"you're gonna be a dad" she breathed softly, kissing his cheek
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I know.." He sniffled, holding her just a smidge tighter.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
|
| |

|
"How long have you known?" He asked, pulling away.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"just since last night" she said. "I don't know why, but I was scared you would change your mind and not want it"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
He nodded, wiping his face dry. "I want it this time, never thought i'd be able to say i'm excited to be a dad."
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Caden...you'll stay with me through it, right?" She asked, worried
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Absolutely, from now and to the years to come." He assured, clasping his hands around hers.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She felt tears building, her hands trembling slightly. "I'm scared, Caden. I'm so beyond excited but I'm scared too.."
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Listen, me too. I'm scared to death for this, so many things could go wrong bu so many things could go right, too." He murmured.
