Foolproof

Olivia was spent after her trip to the bathroom. She was laying down on the bed when Maxen got back inside with a big smile on his face, carrying a plate of celery sticks with peanut and pretzel butter dip.

"Niiiice!" Olivia beamed, clapping her hands. She could smell the celery a mile away and her stomach growled the closer Maxen got to their bedroom.

"Are you sure you're not pregnant or something? This snack is weird."

Olivia blinked at Maxen, unsure of how to break the news to him. She didn't want to disappoint him especially with how he was working hard on the baby-making department. "Well, I just had my period this morning, so nope." She pouted, pulling a sad face.

In front of her, Maxen rolled his eyes at how childish she looked. "That's great to hear. We don't want to shock the nation with a pregnancy announcement when they never saw us getting married first."
