It was 6 AM on Monday and the weekend had gone too fast. My girlfriend Katie and I had gone away for the weekend to try and mend our relationship that was falling apart before our eyes. I quickly pushed thoughts of us out of my head. I had a long day of work ahead of me and a big project that needed completing. How to fix Katie and I was going to have to wait. Only an hour later, I arrived home. How would I find a new job?! I could not believe I had been let go out of the blue. I collapsed in our bed, mentally exhausted. Katie walked in the room and cleared her throat a few times, trying to get my attention. I, however, hardly noticed. “TOM!!”, she finally yelled so that I was forced to lose my computer concentration. “I have something big to tell you!!”, Katie exclaimed. I sighed, “So do I babe, but you can go first.” I was devastated even thinking about telling her the bad news. “Okay!!”, she said, practically bursting at the seams with excitement. “I’m pregnant”, Katie squealed..“with triplets”.
