TWENTY-THREE

I was so nervous on our way to Ty’s parents’ house for Thanksgiving, but I’m realizing after spending a day and a half with them how unnecessary that was. I’ve never experienced so much love in one place. Last night after we first got here, I was overwhelmed by the love that was obvious between everyone. Ty’s family welcomed me with open arms, and I couldn’t get enough of their stories about their childhood or about Ty and his antics when he was little.

Apparently he was a bit of a daredevil as a child. I’m really hoping our kid doesn’t take after him on that front. I don’t think my heart could handle it.

His mom showed me pictures of him growing up, their family dog they had until a few years ago, and their sons’ early years playing sports. All night long, I felt like I was being wrapped in a warm blanket made from unconditional love and acceptance.

Today was more of the same. Ty’s mom made a huge feast for all of us, but it was the moment when dessert was pulled out when I nearly cried. His mom had made a pecan pie just for me. It’s one of the few things I remember from my childhood before my parents died, and something I told Ty one night. I didn’t realize he’d held on to that little tidbit of information so tightly—not until his mom presented it and told me Ty had requested it for me. It was hard to keep my emotions at bay at that point. I’d been teetering on the edge of tears since we arrived, but that moment made my heart feel like it had cracked into a million tiny pieces and been carefully and painstakingly glued back together. The tears fell unbidden, and his poor mom’s face fell, until I shook my head and smiled at her through my tears. I couldn’t tell her why I was so emotional about a damn pie, but she didn’t ask either. She just set the pie down, walked over to me, and hugged me tight.

We spent the rest of the night playing board games until I could barely keep my eyes open and Ty took me to bed. I fell asleep with his strong arms wrapped around me and my heart feeling fuller than I could ever remember it.

But twenty minutes ago, my bladder woke me up—something that’s been happening more and more frequently as my pregnancy progresses—and now I’m wide awake. So, once I finish using the bathroom, I head downstairs to get a small snack, hoping that might help like it usually does.

I’m surprised when I round the corner and find the light on in the kitchen and Ty’s mom sitting at the table. She looks up from her book, her dark-green glasses sitting on the edge of her nose and her eyes wide.

“I swore I was only going to read one more chapter.” She glances at the clock and then back at me, a guilty grin on her face.
