I’m glad that it’s just the two of us.” I don’t answer him this time. I won’t lie to him. I’m not glad that it’s just the two of us. I will never be happy with our situation the way he apparently can be. But that’s okay. Because I made up my mind tonight. Very soon, we will have a child of our own. We will finally get to use that teddy bear with the heart that I’ve had stuffed in the pantry all these years. He just doesn’t know it yet. My mother was right after all. Very soon, our family will be complete.
