I pull back slightly, concern flickering in my eyes. “Is something wrong?”

She takes a deep breath, her eyes shining with excitement. “We’re expecting another child.”

My eyes widen in surprise and then fill with joy. “Are you serious?”

She nods, tears of happiness sparkling in her eyes. “Yes, I found out a few days ago. I wanted to wait for the perfect moment to tell you.”

As the reality of Anya's words sinks in, a surge of emotions floods through me. Joy, excitement and wonder all blend together in my heart.

I pull her into a tight hug, holding her close, trying to absorb the enormity of this moment. “I can't believe it. This is amazing news, Anya,” I whisper excitedly.

Anya looks up at me, her eyes shimmering. “I was hoping you'd be happy.”

“Happy doesn't even begin to cover it,” I reply, my voice cracking. “You've made me the happiest man alive, Anya. I can't wait to welcome our new little one into this world.”

“Do you think it will be a boy this time?” she asks softly.

I place a finger under her jaw and gently lift her face to mine. “I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. This is the best wedding gift ever. Thank you for being in my life, Anya.”

“Thank you for being in mine, Brandon,” she whispers, burying her head in the crook of my neck.

I don’t know how long we stand there, flowing with the music and holding each other close, but I know I’ll never forget the joy and contentment surging through me at this moment.

Because of Anya, I know what it feels like to live again after being dead inside for so long, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The End.
