Jesse had been going to preschool for almost six months now. Brittany had gotten used to having him away for a few hours each day and having some time to herself again. After Jesse had been born, she went back to performing a little but she hadn't done any big tours again. She knew that it would be nice to do another tour but right now, she had other things on her mind. Sam was meeting her at their favourite café for lunch because he had an hour's break from rehearsing for the show he was in the next night.
"Hey, Britt." She was already sitting at their usual table, at the back of the café.
"Hey. How's rehearsal going?" she gave him a kiss as he sat down.
"Fine. We'd better be more focused this afternoon though."
"New kids not up to standard?" Sam shook his head.
"No. Nowhere near ready for tomorrow." He put his head in his hands, leaning his elbows on the table. Brittany got up to order their coffees, bringing them back after a few minutes. Sam was texting someone on his cell but when she came up, he put it away.
"So, what's happened for you today?" he asked, sipping his drink.
"Not much. I went to the doctors this morning."
"How come? Are you feeling okay?" Sam was immediately concerned. Brittany smiled.
"I'm fine. In fact better than fine. I'm pregnant again."
"Really? How long?" Sam felt the same excitement he felt when she'd told him she was pregnant with Jesse.
"About a month. I haven't had much morning sickness yet so it was a bit less obvious than last time."
"Are we going to tell Jesse?"
"We will. I just want to make sure he understands he's still special. I've heard a lot of stories about children feeling left out when a new brother or sister comes along."
"He'll be fine. As long as we keep spending time with him." They had both finished their coffees by now and were getting ready to leave.
"I guess. I'm going to make his favourite dinner tonight and we can tell him during."
"Okay. Well, I'd better get going. See you later." He gave her a quick kiss and waved goodbye.
"Bye." she said, putting their coffee mugs on the counter and leaving too.
