The soft morning light filtered through the curtains of your cozy home, casting a warm glow in the kitchen where you and Margot were preparing breakfast together. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the aroma of sizzling bacon, creating an atmosphere that felt like pure bliss. You and Margot had been married for almost two years now, and every day together felt like an adventure, filled with laughter and love.

As you flipped a pancake on the griddle, you glanced over at Margot. She was humming softly to herself, her hair tied back in a messy bun, and the comfortable domesticity of the moment made you smile. She turned to you, her eyes sparkling with a secret, and you felt a flutter of curiosity in your stomach.

“Hey,” she said, her voice soft and playful. “Can you help me with something?”

Margot took a deep breath as soon as you turned around one of your eyebrows raised in curiosity, a hint of nervousness creeping into her demeanor. “Okay, so you know how I’ve been feeling a little off lately?”

You nodded, a frown of concern crossing your face. “Yeah, I thought it was just the stress of work. You’ve been pushing yourself pretty hard.”

She smiled at you, and the way her eyes lit up made your heart race. “Well, it’s not just that… I took a test this morning.”

Your eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

Her smile widened, and she reached into her pocket, pulling out a small piece of paper. You felt your pulse quicken as you realized what it was. “I’m pregnant!” she announced, the words spilling out with a mix of excitement and disbelief.
