1 YEAR TIME SKIP

THE MORNING had arrived, (Name) and Albert were enveloped in each other's arms. Their feet intertwined beneath the sheets.

Albert arose from the bed. He went to the kitchen. He wanted to make dinner for her. He made her favorite, (favorite breakfast).

He let her rest a bit longer, he had noticed that she had been overworking herself in the house. He wanted to make her feel special today.

After finishing he went back to the bedroom to find (Name's) sleeping figure. Her eyes shut and her mouth slightly open. The sight made his heart warmer.

No matter how long they've been together, he only loved her more everyday. Sure, marriage wasn't easy at first but it didn't matter as long as he could see that smile on her face.

He smiled, and grabbed his phone to take a picture of her. Albert then walked over to her and woke her up. "Good morning, (Nickname)."

(Name) yawned and stretched her arms out, wanting to receive a hug from her husband. He wrapped his arms around her, then lifted her up. She squealed in surprise.

(Name) laid her head on his shoulder and whispered in his ear."Good morning Al." She smirked, sensing the heat on his cheek.

He sat her down at the kitchen island and put the plate of (favorite breakfast) to her. He eyes glimmered at the breakfast. She looked up at him, small tears brimmed her eyes.

He was confused, usually she wasn't this sensitive. He kissed the tears on her face. "Thank you so much Albert!" She hugged and snuggled her face in his chest.

He chuckled at how cute she was. She wiped the remaining tears, and said "Hey when we're done, can I talk to you?"

He nodded and started eating the meal. Albert felt a bit impatient, he wanted to know what was going on inside her mind.

After they finished the meal, she was going to stand up to wash the dishes but he stopped her and washed them for her.

Once he had finished they both sat down on the couch. He allowed her to lay on top of him. "I need to tell you something, but I don't know if you'll be mad or happy."

She smiled at him, her eyes began to scintillate. His expression softened. "I'm pregnant, Albert." She looked down at her bare feet, scared of his possible reaction.

He was taken by surprise. His wife, was carrying his child. Now he felt the need to cry. He gently grabbed her shoulders and hugged her.

(Name) patted his back. "Hey Al, are you okay?" She questioned, a bit scared of what his reaction will be.

"I'm so happy, I always wanted to have a child. The fact that you'll be the one carrying my child makes me even more happy." He spoke gently, running his hand on her stomach.

She giggled, (Name) was happy that he wasn't mad. "But you have to deal with me and this baby for 9 months, ya know?" Even if it was going to take long, he would take care of both of them.

Albert was willing to give all of his attention and assistance to take care of her and his unborn child.

Albert waited outside, pacing back and forth around the room. He was happy but he was also thinking about the bad things that could happen.

Your parents tried their best to comfort him. When he was finally allowed to enter the room, he was relieved.

He stepped into the room and took in the most beautiful sight. His wife holding their own child. This was the moment he realized that a new life was something so beautiful.

Tears streamed down his face. He interlocked his hand in hers, "You were so strong. I'm so proud of you, (Name)." She smiled and asked "Would you like to hold our (Daughter's Name)?"

He nodded persistently, carefully lifting the small child into his arms. Words couldn't describe how happy he was. Seeing her brought him so much happiness.

"You're so pretty. I wonder who you got your good looks from?" He chuckled and looked at (Name) in a teasing manner. She playfully rolled her eyes.

Albert placed the baby in your arms. He kissed (Name's) rose tinted cheeks, "Thank you, (Name). For letting me be with you, and for having my child. I love you so so much (Name)." He kissed her hand.

She caressed his cheek and planted a kiss on his forehead."I love you too, Kirby."
