Setting- Late September, shortly before my birthday coming up on October 1.
CMBF sitting in his office
CMBF thinking to himself: I'm turning 33 and I want to have a second kid before I turn 34.
Later that night at home
CMBF to A4OF (All 4 One Fan, wife of CMBF): "If you want, you can stop taking the birth control."
A4OF overjoyed: "Really, why the change of mind?"
CMBF: "I was thinking it would be cool to have a second kid before I turn 34."
A4OF stops taking the birth control immediately
CMBF and A4OF are in a hotel suite in Vegas on Sunday morning, October 25, 2009. It's 6:30 AM. JBF (Jonas Brothers fan, even though she doesn't know it yet), 21 month-old daughter of CMBF and A4OF, is still asleep. A4OF's parents are sleeping in the other room of the suite
A4OF: Let's go to that Albertsons down the road and pick up a pregnancy test, my period should have started either yesterday or today.
CMBF thinking to himself: Oh shit, already? You've got to be kidding me.
CMBF to A4OF: Okay let's go, if JBF wakes up, I guess your mother will grab her.
Albertsons on Green Valley Pkwy and Sunset, 6:50 AM
CMBF: Don't they sell those damn things at the dollar store?
A4OF: Yes, but they're not entirely accurate this early on.
CMBF: Why are they behind lock and key? Are people in Vegas, of all places, really that squeemish about taking these things up the cash register?
Albertsons worker walks over and unlocks the case. A4OF grabs the pregnancy test and playfully looks over at CMBF and points at the Trojan Magnum XLs as if to say "you're not going to have to use these for awhile." CMBF notes with pride that she's not pointing at any of the other normal-sized condoms. CMBF doesn't know that he can relate with Lars from Lars and the Real Girl
A4OF: I didn't bring my wallet, you're going to have to bring this up to the register.
CMBF, looking like a combination of Dexter at a social gathering and the cat who swallowed the canary, dutifully brings the pregnany test up to the register
Back in the hotel suite, A4OF has just come out of the bathroom and announces that she's pregnant
A4OF: ...see, look at the blue line in the second window.
CMBF: That's pretty faint, are you sure?
A4OF: These things will sometimes produce a false negative, but never a false positive. Remember, you also asked the same thing with JBF.
CMBF putting on a happy face: Well, it's great news but, wow, that was quick.
Other happy emotions are conveyed and CMBF is thinking "what no grace period between going off the birth control in late September and now?"
A4OF: I don't want to tell anyone about this. Let's wait for at least a couple months, it makes things go a lot slower
Two days later
A4OF: Well, my mom's really excited with the news as well as my sisters, dad, best friend and grandparents.
In the background JBF repeatedly mumbles "good girl" as she climbs up on the counter height table and chairs after CMBF has told her to get down 10+ straight times. She's oblivious to the meaning of "good girl" and thinks it's a game. CMBF laments the purchase of the counter height table and chairs. CMBF punishes JBF by tossing her on the pillows on the bed, one of JBF's favorite activities. JBF has no clue that things are going to change dramatically for her.
