Chapter 20
The next few weeks were busy, busy. I started the process of packing my stuff up to move in with John. Randy and Torrie were good to go on moving in together. The two found an apartment together. She moved out of her own apartment and into it with Randy. Then Randy moved out of his and John's and into the new one with Torrie. It was lots of moving for everyone, but we all—me, John, Randy, Torrie, Amy, and Phil—helped each other with the moving. I didn't do very much lifting, because I was pregnant. John and Amy wouldn't let me, all though, John's brothers helped me move my stuff to John's and my place.
By the time, May rolled around, I was moved in with John, and Torrie and Randy were moved in together. Everyone was happy. John and I were especially very happy.
On the first Friday in the month of May, John and I were at Cenas' having dinner just the two of us. It was date night.
John was actually paying the bill while I still sat our table. I was sending a text message to Melissa. She was coming into town tomorrow to spend the summer in Boston like we had planned back in April. John came back over to the table and sat down.
"I have a question for you," John said.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Do you want to find out the sex of the baby?"
"You know I do."
"When can we find out?"
"In another month."
"That sucks."
"It'll be a fast month, baby," I said. "You know I don't think we really have talked about baby names."
John smiled. "No, we really haven't. But we don't even know if it is a boy or a girl."
"That doesn't mean we can't start talking about names."
"All right, what names do you have in mind?"
I grinned. "I was mainly thinking of a name for a boy."
"Oh, for a boy, huh?"
"Yes, I was thinking John Felix Anthony Cena III!"
John smiled. "I love it! My dad would love it too!"
"My dad would as well, because his first grandson would have his same first name. But the baby could be a girl."
"Very true. I go back and forth between wanting a boy or a girl."
"Well, whatever this baby is: a boy or a girl, there will be plenty of time to have another one and that one could be whatever his or her older sibling isn't," I said.
John smiled. "You're already talking about having a little brother or sister for this baby," He said. "I love it!"
"I at least want two children. I'm open to more. But at least two," I said.
John smiled. "Am I in the picture with both those kids?"
"Of course, you're their daddy."
John's smile widened. "What else is in that picture?"
I grinned. "Us being married and living in a little house with our kids. We'll have Shadow and a few other kitties, plus maybe a dog. And you'll be a detective."
John continued smile. "I see the same picture."
"Good," I said.
"That actually brings me to something. I know you said you didn't want to get married right now. But I have done some serious thinking and I want to get engaged."
I gasped as John showed me a little box that contained a diamond ring. "Oh, my God," I said.
"Trish, I want you and only you, everyday for the rest of my life," John said. "Since I met you, you have made my life a much better place. We've been together for almost nine months, but I want you forever. We're having a baby. I'm not proposing because people would think it is the right thing to do. I'm proposing because regardless of that little baby growing inside of you, I want to be with you. We do not need to get married right away…"
"…You had me at 'I want you and only you, everyday for the rest of my life.' Yes. I want to be engaged to you! I want to get married in the near future! Yes!"
John smiled. We were sitting in a booth. He moved from sitting across from me and sitting next to me. He kissed me and hugged me. He then took the ring and put it on my left ring finger.
"I love you," He said.
"I love you too," I said. I kissed him then. I made him moan as my greedy tongue shot into his mouth and claimed dominance of it.
He pulled away from me. "Come on, let's get out of here."
I smiled at him. "Are we going to go play?!"
John smirked at me. "Oh, yes, we're going to go play and it is going to be a dirty game."
I smirked myself. I grabbed my purse. The two got out of the booth and then headed for the door.
I tell ever since I got pregnant, my hormones were in overdrive. I'm very emotional and very horny.
