JoAnna and Sophia entered the apartment. JoAnna was overjoyed and reminded herself silently few times not to scream that Sophia is pregnant. Sophia needs to tell Felix big news first.

JoAnna watched Sophia anxiously enter the guest bedroom. Sophia turned around and JoAnna gave her an encouraging smile. The door closed and JoAnna happily bobbed her head while heading to find Jeff.

JoAnna was startled that he was right behind her. "Hi...!!!" She almost screamed from surprise as Jeff lifted her up in one smooth move and carried her princess style to the bedroom. His eyes were wide open and he had a silly grin on his face. JoAnna found him to be funny and giggled. "I missed you too." She hugged him and kissed as he placed her gently on the bed. Jeff sat next to her on the bed and stared at her, like he is expecting something. JoAnna was about to tell him that Sophia is pregnant but stopped herself. 'Sophia should tell, it's her news. Even Felix does not know... I should not talk about it.'

Jeff on the other side looked at JoAnna expecting her to tell him that she is pregnant. 'Why is she not telling me? Maybe she is waiting for the right time. She probably planned an event where she will surprise me with the news. That is why she went to the mall, to make arrangements.' The more he thought about it, the more it made sense: she wants to surprise him with good news.

"How are you feeling?" Finally, he spoke.

"OK. My legs are a bit achy from the..." JoAnna could not believe that Jeff was already rubbing her feet.

"Is this helping?" He grinned.

"Yes, thank you." JoAnna noticed that he is more enthusiastic than usual. 'He probably had a good day at work. Or is excited that it's weekend.' Well, why would she miss on a good foot rub? JoAnna got herself comfortable on the pillows, leaned back, and closed her eyes.

...

In the guest bedroom, Sophia entered silently.

Felix was on the sofa with his laptop. When he heard the door close, he kept laptop on the side and walked to Sophia. "How are you feeling? Tired?"

"Little bit", she confessed.

"Let me help you." He kept her purse on the side and supported her while guiding her to the bed.

Sophia laid down, and he settled next to her. Felix embraced her and kissed her forehead. "Rest. I will hold you."

Felix noticed that Sophia is more reserved since they came from Montreal. He knows that she got upset there, and he told himself to be patient, that she will accept him again in time. But it seems that as the time passed, Sophia was getting more distant. Felix thought that Sophia is like sand that is escaping through his fingers. He felt helpless, not knowing how to get back his Sophia, the one that looked at him with warmth and passion like he is the most amazing man in the world. Felix told her that he will mend her broken heart, but it seems that it was getting worse. He was getting desperate, not knowing what to do.

"Felix..." Sophia's voice made his body jolt in attention. "What do you think about having kids?"

Felix froze. He remembered that his mother said that Sophia is old and will not be able to give him a large family. And he knows that Sophia heard those hurtful words. 'That must be the reason she is asking me.' He collected himself, "I don't care much about kids. As long as I'm with you, I'm happy."

Sophia bit her lip trying to suppress surge of emotions. 'He does not care about kids...'

Felix felt that she trembled slightly and tightened his hug. "Don't worry about what my mother said."

After hearing his words, Sophia felt that there is a miscommunication. She got up to sit on the bed and faced him. "Why are you bringing up your mother?"

Felix was confused. "Why are you bringing up having kids?"

"Because... " Sophia hesitated for a second. "I'm pregnant."

Felix jumped into a seating position and stared at her with his mouth half open.

Sophia tried to read his reaction, but besides shock, she could not see anything else. "I really need you to say something... or I will think that you are having a stroke."

Felix extended his arms and pulled her in his embrace.

He felt a relief, like a huge boulder fell off from his back. Having her in his embrace made him feel alive. For a week now he was worried that she is avoiding him, and now he found out that she is pregnant. Sophia is pregnant. He is going to become a father. He wanted to thank her for being with him, for giving him a chance at love, for making him happier than he could ever imagine, for sharing her life with him, for existing. Felix was not able to find words to express how he feels.

They held each other, Sophia was not sure how long before she heard him whisper, "I love you."

She sank deeper in his embrace.

...

Jeff exited from the room across the hall. He was heading to the kitchen and humming a tune.

In the room JoAnna was in thoughts. 'What's with him? He is too much today.' After the foot rub, he was offering to adjust her pillows, bring fruits, and if she wants anything that they don't have, he would go and get it for her. When she wanted her phone, he didn't let her get out of the bed, but he leaped to get it. At the end she told him that she wants herbal tea, and he immediately went to make her a cup.

JoAnna could not find a reason for his behavior. She went to change and freshen up.

In the bathroom, she noticed used pregnancy test on the sink. 'Oh, that is still here...' Then realization hit her like a thunderbolt. 'Jeff saw it... and he thinks it's mine... no wonder he is showing me extra care since I came back... oh, no...' JoAnna sat at the edge of the tub and rubbed her temples. 'He is so happy that I wish it's true...' JoAnna was trying to find a good way to tell him that she is not pregnant.
