Epilogue

I woke up feeling the emptiness on the bed. I walked out of the bedroom and looked at the tiny figure watching tv.

I walked to the kitchen and started cooking breakfast. I felt someone's head on my shoulder, and their hand placed on my tummy.

Mark: good morning baby

Vanessa: good morning, how was your sleep?

Mark just giggled while rubbing his head on my shoulder

"mommy" my little son said running to his father

Mark: so, I'm mommy now Asher?

Asher: you told me not to hug mommy, so you have to take responsibility for that.

Mark: what?

Asher: whenever I want a hug from mommy you need to hug me instead

Mark: I'm doing this for your mom, and I give good hugs

Asher: so, when can I hug mom?

Vanessa: I don't know ash but after 3 months?

We sat on the dining table while talking

Mark: get ready after breakfast okay?

Asher: mommy, am I going to have brother or a sister?

Vanessa: we don't know yet

Mark: we will go to the doctor and check. When we come back we might have an idea

Asher giggled then looked at me

Asher: I want a sister

Vanessa: ash, that's not something we choose

Asher: I know, although I'm six, I don't think like one. You know that mommy

Vanessa: okay then, why do you want a sister?

Asher: I want to see the female version of me. I have a beautiful mother and a not so bad looking father-

Mark: ash, let me tell you something. I'm actually the most handsome dad you will ever see. Even your mom fell for my handsomeness.

Vanessa: that's not why I started to like you though. we're going to be late, let's go. Lock the doors ash.

Mark held my hand and walked me to the car. I looked back at my son waving at me and my baby smiling of the thought of having 2 Ashers' in the house.
