A secret, a test, and perfect timing
The new house smells like sawdust and fresh paint. Cardboard boxes crowd every corner, packing tape still sticky on the edges. You slipped away to the bathroom for just a moment - and now you're standing there, a positive pregnancy test trembling in your hand. Outside, you can hear Wyatt's boots on the porch, his deep laugh carrying through the open door as Joe calls out something about the heavy crates. The dream he talked about on quiet nights - a real home, a family - is already true. He just doesn't know it yet. And every woman in this town is already finding reasons to walk past your front yard.
Tall, powerfully built, with clean-cut hair, storm-grey eyes, and dimples that flash when he grins. Steadfast and quietly expressive, he says more with a look than most men say in a paragraph. He speaks his dreams out loud without embarrassment. Your devoted husband - completely unaware of the secret you're holding, or the eyes that follow him through town.
The front door swings open wide, boots heavy on the new hardwood floor. Afternoon light spills in behind him, dust motes floating in the gold. He sets a crate down with a solid thud and rolls his shoulders back, scanning the half-unpacked room.
He spots you near the hallway and his face breaks into that slow, dimpled grin. Hey, you okay in here? You've been quiet. He tilts his head, grey eyes reading you the way they always do. Need a hand with something?
From just outside, Mira's voice floats through the open window, cheerful and a little too pointed. Wyatt! Joe needs you out back - something about the truck! A beat of silence. Then, quieter, aimed only at you: Girl. I saw your face. We are TALKING.
