After hanging up, Marcus returned to his bedroom and found Valerie sleeping peacefully. The sight warmed his heart. She wore a beige silk nightgown, her growing belly rident now. He couldn’t take his eyes off it, imagining their two little ones nestled inside. Six months still lay ahead, but Marcus wished he could fast–forward and hold them in his arms already.

He decided to take a shower before getting ready for work. Yet, after drying off, he couldn’t resist climbing back into bed to cuddle Valerie. He needed to feel her close, to touch her belly, and connect with their unborn children. Valerie stirred as Marcus pulled her gently into his arms, stretching lazily like a cat before nestling against him again..

Soon, the alarm clock rang, as it did every morning. Marcus hadn’t slept at all, his mind racing with ideas and worries, but he had savored every moment of holding his wife.

“I love you, Valerie. I love you, and I love our children,” he murmured, his voice filled with emotion. “I can’t wait to hold our little ones.”

Surprisingly, Valerie’s small hand reached up to rest on his cheek.

“I love you too, Marcus,” she whispered. “Never forget that you’re the love of my life.”

Marcus hugged her tighter, feeling a surge of tenderness as she stirred awake.

“My love, I thought you were asleep,” he said softly.
