It was still raining outside and it didn't look like it would end soon. JD
sat in front of his laptop and worked on his report for work. He sat at the
table in the living room and soft classical music was playing. He always
liked listening to music from Mozart and Beethoven while working on
difficult things. He missed playing the violin like he used to do at home.
And when you look around the atmosphere was romantic with the rain running
down the walls and windows soundly.
All of a sudden the phone rang and JD moved up surprised. He had been in
deep thoughts; he didn't even notice the world around him.
"Hello?" He asked as he took the phone. "Hi Cheri, it's me!" His heart
seemed to jump at the sound of her voice. "Hey honey, where are you? You
wanted to be home 1 ½ hours ago." He said and heard his fiancée moan. "I'm
sorry, I'm on my way home. I'll get us something to eat from the Italian
restaurant, alright?" She asked out of breath. "Ok, Jo, I'll be waiting and
I'll set the table." "That's nice, JD. I'll be home in 15 minutes. See
you!" JD smiled at himself. Since she got the new project she was away all
time and really stressed. "Ok, see you and I love you." He added softly and
she smiled at herself. "I love you too, baby."
He prepared the table in the dinning room with candles and a nice wine. He
looked at the things he had brought and tried to find out, if he had
forgotten anything, as the phone rang again.
"Hello?" He asked. "Hello Darling!" He sat down on the sofa as he
recognized the voice. "Hi Mom, how are things going in the USA? Are you all
feeling well?" Helen sighed. "We are all a little stressed at the moment.
Your father and I will come to the international food-competition on
Saturday again and we wanted to ask you if we could live with you." JD
laughed as he got up again and walked into the kitchen. "Of course you can
Mom, that's no problem. So what extraordinary meal is Dad preparing this
year?" "Don't ask me, I'm not allowed to come near the kitchen. He says
it's a big surprise, but who knows?! Did Meg call you?" "Yes she did and
we'll visit her in two weeks. Well, if Jo gets some days off." Helen
noticed his voice changing. "What's wrong, honey?" JD took a deep breath.
"She got this new project and she's working really hard on it, but she
isn't home very often anymore. And I really miss her." Helen could feel
that he was sad. "I understand that honey, I had to go through something
like that too when I was your age. I met your father and I got pregnant.
Soon we got married and Eric and Meg were born. Till this time, everything
was perfect, but then he started working for Prof. Sharp. From this point
on our lives got complicated and problems started to come into our family
and marriage. But you two are strong enough and you are both bionic and
hard working scientists. You will survive this, I'm sure you will. So you
don't have to worry about that." JD was relieved that his mother had told
him this. He knew how happy his parents were and that they first had
problems too. Then he remembered that he hadn't told his parents about
their future plans yet. "Thanks Mom and there is one thing I have to tell
you. Josephine and I will get married." Helen was sunned at first, but soon
let out a little scream of happiness. "Oh my God, JD this is wonderful! Our
3rd child will get married. I can't wait to tell your father, He'll be so
happy about that." As soon as she said that Jack came into the room,
alarmed by his wife's screaming. "Helen what happened?" Helen smiled at
him. "Sweetie, I'm just talking to JD and he said that he and Josephine
will get married!" Jack smiled at her and took the phone from his wife.
"Congratulations JD, I'm really happy that you two want to be together
forever. Congratulations, son!" JD was laughing at his parents. "Thanks Dad
and I am looking forward to see you on Saturday."
Josephine unlocked the door and walked in. She could hear JD talking to somebody on the phone. She went into the bedroom to get some fresh clothes. After 2 minutes she came out again in a comfortable red dress. JD was still talking and laughing on the phone. She always loved listening to him laughing. She went into the kitchen and prepared the salad and the pasta she had bought. The dinning room was full of candles and nice music and the table was set nicely. Josephine placed to plates with the dinner down on the table and walked over into the living room. From the doorway she watched JD sitting on the couch and talking. He was smiling and she was sure that he spoke to someone of his family. His family was so close. She wished her family was the same. But her mother died 6 years ago and her father was married to a new woman. She didn't even know her, because she didn't have any contact with her father since she moved to Paris. JD saw her standing in the doorway after some time and smiled at her. He winked at her and motioned her to come over to him. She smiled back and walked over to him. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her down on his lap. She sat down and wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her cheek on the top of his head. "Alright, Mom! Jo is here and we have to eat dinner now." "She is? Tell her congratulations and many greetings from me and your father, please!" JD held the receiver up higher so Josephine could listen too. "I'll do that Mom! See you soon! I love you!" "I wish you a nice evening and I love you too darling! Bye!" With that she hung up the phone. JD laid the phone down and wrapped his other arm around his love as well. They hugged each other tightly. "I missed you so much during the day!" Josephine whispered into his neck and he kissed her shoulder lightly. "I know that it's hard, but as long as we have the evening we can spend together, it'll be alright." JD said and moved his head to look at her. They kissed. "The food tastes really good!" JD said as they sat at the table. "But I really want to know why you are so quiet all evening?" He asked his fiancée and looked at her concerned. Josephine smiled sadly. She couldn't hide her feelings from him, he just knew her too well. But how could she tell him? She hadn't been at work all day. Just till lunch time and then she left school to see the doctor. How would he react? "Please tell me!" He begged and he got up as he saw that she was near the verge of tears again. He kneeled down next to her chair and put his hands on her shoulder. "Is something wrong with work?" She shook her head no and looked down. "I was just wondering when we will get married, JD." He looked at her surprised. "I would marry you right now if you want to!" He said laughing a little, because he knew that this wasn't the thing that was bothering her. Josephine sighed and looked at him, a tear running down her face. "I'm just asking, because when we wait a little longer, I won't fit into a normal wedding dress anymore." She whispered and looked away ashamed. JD looked at her surprised first, because he couldn't understand what she meant. Then his eyes widened in surprise. Was she really telling him, that... that she was... pregnant? He put his hand under her chin and turned her head to look into her eyes. "Is it true what I'm thinking?" He whispered and they looked into each others eyes. "Yes, JD, I visited the doctor today and he told me that I am pregnant in the 3rd month by now. We will become parents." She whispered and pressed her head onto his chest, crying. He wrapped his arms around her and helped her up. They looked at each other and JD started laughing. JD let out a surprised scream as he was spinning her around in the air and laughed. As he put her down again, she embraced him. "Oh Jo, I'm so happy, honey, we will be a real family, with our baby!" Josephine was crying tears of you and she couldn't remember a moment when she had been happier.
