I move in behind her, slipping my hands around her waist as we both hold our breath while she slowly, she turns it over.

A bright blue smiley face beams back at us.

“Yes!” The word tears out of me as I punch the air. “We’re having a baby!”

Indi turns to face me, and the tears she’d been holding back spill over.

“Oh, baby.” I pull her into my arms. “What’s wrong?”

She laughs through her tears. “Nothing.” She shakes her head. “I’m just… so happy. I was terrified you wouldn’t want this.” She smiles through her tears. “And look at you. You couldn’t be happier.” A sob escapes her.

“I’m unbelievably happy.”

She dissolves into tears, while I rub my hands up and down her arms before pulling her close again. “Hey… it’s okay.”

She laughs and cries at the same time. “It’s just the hormones.”

“Is that Nurse Indi talking?”

She nods against my chest, and I hug her tighter.

“We’re going to have a baby.” I pause dramatically. “And we’re calling him Hendrix.”

She smacks my arm… hard. And I laugh.

“He’s not being called Hendrix.”

“Okay…” I pretend to think. “Cobain?”

She snorts. “No.”

“Madonna?”

She laughs harder. “No.”

“Shakira?”

She shakes her head. “I’m naming this baby.”

I nod solemnly. “Probably for the best.”

She wipes her eyes. “Thank you.”

“What for?”

The corners of her mouth pull up. “I needed that.”

I frown innocently. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I gesture toward her stomach. “I was completely serious.”

She rolls her eyes and smacks my chest before heading for the bathroom door.

“Wait.” She turns. “I want to tell everyone.” I can’t stop grinning. “I honestly can’t keep this to myself.”

She beams. “I’m okay with that.”

She walks back, retrieves the pregnancy test, and carefully slips it into her handbag. “But first…” She reaches inside again and pulls out our wedding rings.

I slide mine back onto my finger while she slips hers on.
