"I think you should do what you want to do." She waved her hands at her eyes trying to stem the tears. She felt silly, always so emotional during pregnancy and maybe it was just motherhood in general, but she got sappy really quickly these days.

Sniffling, she laughed quietly. "Yes," she swiped at the tears on her cheeks again. "No, my back hurts, I'm exhausted, you're such a good father and that's really a good opportunity to make us more comfortable, but not if you don't want it" Elsie blubbered quietly knowing none of that made sense or was connected in any way but it was all true. "I'm actually really happy, I promise." She had never imagined they would be so comfortable, always thought things would be stretched thin, but they weren't, things were fine, even when she wasn't working and she was relieved and overwhelmed all at once.
