“I know..me either..I’m sorry Robin, I shouldn’t have shut you out like that. I just didn’t know who I was anymore.” I rushed out, making her nod once before looking down at the table.
Fuck..this was rough..I don’t think I have ever seen her like this.
“And do you now?” She asked, making my heart race.
“I know who I want to be..” I confessed, my eyes locking onto her engagement ring as I played with it. I was freaking relieved that she still wore it.
“And what do you want to be?” She breathed.
“I want to be your husband..I want to be the person you go to when you are sad..the person who can make it all better. I know I’ve failed at that..but please, give me another chance.” I practically begged.
I know what we have is incredible..I know I might’ve doubted that before, but seeing how much Jo has come to love her..and seeing how they bonded..that was the last thing I was insecure about. Well, before all that other shit in Florida exploded in my face.
“But..what if..what if we end up just like them?” She suddenly asked, her hand slightly pulling away as my eyes widened.
“We won’t..” I said firmly, knowing I would never treat Robin like her dad treated her mom..or even how my parents did to each other.
“But..”
“Robin, we won’t..we know better..we learned from their mistakes.” I was adamant about this.
“Ben..there..there is something else you need to know.” She choked out, making my stomach drop as I looked at her nervously.
Oh god..did she meet someone else? Did she find someone better?
Suddenly Robin reached into her pocket, her hands pulling out a clear plastic bag before placing it on the table as she slid it over to me.
I didn’t quite know what it was at first..my eyes stared down at this bag as I quickly realized that there was a pregnancy test inside.
Not only that..but it had two lines on it..wait.
“You’re..are you?” I managed to say, my eyes locking onto her hazel ones now as I watched tears spill over.
“I’m sorry..I don’t know how this happened..I know you wanted to wait and..and..” She began as realization hit me.
Robin was pregnant..the love of my life was pregnant with my child.
I stood up, my legs moving me to her side of the table as I kneeled down in front of her.
“You’re going to have my baby?” I asked, making her nod slowly as she bit her lip anxiously.
I immediately wrapped my arms around her, my mouth fusing to hers as I kissed her lips and cheeks happily.
“I love you Robin..I love you so much.” I rushed out, making her cry even more as I held onto her desperately.
“You..you aren’t mad?” She sniffled, making me shake my head no.
“Of course not..this is the best thing I have ever heard..my future wife is going to have my baby.” I said softly, making her look up at me in awe.
“B..but..babies don’t fix things Ben..if anything things might get harder..”
“We will get through it together. I know it doesn’t fix everything..but I feel like this is a sign that we are meant to be together..that we are meant to do this Robin..don’t you?” I asked her, making Robin nod up and down too.
“A baby..can you believe it?” She whispered, making me laugh happily as I gazed into her beautiful eyes.
“I never knew how much I wanted to hear those words until right this moment.” I confessed..yeah the idea scared me at first..just because I wanted us to be married and more settle down..but hearing those words, it made me realize just how much I truly love this woman.
“Soo..can I move back in now?” She asked, making me smile mischievously as I quickly stood and lifted her up into my arms.
“We can do much more than that baby..” I growled into her neck before biting, making her burst into giggles.
“Good..because I miss my bed and clothes.” She pouted, making me laugh even harder.
“There’s my girl..I was getting worried.” I teased, making Robin roll her eyes before slapping my chest.
“Now..there is someone you need to meet officially..” I added while carrying her out of the Cafe.
That’s when I realized that empty feeling was no longer there..no..now I had everything I needed..now I had my future wife and we were going to have a baby. How much more perfect could it get?

“Are you sure you just don’t want to go home and cuddle in bed..watch a movie..eat some junk food.” Caspian tried to sway me for the tenth time since leaving our new apartment.
We had officially moved in two days ago and still were in the process of unpacking.
I glanced over at him, his body turning as he put the car in park and unbuckled his seatbelt.
“I could also eat other things too..” He added playfully before giving me that sultry smile as I felt my stomach flip.
“Baby, you promised your friends. Besides, Anna is almost here too..” I said, knowing Caspian needed to show up for his friend.
Honestly..I have been trying to encourage him to hang out with them. I just don’t want the guys to think I’m keeping Caspian away.
I want his friends to like me as pathetic as that is. I know it shouldn’t matter, but these are Caspian’s close friends and teammates.. They are a huge part of his life and I want us all to get along..but my stupidly handsome husband is making it so damn hard.
“But we haven’t even been able to enjoy our new place yet..we still have to christen the walk-in closet.” He grumbled before leaning into me, his fingertips brushing the hair away from my throat before he bent down and began sucking..just like that..no damn warning or anything.
“Baby..we did this morning..and the shower too..oh don’t forget the kitchen.” I moaned, my fingers naturally weaving into Caspian’s dark wavy locks as I tried not to gasp.
Luckily I was wearing pants, or this would go south real quick..literally.
“No, you just sucked my cock in the closet..that doesn’t count.” He whispered against my flesh, making me shudder as his hands slipped beneath my shirt, making their way to my breasts.
