“You’re pregnant!” he said.
“I am! I’m pregnant!”
He wrapped his arms around me and swung me around. We laughed toge
ther, tears of joy rolling down both of our faces. Lanie was clapping her hands and twirling around in her skirt, chanting about how she was going to be the best big sister in the whole wide world.
I reached down for her and picked her up so she could get in on the hugging action.
“I love you so much,” Brian said.
“I love you, too. And I am so glad you’re happy,” I said.
“Why in the world wouldn’t I be happy?” he asked.
“Because this is pretty soon into our marriage. I mean, we’ll celebrate our first year together with me already pregnant.”
“I don’t care,” he said as Lanie held us close. “All I care about is the fact that I’m about to have a child with the woman I love.”
I was so excited that he was happy. Soon, the celebratory dinner was forgotten about. Instead, we stayed in, and Brian cooked us up some steaks. Lanie had her macaroni and cheese, while I ate my fill of Brian’s steak and potatoes. Then the three of us settled onto the couch to watch a movie.
“I’m gonna be a good big sister. You know why?” Lanie asked.
“Because you’re going to love your sibling?” I asked.
“Nope,” she said
“Because you’re going to help us out?” Brian asked.
“Nope,” she said.
“You're not gonna help us out?” I asked. “How are you going to be a good big sister if you don’t help us out?”
“Because I’m gonna protect her! Like Daddy does us.” I pulled Lanie into my arms and peppered her face with kisses. Brian’s face was beaming with pride, his eyes scanning my body. I reached out and took his hand, bringing it to my lips to kiss. Then he lowered his lips to my temple and kissed me fondly.
“Have you been to the doctor yet?” he asked.
“Not yet. I kind of wanted you to come with me,” I said.
“ “Done. Call and make an appointment tomorrow. I want to know that everything is as it should be.”
His arm threaded around my body and pulled me close to him as Lanie reached for a blanket.
“And thank you,” he said.
“For what?” I asked.
“For never giving up.”
“I’ll never give up on us, Brian, I said.
“And I’ll always be there to protect you, Amanda. No matter what.”
