“Why are we whispering?” He asks. The gym is closed, almost all of the lights are off and we’re the only two people here.
“Because you’re supposed to whisper when you talk about a miracle,” I explain.
He chuckles and puts an arm around my shoulders, leading me toward the exit. “And what’s our miracle?”
“I’m pregnant. The specialist confirmed it this morning.”
Hale stops walking. “Don’t fuck with me. Are you serious? Fuck, please be serious.” He puts a hand on my stomach. “Are you healthy? Is our little one?”
“Clean bill of health for both of us,” I quickly reassure him. Shortly after we got married, I started seeing a fertility specialist who helps women conceive after being exposed to chemo and radiation.
The testing was hard and invasive but in the end, the doctor told me she was very confident that I would be able to conceive naturally and carry a child to full-term. Hale and I were elated by the news, but we haven’t rushed to try for a baby. We’ve both been content to let it happen when it happens and now, it’s here. There’s a little piece of Hale and a little piece of me growing together in my belly.
There’s a sheen of tears in his eyes then he’s wrapping his arms around me and crushing me against his body. He presses a kiss to the top of my head. “You did it.”
“We did it,” I counter as I burrow deeper into his shirt. I can’t believe it’s been a year since I married my sexy husband. He is an amazing father and a selfless partner who’s with me through everything. But most of all, he’s my forever and now we’re watching a dream come true as we grow our family.
