Vanessa

As soon as I announce that I'm pregnant to Dominic, he poses with the scrunched up documents in his hands, as if it's taking him a moment to process. Then, he looks in my direction, tilting his head at me.

"What did you just say?" His voice is quiet and filled with surprise.

"I said I'm pregnant." I smile a little.

"What?" he says loudly as he drops the documents, then places his hand on the table as he uses that for support while jumping over it.

He rushes to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. His grip is a bit too strong but even with that, I'm just amused by his reaction.

"You're pregnant?" His face brightens up.

"Yeah." I chuckle.

"But... how?" His eyes widen.

"You know the answer to that."

"Fuck! I mean when did you find out?" He keeps holding onto my shoulders.

"It's actually something I've been thinking about for a while. My period is three weeks late, so I thought I'd go for a checkup and-"

He suddenly cuts me off by placing his lips on mine for a quick kiss. After he pulls away, I'm left flustered but it doesn't seem to be the case for him because right after he pulls away from my lips, he gives me another quick kiss, then wraps his arms around my waist, lifts me and spins me around with joyful laughter.

I hold onto his broad shoulders, my heart filled with joy at his reaction.

"This is the best news ever!" he says, putting me down. "Where's my phone? I need to call my dad right now." "What happened to looking for that document?" I ask.

"Are you kidding me?" He places his hands on my shoulders again and smiles widely. "Fuck the document!"

Quickly, he slides across the table, taking the phone from his chair so he can dial my father-in-law's number with shaky hands and it's all just from excitement.

He looks over me, then down at my stomach and he doesn't even have to say it, because I know what he's thinking.
