Love Me

Chapter 20

"Are you sure? I feel bad, i've been using the exhaustion card a lot...." I felt my eyes start to water from being overly emotional.

"Don't feel bad! You're working on your feet all day, and you're creating a life...You have a very good excuse to be exhausted." He pulled me into him and kissed me softly, i smiled up at him lovingly.

"I love you, you know that right?" I really do, and i hope he knows how much i love him, and appreciate everything he does for me and our little girl.

"I love you too, now go relax!" He gently lead me out of the nursery.

"Yes, sir!" I saluted him and he laughed, swatting my butt as we walked into the living room. I put a movie in and then curled up on the couch.

I was watching the movie for a while but then my stomach started growling, and Lily started kicking up a storm like she always does when i'm/ she is hungry.

"Babe?! What's for dinner? Your daughter is kicking the crap out of me cause we're hungry!" I called out rubbing my belly.

"It's almost ready, give me ten minutes!"

"Ughhhh fineeeee!"

*Twenty Minutes Later*

"Okay, babe! It's ready." Colby called. I got up and walked into the kitchen and stopped when i took in the sight in front of me. There were candles lit all around the room, rose petals spread out all over the table, it looks so romantic.

"You did all of this for me?" I got all teary eyes as i looked at the rose petals on the table, and all the candles setting a soft setting in the room. I wasn't expecting this at all.

"Of course i did! I wanted to do something special for you." He took two plates and set them down on the table and my stomach rumbled at the sight of the food. He made spaghetti, garlic bread, and a salad.

"I'll get you some lemonade since you can't have any wine." Colby said walking over to get me some lemonade from the fridge.

"Thank you, baby!" We sat down at the table and i wiped my eyes.

"Why are you crying?" He asked concerned.

"Because this is just so sweet! I wasn't expecting this!" I was crying like a baby right now because i'm so hormonal and overly emotional.

"Do you like it?" He sounded so worried. How could he think that i wouldn't love this?!

"I love it! And i love you too." I said wiping my tears and reaching over to squeeze his hand gently.

"I love you too." We started eating and talking about everything and laughing at each other's lame jokes. "So do you work tomorrow?"

"Nope, i'm off. I'm going to go get some more stuff for baby girl with your mom and sister and i think my mom and Britt are going to come too since they both moved closer to us. It's so weird having them in the less than twenty minute driving range. I'm so used to them being an hour and three hours away." I am so happy they moved closer to me. It's been so nice getting to see them everyday without having to travel.

"I bet! They are both really excited about the baby." Colby smiled at me.

"I know. I'm so glad we all can come together and get along now. It makes life so much easier." We continued eating in a comfortable silence and i noticed Colby shifted in his seat a lot. "Are you okay?" I asked looking at him in concern.

"Yeah.." He said looking at me and then taking a deep breath. "Luna... I know we haven't been together long, and we are doing things a little backwards....But i love you, and i love our baby girl, and i wanna spend the rest of my life with both of you. You're the most amazing woman i've ever met, and i want you to be mine for life... Luna... will you make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife?" He asked dropping down to his knee in front of me, he pulled out the most gorgeous ring i have ever seen.

I just sat there in shock, if i didn't expect this romantic dinner i damn sure wasn't expecting him to propose!

"Luna?...." He asked nervously, i could see the sweat forming on his forehead.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" I launched myself at him and he caught me, hugging me back tightly, he pulled back and kissed me passionately. He quickly slid the ring on my finger and i couldn't stop staring at it. It's a gorgeous oval cut white gold diamond ring, with small diamonds around the band.

"Do you like it?" He asked smiling softly.

"I love it! It's gorgeous." I couldn't help it i started crying again.

"Why are you crying? Are you not happy?" He asked once again mistaking my tears for something other than what they are. I really hate how much he puts himself down, and how quick he is to doubt himself, and my feelings for him.

"I'm so happy! I'm going to be a mom, and i'm going to get married to the most amazing man!" He gently wiped my tears away and brought me in for a kiss.

"I love you so much." He whispered against my lips.

"I love you so much more!"

"Impossible!" He grinned at me and i returned it. I'm so overwhelmed with how happy i am, it feels like my life is falling into place, and it all revolves around this one amazing man!
