It had been 6 weeks since our trip to Colorado and I was puking my guts out.  Brad was at work.  "Alivia."  I called into the other room.  She came in.  "Bring mommy the phone."  she did as I asked.  I called Brad.

"Hello?"

"Brad, I need you to come home."

"I'll be right there baby."

He arrived 20 minutes later.  I managed to make it out of the bathroom and into the kitchen.  "Daddy, you home!"

"Yes, I am.  Where's mommy?"

"In the kitchen."  Jr. said.  Brad came in.

"Baby, are you okay?"

"No.  My period's late, I'm throwing up, and my head hurts very badly."  He grabbed me a bottle of water and lifted me up.  He carried me into the living room and set me on the couch.  He fixed the pillows and blankets for me.

"I'm going to go to the store to get you some soup and something for your head."  He went to turn around.

"Brad."  I said grabbing his hand.  He crouched beside me.  "Make sure you grab a test."  I said.  He smiled.

"Anything else?"

"Not right now."  He pressed his lips to my forehead.

"I love you."

"I love you too."  he stood up and grabbed his keys.

"Daddy, can I go with you?"  Alivia asked.

"Me too?"  Jr asked.

"All right.  Get ready to go."  Brad handed me the remote and turned the TV on for me.  He set the trashcan beside the couch.

I woke up about an hour later, Brad sitting at my feet.  "How ya feelin'?"

"Okay, I guess."  I said.  He held out the box that contained the test.  I stood up and stumbled slightly.  He caught me.  "Just a little light headed from throwing up."  I said.  He let me go.  I went into the bathroom and took the test.  "Brad, I'm going to take a quick bath."

"All right, let me know if you need anything."

"Okay."

I finished my bath and dried off.  I changed into the jeans and t-shirt Brad set on the counter for me.  I checked the test and it was a strong positive.  I opened the bathroom door and went into the kitchen.  Brad looked up.  "So?"

"We're having a baby."  I said.  He hugged me lifting me off the floor.

Two months later, Brad's mom and dad were over for dinner.  Dr. Richards confirmed that I was pregnant.  A total of 12 weeks pregnant.  Brad was beyond excited.  Marci and Kevin were over because Alivia wanted to play with Riley.  Jr. was sitting in Brad's lap, Brad holding the remote for the train set.  Jr. was watching as it went around the railroad tracks.  Marci and Kevin's daughter, only about a year old was walking around the railroad tracks.  Max and Zula came in, Zula was pregnant.  The last thing Brad wanted was puppies, but when they got old enough to be away from Zula they were going to the rest of the family.

There was a knock on the door, Brad stood up holding Jr., he set him down and went to get the door.  Jr. saw Brad carrying his two month old nephew and tried to give Brad the controller for the trainset.  "Not now buddy."

"But, daddy you were playing with me."

"I'll play more later."  he said sitting down with baby Lucas.  Matt and Julie sat down on the other couch.  Jr. tried again.  "I'll play more later, Jr."  Jr. set the remote down and walked into the kitchen.  I stood up and felt Brad's eyes on me.  I went into the kitchen and found my little man crying in the corner.
