Angie held baby Silvio’s hand as she cut the cake. Everyone clapped and sang happy birthday. The baby giggled loudly and bounced on his mother’s lap. I laughed.
Watching their happy little family had me wishing for my own. I wanted to have little versions of me and Vince. I smiled to myself picturing us with our kids someday.
“What got you smiling?” Vince asked looking at me.
“Someday we will also celebrate our children’s birthday like this.” I said smiling at him.
“Mmmmm. Can’t wait to see that belly swollen with my child in it.” he whispered kissing me sneakily.
“Stop. There are people here.” I said.
I got up to give the gift I bought for Silvio. It was a silver chain. I handed it to Angie.
“Grazie.” She smiled.
“Welcome. Do you need help with anything?
