Chapter 36: A Surprise Announcement

Chapter 36: a new addition

The next morning, Seraphina woke up feeling a little queasy. She brushed it off, thinking that it was just something she ate the night before.

But as the day went on, the nausea persisted, and she started to feel more and more tired. She couldn't help but wonder if she might be pregnant.

When Alaric came home from work, Seraphina couldn't keep the news to herself any longer. She blurted out, "I think I might be pregnant!"

Alaric's eyes widened in surprise and delight. "Really?" he exclaimed, pulling her into a tight embrace.

They spent the evening talking excitedly about the possibility of a new addition to their family. They were thrilled at the thought of having another child, and they couldn't wait to tell their kids and their families.

The next day, they took a pregnancy test, which confirmed their suspicions. They were overjoyed, and decided to surprise their kids with the news.

They called a family meeting, and Lily, Noah, and Ava gathered around them, curious about what was going on.

"We have some exciting news to share with you," Alaric said, a huge grin on his face. "Your mom is pregnant!"

Lily's eyes widened in surprise, while Ava and Noah looked a little confused.

"What does that mean?" Noah asked.

"It means you're going to have a new little brother or sister!" Seraphina explained.

The kids were ecstatic, jumping up and down and hugging their parents. They couldn't wait to meet their new sibling.

As the days turned into weeks, Seraphina's pregnancy progressed smoothly. They shared the news with their extended family and friends, who were all thrilled for them.

As they prepared for the arrival of their new baby, Alaric and Seraphina felt grateful for the love and support of their family. They knew that they had been through so much together, but their love and strength had only grown stronger with each passing day.

And as they looked forward to the future, they knew that their family would continue to thrive, no matter what challenges lay ahead. They were grateful for every moment they shared together, knowing that their love was the foundation that would keep them strong, no matter what the future held.
