While it isn't everyone's dream to have kids and grow a large family, some people dream their whole young lives for kids, and later, for grandchildren, and if they're lucky, for great-grandchildren.
When Sarah and Kevin King were dating, King's grandmother, "Granny" Rose Bell frequently asked the couple when they would have children. They promptly responded that they would wait until they were married.
When they got married after four years of dating, Bell said:
"'All right, you said when you were married... Come on!'"
The happy couple was together for eight years, and married for four of those years, when they were finally able to grant Bell her wish.
Knowing her love for scratch-off lottery tickets, they came up with a creative way to share the news. They had a special scratch-off ticket made that when scratched would read, "We're having a baby!"
Sarah caught the special moment on camera, capturing when Bell realized she'd be a great Granny at the age of 76 or 77.
When she read the message and realized what it meant, she was overwhelmed and started crying—and when she leaned forward, she started praying and thanking Jesus for the pregnancy.

TikTok was moved by the powerful video, and Sarah made it even more special when she explained what happened next and the moment's significance.
After recording the video, Bell had prayed over Sarah's belly, praying for her and the baby's health and a safe pregnancy.
Sarah was the only grandchild who had yet to have a baby before her own grandmother passed away, so it was particularly special for her to be able to share the moment with Granny Rose Bell.
Some TikTokers were touched by how the future great-grandmother immediately went into prayer.

Others were tickled by how spoiled this baby is obviously going to be.

A few prayed that the great-grandmother would have many years together with her great-grandchild.

Having this special moment captured on video will be a treasure for the family for years to come.
Congratulations to the happy couple and Granny Rose Bell!
