Summary: Rivetra Week 2014 Prompt Day 2


Levi wondered why his wife was acting so strange.

Sometimes he'd find Petra smiling off into space or giggling to herself. That in itself wasn't strange. Usually she'd tell him she was thinking of something funny that happened or she read and would share.

Recently, anytime he inquired about her strange behavior, she'd dodge his questions or change the subject. The curiosity was driving him up the wall.

A few days later, he came home early because his wife had taken the day off, feeling unwell, and he found her in the living room. She was kneeling by the table, arranging pale, wooden letter blocks.

"What are you doing home?" Petra asked, surprised, hastily throwing her arms out in an attempt to cover the blocks with colorful letters.

"I was worried about you. What are you hiding?"

His wife pouted. "I was going to surprise you, but." She removed her arms.

The words "HAPPY FA" were spelled out. Quickly, she put the rest of the blocks in place, but before she finished FATHER'S, he had figured it out. He fell to his knees beside her as she wrote out DAY.

Levi gaped, eyes wide. "Petra, are you serious? You're pregnant? Is this for real?"

"Yes," she replied, smiling broadly.

"We're having a baby? I'm going to be a dad?"

"I was going to tell you earlier, but this was too good an opportunity."

"Come here." He pulled her close. "I love you." Levi kissed once, then twice. Then once more. "I love you so much."

"Are you happy?" She snuggled into his arms.

"Yes." He clutched her tightly. "I'm very happy."
