Derek and I have been living as roomies in our home at the junkyard, and life has been going great for us. Derek worked at the local graveyard as I stayed home to make sure the people who came to the junkyard didn't rob us. Life treated us much better since we finally had everything we needed in one area, not across town. One evening, Derek and I had a chat.
"Yoomee...." Derek shook, "I've been meaning to say this for a long time, but..."
"...Yes?"
"I've had feelings for you for awhile now... Do you wanna, er... go on a date sometime?"
My face lit up. He knew what I've been wanting to say since the night we met. "Sure!"
He took my hand and led me to the Bogaard Overlook for our date. Derek had previously bought a pack of tofu dogs a few hours ago and cooked them on the Overlook's grill. He sat the freshly cooked tofu dogs down on the picnic table and we chowed down.
"So..." he asked, "What do you think of this date so far?"
"Its lovely." I nearly choke on the tofu dog.
"You fine?"
"Yea."
Derek started shaking again, "I was wondering.... If you could be my girlfriend?"
I lean in and kiss him on the lips. We took that as a "yes".
"And... I was wondering.." He smiled, "If you wanted to... y'know..... have-"
"YES," I scream. I knew what he was going to say.

The next morning, I felt sick to my stomach, and I missed my expected period. "Derek..." I came up to Derek.
"I might be pregnant."
He got up from his chair, "What? What do you mean you're pregnant?! We can't afford a child yet!"
"Well, we forgot about protection last night!"
"Oh..." Derek hung his head, "I guess we're stuck with an unwanted child..."
"Not if we give it up for adoption."
"I really don't want to do that, though..."
"Maybe you should start working overtime once I know for sure that I am pregnant."
I went to the bathroom and took out the pregnancy test I bought a while ago. I took the test and read it.
"POSITIVE" it said, in large letters.
A smile came to my face.
"Derek..." I called him inside the bathroom, "Read this." I threw him the test strip.
He smiled the widest he ever had and laughed, "We're gonna have a baby!"
He threw his arms around me.
Our family would soon be complete.
