SIX WEEKS PREGNANT- ANNA (Anna's POV)
My baby bump was currently easily covered by a flowy top. I had managed to keep my pregnancy under wraps, and only the founder's council knew.
Speaking of which, it turns out an addition is being added to two other founding families; Caroline is also pregnant.
She and I have been talking more and more lately.
"I mean, I heard Matt got that cheerslut Tammy Devon pregnant as well," she was saying to me now.
Tammy Devon was the infamously slutty cheerleader that Matt cheated on Caroline with. Needless to say, Caroline cut Tammy's cheerleader status the moment she walked in on them having sex. The entire cheerleading squad now rolls their eyes in disgust whenever Tammy walks by them. Caroline's pregnancy has also been kept a secret from almost founder's council thought it was best that we keep our mouths shut until absolutely necessary. Jeremy and Tyler are also becoming friends,which I heard was a first for them.
Caroline and I finished our conversation, and I left her with Mrs. Lockwood. Ever since Tyler popped the question a few days ago, they have been spending a lot of time together. Caroline wants to have a good relationship with her future mother-in-law.I rush home, well to Jeremy's house, eager to get back to him.
When I walk in the door I see Jeremy waiting for me. I smile and sit down on the couch with him. He pulls me close and kisses the top of my head. I pull back and look quizzically into his eyes, acutely aware of his nervousness. He reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a black box. He gets down on one knee and pops open the box cover to reveal a gorgeous diamond engagement ring.
"Anna, will you marry me?" Jeremy asks, anxiety written all over his face.
I was completely speechless for a moment.
"Yes." I said, still stunned.
Jeremy grinned and hugged me hard, before leaning in for a soft kiss, which I immediately deepened.
A minute later he pulled away to whisper, "Mrs. Jeremy Gilbert. Anna Gilbert."
When he said that a wide grin broke out across my face.
He slipped the ring onto the fourth finger of my left hand.
Suddenly, I wondered how we could possibly get married, since we were both so young. I voiced this thought and Jeremy assured me that John and Jenna knew of
and supported this plan. As for me, I was free to make my own decisions because all of my relatives had passed on. At the thought of this, my throat tightened; my mother's death still saddened me. However, then I remembered that I had Jeremy, and the pain numbed.
Jenna and John drove us to Vegas that night. I wore the best white dress I had. Everyone from the founding families came along to see the ceremony. We decided to go the traditional route. Well, as traditional as Vegas gets. Shortly after our arrival, Jeremy and I stood before an officiant.
"Jeremy Gilbert, do you take Anna Smith to be your lawfully wedded wife?"The officiant asked solemnly, using the fake last name I had chosen for this occasion.
"I do." Jeremy said, gazing into my eyes.
"Anna Smith, do you take Jeremy Gilbert to be your lawfully wedded husband?"The question was repeated, directed at me this time.
"I do." I said, unable to tame the smile on my face.
"You may now kiss the bride." The officiant said, turning to Jeremy, who did just that.
"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy Gilbert."I had never been so happy in my life, but I didn't have long to bask in the feeling. Tyler and Caroline had decided to also get married during the Vegas trip, and now we had to attend Tyler and Caroline's wedding.
