The snow was still largely untouched, creating the perfect festive background. Apart from a couple of dog walkers, this small corner of the park was deserted. Deciding to brave the cold, Lori removed her silver wrap, passing it to Scott and posed with Jake for a few quick shots, before the winter chill got the better of her. Feeling her shivering by his side, Jake called a halt. He fetched her wrap, gently placing it over her bare shoulders.
“Too cold for this, li’l lady wife,” he said, holding her close. “Let’s head back.”
“You’re right,” she sighed with a satisfied smile. “Scott, could you give us a minute alone, please?”
“Sure. I’ll head back to the car.”
Taking Jake’s hand, Lori led him down a side path towards one of the park’s many small bridges.
“You ok?” asked Jake when she stopped halfway across the bridge.
“Couldn’t be better. I just wanted you to myself for a minute,” she replied, taking both his hands in hers. “I’ve got something to tell you.”
“You have?”
Lori nodded. Gazing up into his hazel eyes, she said softly, “I’m pregnant.”
He stared at her in stunned disbelief as the news slowly filtered through to him.
“You’re going to be a daddy, rock star.”
Wrapping his arms around her, Jake held her tight, tears escaping down his cheeks.
