May 20th, 2022    Six weeks Pregnant

"The test ready yet?" My husband, Sam asks me. We're college sweethearts that got eloped after six months of dating, and now we've been married for almost ten years now. We had started trying for a baby four months ago, and no luck so far but we're hoping today's different. I shake my head as he walked into the bathroom, and sat on the edge of the bathtub. "No. I just took it so we have a few minutes." Sam nods, and grabs my hand as I sat next to him. After the timer on my phone went off I look at Sam, and ask him "Are we ready?" He nods, and says "Let's find out if we're having little Hubbard." I take a deep breath before picking up the test on the sink in front of us, and flipping it over reading on the tiny screen 'Pregnant 3+'. "Oh my god." I said as I teared up, and put my face into Sam's arm. "We're going to be parents." Sam says as he rubs my arm. I look up at him, and say "We're having a baby."

"Hey Sam, what's up?" Sam's coach Zac asks. When Sam, and I decided to elope back in college neither of our parents were supportive of the decision claiming that we were irresponsible teenagers that had no clue what we were doing, and when we went through with the elopement both sets cut us off completely, and ever since then all we've had was our football family. After Sam made it to the NFL Zac, and Sarah have been the closest thing we've had to parents, so we thought it was only right that we tell them about Baby Hubbard first. "Emma, and I have something to show you." Sam says before putting the pregnancy test in front of the phone camera. "No way. Congrats guys." Zac says smiling Sarah sat next to him. Sarah smiles, and asks "When are you guys due?" "We don't know yet. Emma just took the test twenty minutes ago, and we wanted to tell you guys first." Sam says smiling. Sarah gasps, and asks "Really?" I teared up as I said "Yeah. After everything you guys have done for us we thought it was only fair that you guys knew first.

*Time skip*

Later that night when Sam, and I finally got to bed I was laying in bed as I looked at Sam, and smiled as I said "We're having a baby." "I hope our baby is like you. Eternal optimism, beautiful in every aspect, and always happy." Sam says as he cupped my cheek with his left hand while scooching closer to me. I look right in Sam's eyes as I said "I hope our baby looks like you." Sam stays quiet for a moment before saying "I really want a girl." "Really?" I ask smiling as I put a hand of mine on my still flat stomach. Sam nods, and says smiling "I want to see you as a girl Mom."
