My wife and I had finally gotten the news we had been waiting on for a while. We were finally cleared to get pregnant after some medical issues that we had. We already had one child and he was at the house with a babysitter.

This was so excited because we had been using condoms for over 2 years and now, we were never going to have to use them again. The appointment went very well and was over way faster than we had thought. We had the babysitter for another few hours, so we were not going to waist that opportunity.

“So, what do you want to do now?” I said to her as we walked through the parking deck to the truck.

“I don’t know. Maybe go out to eat?” She said as more of a question.

“Yeah, might as well.”

She pulled out her phone and started to search for somewhere. After a few steps she said, “Hmm.”

“What is it?”

“I just got the reminder on my phone that I start ovulating today.” She said as she pointed the phone at me.

“Well that is pretty good timing.” I said with a chipper voice.

“Yeah except we have the baby at the house, and he doesn’t help anything when it comes to this.” She said rolling her eyes.

“Yeah.” I said sounding much sadder this time.

I stepped ahead of her and grabbed the passenger door open for her. There was a van right there, so she had to squeeze in around me. She was in between me and the truck and I turned her around to face me. I pulled her in close to me and kissed her firm and long on the lips. She kissed me back wrapping her arms around me.

After our lips parted, she looked up at me and said, “What was that for?”

“Why not here?” I said bringing the chipper tone back to my voice.

“Here, for what?” She said legitimately confused.
