"What"s this, Grace?" He asked, shaking it very lightly to try to determine the contents."Something for you. Please open it," she smiled wide. She couldn"t wait to see the look on his face once he found out what was inside.
Stephen laughed at her weirdly expectant smile, and then pulled the bow on the outer wrapping. His fingers made quick work of the paper surrounding the box, leaving the remains on the counter. The only thing left to the box itself was the lid. Clutching around both sides, he lifted the box up carefully, and nearly fell over.
"I knew for a while now about this," said Grace, watching his reaction. "The magic made it easy to detect, and easy to monitor. But once the magic was gone, I had to do things the old fas.h.i.+oned way. I figured you"d appreciate that."
Stephen reached into the box, and pulled out the pregnancy test. Two firm lines appeared in the window, which the guide on the stick itself signaled a pregnancy. He looked back at Grace, who was wearing a nervous smile.

"Please tell me you"re happy? You"re not upset, right?" She asked, taking a step closer to him.
"Grace," gulped Stephen, setting the test down. "You"re pregnant? You"re having a baby?"
Grace took another step closer to him, "We"re having a baby, Stephen."
He rushed towards her, completely closing the distance and hugged her firmly in his arms. "We"re having a baby! You"re pregnant, and we"re having a baby!" He announced, excitedly.
"Yes, we are," Grace laughed, heartily, thrilled that he was as happy as she had been to tell him.
"How incredible!" He picked up the test again, looking at it firmly. "How far along?"
"About seven weeks, give or take," Grace replied. "I can feel the changes in my body already, even without the magic. I just wanted to surprise you with it, and show you how happy its made me."
"How happy it"s made us," he corrected, leaning down to kiss her. "Grace, we"re having a baby. A little you!"
"Mixed with a lot of you," she added with a giggle.
