"Hey, what happened today?" Jimmy Jr asked. Hours had passed since the baby shower and everyone had long gone home.

"Oh, my dad was just worried is all. It's fine, really."

Jimmy Jr looked down in worry. "God, everything about this is my fault…" he sat down, exasperated.

"What? How is it your fault at all?" Tina asked with concern in her voice.

"I- I proposed to you."

Tina rushed to put an arm around her husband. "Oh Jimmy no-" "It's true though" he interrupted. "I knew our families hated each other. Why do you think I avoided you so much in middle school? I've always liked you but this is exactly what I was afraid of."

"Our dads are just bitter right now." Tina assured him. "It'll get better once the baby's here."

"You think so?" Jimmy Jr asked.

Tina nodded with a smile and kissed him deeply.

"I love you," Jimmy Jr sighed.

"I love you too," Tina said with a smile. She rested her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as they fell asleep.
