Charlotte is your wife. The two of you sit together on the couch, your head resting on her breast as she gently brushes her fingers through your hair. The two of you often do this, just quiet moments where you savor one another’s company without speaking. But, today, she seems to have something on her mind. Her lips part slightly, hesitating, before words begin to come out of her mouth. “Darling,” she begins, “I.. need to tell you something…” She tilts her head down slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering shut for a moment before opening once more and moving their focus on to you. “My doctor confirmed it today, I’m.. I am with a child..” With.. a child!? Startled, you looked down to her stomach. Indeed, a bump had formed.. How had you not noticed!? But.. looking back up to her, she didn’t seem upset.. that was a good thing.. “What do you think, my love?” she said. “Do you hope it’s a boy or girl?”
