Dear my closest friend

Little bump

John's POV

It was now five months since the day we found out. I did everything I could to take care of Micah. I had become very aware and careful of everything. Some may call me paranoid but this was such a blessing and I didn't want it stolen away from us again, especially at this point in our lives.

We were happily married and now we were going to have a family. At the last doctors visit we had we got a little bit of a surprise. It was a big surprise honestly but it was a good one. We found out that Micah was pregnant with twins.

It was going to be a girl and a boy. My heart was overjoyed and by the look on Micah's face when we found out she was just as happy as I was. I always wanted a little boy and she always wanted a little girl. We knew we would have both been happy if we got one or the other but now we got to have both.
I knew from that moment on that I would love both of my children with every fiber of my being.

I was going to be super dad. I needed to be. I wanted the best for them and the love of my life. Deep down I still knew there would be times I wouldn't be able to be there for them so when I would be home I would have to try extra hard.

Micah was laying on the couch with her hands on her belly watching something on the tv. I wasn't sure what it was, probably some show she liked. I snuck over to the couch behind her and placed my hands over her eyes. I could feel the smile on her face and heard her giggle softly. "John, what are you doing?." She spoke softly.
"Darn how did you know it was me?" I tried to keep myself from laughing.
I moved my hands away and moved so I could sit on the couch with her legs over my lap.

I reached my hand forward and placed it upon her belly gently. I had acquired this habit ever since we found out she was pregnant even before she had a baby bump. I watched her lips turn up into a smile, I started moving my hand in delicate little circles over her stomach. I wanted her and the twins to know I would always be there for them no matter what. They were my family and I needed to protect and provide for them to the full of my abilities. "I'll never let anything or anyone hurt you." I spoke in a whisper. Speaking both to my wife and unborn children. "I love you with the whole of my heart, always will. Until the day I die and even in death. I promise you that."
