Katie shut off her laptop and sent Molly to her room with cookies and milk, crayons and construction paper, telling her that she and Owen needed to talk about something and that Molly could show her what she drew when they were done. She'd spent the morning with the girl, taking her out to get some things for the guest room, bedclothes and a few toys, just to make it more suitable for a little girl. Then they'd had sandwiches for lunch and had baked cookies. It had felt nice, taking care of someone else.
Then she'd had to tell Owen what had been on her mind since she'd found out the Friday before. She'd taken a test, three actually, before finally deciding to get a blood test to be sure. This wasn't something they had planned, but she was happy about it. Of course, Owen's reaction had her more than a little worried that he wouldn't be. She found herself pacing back and forth in the kitchen, waiting for him to come home, before finally forcing herself to sit still and flip on the television, watching the news without really paying attention until she heard the door open.
