Valentine

I'm engaged.

Wow.

That's going to take some getting used to.

Because in all honesty, I didn't think it was ever going to happen. I know Ethan has mentioned before that marriage and kids was a possibility but in my mind that immediately meant never or very unlikely.

And it's safe to say I had no idea that this was going to happen. But now I think about it the actions of some of my friends in the last week, things kinda make sense now....

But the point remains-

I, Valerie Valentine, am going to get married!

Married-

And even better than that...

I'm going to be a mom one day...

A mommy.

I get to have a child and give them the childhood and the life I always wanted...the life they deserve.

It feels like this is the second part of my life. And I'm ready to take on everything and anything.

But I have a feeling I should fully wake myself up to seize Today. Even if I'm not sure how I'm meant to continuing as normal after last night.

I moved against my pillow, which this morning seems even softer as I heard the ruffling of the sheets and started to become aware of my surroundings...

I blinked a few times and saw as the early March light poured in from the windows, and the sound of the soft sound of the busy street  far below that seeped through the slightly open window.

I smiled to myself, before looking to the other pillow, where Ethan was not, but the space still radiating a comforting  warmth.

"Good morning."

I turned around and sat up with to see where he was standing against the door frame with his own smile to match mine as i bit my lip "Good morning..."

As he came over he said "did i wake you?"

"mmm what is it you always say? the lack of you did, yes."

He chuckled as he sat by my side and wrapped an around me as i huddled close, my hand in his.

"Please tell me last night was real and not some beautiful dream." I giggled
