“Surprise!” I walk into the condo with Cole and see, standing in my living room, the small group of people that make up my world: my mom, my dad, Summer, Kaelyn. Some friends I made during my short time at work. My grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are even here! And then I spot him, and if I wasn’t eight months pregnant, I would be running over to him and jumping into his arms like I’ve done so many times before. But I am, so instead, I waddle my ass over to him and throw my arms around his neck. I inhale his scent, and it confirms he’s my Xander. I haven’t seen him in person in almost three years, but it’s as if he never left. His body is a bit firmer, more muscular, but it’s still him.

“I missed you so much,” I cry into his chest, forgetting about all of the other people standing around. I just need him. I need to feel his protective arms around me.

“I’m here, sweet girl. I’m sorry it took me so long to come back.”

Shaking my head, I murmur, “It’s okay. I know why you’ve stayed away.” And I do. I know how much he loves Cole. There’s so much more I want to say—need to say—but right now isn’t the time. So instead, I stand up on my tiptoes and give Xander a kiss on his cheek, then I turn around to face the rest of my friends and family.

“Thank you everyone for being here!” I look around and see dozens of pink and blue balloons with a huge banner that reads “Baby Shower.” There’s a beautiful three tier cake and tons of cupcakes and other sweets. When Cole insisted on taking me to lunch, I was exhausted and achy but said okay. He’s made it a point to keep me positive through my pregnancy. I had no idea we were leaving so we could come home to a surprise baby shower.

“This means so much to me,” I tell everyone before I start walking around to say hello to everyone who’s here. I give my parents a big hug and catch up with my family. I thank my old colleagues for coming, and I thank my mom for helping Cole to make this day happen.

“Alright!” Cole announces, “First up are the baby shower games. I know usually it’s all women at these things, but there was no way any of us were missing this party. So, men, you will just have to endure the games, and women, don’t be upset when us guys kick your ass at every one of these games.” Everyone laughs.

“First game is called Pee in the Pot.” Cole smirks. “Since pregnant women pee a lot...” He gives me a knowing look, and I giggle. “The object of the game is to see who can pee the most into the pot, but don’t worry, we aren’t using real urine because that would just be unsanitary.” He grabs
