Chapter Twenty-Five

Damon was down on one knee with a little white teddy in his hands, which said I love you on a red heart that was stuck to its belly. However placed on the teddies legs was a little red velvet box, my heart started racing so hard in my chest, as the biggest smile took over my face. Damon took hold of my hand, I could tell he was nervous; by the way his hand was shaking. Our eyes locked, mine were watery but I quickly wiped them dry as I tried to calm myself down. I could see the sparkle in his eyes,  “Sheena, I know we haven’t known each other that long, but since the moment I met you I have known deep in my heart that you are the one. The one I want to spend the rest of my life with, you are the one I want to mother our children”. ”Sheena I love you, and without you, my life means nothing to me, as you complete me”. “Sheena will you marry me?” He asked, as he opened the little red box. ”WOW” was all I could manage to say, I was completely speechless. The ring was delicate, placed in the centre of the white gold band was a heart shape diamond, which sparkled so much against the light of the moon, that it astounded me. I heard Damon clearing his throat, tearing my eyes away from the most beautiful ring I have ever laid eyes on, I looked up at Damon. I could see he was beyond nervous now, his forehead was dripping with sweat, lowering my eyes until they locked with his. “Damon YES” I screamed. He jumped of the ground, placed the ring on my second to last finger, and placed a kiss onto the back of my hand. Then he picked me up and spun me round. I couldn’t help but giggle, he was laughing as he spun me around. As he came to a stop he looked straight into my “Sheena you have made me the happiest man alive!” he said with so much meaning and honesty that I leaned in closer and crashed my lips to his and kissed him with everything I had, every part of me exploded.

As we reached back to his SUV we started talking dates for our wedding which we both decided we would wait for at least a year as he wanted to wait for me to finish my education first. As the new job that Alisha managed to get me, they had set it up, that I will attend college once a week, which was amazing, as after the year course is finished, and I would be a fully qualified lawyer’s receptionist.

Things were really starting to look up in my life and I had two people to thank for this, Damon and his mom. Damon for loving and showing me that most people could be trusted.  In addition, Alisha for giving me the chance, to have a proper and respectable job. I will never forget my life but from today, I will enjoy and try to put it all behind me, I thought to myself.

Damon and I have been living together peacefully now for the last six months, and to say I have never been happier would be an understatement. Touch wood we have not even argued once, it is as if every thing we have been through has made our relationship so much stronger.

 Damon got his medical clearance and has gone back to work now, which believe me was the best news ever.  There is not a day that I don’t worry when he leaves through that front door for work. However, I know it is what he loves doing, and after all, I had known what his job was the day I fell in love with him, but that does not make it any easier.

Nevertheless with me being so busy with my new job seems to take my mind off him when he works the same hours as me, but when he works nights is the hardest, as I can never manage to get a full night sleep. The cities crime is at its highest at the minute and nighttime is when all the villains seem to be out in force, which only makes me worry more. One of Lee and Damon’s close work friends Paul was killed a few weeks ago and that made Cherelle and me more on edge. Nevertheless, Cherelle and I keep it together, as we always have each other to talk to and we both know how the other one is feeling so it is so good that we have each other.

Cherelle and Lee are getting married in a couple of mouths, and Cherelle is driving me in sane with all the wedding plans. I had arranged to meet her at her house this morning; however, Damon and I were just on our way to the doctors. As Damon is being the over protective boyfriend at the minute, as I have had a stomach bug for the last couple of days and he goes on as if I am dieing, ha. Nevertheless, I must admit, I do love the way; he worries and cares about me. It is just sometimes, he just goes a little too much over board like now. As we pulled up outside the doctor’s surgery, I stayed in my seat, as every time I see a doctor everything from the past seems to flash back. I felt my door opening, knowing it was Damon I  gave him a stern look, letting him no that I hated him for doing this. He just laughed it off. “Come on baby-cakes” he said while laughing. I still did not budge, I felt like a child having a tantrum, but I hated going in there I really did. Leaving out a breath I didn’t even realise I was holding I started to climb out.

Sitting in the doctors waiting room, I was  playing with my hands on my lap, I was feeling so nervous, Damon must have sensed how I was feeling as he wrapped his arm around me pulling me in closer towards his body. The feeling of his warm body against mine always seems to sooth me. He makes me feel so safe and loved that all my nervousness and worries fly out the window.

The doctor called for me, I got up slowly out of my seat and started walking towards the Doctor. Sensing Damon was not following me. I stopped, feeling uneasy going in there by myself; “Damon come on” I called back to him.

 He sprung up onto his feet and ran over to me,”I didn’t think you would want me to go in with you” he replied. “Well there is no way on earth that I am going in there without you.” I whispered so only he could hear. Grabbing hold of his hand, I dragged him along beside me.

 As we entered the doctor’s room, “Hello how may I help you today Sheena?” he asked, as he glanced through my notes. “I think I have a stomach bug” I replied. ”Ok, could you lie down on the bed please?” he asked.

As I stood up, my legs felt a little shaky, making me lose my balance, I reached for Damon’s hand but he was already at my side. Wrapping one of his arms around my waist, we walked over towards the bed at the other side of the room.

 As I climbed up onto the bed, I quickly thanked Damon with my eyes; he gave me a warm smile in return. Damon moved away a bit so the doctor could examine me. After he prodded me for what felt like ages “Sheena I am going to need to take some blood tests” he said, as he started to get some things off the shelf beside us. I looked over at Damon as I started to panic. Damon started to rub his hand along my leg; I could feel myself instantly calming down.

 Our eyes met, as I could feel the doctor tightening the strap around my arm, which would make my veins more visible. I could see the worry in Damon’s eyes as the doctor stuck the needle in me I left out a small yelp, as I felt the sharp prick of the needle. Damon gave my leg a light squeeze, as he tried to take my mind off it. “There all done Sheena” the doctor said as he walked back over to his desk. I got off the bed to follow him when I felt the nausea taking over me again. I could not hold it in and vomited all over the floor. The doctor came running over to me with a silver bowl in his hand; he passed it to Damon to hold while he went and called someone to clean up the mess on the floor. I kept throwing up until there was nothing left to throw up. Damon helped me back onto the bed so I could sit down for a while.

As I looked up, I was shocked to see the doctor smiling; after all, I had just thrown up all over the floor. I nodded to Damon for him to look at the doctor, then he turned back to face me with the same puzzled look as me. We both took another look at the doctor only to be caught, and then he started laughing. “Hmm sorry, but what seems to be so funny?” I asked the doctor, feeling a bit cheesed off at how he just continued laughing.

After he managed to calm himself down a bit he said “Sheena when was your last period?” he asked. Then I started to think back to when my last period was, and it was so long ago, that, that is when I coped on to what he was saying. I looked up at Damon and he looked so confused, I could have laughed my head off, but thinking that I could be pregnant had my head spinning. What if Damon does not want this, say if Damon is not ready yet. Then I thought back to the night he proposed to me, “you are the one I want to mother our children”. Just remembering those words soothed out all of my negative thoughts.

“I’m not sure, to be honest I can’t even remember when my last one was” I replied nervously. “Well I think we have our answer to your sickness right there,” he stated with a big smile.

Damon was looking back and forth between me and the doctor,”could one of you please tell me what is going on?” I looked up at Damon and I could see the doctor looking at me. I felt so nervous but the feeling of excitement over ruled the nervousness. “Damon, how can I say this, hmm,” I said aloud trying to find the right words. ”Just tell me would you,” he said getting frustrated, “You’re going to be a daddy” I replied quickly. His face was hilarious, he looked at me in shock, but I could also see the sparkle in his eyes, knowing he was as shocked as I was, but also excited. “I am going to be a dad?” he asked as if he could not believe it. I nodded my head up and down, and then he started doing some mad happy dance around the room making me and the doctor bust out laughing. Then he ran back over to me, and scooped me off the bed “I love you so much, we are having a baby” he shouted out as he started to spin me around, Feeling the bile rise in my mouth I tried to get Damon to stop but couldn’t as I started to gag. He stopped as he heard me and placed me back into the chair, while he non-stopped apologizing to me. He stroked my hair back away from my face, and looked at me with so much love and excitement; my heart swelled knowing he was feeling as overwhelmed as me.
