Days of our Lives fans were taken by surprise when Jen Lilley (Theresa Donovan) took to Twitter and asked questions about infant cribs. Rumors began speculating that perhaps the actress was about to announce a secret pregnancy, and though she reveals she is not with child, she'll soon become a mom anyway.
"HA! yes! Not the world's fastest pregnancy," she clarified on social media. "But I got my foster license tonight & I'm pickin' up a 4 month old little man on Saturday."
Lilley and her husband, Jason Wayne, are preparing to bring the baby home, hence the crib questions. As for questions about the emotions that come along with foster parenting, the actress quipped, "My heart will probably break a lot as a foster parent, but I didn't get into it for myself."
