The story of us. Part 2.

April 6, 2013 by Adrienne

Read part one here.

I stared at that little bottle of awful and shook my head. Surely not. Surely this is all for nothing, and I’ll have suffered without cause.

October 21. I am SOOO tired. And late. I stopped to buy a pregnancy test on the way home on my boss’s suggestion. I spent $6 on stupid, certain nothing was to be learned by the thing. After all, we can’t afford a baby. We weren’t ready. We had plans.

I went home, made supper, and left my new husband painting the kitchen to take the test. Almost instantly, two lines appeared.

“Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeee!”

He came into the bathroom, paintbrush in hand. I’m pretty sure from my tone he knew what was next.

“There’s two lines.”

“I don’t see two lines.”

“There’s two.”

“I only see one.”

He stared for a few more seconds, and the line kept getting darker.

“There’s two lines.”

He walked back to the kitchen with his paintbrush and went back to painting. He didn’t say another word for what seemed like hours.
