2 months later
"Babe hurry up we're going to be late"
"Nothing fits me!", I whine staring at myself in the mirror with all of my failed dresses on the floor laying everywhere.
I'm five months today, so my baby bump is definitely noticeable now. Don't get me wrong I love seeing my bump grow because that shows me my baby is growing. However none of my dresses fit me.
"Babe wear this one it's stretchable", Eli says handing me a black dress he pulled out from my closet.
Gia's outfit and baby bump
"What would I do without you", I smile loving how this dress fits perfectly.
"You look so beautiful", Eli lovingly says as he beams at me. His emerald green eyes twinkling as he trails down to my belly.
"Thank you", I blush.
It's crazy how he still manages to make me blush just the way he did when we first met.
Suddenly Eli plays a song from Bruno Mars called, "Just the way you are".
"I love that song the lyrics are just freaking cute", I smile listening to the song play on his phone.
"Gia every time I listen to this song it reminds me of you.. every single word it says is exactly what I feel.. your so fucking beautiful", Eli lovingly says beaming at me.
"Oh Eli", I blush feeling so special by his words.
"Never in a million years did I think I'd find someone so utterly and completely perfect, someone who would make me happier than I'd ever dreamed I could be, someone that would touch my life so profoundly and just give me a whole new reason to breathe. But then I found you and realized that everything I anticipated you to be doesn't even compare to who you are"
"Eli your going to make me cry", my voice cracks.
Only Eli knows how to make my heart beat faster and slower at the same exact time. Only he knows how to turn me on at all the right places. Only he knows how to comfort me. Only he knows how to make me feel the most happiest woman in the entire world. Only he knows how to love me. And only Eli knows how to handle me.
Eli tore my walls down without me knowing after Ray hurt me bad. He made me feel love and showed me how to love myself. At times when I was weak and lost he was always there to help me in every way he could.
"Don't babe I just want to dedicate this song to you", Eli cuffs my cheek pecking my lips.
"Elias I love you because your the only one who fought for me and made me believe that I was worth it thank you for that. Also I fell in love with you because you loved me when I couldn't love myself.. your my happiness, my hero, my best friend, my partner in life and now you have given me the best gift you could have ever given me.. you made me a mom", a tear slides down my cheek from all of the emotions I'm feeling.
Eli smiles lifting his thump up carefully wiping the tear away.
"I love you too and you have given me the best gift also by making me a dad carrying my child", Eli responds placing his lips on mine. Our lips moving in sync together so passionately.

"Welcome Mr. Gold and Miss Marin", one of the caterers greets as we step inside of Gold Industry Enterprise.
Today is a huge night for the company. Grandpa Eric is going to retire and hand over his company over to Eli's father.
Eli has been working a lot these past three months ever since he found out about me being pregnant.
This past month Eli and I were house hunting non stop until we found the perfect house to raise our baby in.
Flash back starts now
"This is the one"
"You heard the lady", Eli says to the retailer.
"Babe you don't think it's huge for just the three of us?"
"No, we're going to fill up every room in there soon", Eli winks.
"Dork"
"Gia?"
"Yes?"
"Remember my family's second home we stayed in when we went to New York for New Years?"
"Yes I do why?"
"Do you remember when I told you that one day I would get you a bigger house of your own?"
"Yes I do remember", I smile as I remember his exact words.
"Well here it is", Eli smirks.
I can feel my eyes blur due to the tears that are currently forming from pure happiness and joy I'm feeling.
"Thank you Eli", my voice cracks as I pull him in for a tight hug.
Flash back over
"Gia you look so adorable with your baby bump", April squeaks rubbing my belly.
April has been so good to me. She's always buying my baby clothes, blankets, and shoes.
The baby has so much wardrobe already all thanks to my mother, Eli's family, and our friends.
"Thank you", I smile.
We all take a seat on our reserved table near Grandpa Eric's table. Food is immediately brought over to us and for that I'm so grateful since I can eat a whole cow from this hunger I'm currently feeling.
I quickly start digging into the chicken Alfredo enjoying it bite per bite.
"Do you want a soda?", April asks handing me a Pepsi.
"She can't drink that mom only water", Eli quickly chirps grabbing the Pepsi away from me.
"Just one lick!", I beg chuckling.
"No", Eli firmly says giving me a serious stare.
"Grinch", I mutter taking a bite of my garlic bread.
A few minutes later
"Babe is it normal that I'm still hungry? I ate two plates of pasta", I scratch the back of my head.
"Duh babe your pregnant! Plus your carrying my baby.. you know how much I eat to be so strong", Eli smirks showing off his muscles.
"Get me another plate then", I demand.

"Your belly looks bigger", Eli grins rubbing my belly.
It's so incredible how pregnancy is. Every time I eat my belly gets bigger and once my food is all digested it's goes back to its original size.
"Our baby is a fatty", I smile beaming down at my belly rubbing it with my hand.
It's been almost three hours of speeches from the companies partners and clients. To be honest I was bored all I've been doing this entire time is stuffing my face.
"A round of applause for Gold Industry Enterprise's CEO Eric Gold"
We all instantly stand up applauding as Grandpa Eric goes on stage waving at everyone a huge grin on his face.
"Hello everyone thanks for all being here tonight celebrating Gold Industry Enterprise success within the years and as you might all already know by now I'm going to retire soon, so today I shall be announcing who's the new CEO of Gold Industry Enterprise", Grandpa Eric says through the microphone as everyone applauds and cheers.
Eli grips my hand laying it on his leg as we smile at Zachary who's about to take the thrown.
"It's been a hard decision for me since this company is my baby that started off as a dream that I made come true with sweat, tears, and non stop hard work. I've always had a vision on who's going to take over my business and make it better and I am now 100% sure about my choice. I have faith in this special person I love so dearly. This person has proven to me that my company will be in good hands. It is with great honor to finally announce the next CEO of Gold Industry Enterprise.. Elias Gold!"
Eli and I both glance at each other completely stunned our eyes almost bulging out of their sockets not expecting this at all.
Zachary has a baffled expression plastered on his face clearly showing he didn't see this coming either. Eli glances at his father waiting to see what he's going to say. Zachary instantly grins clapping.
As for April she has the most biggest smile I've ever seen as she beams at Eli. She then pulls out a small pocket picture in her purse standing up showing everyone a picture of Eli of his senior year of high school.
"I made that", April shows off grinning.
My heart melts seeing Eli's picture knowing that he's mine. That handsome Greek god of pure perfection is all mine.
Everyone is clapping and cheering as they all beam at Eli.
Eli glances back at me standing up. I stand up with him embracing him in a hug.
"Congratulations baby", I whisper in his ear placing a kiss on his lips as I pull away to sit down.
Eli then makes his way towards grandpa Eric on stage shaking his hand and tugging him into a tight hug.
"This was definitely not expected, but thank you grandfather for always believing in me. I promise I will make you proud and Gold Industry Enterprise will only get better from here and out", Eli says through the microphone.
Everyone cheers out loud applauding to their new CEO of Gold Industry Enterprise. I know in my heart that Eli will make his grandfather proud and that the company will be in good hands.
After all he did promise and one thing about Elias Gold is that he never ever breaks his promises.
