The timing couldn't have been any better. It was the outlaws birthday last night so the wife went over for a meal, along with her sister. The outlaws family was complete, so now was the best time to mention the news.
During the daytime the missus informed her mother of the expecting addition to our family, and I can honestly say, she wasn't surprised. What a let down!
"What took you so long?" was the opening line to myself when I met mum that evening.
"Well, you know, we wanted to get married first; I'm a bit old fashioned, so I wanted a strong family bond to be there before we though about children. Then we both decided that the house we were in was not going to be sufficient enough for a family, so we wanted to move first so that we wouldn't have that stress later in life".
"I knew you were trying." I'm glad it was met by positive approval. You still want these things to happen. It gives you a warm feeling knowing that the outlaws aren't going to be angry at you for putting their daughter in the club.
"So, what are you going to say to him?" - The wife's sister was beckoning her dad to give me praise. This is a man I admire for all the worldly things he has given the wife to make her as she is.
An with that, an outstretched hand and beaming grin meet me.
"Well done son, well done."
