You're Not Like the Others

Epilogue

1 Yr. Later

A lot has changed in a year. Me and Zak's been married for a year, Abby started kindergarten, my dad moved to Vegas to be closer to me, Zak, and Abby, and lastly Abby's having a little baby brother. Ever since me and Zak tied the knot she's wanted to be a big sister. When I found out I was pregnant I was trying to think of a way to tell Zak, and I found a way...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I just got home after I picked Abby up at my dad's house, Abby was playing with Gracie so I took that moment to take the test. When I was done I put it on the sink and went to the kitchen to get Abby a snack.

"Here Abby," I said handing her a pack of fruit snacks.

"Thank you."

I got one of her princess cups and filled it with cherry kool-aid then handed it to her. I went back into the bathroom to check the result. Positive. I felt my lips curl into a huge smile.

I'm pregnant! Time to think of a creative way to tell Zak.

"Daddy!"

I heard Abby yell with happiness. I quickly put the cap on the test and hid it in one of my dresser draws then went down to the living room. When Zak got done hugging Abby he put her down and kissed me.

"How was the investigation?"

"It was intense."

"Daddy, can I go with you next time?"

"You can when you're as tall as your mom," Zak said.

"Why? I know all the things."

"What things?" I asked curiously.

"I know the small rectangle thing with the play, stop, and record buttons, the camera, the radio thing, and the thing that has the silver stick on top of it and you see numbers," She said counting them with her fingers.

"Where'd you learn all of that?" Zak asked.

"I'll give you three guesses who?" I said to Zak. Aaron.

"Aaron," Abby said happily.

I smiled at Zak and said,

"That was my first guess. What about you?"

"I was going to say Billy. I'll tell you what Abby..." Zak started while he bent down to her level. Then started again, "When you learn the names of those 'things' and when you're as tall as your mom, I'll take you ghost hunting. Deal?" Zak asked with his hand out.

"Deal."

Abby shook his hand.

"Well... since you two are making deals I'm going to start dinner," I said with a smile and went to the kitchen.

I made some sautéed chicken breast with mash potatoes and corn. We ate and talked about our days. I hid my smile because Abby was feeding Gracie little pieces of chicken from the table. Good thing Zak wasn't really paying attention because Zak doesn't like Gracie being fed at the table. When dinner was over Abby went to her room to play while I rinsed the dishes and Zak put them in the dishwasher. I tucked Abby into bed an hour later and me and Zak cuddled with each other then went to bed.

The next morning after I made breakfast Abby went with Zak to the office and I went to the store. When I went back home I started my plan on telling Zak that we were having a baby. About 45 minutes later I was done with the project. I took out my phone and created a Vine video then sent it to Zak. A few minutes later Zak sent a text.
