Very sad I don't know, but it sounds like your h is feeling good talkin to you and he could have easily slipped it out. Doesn't mean he doesn't still love you either. Even if he doesn't say it.
Oh don't know about you, but what 4 yr old makes a dad buy a gift. Wink Wink!
My h too has recently been calling me darling, babe and in front of others.
Keep the positives coming!
