Pregnancy
It had been three months now since the accident and Colby had been dismissed from the hospital a week later. He'd been fitted with a prosthetic leg and was still receiving physical therapy to help him walk again. He was getting on quite well and was slowly learning how to walk again.
Danny still didn't have a job or a course so he was always on hand to help his son who was currently receiving work from his school to do at home while he recovered. He would help his son with the work and everyday things. He'd happily settled into being his son's carer.
There was the occasional tines when Colby would get frustrated with being an amputee but Danny would take it in his stride knowing it was just part of him trying to adjust to his new situation. As he was always on hand to help him their father and son relationship had only deepened and strengthened. They were now as close as a father and son could be and it made Maggie happy to see it.
She would try and help as much as she could in between her shifts at County. She knew she couldn't take the time off because they needed the money but she always checked in on her boys when she could. Having Danny at home was a great relief to her as she knew her son was being well looked after.
Even though she'd carried on working she'd been sick a lot in the mornings lately. She thought it was nothing but still decided to get checked out. When she'd found out the results she couldn't wait to get back home and tell Danny his wish had come true. She knew though he loved Colby he'd wanted another kid that he could always be there for.
When she got home she couldn't stop smiling as her husband came up to greet her home with a kiss. Life hadn't been better than when Danny had been released and come home to his family.
"Danny," she said while he started nuzzling her neck.
"Yes honey," he murmured into her neck.
"I have something to tell you..." she answered placing his hands on her stomach.
When she did so he realised what it was and smiled up at her, "You're pregnant?"
She nodded. "Three weeks."
He beamed at her and picked her up twirling her around while she laughed and when he placed her down he kissed her on the lips keeping his hands on her stomach. He couldn't believe he was going to be a father again but this time he could be physically there for the child. He could be a father physically from the moment they were born.
Colby came up behind and said, "Congratulations mum and dad."
"Thanks Colby," they smiled back relieved he was happy about becoming a big brother.
