Madge had to be sure. After grocery shopping she put the cold foods away and ran up to the bathroom. She dropped the bag on the ground and locked the door. She leaned against the counter and reached down to the bag, setting it in front of her. She took out the narrow boxes and lined them up. She opened one and dropped the box and the instructions into the waste basket. She didn't need directions these things were simple. Minus sign meant no, plus sign meant yes.
Soon she was shaking the test over the sink and letting it settle over the drain. She turned away from it, her head fogging up with worry and excitement. There came a knock on the door, "Madge?"
"What?" She called.
"Are you done grocery shopping?"
"Yeah," she smiled at the closed door, "can you go down and continue putting the food away?"
"Of course" her husband said but he didn't part from the door. "Are you okay?" He asked.
Madge raised an eyebrow, "yeah, fine, just going to the bathroom."
"Alright..." she waited for him to continue down the steps. She turned looking down at the sink. It was a bright blue minus sign. Madge froze. She had thought she was pregnant. "Are you..."
"Gale! Leave me alone!" She snapped. She froze hoping that he didn't get upset. She heard his feet on the stairs and she sagged against the counter. Maybe the test was wrong. The test is always wrong in the movies. Madge picked up another box and tried again. This time she watched it.
"Still alright in there?" Gale asked. Madge watched in horror as the blue line appeared again.
"Fine" She murmured, "I'm fine." She said louder but this time she was saying it to herself. Gale continued back down the hall, probably to his office so Madge turned on the water. She was going to take another test; she had two more to try.
She jumped when Gale knocked on the door but she was too far from the sink to turn it off. He was going to guess what she was doing. "Are you washing your face?"
"Yeah I wasn't feeling good so I thought some cold water would help." She lied. Gale tried the doorknob.
"Why did you lock the door?" He asked. Madge closed her eyes trying to restrain her annoyance with him. She ran over and turned off the water, dropping the test into the sink.
"I just wanted some privacy, darling." She sighed and clutched the counter, waiting for the test to turn red with results. It turned into a blue minus sign. She wanted to scream.
"Are you doing pregnancy tests?" He asked. Madge groaned and let the door fly open.
"Yes!" She cried and wandered down the hall, "but they're all negative so don't get your hopes up." She stomped down the hall to her room where she fell onto the bed. She had been so sure, maybe it was the new brand that she tried that was giving her false results.
"Madge?" Gale called.
"What?" She yelled into her pillow.
"Did you read the directions to this thing?" He asked.
"No! I know how they work, Gale." She hissed and curled herself into a ball. Gale wandered into their bedroom and handed her the sheet.
"Really?" He asked, "Because here it says that the test turns blue if you're pregnant and blank if you're not after two minutes and all the tests you tried are blue." Madge sat up and scanned the directions herself then turned to Gale.
"So..." she lost her breath.
"You're pregnant." Gale laughed and put his arms around her. Madge let out a little laugh and tears rolled down her face.
"I knew it!" She giggled and wrapped her arms around her husband's neck.
"If only you had read the directions..." Her husband sighed. Madge blushed and shrugged.
"It was better that we found out together." Madge beamed
"It was." He nodded and kissed her forehead. They sat quietly for a minute before Madge bounced up and put her hair into a ponytail.
"Let's go shopping!" She smiled and dragged him off the bed.
"For what...?" Gale asked as he was dragged from the room.
"Baby stuff of course!" Madge huffed.
"So soon?" Gale laughed, "We don't even know the gender!"
"Does that matter?" Madge cried.
"Uh... I don't know." Gale said and rubbed the back of his neck.
"You drive, I spend" She grinned and wandered down the stairs. Gale made a face but reluctantly followed her out to the car.
"Let's not go crazy..." he murmured.
"Please." Madge snorted.
Gale rolled his eyes, "What does that even mean?" He asked himself and slid into the car.
