JJ's POV:

We were in South Africa and lately, Kie has been acting off ever since we left Europe. So far, Africa has been one of my favorite counties. We were truly on our surf trip, staying in bamboo huts and having fires and surfing.

I got up early today and Kie was already up, strange. She loves to sleep in just like me. I saw her sitting on the beach with her knees up to her chest. I plopped down beside her and said, "Good morning"

She was crying and I immediately knew something was wrong. She looked at me and said, "Jayge, I have to go home"

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked as a million thoughts were going through my head

"I'm pregnant" She said with her voice shaking

My heart started beating fast. I wasn't expecting her to say that. I hugged her and I didn't know how she felt about this. I don't know how I felt. She was pregnant. We were on our surf trip and planning a wedding, now we were having a baby. My mind went back to when she had that chemical pregnancy. I'm sure this is why she was so upset, she was thinking the worst.

"I know a baby wasn't in the plans right now, so I totally understand if you wanna run for the hills"

"Kie, I love you and our little blob of cells growing inside you. I'm not going anywhere. There are way too many strings attached for me to walk away now"

"I love you" She whispered

"I love you too" I replied kissing her

We booked tickets home to the Outer Banks for later tonight. We didn't want to end the surf trip early, but it was important that we got home so Kie could get into the doctor and make sure everything with the baby and the pregnancy was okay. On the plane, I held her hand and whispered, "Don't think the worse, okay?"

"I'm trying not to, but I can't help it" She said as I kissed her hand

"It's all going to be okay" I reassured her

We landed and her parents picked us up from the airport. I know Kie didn't want to tell her parents about the pregnancy yet so when they asked why we came home early, I simply said, "My boss called and works getting busy"

"Ah, stupid work getting in the way. What country was your favorite?" Mike asked

"South America" I said without a second thought because it was the country that I found out I'm going to be a dad

Anna started asking a bunch of questions and Kje said her favorite was Costa Rica. We arrived back at the Carrera's house and it was super late. We were exhausted from a long day of travel. We showered and passed out in bed. The next morning, Kie called and made an appointment. Due to the last chemical pregnancy her doctor wanted to see her today and was able to squeeze her in around noon.

We went to the appointment together and the doctor asked questions and did an ultrasound. Kie was around eight weeks already and we had a healthy baby. Kie started crying and I kissed her head and said, "Look at our strong healthy baby"

The doctor got us pictures of the ultrasound and we left the clinic. We had so much to talk about, but we were just so happy we had a healthy baby.

"I think we should tell the pogues" Kie suggested

"Okay, whatever you want to do"

Kie texted in the group chat and told everyone we were back and to meet at the Chateau tonight. When we arrived, everyone came and hugged us.

"OMG, you guys are back early! Tell us everything" Sarah said

We talked about the trip, leaving out the pregnancy part. That is until Pope asked the same question Kie's parents asked, "What was your favorite country?"

"Costa Rica, it was like a dream come true. It s where our surf trip started" She smiled

"South America, it's the country that I found out I'm going to be a dad" I smiled as my friends

"NO! Seriously? OMG! Kie, you're pregnant!!" Sarah said loudly

"Yeah, eight weeks" Kie answered

"Holy shit, congrats!" Pope said

"Damn, I can't wait to be an uncle" John B said

Everyone was hugging Kie and jokingly I said, "Don't forget me guys, those were my swimmers"

John B hugged me and said, "I'm happy for you, brother. Honestly shocked you waited this long to knock a girl up"

"Shut up" I laughed

"Guys, picture a mini JJ" Pope said and everyone stayed talking about how much trouble a mini JJ would get into

"Nahh, if it's a boy, he'll be so much better than me because he's got the best mom in the world"

"Omg, but JJ would be such a good girl dad" John B said

"Yeah, she's never be allowed to date" Sarah laughed

"Hell no, look at all the trouble Kie's gotten into with me. I don't want our daughter agreeing to friends with benefits with some pogue"

Everyone laughed and I said, "Just kidding, that arrangement got me my future wife and baby"

"When is the wedding?" Sarah asked

Kie and I looked at each other and we honestly had no idea. I knew she didn't want to be super pregnant at the wedding.

"Maybe we should just elope and get married on a beach"

"Honestly, that would sweet!" Pope said

"Yeah, as long as we're invited" Sarah said

I looked at Kie and she was smiling. She looked at me and said, "I think it would be cool to get married on a beach right before sunset"

"Yucatán?" I asked hopeful and she had the biggest smile on her face

When we were in Yucatán on our surf trip, we watched a couple get married at a resort close by. This was happening and it was going to happen fast. I was ready. Bring on being a husband and a dad.
