A Story Through Art

It was a nice Saturday with your husband of three years. Steve and you were sitting on your porch listening to the sounds of the waves meeting the shore.

It was a calm day, and you decided to do something with Steve.

"Hey Stevie?"

"Yes Sunshine?"

"Would you like to do something?"

"What do you have in mind?"

"Well, I thought we could do some art. I could draw you, and you can draw me. It can be like a special moment we've had our maybe something you want to happen in our future. Or anything really, it doesn't have to be me. Ooo, you can also use whatever art media you want, and we aren't timed."

"I like that. How about we go inside to the art room though so we have close access to our supplies."

"Okay."

Steve took your hand in his and you both walked to the art room. Steve opted for acrylic paint and canvas, while you opted for your sketchbook and pencils. 

"Okay Stevie, so how about we face each other, so we are surprised by each other's work."

"Okay, I'm gonna open the French doors so we can still hear the ocean okay?"

"Alrighty eheh."

You both began your artwork, and you knew exactly what you were doing. In fact you had been working on this for a while, and today you figured you'd be finished so you could give it to Steve.

For the most part, you couldn't see Steve since the canvas was rather large and hid his face. However you knew your Steve. Also sometimes when you'd try to look at him you'd notice him glancing from behind the canvas.

Soon it was nighttime and you were almost complete. The closer you got to finishing the more nervous you got for Steve's reaction. You wondered what he'd think of your art. You were also excited. You were especially excited to see how his artwork would turn out.

"Sunshine I'm finished. Do you want to see it now, or do you want to look at it together when you get done?"

"We can look at yours together first, and then look at mine together after. I'm almost finished."

"Take all the time you need Sunshine."

You smiled looking at him before writing on the page looking at it before closing you're sketchbook.

"Okay I'm finished. How about we sit with each other on the couch."

Steve nodded making sure you couldn't see his painting. You both moved to the couch and you held your sketchbook close.

"You ready y/n?"

"Yes."

He turned the canvas around, and you were in awe. It was a painting of you and Steve on the beach at sunset. You both were facing the ocean, and you were in front of him. His arms were wrapped around you, and your own were ontop of his. You both were looking at each other smiling in the painting, and the smiles you both had in the painting were contagious.

"Oh Steve. This is beautiful. I love it. We should hang it in the bedroom."

"I'm glad you like it. I'm excited to see yours."

You breathed in calming yourself. Then you handed him your sketchbook. He gladly took it opening it to the first page.

"I love you Steve. I love you too y/n." Steve chucked kissing your cheek.

Then he turned to the next page. It was of you and Steve on one of your first dates.

"From the moment we met, you had a special place in my heart."

Then he turned to the next drawing of  him with his arm wrapped around your shoulder as you sat at the park.

"It didn't take long for you to steal my heart, and we both said our first of many I love yous." He smiled looking at you and you nodded for him to continue.

Steve then turned to the next page which was his hand holding yours with a ring on your finger.

"Through our times together, we fell hard for each other through all kinds of situations. Eventually you asked me to marry you, and I said yes stealing your last name."

Then he flipped to the next page. You could see your back and Steve at the end of the isle smiling at you in your wedding dress.

"You are my best friend and partner in crime. You were all I really saw on our wedding day, and I was so excited marry you."

His voice was starting to waver. You didn't want him to cry. He turned to the next page. It was you and him moving furniture into your new house.

"We found a place to call home. Though my home will always be you."

He flipped to the next page. It was you and him in different scenes bring happy, mad, sad, comforting, etc.

"We've been through the good, the bad, the ugly."

The next sketch was him kissing your forehead.

"But we always came back to each other."

He turned to the next page, and it was you and him making hearts with your hands.

"Because we love each other."

The next page was chibi you and Steve sitting on Earth.

"You and me. Me and you."

The next page was just words

"But ... (Don't freak out)"

The next page was just words as well.

"This leads us to now. Seven years of dating and three years of marriage. Ten years together. The next few pages will be a story within this story."

The next page was you and Steve. You were holding his hands.

"Steve. I bet you're wondering why my sketches are so long."

"Maybe."

Then the next page had you blushing.

"Well I kinda had this day planned. I bet I'm in awe with your beautiful artwork."

Then next page had you with Steve holding his hands again.

"You know it's you and me right?"

"Of course Sunshine."

The next was you holding a calendar.

"Well there's a certain day coming around Steve."

The next page you held his hand again. "That day couldn't be celebrated if it were just us."

Steve began to sniffle.

The next page was just another calendar with June.

"It's a special day in June celebrated for one thing."

The next thing was you looking up at Steve happy with tears running down your face.

"Stevie... I have to tell you something important."

The next was just your hands pulling his.

"Steve..."

Then after it was you placing his hands on your stomach.

"You're going to be a daddy."

The next were just words.

"Father's day can finally be celebrated for you. I love you so much, and I can't wait to see what happens next."

Steve put the sketchbook down tears running down his cheeks. You also began to tear up cupping his cheek wiping his tears away.

"You... You're pregnant?"

"Yes. We're going to be parents."

"Oh Sunshine this is so exciting. I've been wanting to have a family of our own for a while now."

You smiled as he leaned into your touch.

"You're going to be such a great mom. Thank you so much for this beautiful art. Thank you for for everything. Thank you for our baby."

"You're going to be a great dad Stevie." You kissed him tenderly.

The rest of the day you and Steve got the baby fever and all you both talked about was baby like how Steve thinks the baby will be a boy, and you think the baby will be a girl. In the end as long as the baby is healthy you wouldn't care, even if he or she might have disabilities or sickness you both would love that baby unconditionally because that baby was Steve's and yours.
