The Incubus - Chapter 2, Scene 4

Jump to Chapter: 1, 2





'We're going to be parents,' Justin said, still unable to believe the words leaving his mouth. 'I...I'm going to be a father.'

Rebecca forced a smile. She didn't know whether Justin was happy or unhappy about the fact that they were having a baby. She always wanted children, but Justin was dead set against it until—according to him—the time was "right". She figured it was his way of politely saying, "forget about it."

'I guess we have to celebrate,' he said as they left the hospital. 'How about I treat you to something to drink?'

'That sounds great,' Rebecca said and held up her hand. 'No alcohol though.'

'Definitely not,' Justin said, trying to sound as light hearted as he could manage. 'No alcohol or caffeine.'

'No coffee?' Rebecca asked and made a sad face.

'No coffee for the mommy,' Justin said and hugged her. 'Doctor's orders.' He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. 'Come,' he said. 'We'll get you something nice.'
