      Two best friends contemplate the pregnancy kit with trepidation, carefully reading the instructions.   A positive result will change everything.  No college, no life, no man, reputation ruined, no future…oh God! 

     Seconds tick, sweat forms, breaths held.  Judgment comes:  sighs, tears, sweet relief.

         Late night feedings, diaper duty, first steps, skinned knees, birthday parties, school graduation, worrying, a lifetime of joy: simply priceless.
