It had been two weeks since the transplant. Although they were both tired,
Jamie seemed to be recovering sooner than Jamie had. But the doctor had
said that Jamie might recover a little quicker than Landon would. The sun
shone into their bedroom dimly through the closed blinds, shining into
Landon's eyes. He rolled over in bed, and saw that Jamie was not next to
him. He sat up and looked around the room. "Jamie?" he called "Jamie?"
There was no answer. He got up from the bed and went downstairs to see if
Jamie was down there. "Jamie?" he called, walking down the stairs to the
kitchen. He saw Jamie sitting at the table, reading the newspaper. "Good
morning," he said, leaning in to kiss her. "Morning," she said. "How are
you feeling today?" he asked. "Not so great, my stomach hurts," she said.
"Oh I'm sorry," he said, picking up the sports section of the paper.
"Landon," she said, stopping for a minute. "I think I might be pregnant."
Landon dropped the paper on the table and looked at her. "Well let's make
sure before we get all worried," he said. "After breakfast we'll go to the
drugstore and get a test, then we can be sure," he said. "Okay," Jamie
nodded. Landon sat down at the table next to her and poured a bowl of
cereal. He got up from the chair to get a spoon and pour some coffee, then
he sat down again.
After breakfast, they got dressed and drove to the drugstore. They walked down the aisles to find what they needed. When they had picked it out, they went to the check out counter and paid for it. Walking out of the store, they drove back home.
Landon took the test out of the bag and through the bag away. Jamie walked upstairs with the test in her hand, Landon following her. Landon waited outside while Jamie took the test. "Landon!" she called to him from inside the bathroom. "Landon, come here!" Landon took a deep breath and opened the door. "Whatever it is, I love you, and it will be fine," he said. He grasped her hand tightly as he could. They looked at the test, waiting for the result. Jamie took her other hand and picked it up. "I love you," she said to him, looking down to read it. It was positive. Jamie smiled. "Can you believe it? We're going to be parents!" Landon said. He put his arms around Jamie and hugged her tightly, kissing her. "There's so much to do!" he said happily. "We have to tell our parents and our friends, and decorate the room, and think of names for the baby, and we have to have a baby shower for you," he said, rambling on. "Landon, let's take one thing at a time," said Jamie calmly. "Let's call our parents and we can go out to dinner," she suggested. "Good idea. You go change and I'll call them. Maybe we can meet them somewhere and we can go look at baby stuff and then have dinner. Oh, they will be so excited," he said.
Landon parked the car in the parking lot of Babies-R-Us. Seeing his parents, he and Jamie got out of the car to meet them. "Why are we here?" asked Landon's mother. Landon had told them to meet there, but he didn't say why. "We are picking out a gift for a friend's baby and we thought you might like to help us pick it out," fibbed Landon. "Okay," said Landon's mother.
Walking through the aisles of the store, Jamie couldn't believe it. She and Landon were going to have a baby. It was almost unreal. "How do you think this would look in our baby's room?" said Landon to his mother. "Good but why would you need that?" asked his mother. "Because we're having a baby," he said.
