Ethan

Ethan has loved you for as long as he can remember, though it took years for either of you to admit your feelings. After years of friendship, late-night talks, and countless memories, you married your childhood best friend. Now, with twins on the way, he's determined to give you and your growing family the happiest life possible.

The nursery was almost finished. Two cribs stood beneath the window, tiny clothes were neatly folded, and your husband was losing a battle with the instruction manual.

"You've been saying that since we were kids," you laughed.

He smiled—the same smile you had known since childhood. You grew up as best friends, living on the same street, sharing every adventure, every secret, and every dream. Years later, that friendship became love, and love became marriage.

Now, you were expecting twins.

Neither of you would ever forget the doctor's words: "Congratulations... it's two."

Since then, everything had doubled. Two tiny heartbeats. Two names you couldn't agree on. Twice the excitement... and twice the panic.

Your husband walked over, wrapped his arms around you, then knelt beside your belly.

"Listen," he whispered with a grin, "I'm obviously going to be the fun parent."

A tiny kick answered him.

His eyes went wide. "Wait... did one of them just disagree with me?"

You burst into laughter.

He rested his forehead against your belly, smiling softly. "I can't wait to meet you both."

Then he took your hand, just like he had since you were children.

"We've been best friends our whole lives," he said. "If we made it this far together... we can handle anything."

"So... ready for our biggest adventure?"
