Brittany looked at the little white device in her hand. Only a minute to go before it possibly showed a little plus sign. She and Sam had been married for a year now and they had decided they were ready for children.

Sam was at work but Brittany had the day off. After seeing the sign she wanted, she decided to make a romantic evening for Sam to tell him. She spent the morning cleaning their house and then went to the shop, avoiding paparazzi as much as possible. She bought everything she needed to make calzone and went home. She spent the rest of the afternoon cooking. About an hour before Sam came home, she put the test in a box and placed it on top of the fridge.

"Britt? I'm home!" Sam shut the door behind him and threw his car keys into the bowl that stood on the table by the front door.

"I'm right here." Brittany appeared at the door to the kitchen, leaning against the door frame, smiling.

"How was your day?" he asked her, going over to her and hugging her.

"Pretty good, actually. Come on, I've got dinner ready." They went into the kitchen and Sam gasped. The table had a white cloth over it and at each end, a place was set with a steaming plate of calzone. In the middle of the table was a vase of flowers, flanked by two candles.

"Wow. What's the occasion?"

"Nothing. Can't I just have a romantic dinner with my husband?" They sat down at the table and ate, discussing various happenings of the day. When they were done, Brittany cleared the dishes and announced dessert. Sam stayed at the table while she disappeared into the kitchen and took the box off the fridge. She took a deep breath and went back to Sam, the box hidden behind her back.

"Where's dessert? He asked as she came in, noticing she wasn't holding food.

"Coming. I have a surprise for you first, though." she sat in the chair next to him and held out the box. He took it from her, confused.

"What's this? Did I forget something?" she smiled and shook her head.

"Just open it. You'll love it, I promise." she watched as he opened the lid and his jaw just about hit the ground when he saw what was inside.

"Really? You're pregnant? Brittany, oh god. I can't believe it." Sam was babbling with excitement.

"I told you you'd love it." Brittany went and sat in his lap. He kissed her and laid his hand on her stomach.

"I do love it. I love you and our child. Now be careful with this one." he joked. Brittany blushed and laughed.

"I will. There's nothing that can take this little piece of you away from me. Now do you actually want dessert still because I don't have anything special so it'll have to be ice-cream or something." Sam shook his head and stood up.

"No. I'm not hungry anymore. Let's clean up and go to bed." The two went into the kitchen and spent a good hour washing the dishes and laughing.
