Part 21

Anthony had been feeling off for a few days. First he'd been a little dizzy, but that'd gone away. Then he'd felt a little sick in the mornings. Nothing terrible. He did recognize the symptoms, though. He'd felt the same way when he'd first been pregnant with the twins. A home pregnancy test confirmed it.

Johanna didn't seem to notice any change in him. Granted, she wasn't the most observant of people. In a way, it was good. It allowed for Anthony to come up with a unique way to tell her that he was pregnant.

He planned it all out. He was going to tell her over a nice, romantic dinner. He'd even gone so far as to set it up after Johanna had gone out for a while, to go for a swim at the pool at the YMCA. And he'd gotten about a quarter of the way through this before feeling too excited to continue. He wanted to tell Johanna NOW.

The YMCA was only a few blocks away, so Anthony put on a coat and walked over as fast as possible. He figured that Johanna should be swimming by now. He walked past the front desk, into the locker room, and then out to the pool. He was still wearing his clothes when he got there, and could see Johanna swimming on the opposite end of the lane. There was another person in the water, too. An older, fat man with back hair who was wearing a bright blue rubber swim cap. He seemed to be eyeing Anthony warily as the young man excitedly made his way into the pool room.

"JOHANNA!" Anthony called.

But Johanna didn't hear him. Her head was under water as she continued to swim across the pool.

Sighing, Anthony picked up a foam noodle and began to walk towards her, attempting to poke her as she swam to get her attention.

"JOHANNA!" He called again, trying to tap her lightly with the toy.

Johanna popped up for a second, but then went right back under and kept swimming.

Anthony rolled his eyes, shook his head, and took a deep breath. He then jumped into the pool, landing only a few feet from his wife. The splash stopped Johanna in her tracks and she began to tread water, looking around for what had just fallen into the pool near her. She was shocked when her husband popped up with his hair dripping wet and still wearing his clothes.

"Johanna!" He said, grabbing onto the wall.

"Anthony?! What are you doing here?"

"Johanna, we're pregnant!" He yelped excitedly. His voice echoed off of the walls in the nearly empty room.

"We're... you're having a baby?!" Johanna asked, grinning.

Anthony nodded and pulled her into a hug. "Yes! I just took the test today! It's confirmed!"

"That's wonderful!" She hugged him back. She splashed a little water as she tried to get closer to him, giving him a huge kiss.

Then there came a voice that interrupted everything.

"HEY! You stupid kids!"

Anthony and Johanna turned to see the old man with the swim cap, standing in the shallow section with his hands on his hips.

"KEEP IT IN YOUR OWN LANE!" He yelled.

Anthony opened his mouth to reply, but saw that the man was now occupied with pulling his swim cap tighter.

"Um. Wow," Johanna said under her breath. "We should get out of here, anyway. Go celebrate."

Anthony smiled and nodded. "Let's go. We have to go call your dad, anyway. I bet he'll be thrilled."
