Sooo?.. Tell me, I beg although I feel more fear than curiosity.

Well.. youre the first one to know this except for Carlos.. so please dont tell anyone..

Yeah, yeah, come on.. spill! I interrupt.

Emma takes a breath and then looks at me smiling. Im pregnant, she says softly, as if shes scared that anyone else can hear her.

Oh my god! Thats great! I shriek and I hug her tightly. She chuckles and tries to focus on the road.

Yeah.. Were planning on telling it everyone but not before the funeral. That would be kind of weird, she says. I nod understanding and sit back in my seat again. I let out a soft, relieved chuckle.

Oh my god I cant believe it.. Carlos with children.. Your baby is going to be so beautiful, I say dreamy.

Maybe it will be the first addition to the family with blond hair, Emma says with a wink.

Oooh, thatd be good! I say, bouncing in my seat.

She turns left and a big parking lot shows up full of cars. We find a empty spot and get out of the car. The heat is almost unbearable and I can see the trembling heat coming of from the asphalt.

So since when do you know youre pregnant? I ask as I look around for a shopping cart.

I only know for two weeks now, but the doctor told me Im already two months pregnant.

Wow.. but you didnt.. I mean when you didnt get your period didnt you figure out that you were..?

I thought I was just late. I mean.. Im always irregular, Emma responds while she slips a coin into the shopping cart. We head for the entrance of the supermarket.

Oh right.. I see.. well Im really happy for you guys.. this is such good news, I say with a big smile on my face. Inside the supermarket its nice and cool.

Yeah.. I told you first because youre my favorite sister-in-law, Emma says and she playfully pinches my cheek. I chuckle and grab a box of cereals and put it in the cart.

And it also seemed like you could use some happy news, Emma says as she looks at me worriedly for a second.
