The Pregnancy Part 2: Telling DJ

After I recovered from jumping up and down, and I am able to wipe the grin off of my face, I go out to the garage to get DJ. I politely and calmly ask him to come into the house for a minute. He follows me back into the house where I pick up the test and thrust it in face.
“WE, ARE, PREGNANT!!!” I say with much excitement in my voice.

“Its very faint” he says calmly.

“But its there” I reply.
I forget what he says next, but I know that he knows it better be something good so as not to set me off into tears. I think it was like a WOW or something like that.

Then he also calmly says “Ok, well, don’t tell anyone.

To which I reply “Why not?”

“Cause we don’t know for sure” he says.

To which I think about kicking him for, but instead say “Yes we are sure. There are no false positives, only false negatives”

“Ok, but still let’s not say anything to anyone”

Little did he know, I had already called my Mom and told her, and my sister happened to be over, so she already knew the news too within 3 minutes of the appearance of that wonderful pink line. Needless to say, that night when I made him call friends and family to tell them, he started the sentence with “We THINK we are pregnant.” Infact, he said we THINK for the next couple of weeks. I think he finally started to believe that faint pink line meant something once the crying and frequent mood swings set in.
