Chapter 3
"Abbey, you're not fine. You don't throw up unless you're sick or pregnant…."
Jed stopped to consider the implications of what he had just said. A smile crossed his face as he saw Abbey nod. "You're pregnant! Great! When? How? What?" He leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss.
Abbey smiled. She was glad he was happy. At least somebody was.
"Abbey, are you okay? When? What?"
"Slow down, Jed. I'm fine. Yes, I'm pregnant. I just found out today. Come on back to the living room and I'll tell you all you need to know."
She took his hand and led her smiling husband to the living room, stopping only to pick up the small package off the table.
They sat on the sofa, turning to look at each other.
"Now here are the answers. I just found out today. I'm about six weeks or so. And you know how. I think it was my Mother's Day gift."
They both laughed at her last statement.
"Here. I was going to give these to you earlier, but you didn't make it home in time." She handed the small package to Jed.
As he ripped off the paper, two tiny white booties fell into his hands. He held them up as the grin on his face spread from side to side.
"I love you." Jed pulled Abbey into his arms and kissed her deeply.
She let him have his excitement tonight.
Tomorrow there would be plenty of time to deal with the realities.
