I glanced at the bed. "Yeah, he does." I smiled at the thought. He wanted the baby. He hadn't been upset at all. He was just happy. We were happy.
"You're going to make great parents."
"Thanks, Rob."
"But it's not even going to compare to how awesome of an uncle I'm going to be. Speaking of which, are you going to do that thing where all your friends also call themselves aunt and uncle to thebaby? Because I kind of like the idea of being the only uncle. Since I'm technically the only actual uncle."
"I'll talk to James about it."
"I'll take that as a yes. Mason and Matt can suck it."
I laughed.
"Okay, I have to go. I have a lot to do. Plus, I need to buy James a bunch of presents that I originally wasn't sure I was allowed to buy because I didn't know if he knew yet. You know?"
"Shouldn't you be taking it easy? Maybe..."
"My older brother only turns 30 once. And I didn't...I mean, I didn't know if he was going to get to. I want to make it special."
I closed my eyes. He was right. It had to be special. "Thanks, Rob. I'm sure whatever you get him he's going to love."
"Lots of tequila and strippers?"
"Please don't do that."
"Ugh. Fine. Go back to bed, Penny. I got this covered."
"No strippers."
"What was that? I'm going under a tunnel. I think I'm losing the connection."
"Didn't I just wake you up? Hello? Rob?" I pulled the phone away from my ear. The line was already dead.

I slowly opened my eyes to see James staring at me.
"I'm the luckiest man alive," he said with a smile.
I blinked, letting his face come into focus. "Happy birthday, baby." I reached up and ran my hand against the scruff on his chin. "You're also the handsomest man alive."
He turned his head to kiss my palm. "I was thinking for my birthday that I just want to relax and hang out here today."
"Are you sure? I thought maybe we could go out to dinner somewhere and tell everyone the good news."
"I don't think you've ever turned down a lazy day in." He lowered both his eyebrows.
"I wasn't the only one that almost lost you. Your friends and family experienced that pain too. They want to see you."
"Mhm." He yawned and slowly sat up. "I think you're planning something."
"I'm not planning anything." I smiled at him. "I'll even let you choose the restaurant."
"Okay. But we're going home right after dinner."
"You turn 30 and suddenly your new bedtime is 8 o'clock?"
