A/N: I want to thank KGBKBG for giving me the idea for this Tike chapter. This really helped! (PS: Sorry if this is really short, but Tike is not a couple I write that easily.)
Chapter Ten: Big Decisions
July 2022
"Tina? What's all this?"
When Mike came home from work that evening, he was surprised to find his girlfriend, Tina, sitting in the dining room, candles lining the table and an expensive dinner set out.
"Please sit, Mike."
He did as he was told, now concerned by the seriousness in Tina's voice as she spoke. "Did I do something wrong?"
"No, no quite the opposite." Tina shook her head. "In fact, you did something right."
"What do you mean?" Mike asked, picking at the food on his plate, his appetite long gone.
Tina's lip quivered as she looked into Mike's eyes and spoke the next two words out of her mouth, forever changing both of their lives.
"I'm pregnant."
"…What?"
"I said, I'm pregnant."
He was going to be a father. Abruptly, Mike kissed her passionately, both startling and happily surprising Tina at the same time.
"Oh my God. We're having a baby?"
Tina nodded slowly, a smile on her face. "Yeah."
They kissed again, both of them suddenly overcome with so many emotions it sent their heads spinning. Love, fear, nervousness, passion, happiness…
"Marry me."
Tina gasped. "Did you just say…?"
"Tina," Mike kneeled down, taking Tina's hands. "Will you marry me?"
Now it was Tina's turned to be shocked. "Mike…I don't know what to say."
"I love you Tina. And this would've happened soon, baby or no baby. I want to be with you, and our kid deserves a real family. I will respect you and honor you every day for the rest of my life. So, will you give me the honor of calling you my wife?"
"Yes," Tina muttered in reply, leaning down to kiss Mike. "Yes I will marry you."
And that moment couldn't be any more perfect.
