The couple had been preparing for several minutes already. That August morning was warm and sunny, yet the young woman did not seem to care. She was in her boudoir for a while, leaving dresses, hats, skirts, shirts and shoes in all colors and shapes. She spent tens before finally dropping on her meridian, letting the tears slide down her cheeks.
-Julia, are you ready? I await you down ... Said the voice of William at the other side of the door.
She does however not bother to answer, leaving another sob cross the barrier of her lips.
-Julia?
As soon as the door opened on her husband that she did not even look up. He soon came in and took her hand to meet her eyes.
-Julia? What is wrong? Why are you crying?
-I ... do not know ... what to wear William, she said sobbing.
He frowned and looked at the mess which was around her before hearing her sob again and he plunged his eyes into hers.
-You see, I have to be perfect.
-You're perfect, whatever you wear.
-You're my husband, she muttered, looking up at the ceiling, even bouffant skirt and corset you find me beautiful.
-Because you are beautiful, he said smiling.
She pouted and then looked at the floor.
-Listen, William launched by sitting next to her, I think the skirt you're wearing right now is very good, like this shirt, he said, stroking fingertips says blouse yet still open , you have to impress anyone with an expensive dress.
-But if by my fault, we ...
-This is certainly not because of a garment that we will not give a child. They will do this because they will see what a wonderful woman you are.
-Do not you think that if God wanted to give us a child he would have done? It's been two years William, two years trying and I'm not pregnant, I will probably never. If a miracle had to happen, would have already happened, so may be it is a warning to ...
-Shhht, William launched by placing his finger on her lips, I know where your leads and I do not want to hear this. We do not choose this, you're not pregnant because it means to be this way, that is all.
-I regret it, I would have wanted to give you a child.
-And you will, even if you did not bring in you, even if we are not his biological parents, it will be our child and I want to raise him with you.
She did not answer and closed her eyes, very gently, William stroked her lips and cheek before approaching his face to hers to speak again.
-Everything will be alright Julia, don't not worry so much. Today we will meet our child and everything will be as it should be. I'll be by your side every second.
She nodded and he no longer resisted the urge to kiss her tenderly and then away a bit of her he smiled.
-Come, get up, we'll be late.
They thus raised the same movement before William did approach his fingers to the shirt buttons of his wife. He gently closed, one by one, not even meet her eyes. He heard her chuckle and he finally consented to look up at her.
-Why are you laughing?
-I am more accustomed to see you open these buttons rather than close them, Julia replied smiling.
-Well maybe tonight ...
He left the sentence on hold, noting the cheeks of his wife blush softly before she kisses him.
-Thank you William, she whispered, thank you for reassuring me when I doubt myself.
-And I always will.
-Come meet our child, I can not wait.
He smiled and stroked her cheek before they leave the room hand in hand, walking on the way to the orphanage, where their future child already waiting.
