Matt and Sarah sat hand in hand waiting for their doctor, Matt's uncle, to come back into the small hospital room with the results of Sarah's pregnancy test.
"What names do you like? For a boy, I like Robert kind of.what do you think."
"Robert.Bobby.Robbie.maybe. I wonder if this baby is a girl or a boy" she said, toughing her stomach and smiling. She looked down and spoke to her flat belly.
"Hey sweetie, are you a girl or a boy? Just tell mommy. Yell it out to her." She laughed. Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. Dr. Hastings entered the room holding papers. He was smiling.
"Well kids, you're test results have come in." He told them. Sarah wished that he would hurry up. They had names to discuss ultra sounds to schedule so much to do. But then she heard Matt's uncle speak again. Still smiling, he turned to Sarah. Putting his hand on her shoulder, he spoke.
"Sarah, you're not pregnant." He told them with a smile. Hank always knew that they didn't want kids during school, and he didn't know that they did want kids now. He continued.
"So rest assured. Maybe I'll see you in here in a few years, and you'll be happy with other results. Have a great day guys." He told them, and he left the room.
Matt took Sarah by the hand and walked her out to their car. Neither of them spoke. They got into the car, and began the drive home. About half way home, Matt turned to look at his wife, and he saw that tears were silently streaming down her face.
"Honey." He began.
"The test.it said." She stammered. Matt smiled sadly at her.
"Home pregnancy tests aren't always accurate." He told her. "Obviously" he added.
The rest of the drive was silent. They arrived home, and went to the door, as soon as they were inside, Matt wrapped his arms around his wife as she dissolved into tears.
"There is no baby" She wailed. Matt kept his strong arms ever tight around her as he tried to stop her tears. And even though Sarah couldn't see it, Matt too had a tear rolling down his face.

"You're.engaged?" Annie and Eric asked in unison. Simon and Haylie nodded, sitting across from Simon's parents in the living room.
"When are you planning on getting married?" Eric asked them. Simon smiled.
"April. Most likely the 12th." He told them. Startled, Annie spoke up quickly.
"April?! That's in 3 months!" She cried. "Simon that's impossible." Haylie shook her head.
"Actually," Haylie began, "My aunt is a wedding planner. I called her and she said that April would be fine and she'll do the wedding for us. But we were wondering." She was cut off by Simon.
"If you would marry us." He finished.
"Of course I will." Eric told them.
"She's going to move into the garage apartment with me after we're married." Simon informed his parents. Simon looked at his watch.
"Oh, guys, it's getting late. I need to take Haylie home." He told them. Every one stood up and hugged. Simon took his fiancée by the hand, and they left. Annie and Eric watched from the window as Simon and Haylie got into Simon's car and drove off. Annie turned to Eric.
"Only three more unmarried kids." She said with a sad smile. Eric nodded his head.
"Speaking of those kids, shouldn't we be tucking them in?" He asked.
"Well, the twins yes.Ruthie's out on a date with Peter remember?" She asked. Eric nodded again.
"They better not get engaged." He said with a laugh.
"She's only 15. We have a few more years."
Hand in hand, Eric and Annie started up the stairs to tuck the twins in to bed.

That day was difficult for Mary. She was in the bathroom with her head over the toilet for what seemed like the millionth time that day. Ben walked in in his pajamas and rubbed her back. Mary vomited again and sat back.
"I don't feel good." She told him with a sad face. He helped her up from the bathroom floor.
"Come on sweetie, let's go to bed now." Mary nodded silently as her husband led her to the bed and layed her down. "I'll go get you a cool rag for your forehead." He told her.
Ben was back within minutes with a cool rag. Placing the rag over her forehead, he gently kissed her cheek.
"I just called the doctor. He's going to see you tomorrow. He says it sounds like the flu so he's going to get you some meds." He told her.
"Why didn't I get the flu shot this year?" Mary mumbled angrily to herself. Ben shut off the lights, and they were both sound asleep almost immediately.
