"Mrs. Jones is over a month pregnant."
Although everyone had their suspicions, when the doctor announced it, Adam Jones was still delightfully dumbfounded.

Elly Campbell smiled brightly at him, just about to nod when a soft voice beside her said, "Not necessarily, it could be a son."
Adam Jones's expression instantly darkened, "Get Lily Jones out of here for me."
Before Adam could lose his temper, Christopher Moore quickly pulled Lily Jones away.
That night, for Adam Jones, was a triple blessing.
It was New Year's, his proposal succeeded, and he also learned the good news that his wife was pregnant.
