Just what I want my husband to do.
* * *
A few years later on his birthday, I surprise him with a gift.
A pregnancy stick with two pink lines. His eyes flood with wonder and delight. “We’re going to have a baby,” he says. Then, with all the love I know he already feels, he drops to his knees and kisses my belly. I run my fingers through his hair. “Yes we are.”
Then he rises, wraps his arms around me and kisses me tenderly. “You’re going to be such a great mom.”
“And you are going to be a terrific dad.”
Some things you just know with your whole entire heart.
