The next night, after work, we headed to the beach again. It was a little awkward at first, until he lightly grasped my hands. "Kyla..." Joshua started, shyly. I smiled, but felt a little nervous. Was he about to propose to me, again?

"I..." He whispered, as his face got closer to mine. I rested my forehead on his, waiting for him to finish. Our lips were only a few inches apart. My crystal blue eyes and his emerald green ones met.
Moments passed, and before I knew it, our lips were locked. We fit so perfectly, I couldn't even imagine my life without him. I wanted nothing more than to be with Joshua forever.

We broke apart, reluctantly. He leaned towards me, and whispered to me; "Kyla Johnson, I made a huge mistake yesterday, and I want to make it up to you." My stomach dropped. He changed his mind...he didn't want to marry me. I felt like crying, but managed to choke out, "How?"
"Kyla, would you accept this brand new token of my love, and marry me?" Joshua asked, his eyes pleading for me to say yes. I was in disbelief. Tears sprung to my eyes. What was with all of these extra emotions lately?! I was so shocked that no words came out.

All I could do in response was hold out my hand and let him slide the ring on. "I. L-love you so much, Joshie." I whimpered. I was so happy, I couldn't stop smiling.
This was the happiest I had been in a long while, yet I was still bawling. "Are you alright?" Josh asked, cautiously, tenderly wiping tears from my cheeks. "I'm more than alright!" I squealed. I never wanted to let go of him.

The next day at work, I ate some bad Goopy Carbonara. Maybe it had some meat in it, as I have a meat intolerance. I decided i'd ask the hospital chefs tomorrow, but for now, I just wanted to get home.

Once I got home, I rushed to brush the horrid taste (and smell) out of my mouth.
I suddenly felt really tired, and decided to take a quick nap.
Once I woke up, I wiped the grogginess from my eyes. I looked around, and smiled when I saw my lovely (finally) fiance doing our dirty dishes! "Mmm, thank you..." I managed to slur out. "No problem, dear!" He replied, cheerily.
Apparently, I fell back asleep after that. My lovely Joshua covered me up with our heaviest quilt, even though it was the middle of summer. Maybe I was getting a flu?
I woke up in the middle of the night to the same queasy feeling in my stomach. I wanted nothing more than to just fall back asleep and cuddle under my covers. But, sadly, my stomach didn't agree with that.
Soon, I was bent over our toilet, regurgitating my whole day's meals. That confirmed my flu status.
I just had to be sure. I snuck out in the middle of the night, to the pharmacy. I really wanted to know. So, after an hour of buying the pregnancy test, getting home, and...well... "taking" the test, I finally got the results. I almost jumped for joy when I saw the plus. I was pregnant with baby "A"!
