Chapter 48 | You guessed it

"What's going on?" He asks.

"Can we move our bedroom a staircase or two lower?" I ask, reaching into a drawer.

"You don't like this one?" He seems surprised. "If that's what you want, then I don't have a problem with that."

"No, I'm just thinking ahead in about a couple of months when I won't be able to even walk normally," I say, my heart about to beat out of my chest.

"I don't understand," he says, unsure.

"Well since I'm already pregnant, my tummy is only getting heavier from here onward," and I finally say it, what I've been so nervous about for the past month now.

He only stares at me, his mouth slightly open. To further prove my point, I lay a box on his lap which is filled with pregnancy tests.

When he doesn't say anything, I get impatient but also terrified this wasn't in his plans and he's disappointed. But all the worry washes away when I see a glossy coat over his eyes as he stands up and hugs me tightly.

He doesn't move from that position as he breathes my neck in then crouches down to meet my stomach. He stays there, hugging and kissing stomach almost as if he doesn't know what to say. After a couple more seconds, he stands up and says, "you're pregnant?"

"I'm pregnant," I say, suddenly getting emotional.

"You're pregnant!" He exclaims and hugs me one more time, this time it's filled with laughter and tears, our kiss slightly salty from the tears coming down both our faces.

"When did you, wait, start from the beginning," he says, unable to wipe the smile off his face.

"I'm around 4 weeks pregnant, found out really early on in Australia when I went to the hospital with the others. They took a sample of my blood to make sure I was okay and they came back with the results right after," I explain more in depth how I've been planning on telling him and how hard it's been to keep it a secret.

"I can't believe you could keep that a secret for this long. How stupid can I get?" He says with a smile on his face.

"It doesn't look like you're disappointed at all," I laugh. "Oh it feels so good to be able to be openly hormonal!"

"You're pregnant," he whispers to himself.

"You're gonna be a dad," just saying that out loud makes me bust into tears.

He doesn't say anything else. Instead, he hugs me tightly as I cry on his chest, both of us savoring this moment.

"They're back!" Blake yells, catching everyone's attention.

"Sorry, I had to change out of that dress so I don't ruin it," I tell part of the truth. I'm wearing grey sweats with a white hoodie.

"You're right on time, the gang made some food and we all helped," Rose pops her head out of the kitchen. The food smelled yummy which made me more excited than I already was. And no, this isn't because I'm pregnant, I would've been excited either way.

The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed themselves, we watched a "scary" movie but everyone was laughing, we played some cards, and then it was time for the majority to go home except a couple that wanted to stick around to help clean up.

"Thank you for coming," I hug Rose tightly as she says goodbye to Ace, Blake and I.

"Thank you for having me, and congratulations on the engagement. You did well King," she smiles approvingly and Ace only smiles back.

"How about I drive you home since I'm also heading out?" Blake offers.

"That would be great, I don't want you using public transportation at night," I say, my worries easing a bit.

"I don't want to trouble anyone," she hesitates.

"It's no trouble, really. I wouldn't be offering if I didn't want to," Blake justifies and I give her the puppy eyes.

"OK then, that would be great," she smiles and hugs me one last goodbye along with Blake.

We shut down the door, our house finally empty, and I take a deep breath. I turn back around and Ace's mouth immediately finds mine, and I melt into his unexpected kiss.

It was one in the morning so I was yearning for sleep, but not enough to break the gentle kiss. When we both get a little out of breath, he rests his forehead against mine and I feel the hotness of his breath on my face.

"You have made happier than I could have ever been, it's insane how little I can describe my love to you," he says, almost desperate to make me understand but I think I do. That's because I feel the exact same way towards him.

"I know, I love you too," I say, connecting our lips again.
