"No Way."

Shannon Capuano called Kristin Rogers after work on Wednesday January 17...
'Kristin, I know I'm not pregnant, but what does your body feel like when you are? My body's acting a little weird this month.'
(a brief explanation followed)
'That's what my body felt like when I was pregnant. You should get a pregnancy test, just to check.'
(an hour later)
'Bran, I think we should go get a pregnancy test.'
'Are you serious?'
'Yeah.'
'You're not pregnant, but whatever. Hey you want to watch a movie tonight?'
'No, let's go to Outback tonight.'
(so we went to Outback. then we went to CVS...)
'Should we get the one with two tests?'
'Yeah, that sounds fine.'
(ten minutes later...shannon's in the bathroom...brandon was logging into his yahoo mail...before his email came up, the bathroom door opened...and shannon had on 'the face.')
'
No way.'
'Bran, i think it is.'
'No, you're reading it wrong. Look at the picture.'
'Bran, the line is going up and down. That means you're pregnant'
'Yeah, but it happened so fast. There's no way. Why don't you take the other one. This one's bad...it has to be.'
'Let's wait until tomorrow, just in case it was something i ate.'
'Good idea.'
(if we're that bright, i feel bad for the kid)
(what followed was a conversation between shannon and kristin, of which all i could hear was, 'no i'm not. no i'm not. no i'm not!')
(thursday january 18, 6:30am...shannon went into the bathroom and i was making coffee)
'Bran, it's the same thing. These things are never wrong. There's no way we could get two wrong ones at once.'
'Oh my goodness...we are going to have a kid.'
