“Yeah…well, sometimes that’s not always 100% especially if it’s not taken the same time every day. I think the time difference…or whatever could have affected it. I don’t know. I mean I don’t know.” I felt worried, tears filled my eyes. I felt so emotional!

“Are you…are you upset?”

His pouty lip pursed with his top lip before bursting into laughter.

The fresh tears that were waiting to pour, slowly dripped down my face.

“Awww,…” he continued to laugh. “Don’t cry.”

“Why are you laughing?”

I wiped a few more tears.

He continued to laugh even more before letting out a happy sigh. He took a sip of wine and continued laughing.

His happy lines around his eyes were dancing. He was beaming.

“I knew we would work out. You see. I may not be as much of a praying man as my father, but you sure did have me saying my prayers to God. I prayed a way for us to be together.”

The smile wouldn’t leave. It was plastered across his face.

“You think this is funny? I’m pregnant! And unmarried. And alone.”

“Shhh….shhhhh….” he continued his giggle fit as I continued to cry. The perfect mix in a relationship. Salt and pepper. Yin and Yang.

“Baby, I hate to say it. But you’re all mine. You’re just going to have to marry me now.”

“Marry you!”

“Come one. Don’t you like me?”

I nodded quickly.

“Don’t you…have deep feelings for me?”

“Yes.” My voice was a whisper.

“Aren’t you falling in love with me?”

I shot him that look. That damn you! But I love you look.

He covered my hand with his own and squeezed them before scooting back out of his chair and lifting me up in a big embrace.

“We’re going to have a baby!”

I still didn’t know how to process these emotions. I was still caught off guard. Shocked. “So, you’re….you’re happy?”

He pulled away from me.

“Of course I’m happy! I’m ecstatic!”

“But, we’re having a baby. You’re going to be a father. We’re not even in a relationship.”

“Shhh…shhhh…yes we are. And you know we are. You had to agree to it. You had to let me in. To trust me into your nice little world. Now you have to.”

He was right. I knew he was right. There really was no other way to get through my stubborn ways.

“Shhh…come here.” He wrapped his arms around me. “We’re going to have a baby together. She’s going to be gorgeous just like you.”
