Another baby

Was it possible? Jenny hadn't even considered the idea of another baby, but there she sat staring at the plus sign on a pregnancy test. She didn't care how or who at the time, all that mattered was that she was going to be a mommy again. She was overjoyed!

She ran and jumped in Scotty's lap and they just laughed and smiled and talked about the new baby and dreams they had for it. Jenny got out an old T-shirt and a permanent marker and wrote "What Baby?" On the front and "I'm pregnant!" on the back. She then walked downstairs and knocked on her mom's door.

Jenny's mom yelled "Come in!" and when she turned to see Jenny's shirt her jaw dropped. "No..." She said, "You're not, are you?". "Yep. I'm PREGNANT!!!" She squeeled! Her sister Missy walked in and had almost the same reaction to the news. With no one seeming to share in her joy, Jenny returned upstairs to find Scotty's comforting arms so she could feel happy about her baby without all the negative looks and stares from her family.

It was getting so hot outside, and of course Jenny's hormones were insane from the pregnancy, so one day she jumped up and grabbed the scissors. She ordered Scotty to follow her downstairs and once they got to the alley she handed him the scissors and asked him to just chop all her hair. "Just cut it right here," as she motioned to her chin line, "all the way across, I don't care if you mess up." Scotty did as she asked and her beautiful hair blew down the alley way. Jenny smiled a crooked smile and shook her hair as she pranced back upstairs to cool down in the air conditioning.
