She runs her planner and stationery website from home while I do some consulting for the police on occasion, but for the most part, I’m a stay-at-home dad. We’re rich, so it’s not like we need the money, but it keeps us from losing our sanity.
"That's great. We haven't seen them in a couple of weeks." We love my parents so much, and they adore their grandbabies, so it’s hard when they don’t get to see them often. My parents went on an anniversary trip and just returned yesterday.
"It's more than that... they have a surprise for the kids..."
"Are you talking about the pups?" We’ve talked about it for some time, especially since my parents’ dogs had a new litter.
"Yes." Greta’s eyes widen with joy. It’s incredible how much our kids look like their momma when they smile.
"They're going to lose their minds."
"What do you think?" I question, knowing the answer’s visible in her eyes.
"I'm fine. Happy even. I love your parents' dogs, but my dear husband I also have some news for you."
"What is it?"
"You've gotten your wish. We're having baby number three."
"What? We're having another baby?" I throw my hands up in pure joy. The thought of another little one makes me happy. I wondered because she didn't get her monthly visitor, but I wasn’t going to pressure her. She nods her head and smiles widely. "I love you, Greta." I take her in my arms and kiss my wife until she's breathless.
“As you should. I love you too, Dean.”
I want to celebrate privately, but the doorbell’s ringing already.
We greet our family and our new additions to the family. Then, we spend the rest of the night celebrating very well. I’m so grateful she said yes.
THE END…For Now
