Standing in the bathroom, I look at my reflection. Ethan and I got married four months after our engagement, and it was exactly how we wanted it. Well, I should say Ethan got me everything I wanted. The only thing he wanted was for me to be happy, and I only wanted him to be happy. It was the best day of my life. Jon planned everything with me then Dan walked me down the aisle and gave me away. It was just perfect.
Ethan knocks on the door. “Lexi, if I’m late, Travis will kill me.”
“I’m coming,” I tell him.
“This is the one day we can’t be late—I’m his best man.” Ethan replies. It’s Travis and Tanya’s wedding day, and we are both so happy for them. “Lexi, your scaring me now. Can you open the door?” I hear him trying to open door. As I look up in the mirror, I wipe the tear from my cheek. “Lexi.”
Turning around I unlock the door and smile at how handsome Ethan looks in his tux. “You have to give up your phone one more time,” I tell him. On our wedding day, he didn’t once touch his phone and I was that lucky he didn’t touch it for the first few days of our honeymoon, but then it went back to normal.
“I’m not putting my phone away for the wedding. I have way too much to do.” Ethan tells me as his phone beeps, alerting him to a new email.
“I’m not talking about today.” I tell him as he looks up from his phone. "I thought you would want to be one hundred precent in the room on the day our baby will be born.” I lift up the pregnancy test, and Ethan throws the phone on the bed.
Picking me up, he spins me around, then placing my feet back on the floor, he kisses me. “I love you. This is… I knew it would happen. Doctor’s… Tomorrow.” He says. He’s going to be even more protective over me now, and I can’t wait. We’ve both waited so long for this day, and I have no words.
Ethan wipes the tears from my cheeks. “It’s finally happened,” I say through sobs. We stopped using any protection, just waiting for this day. “Ready to get our world turned upside down?”
“Yes, I can’t wait to tell everyone.” Cupping my face, he gives me a kiss—a very hard kiss—that makes my stomach flutter with butterflies.
I have everything I could ever wish for. A husband that loves me, and now a little baby growing inside me.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that my life would be so perfect.
THE END
