CHAPTER FIVE – "A Test & A Shocker"
The next morning Jesse and Becky woke up next to each other. They both ventured down the steps into the kitchen. Their family was waiting for them.
"Hey guys, where were you for dinner last night?" Jesse's eldest niece, DJ, asked.
"We were…occupied," Becky said grinning at Jesse.
"But we are going to go run some errands, so don't wait up," Jesse said to the rest of the family. He grabbed Becky by the hand and led her out the door.
As they hopped into the car, they both had the same thing in their mind. They were thinking that at that moment, Becky could be carrying their baby. There was no happier thought that could have entered Jesse's mind.
"Do you want me to run in and get it, honey?" Becky asked her husband referring to buying the pregnancy test.
"Yeah, I will wait out here for you. Can you tell this early though?"
"No, but I just thought we could buy it early so we can find out as soon as it happens," Becky replied with a huge smile on her face.
"Okay, sounds good."
After Becky picked up the test, the couple rode back home to their family. Even though they haven't shared the news that they were trying, they couldn't help but be excited throughout the day. Since it was a Saturday, the Tanner household had a family day and got to spend time together.
The week progressed in normal activity, and finally the time to take the test arrived. "Jess, are you nervous?" Becky asked her husband.
"Baby, as long as we are doing this together, you are all I need."
"Okay, it's ready…" Becky said with a shaken voice. "It's negative."
"Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. We can try again," Jesse tried to console his wife.
So they continued to try but had the same results. Because of their failed attempts, the couple resorted to talk to a doctor. In the hospital room, the doctor looked over the tests and came to a conclusion.
"Becky and Jesse, I have some news about your attempts to conceive a child," the doctor continued, "I am sorry but the chances for you to have a child are slim to none.
Becky glanced at Jesse who started to break down and cry.
