Emily's hand shook as she picked up the phone. With a shaky voice she answered as Matt scooted closer and took her hand.

"Hello." Emily answered looking at Matt who squeezed her hand.

"Mrs. Flannery?" The nurse questioned.

"Yes." Emily replied releasing Matt's hand and standing to pace.

"I'm calling with the results of your tests. You are about two months pregnant. Congratulations. You'll need to make an appointment with your ob/gyn. We called in a perscription for prenatal vitamins to the pharmacy on record. You can stop taking everything else. Do you have any questions?" The nurse stated grinning that she got to give good news.

"Uh, no. Thank you." Emily responded hanging up the phone and bursting into tears. Matt pulled her onto his lap and turned her head so that she could cry into his chest. He was sure this time she was pregnant. Matt rubbed her back trying to console her but his own heart was breaking.

"Em, baby, I'm so sorry. I thought for sure they were going to tell us that you were pregnant." Matt said letting his own tears fall as he gently kissed the top of her head.

"What? Matt no. I am pregnant. I have your child growing inside me." Emily explained looking at Matt and swiping at her own tears before wiping his and letting her hands rest on his cheeks.

"You are? Then why are you crying?" Matt asked shifting Emily to a more comfortable place on his lap.

"Because I can't believe it finally happened. Baby I am so happy that we are finally going to be parents. Matt I love you so much." Emily said kissing him and running her hands through his thick black hair.

Matt picked her up and carried her into the bedroom as they celebrated their favorite way. Afterwards, Emily lay on Matt's chest stroking his bare skin.

"Matt?" Emily questioned, looking up into his face.

"What?" He replied in a soft voice.

"Are you really happy about this?" She asked biting her bottom lip.

"Yes. I can't wait to hold our baby." He said kissing her to add emphasis.

"Good. I can't either. Do you want boy or a girl?" She continued her interrogation.

"Either one, just so it's healthy." He responded sitting up a little.

"Whatever. I know you have a preference. I bet you want a little boy so you can play sports with him." Emily teased scooting in between his legs and taking his hand and running it over her smooth belly.

"Actually. I want a little girl that's just like you." He stated earning him a kiss that was soon deepened and they found themselves laying back down and enjoying each other's bodies content to do so for the rest of the night until Emily's stomach began growling and her cravings kicked in.

Matt spent an hour driving to fast food restuarants to get all of her desires including a chocolate peanut butter milkshake before returning home and cuddling on the couch watching a movie. The couple was content with the changes that were going to take place and couldn't wait to tell their friends tomorrow.
