*Door opens*

Honey? Hey, sweetheart, there you are. Mmn-mmm, something smells delicious… you weren’t kidding when you said tonight’s going to be really exciting. I mean, look at this; I see my beautiful girl, I smell her amazing cooking, I hear her beautiful voice, I feel… how perfectly curvy her hips are, c’mere, and I taste… mmn… how much I love you in our kiss. You’ve got me locked down on every one of my senses, babydoll… who could ask for more?

Oh but there IS more, you say? Now that certainly sounds appealing… are you talking about maybe some after-dinner shenanigans? Maybe I can repay the favor of slaving in the kitchen all day by slaving in the bedroom, hmm? *Chuckles* No? Oh, it’s a surprise, is that it? Figure it out? Clues? Alright, but… you know I can be a little thick, so hopefully you don’t get mad if it takes me a while.

But okay, okay, hands to myself for now. I’ll set the table while you get everything ready, alright? Oh, you already did? Look at that, you sure did. Um, sweetie, you set it for three. Are we expecting someone? Not… really? Huh, okay. Well, I’ll put this extra setting away then. Oh here, honey, let me help you with that. Oooh, ribs, is it? No? Right, baby-back ribs, why what’d I say? What does that giggle mean! You’re being… something’s going on, and I’m going to figure it out. You’re lucky this delicious rack of ribs is distracting me, because otherwise I’d Sherlock this riddle to pieces. Mmn, damn, it does smell good, though.

A salad, too? Ooh, spinach, my favorite, but… aww, carrots. Yeah, you’re right, it is the smaller kind, but still. Bleagh. Not that I’m complaining! Besides, it has that really tiny corn I love so much, with the little itty-bitty kernels. Yeah, baby corn. Looks good, honey, thanks for preparing all of this! Now then, shall we sit?

Here, let me get your chair for you… why, anything for my babydoll… and since we’re going fancy tonight, can I pour you some wine? No? Ah, a beer, then? Really? Hmm… well, alright, I won’t drink either, then. Work in the morning and all.

Sweetheart, this spread looks absolutely… stunning. What did I do to deserve a girl as amazing as you, hm? Now then, what’re we toasting our water to? To being in love with a dense man, oh haha. I’ll get it eventually. Well, I’ll toast, then. To life, to love, and to… starting a what together? A fa-... a fam… baby, are… you’re pre-preg… mad? No, god, why would I be mad, oh God, baby, come here!

*Passionate kiss, excited/exasperated breaths, exuberant tone*

You’re pregnant. You’re going to be a mother… I’m… I’m going to be a father! Christ, babydoll, I can’t… I don’t even know how to tell you how happy this makes me. Really? You were worried I’d be… mad? I can’t think of anything you could say that would make you happier! Baby, we’re… we’re going to start a family together. You, me, and… this little… whoever-they-are in your belly. When did you find out? No wonder you called me… I should have known something was up, you sounded so excited.

Yeah, I know, when we first met that I didn’t picture myself as the family having type, and we’ve never really touched the topic since, but… I think I just said that to sound tough. or maybe to keep you from being weirded out? To be really honest with you, I’ve always wanted to have kids, ever since I was a kid myself. I just… you know how when you’re a kid you want to be a rockstar, or a movie star or something epic like that? I’ve always wanted to be… well, a dad. My ideal future always involved having a family… I just never thought the woman at my side would be so beautiful.

Hey, what’s the matter? Baby, no… why are you crying? Relieved? Worried, panicked, terrified… yeah, haha, that’s fair, I suppose. Me? I… maybe, eventually, but right now, all I can think of is… is how perfect this is. The woman I love, the only person I could ever picture myself spending the rest of my life with… and now a little someone to share that with.

What? no, baby, I… here, listen. We’re not losing our free time, we’re not losing our freedom, we’re not losing… anything. We’re gaining a family, we’re securing a future… and we’re taking the first steps into the rest of our lives. And honestly? i wouldn’t want anyone else by my side for it.You’re perfect, you’re beautiful and babydoll… I’ve never been more proud of you than I am right now. Now stop crying, start smiling… and have dinner with me.

Y’know, it might have taken me way longer than it should have to figure out you’re pregnant… I… I can be pretty dense sometimes. There was only ever one thing I was quick about… and that was falling in love with you. I’m pretty sure I did it the first time I saw you. How do I know? Because my heart is racing now the same way it was racing that night. Mmn… to starting a family together.
