“What do you mean by you’re pregnant Gracie”

“I don’t understand your question. I said I’m pregnant”

“But how can it be possible. We were careful Gracie”

“That is what you get when two adults does not use protection”

“Grace please tell me you’re joking”

“Sorry David but I am not joking. I just came back from the hospital this morning and I’m three weeks gone”

“But how could you allow this happen. You always tell me that you will take care of yourself and now here you are saying that you’re pregnant. Don’t you know I’m a married man” I thundered

“But you gave birth two months ago and the doctor told us the other day that you’re fit to do anything and even start work if you choose to.
