Helanie:
"It was such a hard day today. They're making us do overtime with minimum pay. Can you believe that?" Maximus got home and yelled in exhaustion while I stood in the bathroom with the pregnancy test in my hand.
I was pregnant.
Tears were brimming in my eyes, tears of happiness. But there was also a little sadness in me that I couldn't understand, and I didn't know where it was coming from.
"Helanie, I'm making lunch today," Maximus called from outside, and I took a deep breath before hiding the test in my purse and walking out of the bathroom.
"Hey, my beautiful wife," Maximus gave me a quick kiss before rushing into the bathroom to freshen up and start preparing lunch. After a while, he was cutting vegetables and I was sitting on a chair, watching him.
"You've been awfully quiet. I want to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours." Maximus was so sweet that even thinking about having other husbands made me feel guilty.
