minutes.”
                  “Alright.” Sadi sighed. It sounded simple enough.
                  As she peed into the glass jar in the privacy of the bathroom, she felt like she was going to be sick from nerves. God, she had said there was no way she could be pregnant but what if she was wrong? She had run out of birth control and just assumed everything would be fine. Oh god, Luke didn’t even want children.
                    As Sadi handed in her pee test she noticed that her hands shook slightly. She tried to still them and act calm.
                  Finally she was put back into the exam room and her doctor came back in.
                  “Well Sadi, I have fantastic news. It seems that you are indeed pregnant.”
                  Sadi took one look at her doctor and burst into tears. “I don’t understand how that could happen! I ran out of birth control, but it was only a couple weeks. I heard it took a long time to wear off…. I don’t want to have children right now. My husband doesn’t even like kids!”
                  The doctor handed Sadi a tissue. ‘I’m sure it will be fine, dear. If you need help, come back in and see me. You know that you always have other options.”
                  Ugh. That sounded so ominous. Sadi thanked the doctor in a haze. As she left, she felt completely numb. How could she have let this happen?
                  Sadi called Luke as soon as she got home. “You have to come home, Luke,” she pleaded through tears. “Please.”
                    Luke arrived home twenty minutes later, crazy with worry. He ran to Sadi and gathered her up in his arms as soon as he was in the front door. “What’s wrong Sadi?” Luke pleaded, stroking her back.
    Sadi could hear the real fear in Luke’s voice. Suddenly she felt very silly. She knew this must look bad. She had just gone to see her doctor and arrived home in tears. Luke would only naturally assume the worst.
                  “Luke,” Sadi looked up, wiping away tears with the back of her hand. “I’m pregnant. I’m sorry…” she went on to tell him the whole thing, about running out of birth control and not telling him and how dumb she had been. “I’m sorry,” she finished lamely. “I know you don’t want kids.”
                  Luke’s mouth fell open, a blank expression on his face. “What are you talking about Sadi? I’ve never said I didn’t want children? Did I?”
                  Sadi slowly shook her head. “No I guess not, you’ve just never said you wanted them.”
                  Luke's smile was slow to come, but when he finally did smile it lit up his whole face. “I’m happy about this Sadi! I couldn’t be happier! You have nothing to apologize for.” He hugged her to his chest, holding her until her last few sobs subsided.
                    Finally Sadi pulled away. “I’m scared Luke,” she whispered. “I still have so many things I want to do.”
                  Luke grabbed her hand and squeezed it. “Me too,” he said. “But we’ll get through it. Every couple does. And in the end we will have a beautiful daughter or son who is our very own. Having a baby is going to change our lives for the better. God Sadi, I feel like you’ve given me my life back. You have given me every reason to hope and to find joy, even without Connor.”
                  It was one of the few times Luke mentioned Connor and it took Sadi by surprise. She glanced at her husband and could see that he was still grieving for the brother who remained lost, yet there was something else in his eyes: joy, hope, a light that hadn’t been there before.
                    Luke placed his hand on Sadi’s flat stomach. “I hope it’s a daughter Sadi, and that she looks exactly like her mother. So
