Okay, Laura, I understand that they needed to perform the red light thingy so that they could have Bernie perform the test and see if the inhibiting factor was removed. Fair enough, although four months is not all *that* long to wait for a baby.
When Lois kept insisting they weren't ready for a child, I imagined your postcript would take place after four *years*.
Be that as it may, I was LOLing at the new member welcomed into their homes: not the baby, but the Pulitzer.
It's a bit of a tease not to tell us what they did to win it, but I'll let that pass. But what had me really horrified was their son's NAME.
YOU NAMED HIM AFTER HERB? No wonder Tempus would go to all odds to oppose his birth!
Nice little story, Laura. Thanks for sharing.
