Page 32 of Season of Kneading Love

Unspeakable joy burst in my belly. “Really?” I rubbed her flat stomach.

“I found out last week.” Excitement filled her eyes. “Haven’t told anyone yet.”

I kissed her and understood why she’d felt tired. Excitement, worry, and happiness coursed through me.

“We both ‘kneaded’ love.” I smiled at my gorgeous wifeas I gave her belly a light squeeze. “And that created our little bun.”

Laughing, she kissed me. “Never gonna get bored of these puns.”

“We can open a sister store and call it Buns and Puns. We can add a bookstore to it.” I kissed her neck. “Maybe this is an opportunity for your collection of edible wearables for lovers.” Our honeymoon flashed into my mind. “We can repeat what happened in Paris.”

“Not a bad idea at all.” She giggled.

Grateful for this new addition to our family, we spent the rest of the day exploring baby names. My family was growing, and I was a blessed man excited to meet my son or daughter.
