I felt the fatigue pull me towards the bed as I enter the apartment after my doctor's appointment.

Just thinking about my soft, memory foam mattress and my nice, fluffy comforter...

No time for naps, gotta make dinner...

I let out a groan. Take a nap later.

Dinner. Make. Now.

I decided to make dinner into baby themed to give Tobias a hint.

I'm so smart, I know.

I switched on the lights of the kitchen and started brewing up a feast. I planned on baby back ribs, baby corn, and mashed potatoes. Spells baby,right?

I took out the potatoes and the ribs from the pantry and pampered them till they're ready to cook. I prepared the baby corn first since it seems to be the easiest.

I placed the finished corn on the table and took out the potatoes to mash them all up to a nice light yellow mush. I concocted a bowl of hot gravy and placed both dishes on the table.

I marinated the defrosted ribs and gave it much more flavor. I cooked it up and I'm done.

Once I have all the dishes on the table ready, I went to our bedroom and changed into one of Tobias' black hoodies and some denim shorts.

The door to our apartment opened to reveal his handsome face right after I left the room. "Hey." Said Tobias once he closed the door.

I gave him a peck and told him to get ready for dinner. Hope he gets the hint.

He came out of the room in some shorts and a plain black shirt.

We ate dinner and talked about the random. "Is it a coincidence that there's baby back ribs and baby corn? Babies eat mashed potatoes right?"

"Yeah, they eat mashed potatoes." I laughed softly.

Silence came after my response. I wanted to break it so badly so I decided to tell him.

"Can I tell you something?" I asked him.

His face scrunched up as he chewed his food. "Yeah. What is it?"

"Remember when we had.... you know... it, at the first day of our honeymoon?" I asked.

"Yeah. What does that have to do with you're going to tell me?"

"The pills didn't work.......so...." I blew out a nervous sigh. And mumbled so softly, "I'm pregnant." I bowed my head low.

I was silent for a while.

"Can you repeat that? I didn't hear it." He said.

I let out a quivering breath.

"I'm pregnant."

Silence.

His eyes widened.

"What?!"

"Are you mad?" I asked him, not looking at his eyes, afraid that maybe he didn't want a family with me.

My eyes started to water. And I tried so hard to hide it from him.

"Why would I be mad? I'm so freaking happy!!!" He beamed.

"Really?" I looked up, smiling through the tears.

"I'm going to be a dad!!" He exclaimed with a huge childish grin.

My eyes widened.

I didn't expect this type of reaction from him.

"And I'm going to be a mom!" I said with the same enthusiasm.

Immediately all the tear disappeared.

"When did you find out?" He asked, going back to being serious.

"This morning. I went to the doctor."

"I still cannot believe we're being parents!" He said, still astonished.

"Can't get over it?" I chortled.

"Who can? I mean, we're going to be parents!" He repeated.

I just laughed, agreeing with him.
