Breaking the News - Week 4

So I got home from work and Fatima was already home. I road my bike that day, you know because I try to stay in shape! When I was walking up the stairs I saw the stray kittens that we had been keeping an eye on recently and that Fatima desperately wanted to adopt one. I thought it would be nice to grab one and bring it up and surprise Fatima! So, I come in the door with the kitten and Fatima is really surprised but at the same time a little reluctant (which I didn't think any thing of at the time). I get the cat box ready and we put the kitten on the bed (all the while pushing Murry aside and yelling at him for hissing). Now, I look up at Fatima and she looks like she is going to cry. So of course, I asked what was wrong and if she was feeling ok. The answer I got was definitely not what I expected. She said, "It doesn't look like I am going to get my period"... I honestly don't really remember my first thought, but I do remember getting very happy and thinking how great a mom Fatima will be and how much I was excited about being a dad! Enough with the mushiness, I immediately hugged and kissed the mother to be and proceeded to take the kitten back down stairs and promptly said, "sorry kitty I am going to have my hands full"!
