Ben's eyes lit up. His wife was pregnant. He was going to be a father. It was the best news he ever heard.

"What is she going to have," Benjamin asked Sweeney, "What are we naming it? Is it going to be beautiful? How long will it take for me to bond with the child?

Swenney laughed.

"It is a girl," he said, "Johanna and she is the most beautiful child I have ever laid eyes on. I loved her from the moment I found out that she was on the way."

It was like all the stress left Benjamin. Lucy came up.

"Hi darling," he said.

"Hi Ben," she replied, "I'm sorry I've been so moody lately."

"You couldn't help it," Benjamin said, "Sit- sit down"

Lucy couldn't help but smile before she saw Sweeney. She looked at Ben curiously.
