Dominic.

The aroma of grilled steaks and pasta wafted through the opened window of the kitchen. Diana stood by the door watching me with adoration as I prepared dinner. I came over to spend the weekend with her at her new apartment and wanted to prepare something nice for her.

I smiled at her. "Dinner is almost ready."

She shivered in delight. "That's exciting!"

After cooking, I carried the pots to the dining table. Diana went to bring the dishes. She came back to the dining room, holding three dishes.

"Why are you carrying three plates?" I asked, confused. "Are you expecting a visitor?"

She shook her head. "No." She pointed at my plate. "This is for you," Then, she pointed at hers. "This is for me." Finally, she pointed at the third plate. "And this is for our unborn child."

"What?" I frowned, looking lost. "But we don't have a ch—" My breath hitched as I realized something. "Oh my gosh!" I gasped out as I stood up with a surprised facial expression on my face. Then, I looked at Diana's face before staring at her stomach. I chuckled and rubbed my face. "Wait a minute, is that what I'm thinking?!"

Diana shrugged and rubbed her stomach while giggling. 

"What?" I breathed. I knew the words, but I couldn't put it into a sentence; I was utterly beyond stunned. I paced around the dining room, my heart bursting with pure excitement. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this." I looked at Diana again. "Honey, are you pregnant?"

She beamed. "Yes!"

"Seriously?!" I said through soft breath. "You have no idea how happy I am right now!" I moved closer to her. "I can't … I didn't even know I was going to be a father so soon." I rubbed my face as tears dropped from my eyes; the feeling was so overwhelming.

Diana laughed, tears dropped through her laughter. "Dominic, are you crying?"

I smiled at Diana. "You make me so happy," I admitted. "Right now, I feel like the happiest man on earth!" Our forehead touched and I squeezed her hands. "Thanks for choosing me, Diana."

"And thanks for loving me, Dominic," she said.

I looked down at her stomach. "Can I… can I feel the baby?"

She chuckled. "Yeah, the baby has been so eager to meet Daddy."

I squatted and rested my head on her stomach. I smiled and gently rubbed her stomach. "I can't wait to meet you," I whispered to the baby. Then, I stood up and looked around. "You know what, I need a ring."

Diana arched her brow at me. "Wait, what ring?"

"I'm coming." I removed the ring of a bottle and fell on one kneel before Diana. I took in a deep breath and looked at her. "Diana, do you agree to be the mother of all my children?"

"What?" She blinked. She looked lost for a moment, she cupped her mouth and gasped. "Yes!" she hollered excitedly. "Yes, I want to be the mother of all your children!"

I grinned and wore the makeshift ring into her middle finger. Then, I stood up and hugged her. "I love you, Diana."

"Love you too," she replied. She held up her right hand. "I'm going to wear this until you get me an actual ring."

I smiled and rubbed the makeshift ring on her finger. "That means you won't wear this for long."

I bent and our lips met in a heartbeat. This, I thought, this was everything I ever wanted.

The End.
