Daniel

You had a sailor husband, and you'd been married for two years. You lived by the ocean, just like you'd dreamed. He often had to go on voyages, but he always tried to spend as much time with you as possible.

Daniel had light blue eyes, black curly hair, and broad shoulders. This morning, he announced he was urgently leaving for a two-month trip.

• Darling, I will write. I promise.

In the evening, you saw him off at the airport, barely holding back your tears.

• I love you, sunshine.

He kissed the top of your head and left.

A week later, you noticed a missed period. You bought a test and nervously awaited the results.

Two stripes.

• Oh my god...

That same evening you wrote to Daniel. The reply came almost immediately.

— Sun? Are you pregnant?

• Yes...

— I'm incredibly happy! Even the captain was surprised!

You smiled.

• Honey, I'll cancel the flight.

• No need!

• It is necessary. I will not leave you alone.

It was not possible to convince him.

A few weeks later, your best friend came to visit. She helped with everything and kept you from feeling sad.

• Why don't you tell Daniel how much you miss him?

— I don’t want to distract him from his work.

• He will still come running to you at the first call.

She turned out to be right.

In the evening you wrote to him:

• Daniel... I feel bad.

The answer came instantly.

• I'm leaving.

The next day, you heard a knock on the door. When you opened it, you froze.

Daniel stood on the threshold with a suitcase.

He hugged you right away.

• Daniel?..

— I told you I would come.

He knelt down and gently kissed your still flat stomach.

• Baby, daddy is here.

Tears of happiness came to your eyes.

• You shouldn't have quit your job.

"Sunshine, you are my wife and you are carrying my child. There is nothing more important to me than you."

He kissed you tenderly.

• You are my whole life.
