"I'm sort of superstitious, so I saved all of the negative tests in a drawer," she says. "Don't ask! I don't know why, but I did. … After about 35 tests, we finally got a positive test."

What did Halle do when she passed the test? "While I was trying to get pregnant, we tried really hard, so it was a lot of staying home and just doing what you do. … I was watching a lot of [daytime] television and—don't judge me for this—Maury Povich. … It was about, 'You are the father. You're not the father.' … So what the women do when they find out he's not the daddy, they run off the stage, right? They run to the back. I don't know why, but they run to the back.

"So when we got the positive test—Gabriel was downstairs in the den—I ran upstairs! I got up there, and I thought, 'I've been watching too much Maury!"
