Noah rambled about the house’s features, his planned upgrades and installing my desired jacuzzi tub in the master bath. The news filled me with joy, but his avoidance of my pregnancy left me uneasy. Did he not want the baby?
“Our house has six bedrooms, including the master. So we’ll have more than enough space for a nursery. What color scheme would you want?”
“Um…so you want to keep it?” I asked dumbly, the question challenging my previous assumption.
“Of course!” he exclaimed, his eyes widening further. “Do you?”
Silent, I mulled over his question. Welcoming a child in our first year of marriage hadn’t crossed my mind, but my surprise pregnancy wouldn’t stop me from loving my baby. And I wouldn’t have to put my career on hold to raise it, as we’d be able to afford to hire someone to look after the child while we were at the office. Topnotch doctors would be available to me during my pregnancy, and the baby wouldn’t want for anything. And, most of all, I did someday want children. I guess that day just came sooner than expected.
“Yes. I want our baby.” I relaxed against my seat. “And yellow would be a lovely color for the nursery.”
Noah stood from his seat and kneeled before me, taking my hands into his. He brushed his lips over mine, then pulled away. His look of love and brilliant smile made my heart swell. I couldn’t believe I doubted he’d want our child. Contentment settled into me. I never felt happier or more at peace. My past no longer haunted me with such a bright future ahead.
“I think yellow is perfect too, Mrs. Keegan.”
