Ch.3 Telling Daddy
"Lu? Is that you?" Jonas called from the kitchen when he heard the door close.
"Yeah babe! It's me. How was your day?" Lu asked as she wrapped her arms around his waist and gave him a heartfelt kiss.
"One word. Busy." he said with a sigh. "How about you?"
"Well, no one died. Jonas, can we talk? Just really fast. Then you can get back to making my delicious dinner." she said in a playful manner.
"Okay, sure." Jonas said, taking Lu by the hand and leading her to the couch. "So what do you want to talk to me about?" he asked, totally oblivious to what was about to be said.
"Jonas, I'm just going to give it to you straight. I'm... I'm..." she stuttered.
"You're what?" Jonas asked.
"I'm pregnant." Lu blurted out.
"You're pregnant?" Jonas said stunned.
"Yeah, he or she will be here in about July."
"Wow! Okay. Just let this sink in a minute."
"Oh! I knew I should have just given you the test for Christmas!"
"No, no! It's better you told me now," Jonas said, finally understanding the word pregnant.
"So, um, I just have to ask. How do you feel about this?" Lu asked, feeling so scared she thought that she really was about to puke.
"You make it sound like it's a bad thing! Sweetie, this is the greatest news you could have given me!" Jonas said. He was really excited about being a dad.
"Really?" Lu cried, happy that Jonas had taken the news so well.
"Really! Man! I'm going to be a father!" Jonas cried.
