My mouth dropped and I said this isn’t just because of the baby? He looked at me and said “I love you and I want you to be my wife.” I want to be your wife too, but I don’t want you to rush into anything because of the baby. But if we’re not married than If I get deployed then you and the baby would have to stay here. I know but I don’t want to rush. Okay baby how about this; you say yes and we can be engaged. Then when you’re ready we can get married. Okay because I love you. “YES!”
He put the ring on my finger. I looked at the ring and asked him again; just tell this isn’t because I am pregnant. He looked at me, sit down we need to talk. I told him not her moms home. I went and told Celeste I was leaving, she was in the phone, that’s what she wanted me to think. I told her Damien could come out of the closet and don’t do anything I would or wouldn’t do. Okay was just talking, she said. Dedrek and I are going to the park to talk cause moms home. I told mom I was leaving. She asked were? I said the “the park.”
