Wanda hummed softly as she woke up in warm sheets and against a warm body. Her husband was still sleeping soundly. Her husband. Wanda had a lot of fun introducing Steve as her husband in the last six months. They were still in their honeymoon period and Wanda never wanted to leave it.
It was Christmas morning. A year ago, he had surprised her with an engagement ring. This year, she had a surprise of her own. Gently she got out of bed and went to the gift she had gotten for Steve. She had hidden it under the bathroom cabinet, having wrapped it the previous night. She took it out the cabinet and breathed gently and smiled. She did not know how Steve would react to this, but she hoped it would be joy.
"Wanda?" Steve called.
"I'm in the bathroom. I'll be out in a second." Wanda walked out the bathroom and smiled when she saw Steve's half-asleep form sitting up in bed. "Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas Wanda. So what do you have there?"
"A little gift for you. Well, it might huge." Steve looked confused as Wanda handed him the small wrapped box. She sat on the bed as she watched Steve open the wrapping paper. Once the paper was off, his eyes widened and he looked at Wanda. Wanda smiled softly as Steve opened the box where two white sticks were in, tipped them out and saw the pink plus signs. "Steve?"
"Are you sure?" he asked eventually.
"Absolutely. It was a bit of a shock to me too but this is a good thing."
Steve started laughing with joy and kissing Wanda all over her face. Wanda joined in his laughter. Steve's hand went under the skirt of her night dress and he felt her still flat belly. Wanda lay her hand on top of his through the fabric and Steve kissed her on the lips.
"Oh god I love you so much," Steve whispered as he kissed her cheeks. "You and our little peanut."
"Well, I think I am only two weeks so it probably is the size of a peanut."
Steve lifted up her night dress and pressed his lips against Wanda's stomach. "Hi, peanut. I'm your dad."
Wanda smiled as she raked her fingers through his straw-blonde hair. She could easily stay like this for the next nine months.
