Embrace
Summary: Five months apart is much too long for a newly married couple, especially when the wife is already six months pregnant by the time they meet again.
Oh, gosh, he's coming home today and I'm fat.
Angela took in a breath, forcing herself to calm down as she stood in the airport. Arthur was due to return today, their seven month wedding anniversary, and she was excited yet nervous. He had been gone for five months, and during that time, she found she was pregnant with their first child, which she had just been told the day before would be a little girl.
We get our little Lucy right away…
Angela giggled to herself, trying to imagine what Arthur's reaction to the news would be. Would he be excited, or would he even faint?
It didn't matter to her what his reacting was, as long as he was happy with the fact they were getting their Lucy as their first child.
The second she saw a group of people start walking out of the gate into the terminal, she jumped up from her seat and anxiously scanned each face, waiting to see the love of her life show up. After five minutes, she had this sickening feeling that he either missed his flight or that it had been delayed and she didn't know.
"Angela!"
The sick feeling was replaced with excitement when she heard Arthur yell her name. Angela smiled and made her way through the group of people before she finally found him, then being roped into a nearly bone crushing embrace and receiving a kiss from him.
"You're finally home! I'm so glad!"
"As am I. I missed you!" Arthur pulled away and smiled at Angela, then looking down at her stomach. "Ah, you really are pregnant! You weren't lying after all!"
Angela's face went red, but she still nodded. "I would never lie to you. Oh, and I know what the baby's gender is!"
"And that would be…?"
"A girl!" she smiled as shock took over his face before a smile graced it.
"We're having our little Lucy!"
"Yes, we are!"
It was good to have him home.
