By the time I was done going through the documents, it was already late afternoon.I needed a break, so I went looking for Chloe.I found her sitting on the floor in the living room with crayons scattered around her."What are you drawing?" I asked. She looked up at me and gave a cheeky grin. "The baby."I smiled and sat beside her."That's the baby?"She nodded proudly. "He has big eyes."I laughed. "How do you know it's a he?""I just know.""That's very convincing." I didn't want to dwell on the thought too much but the possibility of having a boy made me nervous for some reason. She pushed a sheet of paper toward me. "Look."It was a drawing of three people standing beside a smaller person with a very large head.I pointed at it."Who is this?""That's you."I gasped. "Why is my head so big?" "Because you're having a baby."I stared at her, mouth wide open. "That makes absolutely no sense." I said after I recovered from the shock.

I didn't want her to worry. That was my continuous excuse even when I knew that it was unfair to not tell her that Rebecca was still hitting on me.I let it slide because I knew she was in her feelings as Ethan's memorial approached.With the whole dilemma I was faced with, I decided to confide in Theo.

When I got home, I found her exactly where she'd said she would be.On the couch.She was wearing one of my shirts and a pair of loose shorts, her hair tied into a messy bun. There were two pillows behind her back and another one beneath her feet.She looked comfortable and incredibly adorable. I stood in the doorway for a moment just watching her.She noticed me and immediately smiled."You're home.""I did say I'd try.""You actually tried!""Don't sound so surprised.""I've been married to you long enough to know better." She retorted. I walked over and bent to kiss her forehead."How are you feeling?""Fine."I gave her a look.She sighed. "Tired.""That's better.""And hungry.""That's even better."She frowned. "Why?""Because I was beginning to think you were being replaced by an alien."She slapped my arm lightly.
