It had taken a long time for him to get there. In the place she was. He was more scared than anything else, not that he’d ever tell her that. But now they were in that place, he wouldn’t change it. Everything was perfect. They were living together, sleeping in the same bed every night they could, they both wore rings that only came off for surgery, they were together, for life, he knew it for certain.
He knew it for certain when he woke up next to her in the morning, her tired yet beautiful eyes staring back at him.
He knew it for certain when he watched her laughing with his daughter and chasing after his granddaughter.
He knew it for certain everytime they had to endure endless fertility treatments that drained her, made her want to give up when they failed, made him make her fight for it.
He knew it for certain when the test finally turned positive, through every scan and every check-up, through a 14 hour labour and countless sleepless nights.
He knew they’d be together for life.
Everytime he saw her with their daughter his heart burst with pride, when she’d bring the baby into their bed and they’d spend a lazy Sunday morning cuddled up together he’d never felt so happy.
Sure they fought, like every other couple on the planet, and he spent one long painful night on the couch when his daughter and granddaughter stayed in the guestroom, but it didn’t matter, because they loved each other, despite each others flaws.
She’d always known it for certain. Deep in her heart she knew. She knew if they could get past the first hurdle, everything else would just fall into place, and it did. And they had never been more certain.
