“Surprise. I’m pregnant!”
These words rang out as my daughter Mallory popped in my kitchen door.
My heart caught in my throat. Pregnant? She knew she was not supposed to get pregnant, so if this were a joke, it was a poorly thought-out one.
“But, Sweetie......”
“No buts! I have a baby growing inside me, so don’t ruin it for me.”
“But...”
“I said no buts! All I’ve ever known for sure is that I want to be a mother. Now I’m gonna be one.”
“Well, I'm pregnant, too. Who’s going to take you to chemo while I’m home with morning sickness?”

This is very good Is it true?
I've reread it three times, and I'm still a bit confused. If my interpretation is right, this sounds like big trouble to me.
Am I missing something here?

Oh CJ, I hope you're going to follow up to let us know if this is true, and if so, that everything was alright. That was gripping. laurie
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
It's like rain...on your wedding day...
That song just popped into my head when I read this. Wow. This was definitely be a pickle on so many levels.
I suspect the characters would muddle through though!
