Lost and Found

Chapter 23 - Fear

Brittany POV

It's now 5pm; I've just finished going grocery shopping. I have literally nothing at my house to eat and I knew that I would need to eat for the rest of next week. As much as I'm super excited about tonight, I can't stop worrying about it. I mean, I knew Trev loves taking me out on dates but this one suddenly came up. And it's very rare that Trevor suddenly organises something like this, so quickly. It's been on my mind all afternoon- what if he asks to marry me tonight? What if he wants to suddenly commit to a whole new life, just because we are having a baby together? What am I supposed to answer with? Oh sorry Trevor, I can't? Of course not! That would break his heart. I'm so stressed as if he suddenly pops the question tonight; this date could potentially be the very last of our relationship.

I crash my keys down on the bench, walking into my kitchen in my apartment and dumping the 4 heavy grocery bags down on the kitchen table. Yes, Trevor would probably kill me if he found out that I carried them all the way home but the pregnancy is only early, and luckily, after doing some research, if its only for a short time that it won't do too much damage to the baby. Tomorrow is Saturday and Trev and I are planning on telling our family as we think its fair to tell them and let them be one of the first to know. I know Justine and Stephen (Trev's siblings) thought I was pregnant before when I was in Hawaii as they knew we were back together, so hopefully they will be very understanding. It's just Sam that I'm worried about. I mean she's pregnant too, and I know she'd be really sympathetic towards me as she has been through the same thing as me.....it's just that I'm scared she'll be upset that I'm taking this path too early.....

I decide to dissolve my thoughts through a nice hot shower, washing soapy water all through my body and conditioning my hair at the same time. It feel so good to get rid of everything in my mind, and kind of nice to look down at a flat stomach for the last time for at least 9 months.....I get out of the shower, dressing myself in a nice floral jumpsuit and white pumps. I then dry my hair and style it and apply heavy make up as well, not leaving my room without making myself look at least presentable. I grab my purse and phone just in time to hear a doorbell ring.

"Hey!!" I say melting into my boyfriends arms. He smiles as I pull away and am met with his beautiful eyes.

"Awww Trevor, you got me a rose!!" I say, astonished. He chuckles, nodding his head as he gives it to me

"It's gorgeous. Thank you" I say and he smiles

"No problem, princess. You look amazing by the way!" he compliments, making me blush and look down. He chuckles, moving my head up.

"You ready to go?" he asks and I smile, fixing my hair a bit.

"Yeah. Let's go" I say and he smiles, still chuckling a bit from before, before taking my hand and leading me up to the car.

On the way to the restaurant, we play songs on the radio, singing the entire way there until we finally arrive at the place.

"Trevorrrrrr this place looks really expensive!" he chuckles

"Anything and everything for you my dear, you know that I love spoiling you" he says and I chuckle

"Ugghhh I know. Thank you" I say, pecking his lips. He smiles, taking my hand in his and swinging it up and down, walking into the place.

"You're most welcome" he smiles at me

Trevor POV

We arrive at the really fancy place I picked for Britt and I know she already loves it. She looks great and the nights alight like nothing else and I just know that it's going to be the perfect night.

"Table for 2. Under Tordjman" I say to the waiter and he smirks, leading the two of us up to the front of the restaurant.

"Wow. This is so nice" Britt says and I smile, looking into her eyes as we are given a table.

"Can I get you two any drinks?" the waiter asks. I shake my head

"I'll have a champag—"

"We'll just have two waters please" I say interrupting Brittany. She pouts but the waiter just nods and walks away.

"Trevor! I wanted......" I look at her in the eyes, letting her know what I mean and she automatically understands

"Oh right. I'm sorry. I'm new to this pregnancy stuff" she says looking down, I laugh slightly and she smiles as well before we just engage in deep conversation.

"How do you think the movie will go?"

"We'll be fine" I reply "I mean, we will just stay there 3, 4 months like Frank instructed and then we can make sure we use our time to look after the baby. It's a good thing Britt, we get the best of both worlds" I manage to persuade her. She nods, smiling

"I'm so excited" she whispers

"So am I" I reply, leaning across the table to kiss her lips.

Soon we get our meals and we are laughing and chatting and just all round having such a good time. And I know what I'm about to do is the right choice. We leave the restaurant, walking back slowly before we suddenly come across this alleyway- similar to the one Riley and James went to on one of their dates in Season 2. We sit down and I finally, in the midst of the deep conversation, manage to have the guts to ask her.

"Okay I have to ask you something, and I don't want you to freak out, this is just the way I'm asking you" I say but Britt just sits there, confused almost.

"Okayyyyyy" she makes a face that almost makes me laugh but right now I have to keep serious.

"Brittany, I have loved you my whole life. We have been through so much together and at one point I thought we were over.....forever. But this year, when my eyes first laid on you again, it was like I was flying- I was experiencing what I thought was the impossible. Now that we are taking our relationship further and having a baby together I honestly couldn't be happier. I cannot wait to be dad and taking this road with you, day by day, is all I could've asked for...." I say before getting out of my seat and kneeling down.

"Trevor.... I can't get marr—"

"B, I'm not asking to marry you. That wouldn't be right. Just because we are having a baby together doesn't mean we have to get married, that for whenever you are ready. That why I just want you to know that I'm here. And I always will be and personally, in order to do that we need to at least develop this stage further than it already is. Britt, I want you to move in with me" I say calmly, looking up at her who's crying so cutely. She is honestly so sweet and the best thing ever. I hate seeing her cry.

"Trevor, hun of course I'll move in with you" she says softly and I smile.

"I'm so happy. You know that honestly so amazing. But that's not it...." I exhale deeply, looking down and breathing momentarily for a while as I realise I'm still on my knees. I take the ring box out of my jacket pocket, holding it up in front of her where her mouth is slightly open

"I want you to accept this promise ring, to prove that we will be together one day. Get married. And maybe even expand our already developed family" I say gently. She is just beside herself though. She just nods softly and pulls me up and kisses me, deeply for around 5 minutes before staring into my eyes.

"I love you so much" she says and I smile

"So I'm taking that as a yes?" she smiles, looking into my eyes.

"101% Trevor. Thank you" she says and I smiles, slipping the promise ring onto her middle finger, making her smile up at me.

"You mean more to me than anything in the world. And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you by my side" she says sweetly and I smile as we just stand into each other's arms, as the night eventually drags out.
