[on the phone]

Mal, I have some news.

//

I was hoping we could meet up and I could tell you in person…

//

Yes, I know, that’s why I’m calling, I wanted you to know before word got out.

//

You don’t need to apologize, I know. I know.

//

Mal, I’m pregnant.

//

I know! We were beginning to think it would never happen.

//

I wanted you to know because you are family. I always want you to be one of the first people I share good news with. Walter agrees, you are family!

//

Thank you. It’s so good to hear your voice, chou. Are you doing well?

//

Oh, of course. Of course. But you will come over for tea soon? I am hoping you will help me plan the shower, you did such a great job with the wedding shower.

//

Thank you mon ami. À bientôt.
