Solemn, Kyle plays around with his food. Usually, he eats everything that I cook for him. Kitty and

Chance can sense that something is wrong. "You are awfully quiet this morning" I bring to my

husband's attention. "A war is coming. John needs my service. He wants me to join his army.

I told him that I would think about it" He admits. The children start crying. I have Derek to

escort them out of the dining room. "I need you more" I stress on the verge of tears. Lately, I have

been feeling unwell. I think I am pregnant again. I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet" I admit. "I can

stay home if you want me to" Kyle insists. Kyle is kind enough to put his plans on hold for

me. We visit a local grocery store where I buy a pregnancy test. Our hearts break a little over the

negative test results. Apart of ourselves rejoice over the fact it is a false alarm.
