Adaline had been told early on in her relationship with Nikhil about the death of Gennie. She was killed by Debbie and her boyfriend Cameron to prevent her telling anyone about what she heard. It was a tragedy especially since her daughter would grow up knowing her mother.

Nikhil had asked her on a date. Her kindness towards his daughter, becoming a nanny to help him out during the difficult time, and her understanding and patience towards his sudden change of hearts. Was he ready to move on? Or was he not?

After a year of dating with no hesitation or break ups, everyone began to ask when they would marry. Adaline could sense something was different about Nikhil. He was more secretive and nervous when she would stop by his house.

They attended a family dinner one night and the one topic Adaline avoided bringing up, was brought up by her sister. "So when do you think you will take your ring off?" She was never known for her subtlety.

Nakhil twisted the ring around his finger. Adaline scolded her sister when Nikhil left to answer a phone call from his father.

"What? It's been three years." She defended herself. "Does he know your pregnant?"

Adaline hushed her when Nikhil walked in. "Thank you for the dinner, but I should get back to Molly." He said.

"I'll stay here." Adaline said.

Nikhil frowned, nodding. He walked out and Adaline remained quiet throughout the rest of the dinner. She began to wonder how Nikhil defined their relationship. Was she just wanted when he got lonely? Would he want another baby?

Days later tensions were rising between them. Adaline regretted how she acted, how she snapped at him, behaving very standoffish. Nikhil called her over for dinner. He was sitting on the couch when she arrived and she immediately knew something was wrong.

Nikhil twisted his ring on his finger as she sat beside him. He took it off, holding it between his thumb and index finger. "This ring represents my past. But without this ring I wouldn't have met you."

"You don't have to -" She began.

"I'll keep it off..." He interjected. "but only if you put this one on." He took out a box from his pocket, revealing the ring inside.

Adaline giggled, tears in her eyes.

"I've treated you unfairly. I'm sorry that I played with your heart. I was afraid of letting go of Gennie. But she would want me to be happy." Nikhil took her hand, squeezing it. "And you make me the happiest man on earth. Will you marry me?"

Adaline looked away and a frown formed on his lips. "I haven't been kind to you. I've been lying to you for a week now...Remember when I was sick and I went to the doctor?" He nodded. "It wasn't the flu..." She placed a hand on her stomach and Nikhil's eyes widened. "I'm four weeks pregnant."

Nikhil smiled broadly, placing his hands on her cheeks as he kissed her passionately. Adaline placed a hand on his chest when they pulled away. "I was afraid you wouldn't want another baby after..."

Nikhil shook his head. "Of course I want another. I love you." He said.

"I love you too." Adaline held her hand out and he smiled while sliding the ring on her finger.

"I'm so glad you said something, I was going to give you wine with dinner." He said.

Adaline giggled when he embraced her, wrapping her arms around his neck. The fire alarm went off and he kissed her cheek before rushing to the kitchen.

She smiled, looking down at her ring.

The future looked bright.
