And do you know what he got me yesterday?” Mira hulled, her face flush as she glares at me through the screen
Hmm let me guess, a dildo? Kristina joked. We were in a three way facetime call. Mira was yapping for the last minute about Ryan who apparently left his socks in the kitchen yesterday.
Mira rolled her eyes. “Ne Kristina, worse. He got me cheetos. Fucking cheetos! thate cheetos!”
Both Kristina and I giggled. “I think that’s romantic for an apology gift,” Kristy jokes. Five years has gone by yet we all were same. Mir with her dramatics, Kristy with her sarcasm and well me being the grounded one I suppose. The one who is the emotional plue.
Romantic my left asscheek,” Mira snorted. “This man loves getting on my nerves.”
But you love him so much,” I pointed out, making her roll her eyes, yet I see that ghost of a smile on her face.
Enough about me and Ryan, I think I have distracted you quite enough now. So……what does it read?” her brows draw up, her questioning eyes peering through me. My heart starts to pound as I remember why I was in the damn bathroom with my best friends on facetime in the first place.
A few inches from my fingers rested neatly on the bathroom countertop were three pregnancy tests.
She’s right. It has since passed five minutes since I took them. I had to check the results sooner than later.
Holding my breath, my gaze shift to the three tests. My hands trembling slightly as I stare at all three. The lines are clear, bold and unquestionable. Positive.
All three were positive.
The silence stretches on the call, Mira and Kristy now serious faces leaning closer to their screen. Their eyes wide with interest.” Well?” Kristina ask.
“Am I going to be an aunt?” Mira ask, her voice chirped with a bit of excitement.
I stare at them through teary eyes and finally nod. They’re all positive…..I’m pregnant.”
A moment of silence.
Then wild chaos.
Holy shit I fucking knew it!” Mira squealed. “I told you, you were!”
Mira and Kristy were the ones who nudged me to take one seeing as I have been craving weird stuff lately and have been getting
nauseas often.
“You’re going to be a mom!” Kristy laughs giddily.

Gosh let’s hope the baby doesn’t get Kaleb’s features,” Mira faked in disgusted shiver. “He’s so ugly.”
You two literally took identical, Kristy pointed out with a snort.
Mira’s eyes narrowed.” Don’t you dare insult me like that”
Suddenly there’s a distinct thud of a door closing. “Baby I’m homel” Kaleb says loudly.
My heart skips and I look at the two in panic. Kristy and Mira’s eyes widen. “Okay, okay, calm down, you got this. He’ll be happy.” Mira assured me gently.
Kristina nods. “Kaleb would love this news,”
A lump forms in my throat. We never had plans to have a kid yet. Hell we just got our own apartment and Kaleb just got a new job. What if.” my voice cracks.” What if he doesn’t.”
Mira gives me an ‘are you serious‘ look and scoffs.” My brother loves you the most in this entire world. Trust me, this man would love to hear that he made a little Bailey or,” she fake shivers. “a little him with you.”
Baby?” Kaleb calls out again, this time his voice worried.
“I’ll be out in a second!” I croaked out, unable to keep the emotion out of my voice and like expected heavy footsteps near the bathroom door in seconds. He knocks. “Are you okay in there flower?” he ask gently.
I lean closer to the phone and whisper to the girls that I’d call them later on. They nod and we bid our goodbyes before ending the
call.
Flower?” His voice is softer now, more cautious. “Baby, what’s wrong?”
I
I wipe my tears quickly, My heart rate so high I am afraid I am closer to getting a heart attack. I had to tell him, even though I was afraid for his reaction I had to face him eventually.
Taking in a deep breath, I turn to the door and hear a soft yap of a puppy followed by Kaleb’s shushing. I opened the door and there he was with our three month old cute golden retriever, Milo, in his hand. Once his eyes land on me, his brows crease with concern and he steps forward.
“Bailey,” he says, using his free hand to cup my cheek, his thumb brushing away a tear I hadn’t realized slipped out.” Talk to me baby, what’s wrong?”
I couldn’t seem to form words so I twist my body in a way so he’d see the tests and look over at the three so his eyes would draw to them also.” I’m pregnant.”
Kaleb froze and for a moment everything the room stills, even my heart seem to stop with anticipation. His gaze snap to mine, then back at the three test, his eyes growing comically wide every second.
He blinked. Once. Twice.
*Flower….” he whispered, his voice shocked, his eyes then drop to my stomach and his gaze softens. “You’re really….”
I nod, a nervous smile stretching on my lips. “We’re
e going to have a baby.”
Milo gave out a soft yip as if confirming the news himself.” Holy shit,” he breathed out, staring at me like I was some kind of

goddess in his eyes. We’re pregnant?” he was still in disbeliet, placing Milo on the floor gently before standing up.
Inod again.“Yeah I took three to be sure,” I said shakily, “We’re pregnant and I’m sorry if that’s not what you wanted to hear

Kaleb eats up the distance between us and pulls me flush in his arms, crashing his lips on mine softly. It was’t those hungry kisses he has always given me, no, this one was slow, sensual, like the mimic of when we make love.
He rest his forehead on mine, his breathing as quick and rough as mine.” That’s the best news I’ve ever heard flower. I’m going to be a dad. You’re going to be the mother of my child,” his voice is thick with emotion.
“You’re b
His hands slip to my belly and he cups it tenderly. “You’re holding our baby,” he murmurs in awe, a happy smile spreading on his face.
Relief wash over me and happiness swarm over my body. Tears fill my vision. “We’re going to be a family,” my voice tremble with
emotions.
Kaleb nods and Milo runs circles around us as if knowing about the great news. Barking happily, he nudges himself between us. I giggle, pulling away from Kaleb to pick him up. “I guess Milo is excited to have a brother or sister,” I laughed, running my hands through his fur and accidentally shifting his collar.
Something falls out, clunking on the wooden floors. My brows furrowed and my eyes drop to the floor. My heart leaps into my throat. On the floor is diamond ring that looked like it cost way more than this apartment.
Kaleb curses.” Fuck,” he crotches.” This isn’t exactly how I wanted you to see the ring, or how I wanted to propose,”
My breath catches.
Propose?” I whisper, still holding on to Milo to my chest, my gaze fixed on the sparkling ring between us.
Kaleb rubs the back of his neck, skin flushing as he become even more nervous than he had looked a few moments ago when I told him I was pregnant. “Yeah, it was supposed to be a little more cuter than well….it dropping to the floor,” he coughed in embarrassment.
I blink. Once. Twice. Trying to process what was happening while my heart beat quickly. “You were…….going to propose?” | repeated like an old cassette.
Kaleb kneels and picks up the ring but doesn’t get back up. No. He’s on one knee, his shaky fingers lifting up the ring slightly while he raise his gaze to mine. We’re locked in our own little world instantly.
“I wasn’t just going to propose,” Kaleb says softly, his eyes swimming with nervousness. “I am proposing flower,” his eyes shift between mine, searching for signs I am not sure of. He takes in a sharp breath. “I love you Bailey. I have been since I was a stupid teenager boy who tried his hardest to pretend that I didn’t stare at you the moment you walked into a room. You always drew me in like you were some kind of divine goddess sent to earth for only me to cherish and love. And now,” his eyes drop to my stomach.
I can’t breathe. It’s like I had just stopped. Staring at him through my blurry vision, unable to hold back the tears. My heart pace

was swift and untameable, the organ was screaming yes over and over.
Now you’re carrying our baby and if this isn’t a sign from the universe that I am exactly where I need to be, then I don’t know what else will be. Will you marry me? Be my wife Bailey. Be my forever,” he looks nervous, his face flushing even redder than
before.
“Yes!” I don’t wait a second longer and shout with every emotion I felt for him. “Yes of course I will marry you!” I say happily.
I can see the tension slip from his face and replace with relief and happiness. He slips the ring on my finger and stands up, pulling.

both me and Milo flush against him. His lips find mine and I giggle merrily.
“You’re going to be my wife,” he whispers on my lips with affection and warmth.
I nod, melting into him. “You’re going to be my husband.”
He press his forehead against mine, his eyes closed in content. “We’re going to be a family,”
I smile. “All four of us,” I sighed with joy as Milo barked between us.
“Always,” he kissed my forehead, his lips lingering there as if scared that I’d disappear any second.
And forever,” I replied, closing my eyes in content.
