John was a family man, you knew that well. Having grown up in a large tight-knit family it wasn't a surprise he'd want the same for you both after years of marriage, and you two had discussed it more frequently within the past year.

That's why when a month ago you found out you were pregnant, you barely held in the excitement to keep it a secret while waiting for John to return from deployment. Both your heart and the home feel full of warmth like never before, and he quickly picks up on it when he sees you waiting for him by the doorway of your home.

"Hello hen," he puts his bag down on the porch, tugging you into a warm hug and kissing your nose before continuing in a soft voice, "You seem right yaldi. What's gotten you so?"
