Dawn watched Adam eat, a soft smile playing on her lips as his eyes lit up with every bite. He cracked another joke, sending laughter rippling through the room.
“You said you wanted to tell me something,” Adam said between chuckles.
Dawn took a breath, her heart pounding. “Adam… you’re going to be a father.”
For a moment, everything went still. Then Adam’s eyes widened, and his plate clattered to the floor. He shot up, pulling her into a tight hug.
“I’m going to have my son play soccer with me!” he said, voice bursting with excitement.
“And I’ll braid my daughter’s hair,” Dawn replied, laughing through tears.
“It’s going to be a boy or a girl, okay? No need to fight,” he teased. “But I’m naming him Adam Jr.”
“Keep flattering yourself,” she said, rolling her eyes affectionately.
