**Miriam's Perspective**
I'm pregnant.
The words echo in my mind, transforming the atmosphere around me into something vibrant and electric, yet they weave a complex tapestry of anxiety through the fabric of my thoughts. There is an undeniable thrill in knowing that a tiny life is blossoming within me, a miracle that fills me with an overwhelming sense of hope. But alongside that joy, a nagging fear creeps in—what if something goes wrong? I shake my head in an effort to dispel the worry, yet it clings to me like a persistent shadow, darkening the edges of my otherwise joyful anticipation.
As I rise from my cozy nook on the couch, where I had been nestled under a soft blanket, a flutter of excitement ignites in my chest, warming me from the inside out. I hear the familiar sound of the front door clicking open, a sound that always brings a wave of comfort and familiarity. His arrival is like a beacon of light in my day, and as soon as I see him step inside, an unstoppable grin spreads across my face. The joy is so intense it's almost painful, stretching my cheeks in a way that feels both delightful and overwhelming.
Without thinking, I leap into his arms, enveloping him in a tight embrace that feels as if I'm trying to share my happiness with him through sheer force. My laughter spills out, uncontained, as I breathe in his comforting scent, my heart overflowing like water from a tipped glass.
"Whoa, what's with all the excitement?" he gasps, clearly taken aback by my enthusiastic greeting. His breathlessness only amplifies my joy, igniting a sense of shared elation that makes my heart race even faster.
In that moment, adrenaline surges through me, fueling my next actions. I release him just enough to extend my hand, proudly displaying the positive pregnancy test—the small, plastic stick a vivid symbol of our dreams and hopes come to life. I watch as his eyes widen, disbelief morphing into pure joy, illuminating his face like the first rays of dawn breaking over a darkened horizon. The weight of what this means sinks in, and his expression transforms into a radiant smile, bright enough to dispel any shadows lurking in the corners of the room.
Before I can gather my thoughts or articulate the whirlwind of emotions swirling within me, he scoops me up effortlessly, lifting me off the ground as if I weigh no more than a feather. He spins me around in jubilant celebration, and laughter bubbles up from the depths of my being, pouring forth in a joyous cascade. I cling to him, reveling in the dizzying exhilaration of the moment, until he gently sets me back down on solid ground. Even then, the magic of our shared happiness lingers in the air around us.
Once we're stable, he kneels before me, his eyes sparkling with uncontainable joy, each glimmer reflecting the love that brightens this new chapter of our lives. Tenderly, he places a warm hand on my still-flat stomach, and his expression softens into one of profound affection. As he leans in closer, I can sense the gravity of the moment—the quiet promises he's about to make.
In a calm, almost sacred tone, he whispers sweet vows to our baby, his words flowing freely with excitement and dreams for the future, painting a picture of possibilities that fill my heart with warmth. I can't help but smile, a deep sense of contentment enveloping me as I cup his face in my hands, feeling the warmth radiate between us. The love that surrounds us feels so palpable, so real, that it fills the space with a warmth I wish I could etch into my memory forever, somehow preserving this breathtaking moment in time.
How was the preview that is soon to happen?
Bye bye love, mae.
