This year was a little different. Zac Skype called me at about 2:30 in the morning (it was 3:30 in the afternoon for him) and we were having awesome conversation. It was so great to hear from him and everything was really nice. So he started talking about the Korea conflict and how if things kept heating up, he'd end up there. And then he tells me "Oh, and I've been trying to think of how to tell you this all day... but we're going to have to stay until January..." I just about LOST it. He couldn't keep his smile in very long and I knew before I started crying that he punked me, but it sunk in after I already knew and I started crying.
So about a month ago, I was talking to some of my friends that also have men in the military and we were talking about pulling out the "fake pregnancy" prank on April Fool's Day. I told them I could never because in boot camp, when I wrote him a letter telling him I WASN'T pregnant, he misread it and threw up. So I didn't want to fake him out and make him sick or anything, so I said I'd never do it. Well, I changed my mind after he pranked me.
So I had to wait until later, he was going to Skype me after he got off of work, which was about 6 or 7 pm my time. I set him up by sending him a Facebook message:
hey babe… so i was a little worried all this month about maybe being pregnant. my period was really weird last month and so i was waiting for a couple weeks to see if things sorted themselves out. so i took a test this morning (i didn’t want to tell you last night and worry you for nothing that i was going to take a test) and it came out positive… it must’ve been in february, too, because you know how i was self-conscious about my stomach over spring break and everything… i don’t know what to do and I’m so worried because i drank Friday night and while i was out there with you over spring break… but, i mean… i keep thinking about having a baby and i know we wanted to wait, but i’m already in love with it. i just wish you were home to help me through this… what do you think we should do…? call me as soon as you can, please!!! i love you...
(attached photo) almost two months <3
(I'll put the picture down below... and a couple of the others I took that I didn't send to the poor guy. By the way, I had to stick out my belly to get it to look like that :P)
At about 7, he called me. And I asked him "So... did you get my Facebook message?" And he just nodded his head. I asked "What do you think we should do...?" and as he started talking, I screamed out APRIL FOOLS!!!! A smile broke across his face and he covered his face with his hands. I asked him if he still loved me (answered with a nod), if he was mad at me (shook his head), if he was ok (nod), and I asked him why he wouldn't talk to me. His response was that if he talked, he would cry. When I asked him why, I thought of another question and asked him if he'd gotten excited... and he said after the initial shock, he had started to get a little excited... and the truth is, I did a little, too. Anyways, he didn't see the picture when he first read the message, I think he was too frazzled, so when I told him I thought the picture made the prank even better, he went and looked at it. The second he saw it, he just said "You bitch" with a big smile on his face :). I promised I'd never pull this on him again unless I was actually pregnant. I mean, he WAS about to go back to work and tell his SSgt that I was pregnant. And if I'd sent the message any sooner, he would've seen it at work and gone ape shit... lots of key factors :)
I know I don't want children right now or even in the next five years, but maybe someday, I'd like to show my love to my future husband in that way. I don't know, maybe it sounds stupid or weird or it doesn't make sense to you, but it makes sense to me. I love him with all of my heart and I would love to bring a little "us" into the world.
