My wife June has been acting a bit strange lately. We talked about starting a family a couple weeks ago, I’m not positive if she was feeling out a answer or if it was one of those questions your wife blurts out and you have to rapid fire a response out that pleases her. Ever since shes been slightly different than my bubbly June, more slinky.

I didnt need to wonder long what was going on she sat me down in our living room that morning and placed down a box. She toke a deep breath slightly shaky from fear or excitement I couldnt tell. She smiled up at me opening the box, “you’re going to be a father!” I sat in a stunned silence prossecing for a moment, “Really?” “Yes.. are you okay?” I felt an excitement rise in my chest I got up and hugged her with shaky hands and watery eyes. “We’re going to have a baby?” “Yes my love.” I cupped her face kissing her softly, she let a sigh she had been holding go placing her head in the crook my neck. “I love you.” “I love you so much.” She started crying softly I hugged her closer, “I’m not sad ive just been nervous for so long and youre so happy.” I kissed her head and hummed softly we stood there for a soild 15 minutes.

She sat back down smiling and placed a sheet of paper from a doctor’s office confirming shes 6 weeks pregnant with a sonogram. Then she pulled out a little brown sloth stuffy. I wrapped my arm around her and smiled I’d remember this day forever.
