“Are you okay with this? I know that money is tight…”
He chuckled and told me that I didn’t know what I was talking about. I asked him what he meant by that, and it was clear that we had more than enough money.
“We are fine.”
The family was listening, so I didn’t have too much to say about it. I didn’t want to embarrass him. I knew that no matter what, there was a part of me that would never understand it. I had never dealt with money and when we were broke, we were broke. I remembered it well as a kid, but Derrick said that it would never happen to us. I didn’t know if that was possible, but he was quick to tell me that it was.
He was ecstatic and he kept kissing me and picking me up, telling me that everything was going to be okay. I was glad to know that he was happy about it. I was too, I think. It was a lot, and I knew that there was nothing else that we would do but be good parents.
The only part of it that bothered me, I guess, was the idea that I wasn’t going to be able to work anymore. I wanted to work. That was all I could think of to do, and I didn’t want to be like my mom. She had lived her life for her husband, which I could see me doing, I really could, but the part that I didn’t like about it was the fact that I would be leaving myself short if something happened. With a kid on the way, it was going to guarantee what I didn’t want to happen. I couldn’t help but freak out a little bit.
It must have hit me and gotten to me because Derrick asked what was wrong with me. It was then that I noticed that I was crying. Tears were going down my face, and I didn’t know who it was for. Was it for me? My child that I would undoubtedly fail? My future? Was it for what I thought I was going to miss? I really didn’t know, but I did know that I was finally going to have the family I wanted. I just didn’t know that I wanted it.
“You don’t have to worry, Augustine.”
“What do I not have to worry about?” There were so many things that I had on my mind at the moment. Could he even imagine how much?
“Not being able to work and becoming just a housewife. I will stay at home, and you can have the career if you want.”
I asked him if he was serious, and he agreed that he was. I felt a calm go over me. Why had I worked myself up over it? It's not like Derrick was going to change all of a sudden. We were in it for the long haul, and I knew that he wanted me to be happy.
“It would be better if we could both stay home for a while. If that is possible.”
He grinned and said that we should pretend that we were going to conferences again. My mind immediately went to the last time we had gone to a conference. I wasn't thinking about all the trouble it caused, but all of the good times that we had.
“That sounds like the perfect plan.” We held hands, ready for the family to make their way over. I could do anything with Derrick next to me, even handle my own family.
