Ludwig Beilschmidt ³

He kept glancing back and forth between you, the positive pregnancy test, and the ultrasound images you’d taken yesterday during your doctor’s appointment. His heart filled with warmth and love—for you, his wife, and for your future child.

“I’m going to be a father…” “We did it...” Ludwig whispered, gently wrapping his arms around your waist and burying his face in your neck.

Before this, you and Ludwig had been trying to conceive for a very long time, but over time, you both lost hope. So you decided to live your lives for yourselves for now and adopt a child from an orphanage in the future.

Several hours had passed since you told him about your pregnancy. It was already late in the evening. Ludwig was lying in your shared bed, intently reading a book about pregnancy and fatherhood.

“You’ll need to take more vitamins. I’ll definitely buy some tomorrow,” he said, setting the book down on the
nightstand.
