#mine writing

I step into the warmth of our home from the brisk mid-autumn air with a huff—It’s been a long day, and all I’ve been able to think about these past hours is coming back to you. Immediately my legs bring me toward our bedroom—toward you—and I can’t help but smile when I see you standing there cradling your pregnant belly.

I come up from behind, my arms snaking around your middle while my hands settle on the swell of your bump with a sigh.

“Hey there, gorgeous.” I greet, pressing a gentle kiss to your temple. You smile & place your hands over mine, while our baby moves in response to my voice.

I chuckle, peering down at your bump while stroking it softly with my thumb.

“—and hello to you too, little one. Daddy’s home.”
