"What is it?" he repeated.
She couldn't control her smile.
"I'm pregnant."
"You--you are?"
"Yeah. Two months along. I went to the doctor yesterday."
"Oh, my God!"
He picked her up and spun her around.
"Are you serious?" he asked.
"Yes...I am. I hope it's a boy this time, though."
"Yeah...I do, too. I'm the only guy here."
She smiled.
She suddenly stood up and went to the stove.
"Dinner's ready. Will you tell the kids?"
"Yeah." He kissed her and ran upstairs.
While they were eating, Cora said, "All right, Mom. There's something you have to tell us. Am I right?"
"Yes, you are," Rose said.
"What is it?" Cora asked, excitedly.
"I'm having another baby."
"Baby!" Lizzy and Josie squealed.
"That's right," Jack said.
"Again?" Cora asked.
"Yes, again. I only gave birth once."
"Yeah, but to two of 'em."
Jack and Rose laughed.
After dinner, the girls went to bed, and Rose called Ruth.
She called Molly, Liz, and Brian also.
Jack told Mina and Oscar, who told them that Mina was also pregnant.
Jack and Rose were now in their room.
It was around midnight.
Jack kissed Rose, who welcomed it.
Their kiss deepened.
Their passion grew, and they made love.
