LuLu banged on the bathroom door loudly. " Open up," she demanded with fury on her chubby face , her legs shaking slightly in a strange sort of dance. " Why are you always hogging the bathroom, Nettie Jean ! "
Inside the bathroom Nettie Jean ignored her sister's babbling as she sat on the closed toilet with her tight jeaned legs crossed and her heavily made up eyes practically glued to what she held in her hand.
The pregnancy test that now registered positive.
She was pregnant with Jonah's baby.
She knew in her heart of hearts that LuLu's hideous triplets were not Jonah's babies but this one straight up was.
She smiled widely. She couldn't wait to tell Jonah. And , her sister.
------------
Jonah Simms loved a good party. Always had. Especially a birthday party. So he was quite enjoying the one they were having at the gag gifts office with cake from the WillieMart and punch for his supervisor Quincy although he didn't really care for Quincy much. The man tended to have a stick up his behind about most everything. Now Jonah was himself a conservative man but even he knew how to have a good time. Nettie Jean could attest to that , he thought with inward laughter as he heard his phone ding with an incoming text message in the midst of everyone singing a loud off off key rendition of happy birthday to the smiling with surprise boss.
He slid his phone out of his pants pocket and hitched them up over his slightly portly stomach. It was a text from Nettie Jean. Maybe she wanted to sext , he thought with amusement.
She didn't.
To his horror, he read her text : Baby , I'm pregnant. You're gonna be a daddy ! Happy Father's Day !
What......
A baby......
Another baby.....
The fourth baby......
At the thought of another mouth to feed , possible alimony to LuLu , all that child support, the mortgage...... suddenly his chest began to pound heavily. He groaned slightly as his coworkers laughed and talked loudly and cut the cake the boss had just blew out the candles on.
He couldn't.....
They couldn't....
As his chest pounded and his behind let loose a massive fart Jonah Simms collapsed forward, phone in hand, headfirst towards the large sheet cake on the long table in the break room.
His last thought was that he wished he had never met LuLu Klein.
