Delaney looks at Richard who only nods as she sets up her phone in front of her piano and hits record.

🎵 You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin, is a Holy Grail I've gotta find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head's spinning around, I can't see clear no more
Oh, what are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do, oh
What are you, what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Oh, I'll let you set the pace
Oh, 'cause I'm not thinking straight
Though my head's spinning around, I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?🎵

She smiled, looking at the phone, "I hope you enjoyed the song." She grabbed the phone, standing up to sit next to Richard on the couch. She propped the phone in front of them so they were both in view. "I thought I would take some time to address some rumors flying around. The past year and a half has been a roller coaster for me in many ways." She looked at Richard as he placed his hand on her thigh and she looked back at the camera. "I would like to confirm that Richard and I did in fact get married in a private ceremony in the UK last month." She smiled, "also, I would like to take the time to announce that I am pregnant."

Richard squeezed her thigh, "what?! You are?"

She smiled, nodding, "I am. Just found out. Happy?"

He laughed, "are you kidding? Of course I am."

She squealed as he pulled her into a quick kiss before she turned off her phone. "Let's not start buzz by making a live sex tape babe."

Richard laughed, pinning her under him on the couch. "I love you so much." 

She nodded, "I love you too. Crazy, but we should thank Chris for blowing up my life and bringing you into it."
