I didn’t say a word. Then he saw me holding the pregnancy strip with a colour we had been waiting to see for months.

He removed his shoes, came close to me, made me sit in the bath tub and gave me a warm hug. Tears rolled out from for both of our eyes, it was the most emotional moment we’ve shared together.

He managed to control his tears, put his hand on my tummy and said, “We are going to be the three Musketeers” and planted a kiss on my cheeks and forehead.

What on earth could I ask for more than this? Almost for an hour we were seated in the bathtub cuddling each other. We never talked, our happy tears did all the talking, such a divine feeling it was. Words fail when I try to express what we felt.

After an hour of sitting in the bathtub, I asked him, “Baby! Shall we take a selfie now?” He smiled and took out his phone and clicked a picture. That was one picture that will be cherished forever.

Then we finally got out and he started his fatherly duties already. He told me to be very cautious and was doing the rest of the talking when I silently realized my baby was going to get a responsible, sweet, and an awesome dad. I couldn’t help but gently kiss his cheeks in that moment.”
