A month passed. Terri was finally able to put the whole affair with Larry behind her. Although she still felt as though someone was watching her. She decided that she was being silly and let it go.
One morning she woke up feeling sick to her stomach. It was flu season, so she didn't think anything about it. She called in sick and stayed in bed. A week later she still didn't feel any better. She knew that it was something more than the flu.
Terri was in shock. She was pregnant. She had just gotten the results of the test back from her doctor. What was worse was that she knew who's baby she was having. She was pregnant with Larry's baby. She just knew it. It wasn't something she could explain, since she had been intimate with both me around the same time. She just knew.She walked into the house and saw Jack sitting at the table. He smiled and said "Hi sweetheart! Everything go okay at the doctor's office?"
Terri shook her head, but said nothing. Jack got a worried look on his face and said "Terri? Your scaring me sweetheart! What is wrong?"
Terri said it so softly that Jack didn't hear at first "I...I'm pregnant..."
A smile broke out on Jack's face and he smiled and said "That's wonderful sweetheart!!!"
Terri smiled at his joy. Jack loved all of his kids. This baby would be no different. She laughed as he said "Well, it has been awhile, but wow...a baby!"
"Yeah, the doctor says it should be a Christmas baby!!"
Jack smiled and said "Perfect time of year to be born!!"
Terri smiled and watched as he walked around the room. Making plans. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Jack looked at Terri and said "I'll get it! You rest!"
Terri laughed and watched him go. Suddenly she heard and all to familiar voice saying "Hey Jacko!"
Her heart froze in her throat as Jack and Larry came into the kitchen. Jack smiled and said "This makes the day perfect! My old friend comes to visit and I find out that I am going to be a daddy again!!"
Larry's eyes narrowed and he said "Oh really Terri? When is the baby due?"
Terri swallowed hard and said "Christmas time."
Larry smiled and said "Oh really..."
Terri sighed and said "Yes, Larry! Do you have a problem with that?"
Larry smiled and said "Nope, none at all..."
Jack smiled and took Larry into the living room to talk. Terri sat speechless in the kitchen of their home...
