Big Sister

"I'm nervous," Angela started as she and Sam walked toward Grace's room.

"You're nervous to tell our daughter that she's going to be a big sister?" Sam quirked a brow.

"Yes!" Angela exclaimed. "What if she thinks we don't love her enough? What if she thinks we're trying to replace her? What if—

"Baby," Sam stopped her. "You're overthinking it. She's going to be happy, I promise you."

"I'm just… I don't ever want Grace to question if she's loved." Angela murmured.

Sam's face softened and he hugged her tightly. "Angie, you are an amazing mom. Grace knows that she's loved and she will forever know that she is loved. She will never, ever question if we love her. No matter what."

Angela nodded and pulled away. "Thank you, Sammy. Let's go tell our baby girl that she's gonna be a big sister."

Sam kissed Angela's forehead and opened Grace's bedroom door. "Hey, Peanut?"

Grace stopped playing with her dolls and turned to look at her parents. "Hi Daddy, hi Mommy."

"Can we come in, sweetie?" Angela asked.

"Yeah." Grace nodded.

Sam and Angela walked into the room and they each sat next to their daughter.

"We wanted to talk to you about something, Peanut." Sam smiled softly.

"Okay." Grace nodded. "Are we getting a puppy?"

"No," Sam chuckled.

"A kitty?" Grace asked curiously.

"No," Angela shook her head. "But, we do have really exciting news, Gracie."

"You're going to be a big sister, Peanut," Sam revealed, earning a wide-eyed stare from the four-year-old. "Mommy has a baby in her belly."

"Really?" Grace asked, excitement lighting up her face.

"Yup," Angela nodded. "What do you think of that, Gracie-girl?"

"I'm so happy!" Grace exclaimed. "Am I gettin' a sister?"

"Possibly," Angela nodded. "Or you could be getting a baby brother. We won't know for a little while."

"I'm gonna be a big siblin' like Unca Dean," Grace noted with a smile.

"That's right, Peanut." Sam nodded, pulling her onto his lap.

"This is better than a puppy. Or a kitty." Grace replied. "When is the baby gonna get here?"

"Well, it's gonna take about nine months," Angela answered. "The baby will grow in my belly, just like you did."

"That's so cool," Grace whispered in awe. "I can't wait to meet them."

"We're very happy to hear that." Sam smiled, glancing up at Angela. "We have to be careful with Mommy during this time, okay?"

"Okay." Grace nodded. "Can we play now?"

"Of course we can, Peanut," Sam replied, kissing her temple. "We'd love to."
