Jake Robertson was late to the family gathering on Friday. He took off his coat and handed it to the waiter. Then, I found him wearing his pullover backwards. There was only one difference between his pullover's front and back, and that was the shoulder seam. That morning, I had personally handed the pullover to Jake and watched him put it on in the right way. 'When did Jake take off his pullover? Why did he hastily put it on again?' I wondered. My heart then sank. 'Did he cheated on me? However, he came home every day and shared his daily routes with me. Nothing unusual. No. there was. Jake is horny. I refused him the last time when I felt that I might be pregnant. It was nearly one month ago.' My six-year old child, Tim Robertson, came over and pulled my hand. "Mom, Dad is here. Time to eat?" My mother-in-law, Judy Robertson, asked with a smile, "Betty, didn't you say that you have some good news to tell us?" I became the center of attention, and the whole family was waiting for my good news. I was supposed to announce the news of my pregnancy with a happy smile. However, I stretched my hand towards Jake and said, "May I borrow your phone for a second?"
