Michael froze for a full minute, the silence on his end loud and long even though it had lasted for only a minute.
"What?" He returned after a minute of silence, unsure if he should be happy or angry. Was it his? Or was it Noah's? He asked himself as he waited for Olivia's reply. It couldn't be Noah's, right? If it was his, then there was no really no need for Olivia to tell him about it.
"Yes! We're going to be parents soon!" Olivia clarified, and only then did Michael remember to breathe properly. His eyes teared up in joy, and if he hadn't been at work, he likely would have jumped up and screamed out his lungs out of excitement.
"Where are you now? Tell me so I can come get you!" He demanded, his tone vibrant, barely containing his excitement.
