Honest And Heartfelt

Jennifer's P.O.V

The room was quiet except for the tapping sound of my fingers on the keyboard. I had been sitting in front of my laptop for what felt like hours, trying to craft the perfect words for my Instagram announcement. After the way the news had become public, I still felt the need to let the world know my way. But finding the right words felt like an impossible task.

My mind was full of thoughts and emotions, excitement, fear, happiness, and love. I wanted to convey all of them in my post. But every time I started typing, I erased everything and started over.

"How is that post going?" Ben walked in the room, left a cup of decaf coffee on my desk, and sat on the couch in front of me.

"This is driving me crazy." I brought my hands to my face. "You're a great writer. Can't you do it for me?"

I bit my lip and stared at the blank screen, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, trying to clear my mind.

"You can do it. You've written amazing songs." He said enthusiastically.

"This isn't like that..." I said. "This is..."

I opened my eyes, took a sip from the cup Ben had brought me, and began typing. My fingers moved slowly at first, but then gained momentum as I found the right flow of words.

"Hey everyone! I'm reaching out to you today to share a very special piece of news that has recently come to light. Yes, it's true... I'm pregnant!

Frankly, I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment as I never planned for this to be public knowledge so soon. But as you know, these things have a way of finding their way to the media. So, rather than keeping you all in the dark or denying any rumors, I wanted to be the one to share this news with all of you myself.

It's tough to put into words just how much this blessing means to me and my family. As many of you know, it has been a longtime wish of ours that we first dreamed of a decade ago when we embarked on a journey that lasted for too brief a moment. And today, we're here with the best news we could have ever received.

I truly believe this baby is a gift, and I could not feel more blessed to be given this precious opportunity to become a mother again. It's a life-changing experience, and I know that it will come with its own unique set of challenges. But I'm ready to take them all on, knowing that with love and support, anything is possible.

To my amazing jlovers, thank you for being a part of this journey with me. You've shown me time and time again how much you care about me, and I am forever grateful for your love and support. As I embark on this new chapter of my life, I will keep you all updated on future projects.

We would like to enjoy this very special moment with the peace of mind it deserves. Thank you for respecting our privacy."

As I read over the post, I smiled, feeling proud and relieved. I knew it wasn't perfect, but it was honest and heartfelt, and that was all that mattered. I took a deep breath, clicked the "post" button, and watched as the announcement appeared on my screen.

As the likes and comments started pouring in, I felt overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and congratulations. I closed my laptop, leaned back in the chair and smiled as I stroked my belly.

"I love it. It's really good." He leaned in to kiss my head. "There's a writer in you."

"I guess I found the inspiration I needed." I said looking down.

He surrounded my desk and reached down for my hand to pull from it gently until I was standing on my feet.

"You've been in here for too long. Let's get some fresh air." He said.

"Where are we going?" I asked as he guided me out of the room.

"A place full of nature, big enough to stroll, and most importantly, it is a place where we can have complete privacy." He smiled.

"And where is that?" I asked thinking that such place didn't exist.

"The backyard." He answered in a humorous tone.
