âThatâs all? The big thing he mentioned?â Brian was rendered speechless.
Rosalynnâs eyebrows shot up.
âTeddyâs pregnant.
Thatâs not big news?â
Brian, feeling slightly puzzled, still nodded.
âYeah, itâs big news.
â
He thought about the future competition for affection from other puppies.
âYou donât seem too thrilled.
â Rosalynn eyed him suspiciously.
âShould I clap to show Iâm happy?â
Brian clapped twice, seriously.
Gail laughed and interjected, âRosalyn, stop teasing him.
Just tell him the good news.
â
Curious, Brian turned to Rosalynn.
âWhat good news?â
Rosalynn gently touched her belly and announced, âIâm pregnant.
â
His wife was pregnant!
Brianâs gaze dropped to her belly in shock.
âArenât you happy?â Rosalynn asked, studying his face.
Why didnât he say anything?
Brian snapped out of his daze and quickly said, âOf course, I am happy! Honey, our love has created something beautiful! Iâm going to be a dad!â
Brian was overjoyed, yet he couldnât shake off a slight sense of regret.

His wife was pregnant, which meant they had to abstain from sex for months.
That was tough for him!
He concealed his disappointment and approached Rosalynn, gently placing his hand on her belly.
âWhen did you find out?â he inquired.
âI realized it today at lunchtime.
When I ate the food you brought for me, the smell of fish made me nauseous.
I checked my pulse and suspected my pregnancy.
After work, I got it confirmed at the hospital,â Rosalynn explained.
Brianâs expression turned to concern.
âYou went to the hospital by yourself? Why didnât you tell me? I would have come with you.
â
Rosalynn was about to respond, but Noemi, sitting across from them, chimed in nonchalantly, âShe wasnât alone.
Lyndon was with her.
