Chronicles of a cured zombie…

R shuffles in to his and Juliet's shared loft,tired from working at Marty's mart a local supermarket.

Juliet's standing in the doorway of their kitchen pale and looking flustered.

"I'm pregnant." She blurts out as a greeting.

It takes R's tired mind a few seconds to process what his girlfriend has just thrown at him.

"Really?" R asks looking like he just stuck his finger in a socket.

"Yea." she says frowning and looking at her feet.

A thousand watt smile appears on R's face, "Great."

Juliet looks up confused, "you're happy?"

"Of course, I didn't think I would be able to have kids, and with my promotion at work this is just great." He says genuinely happy.

Like a balloon popping all the tension fades from Juliet , a smile spreads to her face as well.

After a few seconds worried frown returns, when she realizes that she is going to have to tell her dad.

R sees the look on her face and as usual reads her like a book, "We will tell your dad together."

Juliet looks at him like he belongs in a mad house, "You want to?"

"Well, the man has already shot me, what's the worst he could do, please do not answer that," R says smirking, then he lifts her chin and looks into her eyes, "we will be fine."
