“Pregnant. I ran upstairs screaming. We'd found each other. Eric thought something was wrong because I was crying. I couldn't talk, just handed him the pregnancy test. What I'd known for that minute, he now knew, and I watched the excitement and relief wash over him. We called everybody.

I'm sorry I didn't call you, but I would have if I'd had your number.”
