I sighed as I came back to my quarters after being in my office all day filling out paperwork.

I pulled my tie off lazily and unbuttoned my shirt. Normally, I’d go through my 10-step night routine, but today, I just wanted to be in bed.

I noticed my wife already in bed and smiled. I went into the bathroom and took a hot shower before bed. I didn’t want my wife to wake up to the scent of sweat. That was when I noticed a pregnancy test in the trash.

“What the hell…?”

I crumpled it up.
