Izzy rubbed her protruding stomach. It’d been months since she’d seen him, and soon he’d find out she was pregnant.
Sam was on his way home, the war ended. Izzy prepared his favorite meal, lamb with cut string beans and mashed potatoes. The aroma of cooked meat and vegetables filled the room.
The doorbell rang and Izzy hastened to answer it. There in the doorway stood Sam holding a bouquet of freshly cut flowers.
Sam stared at her stomach. “Izzy, are you?”
Before he could finish the sentence, she pulled him into a hug and screamed yes, the meal forgotten.
