Chapter 3

Abby rolled over as a bright light pierced her eyelids, she gently opened her eyes and saw john laid beside her smiling

"Morning sleeping beauty" he whispered

"Morning??" abby was puzzled, "what happened to dinner?" she asked

"You feel asleep so it was cancelled"

"Oh I'm sorry baby" abby sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes

"Its ok you obviously needed the rest" abby couldn't believe how understanding her husband was, nothing could ever faze him, maybe now was the time to tell him about the baby she thought to her self

"John……" she started

"Yes honey" he was engrossed in a medical journal that had come with the post that morning

"I have something to tell you" "mmm"

"I'm pregnant" john dropped his journal and turned to face abby a brilliant smile lighted up his face and his eyes twinkled like a little kid who got exactly what he wanted for Christmas.

"Really?" he seemed almost breathless "Oh my God abby that is so great, I'm so happy, oh my I don't know what to say" he embraced her in a hug

"When did you find out? How many weeks are you? Have you seen a doctor?" abby chuckled and he threw all these questions at her

"yesterday, don't know, no" she answered all in one sentence, john looked slightly puzzled by this answer, then his face turned into yet another smile as he deciphered this answer.

"Its going to be ok this time abby, I can feel it, I know it will"

"John, don't get your hopes up, hopefully it will be ok this time but we can't be sure" abby tried to reason with john but she knew it was no good. She knew he was already planning the nursery for this child of theirs.

Suddenly a wave of sickness hit her and she leapt out of bed, as she ran to the bathroom she heard John chuckling to himself. She knew what he was laughing at, the morning sickness she had had every time, it was almost routine now.
