I was sent back home three days after my baby boy, which we named Matt, was born. I was allowed to just look at him. I couldn't even touch my own child and this was painful.
"I want my son," I said to Harry as I looked at my small baby which was lying in the incubator breathing tiny breaths as his small chest goes up and down.
"I want him too," Harry said, "but it's for his own good. The time he spends there is helping him to get better."
I hid my face in Harry's chest, "Hey," Harry said as he moved my face to look at him, "You are the luckiest person, you managed to stay alive and our little baby is alive too. I'm just happy that I have the two best thing in my life here with me."
I gazed into his green eyes which were smiling back at me. At that moment the smile showing his dimple flashed on his face. My legs always weakened when he smiled like that. I put my arms around his neck, "What will I ever do without you?" I asked him.
He kissed me softly, a kiss that made my insides melt, "Matt will be with us in no time. Now we'll go get ready, I have booked us a dinner at a new fancy Italian restaurant."
I smiled at him. I threw one last glance at my baby and threw him a little kiss, "Mummy will be here for you soon," I whispered.
Harry grabbed my hand and we left the hospital where my dad was waiting for us outside with the car.
"Lore, are you ready?" I heard Harry shout from downstairs.
"In a minute," I said.
I could finally wear a proper fitted dress. Lately I had been wearing sweat pants and T-shirts and hoddies that were huge so that they would cover my bump. I wore a pretty Rose Cloud dress. It was strapless with glitters on the top part. I let my hair down and passed my fingers through my wavy hair, before looking in the mirror one last time.
"Harry's going to like it," Gen said as she hung all the clothes I had took out of my wardrobe, "you look beautiful."
I grabbed my clutch, "Thanks Gen, for everything. I'm lucky to have a friend as supportive as you."
"Oh just go, you're making me tear up," she said as she came over giving me a hug.
I went out of my room to the living room were Harry was waiting for me. I saw Harry staring at me wide eyed, "Wow," he said as he got up from the sofa, "You look beautiful, as always."
"As do you," I said. He looked incredible in his black blazer. His eyes sparkled. He grabbed my hand in his, "Shall we?" he asked me.
"We shall," I said happily and we left the house. We went into the car, Harry was driving. He still didn't want me to drive.
"So I need you to put this on," Harry said as he pointed at a scarf that was hanging out of his pocket.
I took it out, "Why?" I asked him, "It doesn't match with the dress."
"No I mean put it on your eyes," he said.
I covered my eyes with the blind fold as the Harry parked the car. He got off the car and came to open my door. He took my hand and helped me out. It was awfully quite for an Italian restaurant and I didn't hear any doors open as Harry guided me to our destination.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked him curiously.
"You'll see," he said. He untied the scarf and took it off my eyes and the view knocked me off my feet.
We were on a cliff. When looking straight ahead I saw London all lit up. Every house, hotel and shop had small light coming out of the windows that made the night more special. A table was laid plates and cups and red roses in the middle. Harry pulled the chair for me and I sat down. He sat on the chair opposite me.
At that moment a waiter brought us a plate of pasta, "Italian as promised," Harry said.
I was starting to tear up, "You did this all…for me?"
"Yes, because I love you," he said as he touched my hand.
"I love you too," I said.
"Now go on and dig it," he said, "Hope you like it."
I took the fork and started eating the pasta. It was delicious; I just didn't want the plate to finish. The waiter came back again and poured us a glass of wine.
After we ate he took our plates and another man this time with a violin came and started playing a sweet symphony. I couldn't believe what Harry did next. He stood up and came in front of me. He got down on one knee and took out a small box from his pocket. He opened the box showing me a diamond, white gold ring.
He gazed deeply in my eyes and said the word, "Lore, will you marry me."
I looked at him with tears flowing from my eyes, "Yes," I said, "Yes, yes, yes."
I got down on my knees and caught his face in my hands and kissed him. I wanted him to see how much I truly loved him. He pulled away and took my hand and placed the ring on my finger.
He stood up and helped me up too, "May I have this dance?"
I took his hand and we started swaying to the violins sweet music. I dug my head in his chest. The fact that Harry was with me was too good to be true. The fact that he wanted to marry me just made me literally the happiest girl on the planet, "Thanks," I whispered, "for everything. I just don't know how to repay you."
"You don't need to repay me," he said, "we are becoming a family aren't we?"
