One year had passed since Tan and Fang said their vows, and their family had flourished in love and happiness. Their home was filled with laughter, toys scattered around, and the sweet chaos that came with three little ones running around. But on this special day, Fang had a surprise that would add even more joy to their growing family.
It was their first wedding anniversary, and Tan had planned a small celebration at home, just for the family. The dining table was decorated with flowers and candles, and a simple cake sat in the center. Marc, Daisy, and Jelly were excited, buzzing with energy, though the two younger girls didn’t quite understand what the fuss was about.
After dinner, Fang stood up, holding Tan’s hand. "I have something to share with everyone," he began, his voice soft but filled with excitement. Marc immediately perked up, sensing that this was something big.
“What is it, Papa?” Marc asked, his big brown eyes curious as he held Jelly’s hand.
“Well,” Fang said, smiling at his family. “You’re all going to have a new addition to our family soon. I’m pregnant again.”
For a moment, there was silence as the words sank in. Then, Marc’s eyes widened, and a big grin spread across his face. “Another baby? Like Daisy and Jelly?”
Fang nodded, laughing softly. "Yes, Marc. You’re going to have another little sibling. Are you ready to be a big brother again?"
Marc puffed out his chest, proud and excited. “I’m already the best big brother! I’ll teach the baby everything, like sharing toys and how to drink milk!”
Meanwhile, Daisy and Jelly exchanged confused glances. Jelly tilted her head and asked in her tiny voice, “What’s baby?”
Marc crouched down to their level, taking his role as the eldest very seriously. “It’s like when you two came, but now there’s going to be another one. It’ll be small and cry a lot, but it’ll be cute.”
Daisy clapped her hands. “Baby? I want baby to play dolls!”
Tan chuckled, wrapping an arm around Fang. “Well, baby won’t be playing dolls right away, Daisy. But you’ll see, it’s going to be wonderful having another sibling.”
The girls nodded, somewhat satisfied with Marc’s explanation. Jelly toddled over to hug Fang, placing her tiny hands on his tummy. “Baby in Papa?” she asked curiously.
“Yes, Jelly,” Fang said, kneeling to hug her. “Baby is growing in here.”
The evening was filled with laughter, hugs, and excitement as they celebrated not just their anniversary but the news of their growing family. Tan kissed Fang on the forehead, whispering, “You’re amazing, you know that?”
Fang smiled, leaning into Tan. “We’re amazing, together.”
This was their happy, growing family proof of their love, resilience, and the bright future they had built together.
Their first wedding anniversary wasn’t grand, but it was perfect in its simplicity, filled with love and laughter. The small celebration was set in their cozy home, with the faint glow of candles casting a warm light around the living room. Tan had taken the time to clear the space for a makeshift dance floor, and soft music played in the background. The children were settled on a cushioned area near the corner, watching their parents with wide, curious eyes.
the mood became light and playful. Tan extended a hand to Fang, his smile mischievous. “May I have this dance, my love?” he asked in an overly formal tone, making Marc giggle.
Fang rolled his eyes but placed his hand in Tan’s. “You’re so corny, you know that?” he teased, though a shy smile played on his lips.
The two began swaying to the soft rhythm, Tan spinning Fang lightly, careful of his growing belly. Marc, Daisy, and Jelly watched in amusement, their giggles filling the air. Marc leaned over to whisper to his sisters, “Dada is so in love with Papa, he looks silly.”
