Story Time- Part 3

Sparky: I hope everyone is ready for our third episode. Today we will hear the story of "Is that a + on the stick!?!" Grab your buddy, some snacks, & a blankie. We need everyone to follow the rules as we travel back to late Spring 2007. Robert, you need to keep your hands in the time machine! Off we go ->->-> Daddy was in Iraq for the second time as 2007 started. My parents spent a lot of time emailing & talking while he was gone. Mommy even started our blog as a way for him to keep up with us. As his tour was ending mommy's birth control was running out. Mommy mentioned to daddy that she had to get more. Daddy asked mommy to hold off because he wanted to try to start a family. Mommy didn't want to burst his bubble so she agreed. Daddy knew that mommy's doctors said she wouldn't be able to get pregnant. When daddy came home life started to return to normal & my parents didn't mention the starting a family thing again. A few weeks later daddy decided to buy a new TV (a big flat screen, LCD, HD thingy). Mommy had been feeling sick for a few days & just sat in a chair for most of the shopping & purchasing. She had been so sick that she even had to walk out on a client to throw up 2 days prior. Mommy assumed she had food poisoning or a flu bug. She continued to feel tired & achy all of the time. For some reason mommy decided to look up early pregnancy symptoms on daddy's phone one night as she was laying in bed. Mommy got very nervous as she slowly went down the list & was mentally checking off all of the symptoms listed. Mommy was off work the next day & she decided to get a pregnancy test from Target. Mommy stood in the isle feeling like an idiot as she stared at dozens of different tests. She picked up a few boxes then read them, checked prices, & thought about how she was going to do this. Mommy had visions of standing over a stupid pee soaked stick trying to count lines or question is that a +? She finally decided that it would be best to get the idiot proof one. It actually displayed pregnant or not pregnant. As mommy was leaving she called Aunt Donna about taking the test there. Mommy really didn't want to be alone when she did this. Unfortunately Auntie dear was not available. Mommy went home to wait for daddy. She paced & paced until finally daddy came home (35 minutes after mommy). Daddy went to go smoke while mommy started the test. You need to wait 5 minutes anyway. Mommy started the test & began to get up to wash her hand. She noticed the screen had writing on it after only 60 seconds. Her eyes began to tear up & she screamed. Daddy & I came running wondering what was wrong. Mommy handed daddy the stick as she cried. Daddy looked at mommy & said "I'm not taking the TV back". Mommy just started to laugh. I think everyone knows what became of our life after that little stick showed the word "pregnant".
