Marley and Me 5

The reason John and Jenny decided to get a puppy in the first place was because they wanted to have children eventually and they thought a puppy would help. The time they have to spend training and feelind him would be just as much as a new baby. Jenny took this so seriously that by the time they were ready to have kids, the house was already baby-proofed from having Marley. Finally, one day, Jenny told John about a stomach ache and how she felt like she was going to throw up after taking a sip of wine. They went to the drug store, bought a test, and went home to see. Jenny couldnt look herself so when she saw John's expression as she walked out of the bathroom, she knew. She jumped into his arms, more than overjoyed that she was finally pregnant. The next couple months were going to be spent, overdramatically protecting Jenny from cleaners, heavy boxes, and anything that would hurt her most important possesion. Among the many worries they had for a new baby, the biggest one was Marley. His energetic spirit caused much consideration of how Marley would react to a new member in the family. Would he go crazy not getting the attention he has now? They could only hope and pray that he would treat the baby with more care than any of the shoes, rugs, and other furniture in the house. John and Jenny were ready for the baby, but was Marley?
