Don and Cassandra Expecting

Cassandra had not been feeling well for several days. She began to wonder whether or not she was finally pregnant. She knew something was different, that's for sure. She had been trying to get pregnant from the first day of their honeymoon. Today she would go to the drug store and buy one of those home pregnancy tests. Then she would know for certain.
The next morning, Cassandra took the test. It was positive! She was pregnant! She threw back her head and laughed. She and Don were going to have a baby. She was so excited.
The first person Cassandra told was her father. "Well, daddy. How would you feel about having an addition to the family?" Cassandra asked Mortimer. "What are you talking about, Cassy?" Mortimer asked, looking at Cassandra. "You're going to be a Grandpa!" said Cassandra. Mortimer was speechless. He certainly didn't see this coming. Why, he had just told Don about his suspicions regarding Kaylynn just the other night. If his suspicions were correct, Don was going to have two children born within a few months of each other!
Next Cassandra told Don that she was pregnant. Don stared at Cassandra, uncertain of what to say. He didn't know the first thing about kids. Cassandra was disappointed with Don's reaction to the news that she was going to have his child. "Well, don't try to act too excited about it!" Cassandra exclaimed, then turned around and left the room. That night Don dreamed of Kaylynn. Was what Mortimer had told him true? Whose child was she expecting? And now Cassandra was pregnant as well. Don did not sleep very well that night.
