Gemma didn't know why she hadn't told Brad the moment she realized she was late. Maybe it was because she was afraid to get their hopes up. She was afraid to get her own hopes up in case she was wrong, after all. That was why she'd waited a full week to buy a pregnancy test. Her period had been due a week ago, but when it didn't come on schedule, she tried to tell herself she was just late. She tried to tell herself she couldn't get her hopes up only to have them crushed. She was afraid to believe that after what felt like an eternity of trying, it had finally happened. She did her best not to wake him when she slipped out of the bed they shared this morning. If the test was negative.. well, at least she wouldn't have gotten him up and gotten him excited for nothing. After tiptoeing into the bathroom, she opened the box and pulled out the test. The wait after she'd peed on the stick was agonizing. It seemed to take FOREVER and then she was almost afraid to look at the results. Once she did look, though, she forgot all about not wanting to wake her husband. She let out a loud squeal as she grabbed the stick and rushed back into the bedroom, pouncing onto their bed. "Brad, Brad, wake up!" Maybe she should have just let him sleep, but she was too excited. She wanted him to wake up now so he could share that excitement. |
