“I don’t doubt it that they will fight to take care of the child, so I don’t think we need to worry about a nanny.” Susan was quite serious but there was a light tone to her voice. She grinned from ear to ear as she thought about the situation they had before them it wouldn’t be all bad, and there would be a bundle of joy. The stress she felt over the situation was dissipating as the biggest bridge to overcome was telling Ernie and she had done that. Susan felt silly for thinking it would be so hard or that his reaction would be anything less then pleasant. She was the optimist and she should have believed it would have been fine. The initial shock was fading and she felt that Ernie was warming to the idea.

“Dinner at your parents would be good, whenever we can fit it in.” Susan looked up at him. “I think they will be excited about it no matter when we tell them.” Susan hoped Ernie wasn’t stressing about tell his parents, “We could invite my folks too? Maybe tell them all at once?” Susan suggested the idea just in case he was nervous about telling their parents and that way they could get it out of the way all together. She was sure if they got them all together they would know something was up.

“I know Ernie, I know it isn’t fat.” She laughed and rolled her eyes a bit before smirking with a sweet snicker. “I am glad you will love me and think I am beautiful no matter what.” Susan was never worried that Ernie would think her ugly it was just the way he looked at her, even with her soil smudged face.

“I know how exactly how you get when you are behind in paperwork,” Susan had a smug look on her face. “I see you reading in bed.” She had grown use to him reading in bed but it didn’t stop her from trying to stop him and distract him, a few nights she had managed it. Susan pulled the covers up as he got dressed in to his nightwear, she ran her hand down over her stomach. As she felt his body move back into bed and his arms wrap around her she snuggled in.

“I wonder too,” she said quietly with her head against him. She closed her eyes, she figured sleep would come quickly. “What would you prefer?” She asked her voice sound quiet and fading.
