[M4F] They have twin teenagers and they’re pregnant again.

James and his wife had a pretty great life together: because of his surgical career, she had been able to stay home with the twins for most of the last sixteen years. Now in their forties, they were, in their humble opinion, excellent parents, and their kids had grown up to be caring, motivated, and all around good kids. Life had been pretty busy lately; he knew a great deal of her time has been spent helping the twins with their school and athletic commitments. His hospital was welcoming its new classes of residents, and as chief, he had some responsibility for managing the various aspects of that program.

Tonight, though, was the end of their week, a Friday. James had just arrived in their spacious bedroom and was in the process of changing into his comfortable night clothes, usually pajama pants and a tank top. Despite the busy schedule at the hospital, he tried to take the occasional moment every day to reflect on the life he had with his family.

The kids were downstairs somewhere, probably studying or gaming. They were good kids who had always been close to each other, and James knew he and his wife were lucky to have them. After all, they would be off to college soon.
