Martha blinks a couple times, leaning forward to make sure she's really heard them right. Then she stands, slowly pacing back and forth.
She's not sure exactly what it is that bothers her, or what bothers her most. The fact that they're so young and still unmarried, the fact that they weren't responsible (which ties directly into the fact that it was so unbelievably easy for them to conceive, while it had taken her and Jonathan almost twenty-six years), or the fact that they're both pregnant at the same time. She's going to be a grandmother at the same time she's becoming a mother.
"Honey?" Jonathan watches her pace concern. "Can I...do you need something?"
She shakes her haed, flashing him a reassuring smile. "Thank you, sweetheart, I'm fine." She turns to the kids with sigh. "I don't know what to say."
