Anticipation Creeps In
At home, the wife was staying very busy with work, family, and friends. But in all honesty, the real reason for the lady’s constant busy schedules involved a lot more than either work, family, or friends: the surprise the husband would have waiting in store for him when he returned. She had been harboring a secret, which had become all the more vital with each passing month. She wanted to be able to tell him in person, to watch his reaction when he finally saw her after months apart.
She had already spent countless hours imagining how the reunion would unfold. In her mind, she saw his eyes light up as he saw her standing there, waiting for him. But it wasn’t just a reunion that she had in mind. She had something else to share: a new chapter in their lives that would change everything. Her secret had accompanied her through months when he was away, and the hour now to share it with him had finally come.
She had prepared the home for his return. The living room was covered in flowers and candlelight set to create a warm glow around the room. But the most important fact was her baby bump. She had waited for months to share this news, to witness the joy on his face when he would come to know that they are going to be parents. It was a surprise for her, too; now with his return, she just couldn’t wait to share it with him.
