Writing a short story

An American happened to participate in a competition, which was about writing the shortest story.

The organizers had put a condition that a story must have four ingredients viz. religion,sex, suspense and mystery.
When american turn came after many attempts by others.
American gave a story, which was just one sentence and read
"Oh god, my wife is going to deliver a child".

Ostensibly amused, the organizers asked the american whether it contained all the four ingredients! American replied affirmatively and gave his explanation as below:
Oh god: religion
My wife: sex
Going to deliver a child: suspense (whether a girl or a boy)
"Okay.... but where is the mystery ?" asked one of the organizers.
The American replied: who is the father?
The American was the winner for writing the shortest story!
