"I dare you,"
He said to me with determination in his eyes.
"I dare you to accept my proposal. If you do then I will make you the happiest women on earth."
"What happens if I don't?" I challenged him.
Who does he think he is just popping back into...

CHAPTER NINE: Congratulations
5 Months Later
Zamzam Amin
"You're about 2 months along into your pregnancy, congratulations."
I looked at the doctor wide-eyed. I'm pregnant?
"What did you say?"Adam and I looked at each other with both shocked and happy expressions on our faces.
"You're pregnant Ms. Amin." The doctor said as she congratulated the both of us.
"Thank you." Adam smiled at her then turned to me and placed his hand gently on my stomach.
The doctor put a cold liquid on my stomach and showed us how the baby looked on the monitor beside me. "Wow, the baby is so small." I found myself saying as I stared at it. "From what I can tell the baby is around 8 weeks old. Congratulations once again." She then got up from her chair.
"Wow, we're going to be parents In Shaa Allah." Adam stated happily.
"Alhamdulilah," I added.
This was all too much for me to comprehend at this point. This is the reason why I've been feeling sick for the past couple of weeks. I slowly touched my stomach as I small smile graced my lips. I could feel happy tears forming in my eyes. This baby is both Adam and I, and he or she is currently in me right now. Just the thought of being a mother was enough for me to burst into joyful tears.
As I looked up, I could see the tears in Adam's eyes as well.
"Alhamdulilah." He repeated.
"I'll give you both some space." The doctor said as she left the room.
Suddenly I began to feel really emotional, I am going to be a mom. I can't seem to wrap my mind around it. That's when I began to feel the tears trickling down my cheeks more and more. "Are you okay?" Adam asked with worry laced in his tone.
"Yeah, I just can't believe that we're having a baby." I continued to cry. I wish my mother was here for this, to help me through it and give me advice. It's at big life-changing moments like these that I wish that she was here the most. "What if I'm not going to be a good mom?" I asked worriedly. "What if I'm not meant to be one?"
