The smoke from the BBQ curled up into the clear Saturday sky, and for once, I didn’t mind standing in the heat. Chicken skewers sizzled on one side, and sausages curled on the other. The smell of spice and meat and Amy’s garlic bread in the oven made our little yard feel like the center of the world. Once again, I took my phone out of my pocket and smiled as I looked at the ultrasound photo I had put as my wallpaper.
A son.
I still wasn’t used to the word. Then again, I was far too excited to be a father. Amy came outside and set down a big bowl of potato salad on the large table we had set up earlier. I couldn’t help but smile as I checked her out. She wore a simple sundress that skimmed over her little bump, and every time I saw it, I felt that same punch of pride.
