You and Carlos had been married for a very long time at this point. You were settled in life after he had retired, spending your time raising your children, who were 14 and 17 at the time.

It was the school holidays, and you were all enjoying some downtime together as a family. Carlos was pottering as he always did, unable to sit for long without doing something productive.

He was cleaning the en suite bathroom in your bedroom, when he found something that made his heart stop. There, sat at the bottom of the bin, hidden in an empty toothpaste box, was a positive pregnancy test.

"Cariño? Can you come here for a sec?" He called out to you.
