Broad Love

Chapter Four

~Phil~

We were a healthy couple, me and Cat. We spent a lot of time together but we also had out own things we did. She let me be with my YouTube videos and she had "girl's night out" every Friday. We knew almost everything about each other, but there were still secrets. Not harmful ones, just secrets that didn't need to be shared. Other than those few things, though, we were pretty much completely open with one another. For example, one day she came to me with an idea on how I could make extra money.

"Cat, I'm not doing it."

"Why not?"

"Because donating sperm is what people do when they don't have any money. Have you not seen Friends? Besides, why do you even want me to?"

"Well if we are going to start a family, you should see if you can. Plus who wouldn't want to have your children?"

I thought for a second. "Alright I'll do it. But only because you want me to."

She smiled and kissed me. "Great. I'll have dinner ready when you get back."

The sperm bank was awkward, just like I thought it would be, but when I got home everything that felt dirty washed away. Cat had set up a table with food and candles with wine to top it off. It looked as if we were celebrating for something. Just then my wife marched out in a beautiful dress with two wine glasses.

"What's all this?" I laughed in disbelief.

"A celebration party. Just for us." She sang into my ear.

"What are we celebrating?"

She paused for a long time before grinning and whispering, "I've gotten you a gift. Why don't you open it?"

It was really strange, seeing her all giggly and secretive, but I did what she asked and picked up a small silver box with a blue and pink ribbon on it. I shook it a little before unwrapping and it sounded small and hard. Curious as ever, I untied the ribbon and lifted the top off of the box. Inside, there lay a little tube shaped like a thermometer. A tad bit confused, I picked it up and inspected it. That was when I found a small screen with two tiny pink lines on it. I dropped it from shock and looked up at Cat.

"Cat.... Are you?" She grinned and nodded.

"I'm pregnant!" She laughed. I ran and picked Cat up, spinning her around and kissing her passionately. I'm going to be a father. I'm going to have a child! I kissed my wife again. I'm going to have a family of my own. It was probably the happiest day of my life.
