Heather went to the doctor and had her suspicions confirmed. She and Dante were expecting a baby.

She was completely thrilled, but she was a little nervous about how Dante would take the news. She didn't want him to worry about the money. When she got home she couldn't contain the good news. "Dante, guess what?"

"We're going to have a baby!" "What? Really!?"

"That's wonderful news, Heather!"

Dante hugged her. "I was afraid you would say we weren't ready," Heather confessed. "We'll figure things out," Dante reassured her. "I'm glad we're going to have a baby."

One morning while Dante was trying to make waffles the oven caught fire.

He quickly pulled out the fire extinguisher and put out the fire.

Afterwards he decided to go with something tamer, like peanut butter and jelly.

Heather got a few days off of work for maternity leave. She used the time to work on her growing garden.

She also read some pregnancy books.

The days flew by and one morning as Dante was running off to do some fishing he heard a cry of pain from the house behind him.

When he went back in he discovered that Heather was in labor.

Naturally he panicked. "Oh, no! We have to get to the hospital! What are we going to do?"
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-IfUnOOB1fCs/T_wZUGmfINI/AAAAAAAAHcU/ZgWaMAzhNPY/Screen%252520shot%2525202012-06-05%252520at%2525201.11.52%252520AM.png
"We can't afford a hospital, Dante. It will have to be a home birth," Heather said between contractions. "What do I do? Do I boil water or something?"

Although Dante was still very worried about the idea Heather gave birth to their daughter without any problems.

They named her Darlene. She has the traits grumpy and hydrophobic.

Dante turned out to be a really good father. He enjoyed holding and snuggling with his daughter.

With their jobs Heather and Dante had a little bit more money coming in. They both sold fish and vegetables to help supplement their income. They had been able to buy a crib and a stroller as well as a bed for themselves. Dante enjoyed taking Darlene for walks in the stroller.
