   No, your eyes aren't trolling you this time. This chapter is the actual reveal.

[Julien's POV]

Jenna and I stopped at Fresh Bros for gluten free vegan free pizza before going home. She was a little mad because I've eaten 5 different things in the last hour, but what can I say? My mom said I'm not done growing yet. I know it's not official, but what're the odds of her not being pregnant? This isn't even a new idea for her, she's been thinking she's expecting for nearly 3 weeks now; I think Jenna was just too afraid to say anything or she didn't even want to know. She doesn't say a word to me. When I opened the front door, the dogs were all over us but Jenna just walked right past them. I try picking all three up; stuffing paesh in my shirt, and Stuffing marble and cermit in one arm and the pizza in the other. I run through the kitchen and drop off our food then dash over to the backdoor and let them all out. Mission complete. At this point, I have no idea where Jenna is, so I look through the whole house; I can't find her. After about 15 minutes of searching, I realize the dogs don't know how to open doors, and let them in. "Jenna?" I call out to her. "Otter! Where'd you go?"

Julien's calling out to me, but I don't want to answer. I'm not sad or anything, I just wanna be alone. I figured he'd go looking for me, so I'm laying inside of our bathtub (which he couldn't see inside of because it's really tall). I heard him open the door but he didn't see me. I don't think I even want to know if I'm pregnant... but I have to because at some point I'm going to be birthing a baby. I hear him stomping up the stairs with the dogs behind him. "Jenna, you're starting to worry me!" I sigh and get out of the tub. Julien sees me and gives me a hug. "What's wrong, otter?" He kisses my forehead. "Nothing. I just needed a minute to think, I guess." I smiled at him and nodded. I took the Walgreen's bag that I had set on out dresser, got out both pregnancy tests, and went into the bathroom. I can hear Julien nervously pacing around our bed. When I'm done, I call him in. I prop the tests up on a tissue box by the sink. Julien walks over to them. "Wait, you're not pregnant?" He flashes me sad eyes. I grin and laugh a little. "Julien, we have to wait five minutes until we get the results." "Oh, yea, that's right. I guess I just forgot from the last time I took a pregnancy test." He sits on the floor with me, and all the dogs come in and sit on our laps. "Would it really be that bad if I was pregnant? I mean, it'd be a lot of work, but we have the money, we have room, we have a ton of loving people around us." Julien nods his head. "Personally, I'd enjoy another little me running around. I don't know about a little Jenna..." Julien smiles and chuckles, and I unexpectedly scooped the dogs up and kissed him. We both fell over laughing, the dogs between us hopping around. I didn't tell Julien, but I want a third little human to be here, too.

[Julien's POV]

After the dogs settled down and we stopped laughing, Jenna took a deep breath. "I think it's time." She said quietly. I stood up an covered the tests with my hand so we couldn't see, then  pulled out my phone. I started a video and faced the camera toward Jenna and I. "This is a big moment. It's 6:07 p.m. on Saturday, February 27th of 2016." I said. "This is probably confusing right now, but we're also confused. Uh, in the video you clicked on, we'll evaluate a bit more of what's going on. I don't know when you guys are seeing this, probably sometime in mid March, but this is the official video of the results of my... pregnancy test." Jenna stated. "Also, we have not looked at these yet, so these are virtually our first reactions." I add. Jenna nod at me, so I turn my phone camera. I move my hand enough to reveal one test. It shows two lines, meaning pregnant. I flip my phone camera back to us. Jenna is in shock, with her hands clasped over her mouth. My eyes tear up. "Holy sh*t!" We both say. A second later, I move my hand revealing the second test. Our expressions drop. "...Why is there only one line?" Jenna asks in a whisper. I pick up the test, and there is only one line. She snatches it out of my hand, and looks closer. She sighs again, relieved. "What happened?" I ask her. Jenna shows the test to the camera and explains how from a distance, it appears that there's only 1 line, but up close there's 1 distinct line, and 1 faint one. We explain our feelings for another minute and I turn my phone off. Jenna jumps into my arms. Once I let go, she yells a congratulatory "HELL YEAH!"
