“Well, I guess that means I lost my chance. Congratulations, you two!
Let me take a picture to commemorate the moment. ” As John set me down, he turned to Julia.
“Thanks, Julia.
And you really got me good this time!” “I told you I would!
” Julia laughed.
“But seriously, congratulations. You both deserve all the happiness.
”We posed for a quick photo, silhouetted against the vibrant orange and pink glow of the setting sun.
As Julia said her goodbyes and headed back to the beach, John wrapped his arm around my waist.
“So,” he said, his voice filled with wonder, “we’re going to be parents. ”I nodded, leaning into him.
“Yes, Daddy!
Are you happy?”
John’s answer was a deep, passionate kiss that left me breathless.
When we finally broke apart, he rested his forehead against mine.
“I’ve never been happier. I love you, Rosa.”
“I love you too,” I whispered back, my hand finding his and intertwining our fingers. As we stood there, the warm breeze ruffling our hair and the sound of waves in our ears, I felt a sense of peace and excitement wash over me.
With this tiny bundle of joy nestled inside me and with my John by my side, I was looking forward to nothing but happiness.
“Ready to head back?”
John asked, picking up our bags.
I nodded, taking one last look at the beautiful sunset.
Ready for anything, as long as it’s with you. ”Hand in hand, we walked back to our resort, our hearts full of love and our minds filled with dreams of the future.
This trip had been more than just an anniversary celebration.
It was the beginning of a whole new chapter in our lives and I couldn’t wait to see what adventures lay ahead.
