Wednesday's pov
A couple weeks later
I was in the bathroom waiting for the results. I looked at Enid who was standing beside me. Enid's eyes held a mix of anticipation and hope as we waited for the results. The bathroom felt charged with emotion, and I reached out, squeezing her hand for reassurance. We both knew that whatever the outcome, our love and commitment to each other would navigate the path ahead. The seconds stretched as we awaited the news that could potentially bring another chapter to our growing family. I looked at the test and it came back positive. I smiled at Enid. "Now we just need to tell Eli." I said. Enid's eyes widened with joy, and a radiant smile spread across her face. "A baby sister," she whispered, a hint of happy tears in her eyes. As we shared this special moment, the prospect of expanding our family filled the air with a profound sense of love and excitement. Telling Eli about the upcoming arrival of his baby sister became the next joyful step in our journey together.
In the afternoon when Eli came back from his grandparent's house, I greeted him. "How are you?" I asked as I hugged him. Eli grinned, his eyes sparkling with the energy of a child returning from an adventure. "I had so much fun at Grandma and Grandpa's!" he exclaimed. I smiled, knowing that his excitement was about to reach new heights with the news we were about to share. As we sat down together, the anticipation of revealing the upcoming arrival of his baby sister added a layer of warmth to the afternoon. I sat on the couch. "Eli, I have something to tell you." I said. Eli looked at me. I smiled at him. "You're gonna get a baby sister.". Eli's eyes widened, and a big smile spread across his face. "Really?" he exclaimed with a mix of surprise and joy. I nodded, and Eli's excitement reached new heights. The prospect of becoming a big brother filled the room with a contagious enthusiasm, turning the afternoon into a celebration of new beginnings for our growing family.
Later in the Evening, I was getting changed while Eli was asleep and Enid was on her phone. I looked over at her. "After I gave birth, did you miss my baby bump?" I asked. Enid looked up from her phone, a soft smile playing on her lips. "Yes, I did," she admitted, her eyes reflecting fond memories. "It was a reminder of the beautiful journey we were on together. But now, we have a new adventure awaiting us." The quiet conversation in our dimly lit room echoed the anticipation of the upcoming arrival, creating a comforting atmosphere as we embraced the changes and blessings that came with each phase of life. I smiled. I then took off my shirt and walked over to her. I then took her shirt from the bed and put it on. I then climbed into bed. Enid looked at me, her eyes filled with a warmth that spoke of familiarity and love. As I settled into bed beside her, we shared a quiet moment, feeling the connection that had deepened over the years. The anticipation of welcoming our baby daughter into the world added an extra layer of tenderness to the simple act of being together, creating a sense of peace in the dimly lit room. I then cuddled up next to her and she smiled. I took her phone and placed it on the table. The room fell into a gentle quiet as we nestled together. Enid's smile lingered, and the absence of distractions from the phone allowed us to fully embrace the closeness. In the warmth of the moment, the anticipation of the new addition to our family felt palpable, creating a serene atmosphere as we shared this tranquil evening together.
