"I guess we have," Jenny says, smiling widely in turn as she returns Beth's hug. She hadn't intended just to blurt this out, it's news to work up to, but in a way, she's been given a perfect opening on two fronts. It's almost better to take it than try to delicately ease into the subject, knowing how difficult that can be. She barely figured out how to manage to tell her husband. With friends, it's even more of a challenge, since it's not something she could come right out with as soon as she found out herself. She's been nearly losing her mind, telling so few people, but it's for the best. Such precautions are advised for a reason.

Taking a seat on the couch once they've drawn back, she wrinkles her nose a little. "Even if you hadn't managed to run him off, I think it would've been alright by the time I got here," she says. "I might not be all that big and scary, but it wouldn't be right to keep a pregnant woman on her feet, would it?" She nearly laughs. It's become increasingly less surreal, especially since she feels like she's sick all the damn time, but for the moment, her spirits are high, and being in the company of a good friend only adds to that. It's probably for the best, in fact, that she didn't get to telling Beth until now. Though she still feels a little guilty, at least it's far less so than it would have been a few weeks ago.
