Jeff stated from the doorway.

"Sorry, Jeff. What's up?" Stephanie responded.

"Are you about ready to leave for the airport?" Jeff asked.

"Uh yeah. Do we have time to stop at the store on the way?" Stephanie answered.

"Sure. Is everything ok? You looked rather lost in your thoughts." Jeff asked.

"Yeah. Just figuring out my calender for the next few weeks." Stephanie answered as she grabbed her bag and locked up her office.

Once they were on their way to the airport, Jeff stopped at a local store and Stephanie ran in to get a pregnancy test. Once they were back on the road, Jeff noticed the small paper bag that Stephanie was holding on to.

"Are you sure everything is ok? You know that you can talk to me." Jeff asked.

"I know. I don't know if everything is ok, but I will know tomorrow morning." Stephanie answered.

"Ok." Jeff responded as they pulled into the parking garage at the airport.

Jeff and Stephanie headed to baggage claim where they were meeting Matt. Stephanie checked the screen for Matt's flight information. His flight was delayed for another hour. Stephanie took a deep breath and walked back over to Jeff.

"We have another hour before his flight will arrive. Want to grab something to eat?" Stephanie told Jeff.

"Sure." Jeff responded.

Jeff and Stephanie headed over to a nearby restaurant within the airport. After ordering something quick, Stephanie started to feel a little nauseous. After excusing herself from the table, Stephanie headed into the restroom and pulled out the pregnancy test. After taking the test, Stephanie stuck it back in the box and walked back out to their table.

After they were done eating, Stephanie and Jeff checked the flight status and headed back to the baggage claim to meet Matt, who arrived about 10 minutes later.

"Baby, I am so happy to be home." Matt stated as he hugged Stephanie.

"I am happy to have you home too." Stephanie responded.

While Matt and Jeff gathered Matt's luggage, Stephanie looked at the pregnancy test in her bag. She took a deep breath and followed Matt and Jeff to the car. The ride home, Stephanie was rather quiet as all she could think about was the results of the pregnancy test and how Matt was going to take it.

Once Matt and Stephanie were at home, Matt started unpacking while Stephanie changed out of her work clothes. Matt could tell that something was going on with his wife, but he wasn't sure what it was. Stephanie walked into the laundry room where Matt was doing his laundry.

"Hon, there's something that I need to tell you before we go pick up the girls from your dad's house." Stephanie stated.

"Ok. What is it?" Matt asked concerned.

"Why don't we go into the livingroom." Stephanie suggested.

"Ok." Matt responded as he followed his wife. "What's wrong?"

"This afternoon I realized that I was about 2 weeks late for my period. I had Jeff stop at a store and I bought a pregnancy test. While we were waiting for your flight to come in, I took the test and then shoved it back into my bag." Stephanie started to tell him.

"What did the test say?" Matt asked hoping that they were pregnant again.

"We're pregnant!" Stephanie answered.

"That's the best news I've heard all week." Matt responded as he pulled her into a hug.

"I'm glad you're happy." Stephanie stated.

"Of course I am. Aren't you?" Matt asked.

"Yes I am." Stephanie answered.

Matt and Stephanie soon headed over to Gilbert's house to pick up Alexis and Rebekkah. Matt was on cloud nine as was Stephanie. On the way over there Matt and Stephanie agreed not to say anything until it was confirmed by her doctor.

"I was startin to wonder if two were coming to get the girls." Gilbert stated as Matt and Stephanie walked into the house.

"Sorry dad. My flight was an hour delayed. We just got back about 15 minutes ago." Matt responded.

"Daddy!" Alexis and Rebekkah both chimed as they ran over to their dad.

"How are my baby girls?" Matt asked as he hugged them both.

"Good. We miss you daddy." Alexis answered.

"Daddy home now?" Rebekkah asked.

"Yes. Daddy's home. And I missed you both very much." Matt answered.

Once Matt and Stephanie got the girls home and in bed, Matt finished his laundry and joined Stephanie in the livingroom. As they cuddled on the couch to watch a movie, Matt placed his hand over Stephanie's stomach and she couldn't help but smile.
