Grandparents-to-be get the big news

Here's how Clare described telling her mom and Jim, her mom's husband, about Bucky:

"Mom and Jim arrived a few hours after we had landed in Michigan, so we were trying to relax a bit before heading to bed. Their late arrival was because Mom had been waiting for word from Grandmommy's doctors... it turned out everything was just fine.

Talk was winding down and Ross kicked me under the table to let me know he thought we should break the news before everyone went to bed. I ran upstairs to get the ultrasound and, with my heart pounding loud enough to hear, I slid the picture face down across the table to Mom.

'Is this for me?' she asked.

'You'll see,' I told her.

She turned it over and adjusted her eyes to the tiny picture. "Oh!" She chuckled and smiled, and then just beamed. She handed it to Jim to see.

'What is this?' he asked not understanding the blurry arch of white lines and black background. 'Am I supposed to see something?'

'It's an ultrasound, Jim.' Mom encouraged.

'What does it mean?' he asked, confused.

I jumped in with the big news, 'It means you're going to be a grandparent!'

Then we all hugged and Ross and I got talk more in-depth about everything before we all turned in for the night. It was fun! Mom is very excited."
