“We’ve had physicals this year, Mom.”
Mom looked at me with … exasperation! Huh?
“Son of mine! Apregnancytest, for heaven’s sake!”
Stunned shock! I saw that my beautiful wife was just as gobsmacked!
“You kids! Tsk, tsk. You do it, young lady. You’ll see. And if your stick is negative, Samantha?Thenyou both get a flu shot or whatever you imagined I meant!”
We went to the all-night-open-on-holidays drugstore on the way from our Christmas celebration and rushed home.
My gloriously beautiful wife’s stick was positive!
Positive! Whoo-Hoo!
I struck my bodybuilder’s pose in front of my somewhat stunned darling, “Daddy! Go ahead, darling. Call me ‘Daddy’! I wanna see how it feels. Come on. I gotta try it out for size!”
Finally, I saw some relief on her face. Samantha spoke out loud, “Well, we did say ‘whatever Mother Nature has in store for us’, right?”
I couldn’t stop grinning. “Darling? YouknowI said Yes to Mother Nature. You know that, right?”
She cupped my cheek, nodding, “Are you ready, baby? Really ready for …?”
“Mmm, mmm,” between kisses. “Morethan, my beautiful Mommy.Morethan!”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, you mad inventor, you!”
“Darlin’?”
“Mmm?”
“Am I allowed to make love all night to my child’s Mommy?”
I was.
We did.
Languorous, quietly urgent, intense, satisfying.
Love.
Samantha
Pregnant! Whoo-Hoo!
As soon as I saw the stick, I looked at my man, “Iwasthinking it was taking awhileto get preggers. Almost a year. I was a little worried, if I’m honest, that Mother Nature forgot about us. I thought …”
“That we maybe …”
“…but we have, so ....”
Relief that I could get pregnant just melted me that night into my man.
Love.
The next morning was not a work day for Leighton but it was for me. I got up at 2:45.
“Darlin’? Wanna stay home? Alex can …”
