"This can't be happening to me!" She said as she held the stick in her hand. It showed a blue plus sign that confirmed Janet's worst fear. She was pregnant. She sank down into the bathroom floor and started to cry. "David is going to be so angry!" She thought. "How could I let this happen? I should have been more careful!" She scolded herself. She got up and paced the floor, knowing that she only had one day to figure out how to tell David.
Jack changed the sign from open to closed as he locked the door of the bistro. "What a night!" I breathed. He felt like he had served food to an army that night. He heard a knock on the back door and went to open it, knowing that it was Larry coming to meet him for their nightly cup of coffee. "Ready Jack-O?" Larry greeted his buddy with a smile. "Yeah, just let me grab my coat." Jack grabbed his coat and followed Larry out the door.
"Sure is a nice night." Larry commented. "Say Jack, why don't we take a walk on the beach?" He offered. "Sounds good." Jack agreed. They took the short cut across the pier and on to the beach. The moon was shining over the ocean and all was peaceful. "Larry? Do you think I'll ever find love again?" Jack asked after a long silence. "I dunno buddy." Larry answered honestly. "But I certainly hope so." He said reassuringly as he put an arm around his friend.
David arrived home right on schedule, just as Janet feared he would. He opened the front door and greeted her with a big hug. "I missed you sweetie!" He said as he held her tight. "I missed you too." She managed to say. He put down his briefcase and sat down on the couch, patting the spot next to him. "Did anything happen while I was gone?" He asked as he put his arm around her. She took a deep breath. "David…I'm pregnant."
"You're what!" He yelled out in shock. "I'm pregnant David. I'm going to have your baby." He stood up and stared at her angrily. "No! No way!" He yelled. "This can't be happening! Are you sure?" She nodded and he slammed his fist against the wall. "You'll just have to get I taken care of." She starred at him in horror. "What do you mean David?" "You know what I mean!" He snapped. "You'll go to the doctor first thing tomorrow." "What if I don't want to?" She challenged him. "Janet, we talked about this before we got married. I told you that I did not want children and you agreed." "I only agreed because I was hoping to change your mind." "Well, that's not going to happen!" He replied angrily. He stomped upstairs to their bedroom and she fell to the floor in tears.
