Chapter 1:
Mary held the pregnancy test in her shaking hands, with each breath she took fear shot through her body.
Silently she placed the test neatly into it's package, then neatly slid the package into a nearby drawer.
After taking a moment to compose herself, Mary walked into the living room where her husband, James Owens was sitting.
James immediately sensed that something was wrong with his wife.
"Mare? What's wrong?" he asked, standing up and pulling his wife close to him.
Mary immediately pulled away and looked into his eyes, "nothing." She answered quickly, "I'm fine."
James surveyed her for a minute, knowing that she would eventually tell him, "okay." He answered, "I've got to get to work."
Mary stared back at him, shocked and hurt at his lack of concern, "okay," she whispered.
James saw the hurt in her eyes and pulled her close to him again, this time Mary allowed him to wrap his arms around her small figure, "are you sure you're okay?" James whispered in her ear.
Mary pulled away, "I'm fine."
James gave her a look that told her he didn't believe one word she said, "okay. I love you," he replied, knowing Mary wouldn't tell him until she was ready.
Mary nodded, "I love you too."
James gave her a quick kiss on the cheek then headed out the door.
Mary stared at the closed door for a moment, then allowed a tear to slip from her eye. Slowly she walked into the kitchen and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Lucy's cheerful voice answered after several rings.
"Luce, it's me."
"Hey Mare! What's up?"
"I.um.I need to talk to you."
"Do you want me to come over?"
"Do you mind?"
"No, of course not. I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Thanks." Mary whispered hanging up the phone.
As she placed the phone on it's cradle she turned to face the back door where a small calico cat was scratching on the door. Mary sighed, she hated that cat. Why James loved it she would never know.
A few minutes later the doorbell rang, Mary slowly walked to the foyer and swung open the door.
"Hey Luce."
Lucy hugged her sister, "so what's up?" she asked.
Mary stared after Lucy as she walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Oh come on Mare. Just tell me." Lucy pleaded after ten minutes of silence.
"Okay.I'm.." Mary's voice trailed off.
Lucy sighed, "you're."
"I'm." before Mary could finish her sentence the phone rang. Immediately she ran into the kitchen, "Hello?"
"Is this Mrs. Owens?" A toneless voice asked.
"Yes." Mary replied nervously.
"You're husband was involved in a serious crash, we need you to identify his body." The voice continued, showing no compassion.
"Excuse me?" Mary asked, in complete shock.
"You're husband was killed."
Mary dropped the phone and let her body slide down the wall. Hearing the phone bang against the floor, Lucy ran into the kitchen.
"Hello?" she heard the phone utter.
Lucy looked from the phone to Mary who was sobbing.
Quickly she picked up the phone.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Is this Mrs. Owens?"
"No this is her sister, what's going on?"
"James Owens was involved in a car crash. We need someone to identify the body."
