	One day in Atlanta, Georgia, Joy was at her house and the doctor called with some disappointing news. Joy found out she was 3 months pregnant. She was very depressed she began to cry but then a knock arose upon the door.

	“ Who is it?” The girl asked as someone knocked on the front door.
	“ It’s me baby open up.” Caleb said. Joy opened the door.
	“ Hey baby how you doin?” Caleb gave her a hug.
	“ I’m fine.” She said hesitating. 
	“ Joy, I can tell in your voice you’re not fine.”
	Caleb and Joy normally had an open relationship but today there was something different as Caleb could see. Joy was not fine, and he wanted to know why. 
	“ I’m fine really.”
“ Okay then, let’s go in the room and watch a movie.” Joy began to cry.
	“ What’s wrong Joy, why you cryin?” She continued to cry for a few minutes.
	As Joy continued to cry Caleb became more upset because she wouldn’t be honest with him. The longer Joy cried the more agitated Caleb became with her because he just couldn’t understand why she couldn’t be open with him and they had been together for almost 3 years.
	“ I got somethin to tell you Caleb.”
	“ What is it?”
	“ Remember when I told you I had the flu and I was vomiting?”
	“ Yeah, why?”
	“ Well, I went to the doctor and I found out that I’m pregnant.”
	“ What you say, you pregnant?”
	“ Yeah I’m three months”
	Caleb wanted to faint he had never heard anything more upsetting and disappointing than this. He didn’t know what to do so he responded the best way he could.
	“ Hold on wait, three months ago we said we were gon take a break, and we did, so how could I be the father?”
	“ That’s the other thing, I don’t think you’re the father.”
	Joy had never seen Caleb this upset before, she had no idea how to comfort him but oh did he know how to make himself feel better.
	“ What, I can’t believe you Joy, I’m done.”
	Three more months passed Joy continued to be depressed as she thought about Caleb and the life they once had together, and then the phone rang.
	“ Hello.” Joy said.
	“ May I speak to Joy?” The voice on the phone asked hesitatingly.
	“ This is she. Who is this?”
	“ It’s me Joy, Caleb. I was wondering if I could come over and talk to you.”
	“ Sure I’ll be right here waiting, how long will it be?”
	“ I’ll be there in about five minutes.”
	“ Okay.”
	A knock came on the door, as Joy arose to answer it the more nervous she became. She opened the door.
	“ Hi.”
	“ Hi.” Caleb said.
	“ So what did you want to talk to me about?”
	“ I wanted to apologize for the way I walked out.”
	“ It’s okay if I were you I would storm out like that too.”
	“ Well anyway I came over here to apologize and to ask you if you wanted to start over?”
	“ But what if you’re not the father? Are you gonna just up and leave?”
	“ No, I’m going to stay here with you regardless of the paternity tests.”
	Three and a half months passed and Joy gave birth to a beautiful little girl named Michaela Michelle. After the baby was born, the paternity tests were given to the two possible fathers. It turned out that right before Caleb and Joy broke up is when little Michaela was conceived so Caleb was the father. The little family lived together in a nice apartment outside of Atlanta and had a great life.
