Chris:
People always say that the first year of marriage is the hardest, but that couldn't be further from the truth for you and Chris. You and Chris had been married for a year now, and things were going perfect for you. The two of you moved two Portland shortly after getting married due to Chris getting an amazing job at a law firm in the city. Between Chris starting his law career and you getting a teaching job, the two of you were bringing in plenty of money to live comfortably and go on out romantic dates. Due to Chris's long work hours, the two of you made sure to spend time together when he got home in order to keep your romance alive. When you and Chris first moved to the city, you had been living in a nice apartment in order to save up money for a house. After a year, you were finally moving into your first house. It was in the middle of farm country and about thirty minutes outside of the city that way Chris wouldn't have a long drive to work. It was a beautiful house with plenty of land, gorgeous views, and lots of privacy.

The two of you were in the process of moving into the house when you found out that you were pregnant. After skipping a period and experiencing morning sickness, you went to your doctor and the test had come back positive. You were ecstatic when you found out. Ever since high school, you and Chris had talked about wanting a family one day. Chris's ultimate dream in life was to be a father, and now you finally got to give him that dream. You knew that this was going to be some of the best news of Chris's life, so you wanted to make it special.

You guys were starting to set up the master bedroom in your new house, and you had gone to the walk in closet to start unpacking your clothes. At least, that's what you told Chris. In reality, you were hanging up a small baby onsie that you had just bought in the closet. It was green and had the University of Oregon, Chris's Alma mater, on it. You then closed the closet and walked over to where Chris was setting up your bed frame and told him, "Hey Chris, there's something in my closet. I think the old owners must've left it here."

"Huh, that's weird," Chris said as he started to walk towards your closet, "I thought the realtor said that everything had been cleaned out."

You followed him to the closet and saw his jaw drop when he opened the door and saw the onesie hanging there. He stood there for a few moments just looking at the tiny outfit and you could see the gears turning in his head. He eventually turned to you and asked, "What's this?"

"We're having a baby," you told him, unable to contain your smile.

The moment you said that, Chris gasped a little. He walked over to you and placed his hands on your abdomen. When he did this, you could see the tears in his eyes. He asked in a quiet voice, "I'm gonna be a dad?"

"Yes," you answered, nodding your head.

"I'm gonna be a dad," he repeated, awe in his voice, "This is amazing."

He then pulled you into a hug and you told him, "You're gonna be the best dad in the world."

"Thank you," he said, "Thank you for making me a dad."

"I love you, Chris," you said.

Chris pressed a kiss to the top of your head and said, "I love you too."

As you continued to hug him, you could feel the happiness radiating off of him. It made you smile knowing that Chris's greatest dream had just come true.

Gordie:
You have been having really weird cravings lately. At first, you brushed it off as part of you PMSing since you were due to get your period soon. But then your period didn't come. After three weeks with no period, you told Gordie about it, and you both decided you should go to your doctor and get tested. There was a nervous energy buzzing around your house the day you went to get the test. You had been married for two years and had been trying to have kids for those two years to no avail. The doctors explained that you had low fertility for someone your age, which made it difficult for you to conceive. After finding that out, you and Gordie started to hope and pray for a child. It seemed like your prayers were finally going to be answered. Originally, Gordie had planned on going with you, but he desperately needed to finish his new book to meet the deadline for his publisher. You reassured him that you were perfectly fine going by yourself and were hopefully going to bring back good news.
