Marissa stood next to the kitchen sink in the Cohen house, twirling her wedding ring around her finger. Everyone had left for work or school and Kirsten went for yogalates, so finally Marissa was alone. She walked towards the bathroom hesitantly and sighed loudly. Pushing open the bathroom door she pulled out the pregnancy test from her pocket. She placed it on the countertop and thought for a moment, biting her lip, before tearing open the box. Meanwhile, Ryan toured the familiar house, full of memories and finally turned to the realtor and nodded.

Marissa sat on the bathroom floor resting against the counter behind her, when the beeping of kitchen timer went off in her hands. She held her breath and revealed the test. Positive. Her mouth dropped in shock; she didn't know whether to be happy or scared, or both. She pulled out her cell phone, looked at it for awhile, contemplating, then dialed the, all too familiar, number of her husband. He picked up on the first ring.

"Hey Marissa"

"Hi. Listen I need you to come home early today. I have something to tell you."

"Is it a surprise?" he said with his brow furrowed

"You could say that."

"Well then I have a surprise for you too."

Ryan walked in the door with a scarf hanging out of his pocket. Marissa had a rolled up zip lock bag hiding in her purse.

"You first" she stated

He agreed, excitedly, and wrapped the scarf around her eyes and made sure she couldn't see anything. He lead her into the car and finally pulled up somewhere. She heard the creak of a gate opening and soon after a door. Ryan pulled off the blindfold to reveal a fully furnished house, but not any house, the model home. Marissa gasped and threw her arms around Ryan, a tear falling down her cheek. She kissed Ryan and started looking around the house excitedly,

Ryan grinned, "Happy tears I hope?" She nodded, not knowing how to express her happiness.

After touring around the house, the two collapsed in the master bedroom. Marissa leaning on Ryan's chest

"Do I get my surprise now?" he asked sheepishly.

She nodded nervously and pulled out the zip lock bag from her purse and unrolled it. She dangled the bag in front of Ryan face and he held his breath and pulled the bag out of her hand. His smile widened and he threw his arms around Marissa's waist and picked her up and spun her around.

"A baby, Marissa, a baby." He stated obviously as his hand lay on her stomach and his cheeks started hurting from smiling. She just grinned and laughed and pulled him in for a passionate kiss.
