Birthday Surprise

For the next month I was still nauseous in the morning and I hadn't been feeling well. I didn't tell Adam so that he wouldn't get worried. Today was Adam's 34th birthday.

I woke up and felt Adam's arm wrapped around my waist. I rolled over to face him. "Good morning gorgeous." He said. "Good morning birthday boy." I said as I kissed him. "Mmm how about a birthday present?" He said as he winked at me. "Sorry baby, you have to wait until tonight." I said as I rolled over and climbed out of bed. I walked out of our room and down the hall to Emily's. "Mommy!" Emily shouted as she got out of her bed and ran over to me. "Good morning sweetie." I said as I picked her up. "Today's daddy's birthday," I said as I walked her back to mine and Adam's bedroom. Once I reached our room, I set Emily on the ground and she ran over to Adam. "Happy Birthday daddy!" She yelled as he picked her up. "Thank you angel." Adam said. "Emmy, wanna tell daddy what we bought him yesterday?" I asked as I walked over to her and Adam. "Doughnuts!" She exclaimed. "My favorite!" Adam exclaimed. We walked downstairs and into the kitchen to eat our breakfast.

When we finished breakfast Adam went to our room to get ready to go to the studio and I took Emily into her room to get her ready to go to the store. I picked out a pink cheetah shirt and pink leggings with little pink boots for Emily to wear. "Pretty, mommy!" Emily exclaimed as I braided her hair. I carried Emily back to my bedroom so that I could get ready. I set her on the bed and turned on the tv. I walked into our closet and picked out a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt with a pair of black UGG boots. I walked into the bathroom to put my hair up. "God I can't wait until tonight." Adam said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. "I love you Adam." I said. "I love you too Syd." He said. He looked at his phone screen. "Damnit, I have to leave." He said. "Alright, have a good birthday." I said as I kissed him on the cheek. He walked over to the bed, said goodbye to Emily, and left.

"Ready to go Emmy?" I said as I picked her up and turned the tv off. "Yes mommy!" She exclaimed. We went downstairs, I grabbed my phone and purse, we got in the car, and left for the store. 

Once we reached the store, I put Emily in the cart and we went inside. "Should we buy daddy a birthday cake?" I asked her as I walked over to the bakery section. "Yeah!" She exclaimed. Emily picked out a marble cake with whipped cream frosting that had Happy Birthday written on it. I walked over to the pharmacy section to buy some Tums to help my nausea when I came across something that stopped me dead in my tracks.

Pregnancy tests.

I thought back to when I found out I was pregnant with Emily. I had morning sickness for 3 months. I thought about my symptoms now. Could I be preganant? I grabbed one of the tests and put it in the cart.  I went to the check out counter, paid, and left the store to go home. Emily ran into the family room while I  put Adam's cake in the fridge. "Emmy, I'm gonna run upstairs for a few minutes ok?" I said. "Ok mommy." She said. I took the test box and went upstairs to the bathroom. I took the test out of the box and stared at it for a good 5 minutes. Were Adam and I ready for another baby? Emily was a handful by herself, much less adding a baby to the bunch. I finally decided to take the test.

An hour later, Adam came home. I had steak and mashed potatoes on the table for him. He picked me up and spun me around. "Hi baby," I said as he set me down and I kissed him. "Mmm smells good in here." He said. 

After we finished eating, I took the cake out of the fridge and we sang happy birthday to Adam. It was already 9 PM, so Adam carried Emily upstairs and I followed behind him. He set her in her bed and we said goodnight to her. We shut her door and went to our room. 

Adam shut the door behind us and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled my sweatshirt and tank top off in one swift movement. I wrapped my arms around his neck and started to kiss him. He picked me up and set me on the bed. He ripped off his t-shirt and unzipped his jeans. He tossed both on the ground and walked over to me. He unzipped my jeans and ripped them off. He climbed on top of me and soon after that, my underwear, his boxers, and my bra were on the floor.

30 minutes later, Adam and I were under the sheets and his arms were wrapped around me. "Happy Birthday to me." He said. "Yes, happy birthday baby." I said as I turned over to look at him. "I have one more surprise for you." I said. "More than that?" He asked. "Yes." I said I reached over to the nightstand to grab a small gift box that was sitting there. I handed it to him. He sat up and opened the box. He lifted up a plastic bag that held my pregnancy test in it. "What's this babe?" He asked.

"Adam, I'm pregnant."
