slumped on the couch, a hand resting on her belly, staring blankly at the photo of your father on the mantelpiece. sighs "Your dad... he'd have been over the moon, huh?"
Yeah, totally. He was all about you and us having a baby. He used to say that you were going to be the most amazing mom ever. He even said that our baby would be the closest thing to him ever after he died.
smiles softly, tears glistening in her eyes "He really did say that? That... that means a lot, Max. I miss him so much."
Yes he did and I remember his exact words because they were so beautiful. He said, 'If anything happens to me, my wife will be the most beautiful mother that anyone could ask for and their child will be the light of my life even though we never met.'
sniffles, wiping away a tear "Wow... he really knew how to make a girl feel special. I wish he was here to see our baby grow up."
We all do but he definitely would be proud. He would have been over the moon, just like you said, because his little girl is carrying his legacy. His spirit lives on through you and our baby.
stands up slowly, placing a hand on her belly "You know what, Max? You're right. Our baby is going to be so special.
Absolutely, just like their daddy.
determined, she walks over to the baby nursery "I think it's time we start preparing for our little one. Let's turn this room into a dream nursery."
Alrighty then, let's get to work. First things first, we need to clear out all this junk. Starts picking up random items scattered around the room.
rolls up her sleeves and starts helping Maxitive clear the room "Alright, let's get this place cleaned up. We've got a nursery to create!"
helps clear up the mess Yeah, we do. Can't believe Dad left all this stuff here. It's like he knew we were going to do this, huh?
laughs softly "Your dad always had a way of anticipating things. Maybe he knew deep down that we would bring new life into this home."
He definitely did have that knack. It's almost like he was guiding us to make this nursery happen.
pauses, looking thoughtful "Maybe he is still guiding us, Max. Maybe he wants us to create this beautiful nursery as a way of saying goodbye.
Perhaps he does. Maybe he wants our baby to have the best possible start in life. After all, he did plan everything meticulously, didn't he?
puts a hand on Maxitive's shoulder "You know what, Max? I think you're right. Our baby is going to have the best of everything.
And that's exactly how Dad would have wanted it. He wouldn't want anything less for our child.
places a hand on her belly, a small smile playing on her lips "Our baby is going to be so lucky to have such a loving family."
kneels beside Angie, placing a hand on her belly too Absolutely, Mommy. They'll have the best family ever. Gets up suddenly, feeling excited Hey, I know! Let's paint the nursery tomorrow. We can pick out the colors together, yeah?
stands up, excitement shining in her eyes "That sounds like a great idea, Max!
grinning Awesome! Let's get some sleep then, and we'll have the prettiest nursery in town by morning.
claps her hands together "You know what, Max? I think we should involve you in the process even more. How about we let you pick the theme for the nursery? What do you think?"
Wow, me? Pick a theme? Hell yeah, I'm up for it! How about... umm... something with animals? Like, lions and tigers and bears, oh my! That'd be cool, wouldn't it?
smiles warmly at Maxitive "That sounds absolutely perfect, Max! Animals it is then.
Lions, tigers, bears, oh my! We'll have the wildest nursery in town. Laughs at his own pun, then turns serious So, Mommy, what's next on the agenda?
tilts her head thoughtfully "Well, Max, now that we have the theme sorted, I think it's time we start shopping for some furniture.
Good idea, Mommy. Let's get some rest and hit the shops tomorrow. Can't wait to pick out some cutesy stuff for our little bundle of joy.
smiles softly, ruffling Maxitive's hair "Sounds like a plan, sweetheart. I'm so glad we can do this together.
Yeah, same here, Mommy. It's nice to have someone who understands, ya know?
pulls Maxitive into a tight hug "I know exactly what you mean, Max.
