Okay. I know this might not be the exact story line but in my opinion, if Amanda is eighteen when the shows starts and Michael and CJ have been married only seventeen years, that makes me suspicious. So this is my interpretation of when Amanda is conceived and CJ being pregnant with her.
Three Months Later…
Claudia Joy's POV…
I decided to drop out of Harvard Law. There is no way I can get married and do that as well. So it was settled. I'm going to be an army wife. I guess I will be going into military life after all. I woke up alone; Michael and I can't live together under military regulations, but we do have sleepovers. And even if we did live together he would be at work by now. So for now, I had to live near Fort Bragg.
When I woke up, I sat and tried to feel to see if I had gotten it yet. I went into the bathroom to check. There was still no blood. Not a good sign. I showered and got dressed before heading to the grocery store. I still had to get the usual items but another item was now on my list.
Michael's POV…
I walked into Claudia Joy's apartment after she called me and said she had big news. I guess I'll just stay here tonight. I have some big news too. I hope her news is better than mine.
"Hey sweetheart," she said when she saw me.
"Hi," I said softly, "Honey, I have some news."
"You and me both," she chuckled lightly as she sipped her water. That's weird. She'd normally have wine, "You go first," she encouraged.
"Sit down," I said.
"Michael," she said worriedly sitting down next to me on the couch.
"Baby, I'm deploying to Kuwait."
"What?" she asked. She started to cry even though she knew it would happen eventually.
"I know it's upsetting. But we'll have to postpone the wedding."
"When are you deploying?" she asked. Man I didn't know it would be this hard for her. I hated seeing her like this.
"In two months," I answered, "But it'll be okay."
"How long?"
"Probably nine months to a year," I said, "Why?'
"Because you'll miss the birth of our baby that's why!"
