Taylors POV

"Thomas?" I said as I walked back into our room. Hiding the pregnancy test stick behind my back.

"Yes, sweetheart?" He replied, looking up from his book that he was reading. I couldn't hide my smile anymore. "Did something happen?" Wow. I thought. Why are guys so clueless. 

"Guess," I told him, grinning.

"Paula's tooth finally fell out?" He questioned. 

I stared at him, looking back at the bathroom. Last time I checked, Paula wasn't in the bathroom with me. "Um...no."

"Kieth finally asked that girl out?"

"Tommy, seriously?" I laughed. "I'm pregnant!" I finally burst.

He tried to grasp this news as he set down his book that he was holding. I held up the test. Thomas slowly got up from the bed. "We're pregnant?"

"Technically I'm pregnant, but yes, we are!" I said excitedly. At first, Thomas didn't know what to do, until he finally settled in for a hug. 

We both sat down on the bed, "Hey there little guy, I'm your daddy," Thomas rubbed my still flat belly.

I chuckled at the way he was acting. 

"What happened?" A sleepy voice said near the door. We both turned around and saw Paula yawning. Her hair was a mess, but you know what they say, she probably had a deep slumber.

Thomas and I looked at each other, debating if we should tell her now or later. I don't know how, but during our silent conversation, we agreed that we should tell her.

"Honey, do you want a brother or a sister?" I asked, smiling.

She instantly blossomed, "We're having a baby!?" She ran up to the bed, "If it's a girl, let's name her Julie, and if it's a boy, how about Hunter?!"

We laughed at her excited expression, "We'll have to wait and see," Thomas kissed her cheek. "Don't tell anyone yet, okay? It'll be our little secret."

Paula nodded, "Yes sir!" She pretended to zip her mouth and throw away the invisible key. She was growing so fast, its hard to keep up at times.

When Paula finally left, Thomas grinned, "I love you,"

"I love you more," I answered.

"I've loved you longer," he said quietly and slowly leaned it. The kiss was deep and passionate, it's hard to believe how good God is. The one who forgives and gives people a second chance. 

With Paula in the 3rd grade and a baby on the way, it just makes life all the more exciting.

Thank You, God, for giving me the happiness that I longed for so long and a daughter that brought us together. I couldn't wish for more.
