The next following day, I sat in the living room thinking about yesterday. I couldn't give Stephen an answer. I just couldn't. I was so confused. I had a lot going on in my life right now. From starting our relationship over, too being pregnant and now being asked to be his wife.

I just didn't know what to do. I mean I love Stephen, but I feel like he's asking me to marry him for the wrong reasons. I feel as if it's all because I'm pregnant. I didn't want that to be his reason for marrying me. I wanted his intentions to be, because he wanted too.

Deciding to get away for awhile, I grab my phone from the couch. I unlock my phone, and go into my contacts. I needed my best friend back in my life. I go to her number in my contacts, and text her.

You: Hey Kyla. I know your probably mad at me at this point. But I really miss you. I was wrong to push you out of my life, but I've learned to notice my mistakes. I'm back with Stephen, and we're having a baby. Surprise! lol..🤣 It's a boy. I really do miss you La-la. Please meet up with me. If your free of course. Love ya. 🙏❤

I click send and hope for the best that she would text me back. I really did miss her. And I could understand if she didn't want to talk to me ever again. I said a lot of hurtful stuff that day, and too this day I'm still surprised Stephen still wanted to be with me. Sighing I realize that Stephen really does care about me.

I always keep doubting his love for me, because I have this idea in my head that I'm not good enough for him. When in reality he loves me just the way I am. Getting up from off of the couch I walk towards the kitchen. I go into the refrigerator grabbing myself a bottle of water.

Hearing a ding from my phone, I grab it from the counter top. Unlocking it I go into my text messages to see a text from Kyla. Too my surprise she's not mad at me, but excited that I'm pregnant.

Kyla❤: I'm not mad at you. You had your reasons. I really really missed you too. I'm so glad your okay. And I'm glad you and Stephen are back together. But...pregnant!  Called it!!! Mixed babies..🤣💕 Yesss! Let's meet up at that local cafe in town.

I quickly text her back, grabbing my purse and Stephen's car keys I head out the door. A few hours later, I park the car in the parking lot. I get out pressing the car remote, and locking up the car.

I head towards the cafe to see Kyla sipping on a cup of coffee. Looking up from her phone, she gets up from her sit and runs over towards me. Engulfing me in a tight hug, she begins to sob which makes me tear up. I missed her so much.

"I missed you." She whispers.

She pulls slightly away from me, wiping her tears from her face. She smiles grabbing my hand, and pulling me towards the table she was sitting at. Once, we get settled into our seats, we both catch up on stuff going on in each other life.

"I can't believe my bestie is going to be a mommy. How did Stephen take the news?" She asks me.

"Really good actually. He's more excited then me. Can't stop rubbing my stomach, and talking to it." I smile, remembering just a few days ago Stephen and I were laying down in bed. Stephen laid beside my stomach rubbing, and talking to our son.

The smile on his face when he would touch or talk to him. He was going to be a great father. Stephen was also planning on us to travel to London again to visit his family.

His family especially his mother were floored when he told them I was pregnant, and that he had asked me to be his wife. His mother really didn't care, she was just happy Stephen was finally setting down to have a family of his own.

Breaking me from my thoughts, Kyla squeezes my hand from across the table. I look up at her smiling. "I'm glad that your finally happy. Stephen better be treating you right after all the stuff you two been through." She says.

"I know. He really has been great. Ever since he found out that I'm pregnant. His personality has flipped. He's more on top of my needs and my feelings." I was happy Stephen was finally trying to make our relationship work.

But it still bothered me. It felt as though he was just doing it, because I was pregnant. I just kept wondering what would happen once the baby was born. Would he change?

"I know that look. What's wrong?" She asks me. Shrugging my shoulders, I just look down.

"Look, everything is fine now. You and Stephen are happy. He loves you. He wouldn't be with you if he didn't." I look up at her and frown. I know Stephen loves me, but I feel like he's doing all of this for the wrong reasons.

"I know. But that doesn't change the fact that he asked me to marry him yesterday." I blurt out.

Kyla's eyes go wide and she stares at me in complete shock. "He WHAT!? Why didn't you tell me? That's great."

It wasn't that great, because I was still confused. There was that part of me who said yes marry him, but there was that part of me that also said no. I was stuck. I really do love Stephen, but I feel like this was not the proposal I expected.

It was done simply because I'm pregnant with his baby. Don't get me wrong I was happy I was having his first child. But I rather it had happened when we were married already.

Later on that day, me and Kayla had decided to go to the mall. We sat in the food court eating our lunch. As I ate Kayla was strolling on her phone. I had to admit, I was happy that I had her back in my life. Breaking me from my thoughts, she pushes her phone in front of me.

"Don't get mad. But look at this" She sneers.

Looking down at her phone screen, I see Stephen's ex's instagram profile. Looking more down I see yet another post from her, but this time this bitch had the nerve to post another picture of her and my man. I was beyond pissed.

@claudiaa_parra: Remember this beautiful day mi amor. 💕@whoiselijah

I knew not to blame Stephen. All he ever wanted was to protect me from people like his ex. She was just another jealous hoe, that wanted what she couldn't have. But me being petty. I hand Kyla back her phone, and take out my phone. I go into my instagram account and decided to make my account public.

I click into my phone galley and post two pictures tagging Stephen in both my post. Locking my phone, I look up at Kyla with a satisfied smile on my face.

@Prettybxgirl_08: Me and @whoiselijah are having a baby boy! Surprise. 👶

@Prettybxgirl_08: We are also engaged. Stephen propose to me yesterday. It was beautiful. I love you, mi amor. 💍 💒 @whoiselijah

"What did you do?" She asks with a straight face.

"You'll find out soon." And that's all I leave her with. We continue our day, and she doesn't ask me any further questions.

An hour later, I sat in the living room playing with Pablo. I throw one of his chew toys, and he runs after it. Of course we had to bring Stephen's baby. Hearing the front door unlock, I hear Stephen's footsteps near the living room. Turning around I see Stephen leaning on the wall watching me.

"Welcome back home." I smile sheepishly.

I knew he was probably upset about what I posted. But I wanted to take care of this myself. I wanted to show her and him that I was brave enough to stand up to her, and show him that I really love him. Stephen was my man.

I wanted to finally show him I wanted this relationship with him, and I was serious about building a family with him now. I just wanted to tell him how sorry I was for ever doubting his love for me or blaming him all the time. I just wanted to tell him he meant the world to me no matter what issue we went through as a couple.

I wanted him to be in my life forever. I had made my decision I wanted to marry him. Just looking into his green eyes made my heart melt. He made me feel like no other guy has made me feel. The love I had for him was unconditional. I couldn't be without him in my life.

Breaking me from my lovey dovey thoughts Stephen is standing in front of me. I didn't even notice he had moved from the wall. He slowly crouches down in front of me, but Pablo jumps on top of him making him fall backwards. I try not to laugh, but I just couldn't help it.

Stephen pats Pablo on the head which makes him lay across his lap. Looking back up at me, I smile at him trying not to laugh again. Instead of returning my smile, his face is set in a stern expression. Sighing I look down at my hands.

"I told you not to make a big deal out of this. But instead you stoop to her level. We went over this we were going to have a family gathering in London with our families, and then tell the public about being pregnant and our engagement." I hear the anger in his voice as he spoke. I understood his reasoning, but I wanted to show everyone including her that Stephen belonged to me.

"I know. I-I I'm sorry. But I couldn't help it. Just seeing her post pictures of you and her makes me angry. I know I'm being petty but I love you Stephen. I just wanted to show her that she can't have you, and that your my man not hers." I say confidently.

Moving closer to me he cups my face, and looks into my eyes. "You already know I belong to you. I only have eyes for you, and my heart only beats for you. Mi amor, I love you so much nothing in this world can stop me from leaving you. I vow that I will always try my best to keep you happy. I can't promise you we won't fight or have issues, but I promise I will never stop loving you."

At that moment tears were dripping down my face. My chest felt so tight, and it felt as though my world had stopped for just a moment. Stephen was everything I ever wanted.

His love for me shined bright in his green eyes. He was my light that I had been searching for. I wasn't going to be alone, he was always going to be by my side and I was in love with him because of that.

"Yes..." I whisper.

I move forward engulfing him in a tight hug. "Yes? What do you mean, mi amor?" He questions.

"Yes, I'll marry you." I pull slightly away from him, and softly kiss his lips.

It's been two weeks, since I told Stephen I would marry him. We were currently renovating our house. The house was now under reconstruction, we were temporarily living in my old condo. Kyla had helped me get my condo back until our house was finished.

Things have been going well between me and Stephen. But of course his ex has continued to be a bitch. She just won't give up on him. Even after we made our pregnancy and engagement public.

She really is persistently posting pictures of him and her or showing up to his photoshoots. He has even told her he's not interested, and to respect his wishes to leave him alone. But it doesn't seem like she's getting the message.

Laying in bed I turn over and face Stephen. He was currently sound asleep. He's been busy at work from doing photoshoots to doing DJ gigs. He's been non-stop working now. Moving closer towards him I peck his pink lips. I caress his face staring at his sleeping form.

He looked so peaceful while he was sleeping. All his worries and stress were gone from his face. His face was finally calm and relaxed. I didn't want him to worry anymore. I wanted to do something special for him to show him how much I appreciated him. Smiling I peck his lips one more last time, and hop out of bed.

I do my morning routine, once I'm done I get dressed and do my makeup. When I'm finally done with everything I grab my bag and keys heading out the door. I grab my phone from out of my pocket, and call up Kyla. I tell her to meet me at the car dealership in the city.

Half an hour later, we walk around looking at different cars. All of them were gorgeous. But one stood out to me, and I felt like it would fit Stephen just right.

"That one." I tell the sales associate helping us.

"Your sure? That on-" Kyla tries to say.

"It's worth it." I smile.

Finally, getting home I tell Kyla to go get Stephen. I couldn't wait to see the look on his face. Smiling I get out of the car, and stand by it.

A few minutes later, Kyla and Stephen step outside. Stephen looks at me then at the car. Kyla laughs and walks over towards me.

"Like it?" I ask smiling.

"What's this all for? You did something?" He questions staring at me cautionly.

"No. I wanted to show you how much I appreciate you. I love you my sexy fiance." I walk towards him, and drape my arms around his neck.

"Then...I love it. I love you too, mi amor. You really didn't have too." He whispers pecking my lips.

"But that's not all I have for you. I have two more gifts for you." I smirk.

"Oh really?" He questions.

"Yes." Pulling away from him, I grab his hand leading him back inside the house.

"Bye lovebirds." Kyla shouts.

It didn't take long for Stephen to find his third gift. He was honestly shocked. Couldn't blame him. It was a hard decision to make, but I really wanted to show him I was serious about our relationship and him. I loved him, and I didn't care if the whole world thought I was crazy for actually having him forever tattooed on my body. I tattooed him on my left thigh.

"Babe..why? You know I appreciate that you went all out for me. But you really didn't have to do this." He explains.

"I know I've told you about how I always wanted a tattoo. I really did put some thought into it and I thought why not have you as my first tattoo." I smile.

"Also...while we are on the subject. Who the fuck gives a pregnant woman a tattoo?!" I wasn't going to lie, I did lie to the tattoo artist that I wasn't pregnant, and even Kyla fought me on this. But eventually I won. I knew the downfalls of being tattooed while being pregnant, but I couldn't miss the opportunity to see Stephen's face when he saw the tattoo.

"Please don't be mad, Elijah. It's all my fault. I promise I won't do anymore stupid stuff. I just couldn't miss this opportunity to do this." I frown.

Sighing he grabs my face pecking me lips. "Don't you ever and mean ever harm our child again with this foolishness. But I appreciate the thought, mi amor. It's beautiful." He smiles slightly.
