After recieving the news Erica can barely contain her excitement, it's always been her dream to be a mother. She never thought it would happen so soon though, the couple had only married last year and now they had just moved to their new apartment, it seems as though everything is happening at once for them. Anyway, it's getting late and Romeo is already asleep so Erica decides to wait until the morning to tell him the news.
