Lets see who guessed right?
Chapter 4
She opened the door to their flat and saw that Daniel was not home yet. She walked over to the fridge dropping her things on the counter. She opened it looking for something to snack on until he got home. Yogurt. That would be ok. She sat on the couch with her yogurt cup and ate as she watched the news. After she was finished she leaned on the side on the couch and drifted off to sleep.
Daniel walked in and saw the love of his life peacfully sleeping on the couch. He grabbed the throw off the back of the couch and threw it over her after he placed the food on the counter. Her eyes flew open as she jumped up.
"What?" She startled him as she ran towards the bathroom and slammed the door behind her. He ran to the door and listened as he heard her start to heave. "are you ok?" Then the faucet turned on as she brushed her teeth.
She walked out "Yeah, I think it was the yogurt I ate." Pointing at the package on the coffee table.
"But we just bought that yesterday…" Something was up but he didn't know what it was. He was surprised as sheturned around and ran back into the bathroom. " I really don't think you are ok. Maybe you should go to bed."
As she opened the cabinet to get out her toothbrush again she noticed something. A pink package of tampons that she had bought when they moved in….from two months ago…unopened….Oh No, she thought to herself. I can't be…She composed herself as she walked back out of the bathroom. Daniel looked at her puzzled. She looked at him and smiled. "Daniel….I.I….think I'm…pregnant."
"What?" He made his way to the couch and sat down. "Are you sure."
"Well, I have not had my little visitor since we have moved here. Don't you think that's a little strange?" Crossing her arms "And now I am throwing up….I guess there is only one way to tell." She grabbed her purse and walked towards the door. "I'll be back in a bit." She smiled and turned to him "I love you"
He looked up from his blank stair "I..I love you too…"
It wasn't long before she was back with a brown paper bag in hand. Daniel had set the table and put out the food while she was gone. No matter what she knew they would be ok. They were in love and he would be there for her. Daniel walked out of the bedroom and saw her walk towards the bathroom.
"Hey, don't leave me out." He grinned at her trying to lighten the mood.
"I won't I'll be out in a minute." To Daniel that minute seemed like an hour. Finally she emerged with the test in her hand. "Ok we have to wait just a few minutes. " They both sat on the couch as she placed the test on the coffee table. She set the timer on her blackberry and turned towards him and gave him a kiss. "Everything is going to be ok" He reassured her. Then the phone buzzed as the timer went off. She picked up the test and a tear ran down her face. "Its…Its Positive." Daniel smiled wide and grabbed her in his arms.
"This is so amazing…I can't believe it…we are going to have a baby." He quickly got up and ran to their bedroom. Betty heard some shuffling and a drawer slam. Daniel ran back out to Betty and sat next to her. "I have been holding onto this for a couple of weeks now and I think right now is as perfect time as ever….Betty…I love you…and we are about to start a family together……I want to spend the rest of my life with you…."He slid from the couch down to one knee on the floor. "Betty….Will you marry me?"
"Oh my….Yes Daniel…Yes…" She hugged him. He moved her back as he took the ring from the box. It was the most beautiful ring she ever saw. He placed the ring on her finger and kissed her hand. "So, when are we going to tell everyone?"
"Not just yet….I have an idea."
Betty and Daniel flew home and told everyone about the wedding. But not yet about the baby. They needed to work fast. They told everyone that they wanted to get married soon within a month due to work reasons. They all worked around the clock to bring the wedding together, all the while Betty and Daniel had another secret up their sleeve.
It was their wedding day. It was finally here. The ceremony was beautiful. There were so many tears as Betty walked down the aisle, most of them from Daniel. At the reception Daniel took the microphone for his toast.
"On behalf of Betty and I we would like to that everyone who came today. This day is very special and it means a lot that you are all here. There is someone who couldn't be here with us today that we would like to acknowledge…" he turned to Betty as she moved to stand beside him. "They sort of are here, but you just can't meet them yet. " They both smiled. Betty looked over at her family and they looked at her confused. "What is going on…" Her sister mouthed to her. "Actually, " Daniel continued you won't be able to meet them for another six months." Daniel turn towards Betty placing his hand on her stomach. "At that time you will meet the newest addition to the Meade family…."
"Oh My G..d….Your pregnant…!"Hilda shouted out excited and ran to her sister. Tears welled up in Betty's eyes as she nodded her head. Everyone started clapping and chattering. Betty and Daniel were surrounded by family and friends so excited and asking them so many questions. Betty smiled up at Daniel. His mother came over to them…
"I'm gonna be a grandma….I can't believe it. I am so happy for you two. Whatever you need, I am here for you." She hugged them both then made way for other family.
Ignacio walked up to them.."I can't believe it. My little Mijah is all grown up, married and having a baby….Your mother would be so happy for you." He said as he hugged her. He looked up to Daniel "you better take good care of my little girl, and my grandchild." Daniel nodded "I will"
Amanda and Marc ran over to them. "Oh my Gosh…I am so freaking happy for you!" Amanda shouted
"To bad we will only get to see the little rugrat on the holidays." Marc said "So wait if you are having a baby in six months, then you are three months pregnant…..Woah…you got knocked up while you were still here…."He counted in his head "The night of the Madua proposal….the one that me and Amanda planned…..Oh gosh…..we were here when it...well...he or she...was conceived"
"What?" Betty said confused
"Well we left when you two started…you know…..but we planned the whole thing. We withheld that message on purpose to get you two to talk things out. We didn't know you would get her knocked up."
"We totally should be the godparents…we were apart of the conception you know." Amanda proclaimed
"You two planned it?" Daniel looked at Betty and placed his hand on her stomach. She placed her hand over his. "Well, thank you. You helped to make me the happiest man alive."
"Wait until I tell Whilimina that baby Meade was made on her desk…" She laughed as she walked away with Marc
The DJ announced it was time for the couple's first dance….to their song Betty and Daniel made their way to the floor.
...At Last, My love has come along…
"I meant what I said" Daniel looked down at Betty
She put her head on his shoulder as they moved slowly across the dance floor. "What do you mean?"
"I really am the happiest man alive because of you and our baby. I never thought my life could be this good. But it is…because of you." He pulled her closer as they swayed back and forth. It was like they were the only ones in the room. He leaned down and gave her a soft kiss. Everyone in the crowd awwed.
It was the most perfect night.
More to Come!!!
