Chapter 232: Our Family
“So, have you two decided? You want to leave it as a surprise, or should I tell you now?” Doctor Susan asked as she continued to look at the monitor.
“Yes, we’ve decided. Please tell us the gender of our baby,” I replied excitedly.
I could feel the tension and excitement in the air as Edward and I both held our breath while we waited for the doctor’s answer.
“Congratulations! It’s a boy,” Doctor Susan announced with a joyful smile that proudly showcased all the wrinkles on her face. It was such a happy smile and I wished that I could smile so radiantly like her when I got to her age.
“Wow! Did you hear that, Edward! It’s a boy!” I shouted excitedly as I lost myself in the joy of the moment. I would have been happy either way, but I thought we made the right decision of wanting to know right away.
“Yes yes, I heard. Congratulations to us!” Edward replied before he bent down to kiss my forehead.
I couldn’t stop smiling. In a couple of months, we’re going to become parents.
...
True to his word, marrying Edward turned out to be what was best for me. Choosing to accept his marriage proposal on that day on the cruise was probably the best decision that I have ever made in my entire life.
