"Her due date is two weeks and then we get to hold our baby." His eyes light up as he talks about holding his child.
"You guys have not still checked the s*x of your baby?." I ask.
"No, it’s a miracle we didn’t give into temptation, I mean we are in the final trimester, Jane wants it to be a surprise. I don’t mind, it’s her choice, she’s the one giving me the greatest gift of bringing my child into this world. Either a boy or girl I don’t mind, I would love that child all the same."
"But I think she would really like a girl tho." He adds with smile.
He’s going to make a great father. He is one of the nicest person I know and his love for his wife sometimes leaves me envious. He practically dotes on her and that’s something I want for myself. Someone to love me enough to go driving by three a.m because I want tacos.
I sigh to myself and turn around.
I see Heather attending a lot of people and motion for Jeff so I can lend her a helping hand for a few minutes before I leave to deliver the boxes of birthday cupcakes.
"I better hurry before I have another crying fit on my hands. At this point my emotions are all over the place too." A grimace on his face, the hilarity of the whole story makes me burst into laughter.
Laughing I reply ,"I know. What would she be having today?."
"One of your blueberry muffin, a strawberry shortcake and banana pie. The banana pie is for myself." He smiles.
