I had noticed my wife seemed to glow. She looked more beautiful than ever, and I knew it wasn’t the powder she did her face with. It something deeper, more natural.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her as I watched her sew my shirt back up. My body instinctively went to her and I wrapped my arms around her waist. I smiled when she smiled.

“You’re so beautiful.” I whispered in her ear.

My hand went to her stomach. I felt her tense beneath me and my body froze entirely.

“…Are you pregnant?”
