I laughed, and then felt bad for laughing (then I laughed again. :/) I could picture this scene so easily- flailing arms and all. Great job.

That last line was pure brilliance and totally unexpected.

Great writing. But… “the worst news ever”? I guess it depends on your situation. To me, if I knew I was going to be a father, I’d welcome it with open arms.

@BMGelinas: Thank you for the compliment. The title is intended to be an exaggeration. However, we also know very little about these characters, so the title could be appropriate given the situation. Let’s say the man and woman are married, but the man is infertile. In that scenario, this could very well be the worst news ever.

@John: Agreed. We do not know the circumstances of these characters yet. the scenario you describe would lend to the revelation being “the worst news ever.”
