Again?

by

I came home from a trip to Atlanta. We had to get food and get to rehearsal for Pinocchio. I was in the PT cruiser and needed to drop it off at work but get a ride home because that’s where my pathfinder was. Sarah’s commercial had been cancelled, so maybe we could swing by work, drop off the PT Cruiser, grab dinner, then to rehearsal. She didn’t have to be there after the cast photos were shoot, which meant driving back to Fantasy Playhouse to pick me up at 9:30. That sucks.

“What do you want for dinner?”

“I don’t know”

“Well, let me pee”, says I, and over the baby gate I go. We have to keep the dogs away from the litter box and cat food.

Time passes…

I come out of the powder room and there she stands, wearing a summer dress with jeans underneath.

“I have a present”…and I’m trying to tuck my shirt in. some lewd comment about me zipping my pants and tucking.

2244257.jpgShe hands me a little yellow book with a spinner on front. I then notice it’s about the wrong and right ways to do pregnancy”. I smile alot, she shakes her head and grins.

I take her in my arms.

“So you’re not going to run away?”

By that time I have tears in my eyes. I am bursting and wanting to hold on to her forever. I am, in that moment, as happy as I could possibly be…and as nervous (”10 fingers, 10 toes, just let everything be ok” I think).

“No.”

I am so happy to be writing this. I love my wife and I am sure we will make great parents.

    WOW! Ok…I’m not trying to be skeptical, but I did just notice that this was posted on April 1st…Is this for real or are you pulling our proverbial leg? If it’s for real, CONGRATS!!! Irish Twins?!?!? If it’s not real…then I’ll admit it, you got me.
