Team8s and Counting

87. A Change in Plans

Donut and Barf Bag we're starting to look more into the whole adoption process after having a talk with Needle. They were still deciding whether adoption was even right for them. After all, the two still had a lot to think about as far as having a child, and there were still other options that they had yet to consider, such as possibly surrogacy or fertility treatments.

They spent what felt like hours looking at videos about the adoption process, parents who had adopted before, and different adoption agencies to think about. The rest of the team was all out at the mall, giving Barf Bag and Donut some much needed time to themselves to look into everything.

"I'm liking this place already," Barf Bag said, scrolling through another adoption agency.

Donut glanced over at her, "hold your horses, Barfy, we just opened the site."

Barf Bag chuckled, "Trust me, I've looked at a lot of websites in my life, Donut, I know a good site when I see one!"

The two of them continued to scroll through the site, liking what they were seeing. Eventually, they were about to move on to yet another agency they saw while browsing the web.

"Man, adoption is a lot harder then I would have thought it would be," Donut stated, "Are you sure you really want to do this? We haven't even tried any fertility treatments yet!"

Barf Bag rolled her eyes with a smile on her face, "Of course I've been thinking about fertility treatments. But I know way more about those than I do adoption agencies."

Donut sighed, "I suppose you're right Barfy. It's not like you didn't do all that training to get to where you are now."

Barf Bag chuckled, before getting up from her seat, "I'm just gonna head to the restroom real quick, Donut," she said, as she headed out the door, "Keep looking through the other sites."

"Okay, Barfy."

He continued doing research, looking more deeply at the websites. All the sudden he heard a gasp coming from the bathroom.

"Donut." Barf Bag said, sounding very startled.

"Yes?" He questioned.

"Come here."

Donut immediately rushed over to Barf Bags side in the bathroom, a million thoughts running through his head. Once he got to her and looked over her shoulder, to see her looking down at a pregnancy test she just took. After taking a closer look at it, he was immediately shocked.

"It's...positive," he said, shaking. "Oh my Bakery."

Barf Bag was still in shock, but she slowly started forming a smile on her face. "Donut...WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BABY!" Barf Bag screamed as she jumped into Donut's arms.

"Woah, woah, woah Barfy," Donut said, as Barf Bag let go of him. His mouth was still open, still not believing what just happened, "I gotta let this sink in for a minute."

Barf Bag felt bad for scarring Donut, "Sorry, I just got excited!"

Donut wondered what even prompted her to check in the first place, "Why did you even decide to take a test?"

"Well...I didn't want to alarm you," Barf Bag twiddled her thumbs, "but I am late. But...you know me, I'm always late. I just took the test as a precaution. I didn't think it was going to be positive, I swear!"

"You should have told me you were taking a test, Barfy," Donut said, "When you called me over I thought something bad had happened."

"Well, sorry for the alarm," Barf Bag said, still shaking from excitement, "I just can't believe this is happening!"

"Just as we were about to get into this whole adoption process too!" Donut said, chuckling.

The two of them marveled at the pleasant irony of their current situation as they headed back to their room.

Barf Bag laughed along with Donut, the initial shock slowly transforming into a shared joy between them. "I guess life has its own plans for us," she said, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

Donut nodded, still trying to wrap his head around the sudden change. "Yeah, I suppose it does. So much for all that research we were doing," he said, pointing to the computer screen that still displayed an open tab about adoption agencies.

Barf Bag smiled and closed the laptop. "We can always revisit it if we need to, but for now, I think we have a new adventure to prepare for."

Donut wrapped his arms around Barf Bag, placing his hands on her belly, "I can't believe our baby is here! I never thought this day would ever come!"

Barf Bag tried not to cry at her husbands words, glancing down at her belly, "Hopefully it will all be worth it once we get to meet them!"

Donut and Barf Bag sat down on the couch, their minds racing with the excitement and uncertainty of what lay ahead. They spent the next hour talking about their future, imagining what it would be like to become parents and discussing all the changes that would come with a new baby.

"I guess we need to start thinking about telling the crew now," Donut said, grinning.

Barf Bag chuckled, "Oh, we have plenty of time for that. Let's just enjoy this moment for now."
