You and your husband, Zander, were curled up on the couch, wrapped in a soft blanket, enjoying a cozy night in. The lights were dim, and your favorite playlist hummed quietly in the background. You smiled, set your phone on the table, and hit record live stream.

“Okay, let’s make a video,” Zander said with a playful grin. “We listen, but we don’t judge.”

You nodded, trying to hide your excitement. “Okay, I’ll go first… Remember this morning when I said my period came?”

He blinked, nodding slowly.

You grinned. “It never came.”

He froze. “Are you for real??”

You giggled, pulling out a pregnancy test with two bright lines. His jaw dropped. Speechless, he took it from your hand, examining it like it was the most fragile thing in the world.

Then, you pulled out a second test—also positive.

His eyes widened even more. “Baby! Is this—?”

The realization hit him, and he immediately wrapped you in a hug. “You didn’t!” he whispered, still in shock.

Your live stream chat exploded with congratulations.

“See? Our followers say congrats,” you teased, pointing at the screen.

He looked at the pregnancy tests again, still not fully processing. “Oh my…”

A while later, you noticed his eyes brimming with tears. He wiped them quickly, but they kept coming.

“Why are you crying? You’re not happy?” you asked softly.

“I am happy!” he said, voice shaking. “I’m going to be a dad!” He hugged you even tighter, tears now falling freely. “I just… feel bad for you, sweetheart.”

You blinked. “Why?”

“I know these next few months will be painful. Thinking about it… it makes me worried. You’ll go through so much, and I can’t do anything to stop it.”

You cupped his face. “It’s okay. You can take care of me.”

“I will,” he said, kissing your forehead. “But I still wish I could take the pain for you.”

You smiled as he kissed your cheeks over and over, holding you like he’d never let go.
